Prompt: supercorp, their Daughter brings home a little puppy and asks if she can keep it, Lena has to deal with three pairs of puppy-dog eyes!
Lena looks up in time to see a little girl barreling across their apartment towards her and it only takes a few moments before little arms wrap tightly around her legs.
“Hey, Lily,” Lena smiles, ruffling her daughter’s hair before she reaches down and scoops the girl up for a proper hug. Little arms wrap around her neck instead and Lena holds her back just as tightly. She hears Kara walking across the room to join them as she presses a kiss to the girl’s brown hair. “How was the park with Mama?”
Lily beams, the smile all Kara’s. “Guess what we found!”
Lena laughs at the little girl’s excitement as she feels a kiss pressed to the side of her own head. “Hi,” Lena murmurs as she turns to give her wife a proper kiss, albeit a brief one, before she’s met with bright blue eyes and a smile that still melts her heart to this day.
“Hi, how was your afternoon?”
“Mommy! You have to guess!” Lily says, rocking backwards and forwards in Lena’s arms to gain her attention again.
Lena smiles at her wife before they both turn back to her daughter. “I don’t know sweetie, what did you find?”
“A puppy!” Lily exclaims.
“Yep!” Lily says with a vigorous nod. “And Mama said we could keep him if you say so too!”
“Kar-“ Lena cuts herself off as she turns back to her wife and sees the bundle of fur in her wife’s arms that she’d somehow missed before. "You found him in a park?”
Kara bites her lip and Lena knows she is about to tell her something she won’t like. “We didn’t exactly find him at the park, it was more the adoption centre at the edge of the park.” Kara pauses. “We can take him back if you really don’t want him, but Lily gave me the look you know I can’t resist and how could I say no to her?” She holds the puppy up close to her face and twin pairs of puppy eyes stare back at her. “Or this one?”
“Please Mommy?” Lily adds and Lena turns to find a third set of equally convincing eyes on her. Lena looks between the three of them, they have talked about getting a dog in the past but then they’d had Lily instead and that idea had been pushed away but maybe it’s time to expand their little family a bit more, it’s about to get bigger soon anyway.
Kara’s eyes widen. “Wait, really? I thought you’d need more convincing than that.”
Lena smiles. “You know I can’t say no to Lily either, plus he is pretty cute.” She reaches out to scratch the puppy behind the ears and watches with delight as his tail starts wagging.
Kara lets out an excited squeal as she throws her arms around her and Lily. “Did you hear that, sweetie, Mommy says we can keep the puppy.”
Little arms are around her neck again as Lily gives her another big hug too. “Thank you!”
“You’re welcome, Lil-bug,” Lena grins, and their daughter laughs at the nickname.
Lily squirms in her arms so Lena puts her down and Kara puts the puppy down as well and then they’re all laughing as Lily and the puppy run circles around each other in the living room.
“Thank you,” Kara says, stepping up behind Lena, arms circling around her stomach and head coming to rest on Lena’s shoulder.
“No, thank you,” Lena says instead. She nods at their daughter. “Look how happy she is, that’s because of you.”
Kara presses a kiss to her cheek. “That’s because of us.”
Lena hums as she leans back further into her wife’s embrace. “If she’s this excited about a dog, imagine how excited she’s going to be when she finds out she’s going to get a little baby brother or sister soon.”
