Together

As the lavender pup places her head against her father’s broad chest, he lays a paw over her shoulders and draws her into a deep hug. Slender legs snake around his sides as Andy reciprocates every ounce of love that is given. Then, Sirius softly tells her that he loves her and the purple pup feels the tears once again stinging her eyes. He isn’t one to usually be so sentimental and, while he doesn’t often say the words ‘I love you’ she knows, deep down, that he does. But now, hearing them softly offered to her has the girl’s heart singing with joy and she softly responds, “I love you too dad.” As he moves to release her, the girl shifts her weight back so she can lift her pale gaze to meet her father’s own blue eyes.

Voice soft but filled with so much love, she adds, “I will always love you dad. No matter what.” Truer words have never been spoken by her and, while she may get frustrated or angry with him, her love will never waver. Sirius is her father and she is a daddy’s girl. Finally, she pulls away, stating the rooms she thinks she will need. Of course, her dad agrees with her ideas and adds to them which has Andromeda nodding enthusiastically, “So, two walls will need to be solid enough to withstand the wind storms that can come through. The glass will be okay… right?” She wonders if there is something extra they will need to do to protect the glass or if it will be thick enough by itself.
