"Good news? What is it?"
"Puppies!!!" Elisabeth grins. "R found some poor little puppies abandoned in a box on the street and he brought them home."
"I love them more than life." Elisabeth points under the table, and Amelie sees the puppies sleeping soundly.
*High pitched squealing noises from both of the girls; Jehan comes over to see who's in distress*
"What are those?" He says.
"They're dogs Jehan," R emerges with a bottle.
"
Give that to me." Elisabeth grabs at the bottle. "You're setting a bad example for our babies."
*R was not aware that dogs could be alcoholics.*
"I know they're dogs," Jehan frowns. "Are they yours?" He asks Elisabeth.
"Well... I can't actually look after all three of them once they get older."
Jehan's eyes go wide. "Can I have one, then? Oh, Amelie please say we can have one!"
Amelie smiles at Jehan's excitement. "Of course we can have one of them. They are adorable."
...."And I suppose I could give the other one to..." Elisabeth starts.
Marius runs past singing "a heart full of love", making everyone jump.
"Marius," R shouts. "Can you use your heart full of love for something useful!"
Marius narrows his eyes and stomps over. "What do you..." he sees the puppies.
