"Honey, I'm home!"
Mitch shouted from the house. You turned around startled. He wasn't supposed to be home yet.
"I'm in the backyard. Do not come out here!"
You turned back to the puppy you were holding and held him higher so he could look into your face.
"You need to stay quiet, okay?"
The puppy just looked at you so you put it down to his siblings.
You quickly ran into the house before Mitch could walk out.
"Hey babe."
He hugged you and gave you a quick kiss.
"Why am I not supposed to go into the backyard?"
You unwrapped his arms around you and stepped away.
"It's a surprise. Just, stay here. And don't move. Or look."
He put his hands over his eyes, still smiling. You quickly ran upstairs and took the missing piece of your surprise. You ran back down and saw that Mitch still had his hand over his eyes.
Putting puppies into baby bodysuits was not as hard as you had imagined but it still wasn't easy. After you finished you walked back into the house and took Mitch's hands.
"Can I look?"
You laughed and lead him to the backyard.
"Now, before you open your eyes, they really really really needed a home and I just couldn't let them get separated.
"What are you..."
He opened his eyes and trailed off. On your lawn six tiny Golden Retriever-Lab puppies in Maple Leafs baby bodysuits were playing.
"Puppies!"
You watched in amusement as your totally most definitely 6" tall boyfriend dropped down to let your newest family members run all over him.
"Where did you get them?"
He was holding the puppy you nicknamed Auston in his arms. You bent down and picked up Mo and held him close.
"My old neighbors dog had them and they were looking for a new home. I found out the last time I was visiting my parents so I kinda just told them we'd take them."
Mo wiggled a bit so you let him down.
"That one is Mo." You pointed to him. "And the one you are holding is Auston."
He let the puppy go and stood up.
"You named them after my team?"
"Yeah. There's Mo, Auston, Willy, JVR, Jake, and Junior."
"Junior?"
You went and picked up puppy Mitch and brought him over to human Mitch.
"Mitchell, meet your new son, Mitch Junior."
He nearly dropped the puppy at that.
"Holy shit, I'm a dad."
You lightly punched his shoulder.
"No swearing in front of the children."
He put Junior down and pulled you into his arms.
"If I'm dad does that mean you're mom?"
Instead of answering you kissed him.
"I can't believe we're parents now babe. But why did you have to name them after my team."
