It was a long day, Rowan was looking forward to unwinding at home. No work, no projects due. Just a little bit of rest; turning the key to his london apartment. He was greeted by the aroma of fresh bread and sounds of laughter and cooing ; Jude and Leo no doubt. He couldn’t help but smile, it was the best part of his day, being able to come home and to his two favorite people.

“ Something smells good,” he called as he placed his bag on the rack near the door. He hadn’t noticed that their voices quited a little, as Padme rounded the corner from the living room flinging her arms around him hugging him.

“ Well this is nice,” he chuckled pressing a kiss in the mess of curls. “ What is this for.”

“What, can’t I give my boyfriend a hug welcoming him home.” her voice sweet.

Too sweet.

Here was the thing. Rowan had spent more then several years inside of a virtral reality game with Jude. It was a long time, he gotten to know her pretty well. She baked pastries and baked goods when she wanted to thank a person for helping her or her friends. How her nose scrunched up, when she was thinking about something. Her inability to wink- even though he found her attempts to be the cutest thing he’d seen.

Rowan also knew, when she was trying to butter him up. With hugs and kisses and his favorite foods. So as she pressed light kisses on his arms , arm still wrapped tightly around him holding him in place he got suspecious.

“Jude,” voice incredulous looking down at her, “ What’s going on?

A sheepish look adorn her face, “You have to promise not to get mad. Leo, tell him not to get mad.” she called over her shoulder.

“ Don’t get mad.” Leo called back still in the living room.

Yeah, this wasn’t good.

Reaching around, he gently pulled Jude’s arms from around his waist. When he heard a soft whining and something pawing at his leg. His eyes widen in surprise as very small and dirty puppy looked up at him.  “ You got a dog?”

“It’s not a dog,” she frowned kneeling to lift the creature up holding it in her arms. “-its a puppy.”

He rolled his eyes, “ Jude, this is like Baby B all over again.”

“Oh, can we name her Baby B,”

“No.”

“Why not,” she frowned

“Because naming it means we are going to keep it and we can’t”

Leo, entered the hall now, another dog- puppy in his hands. This one was black with blue eyes. “ Okay, but we might have named them already. We can’t name her Baby B. She a dog not some digital bat.”

Rowan shook his head, rubbing his forhead. “ We can’t name them anything because we aren’t keeping them.”

“Ah come on big guy,” watching as Sawyer poked her head around the corner. “This one kinda looks like Snow.” she said cuddling yet another puppy. Rowan looked between the three of them and let out a long sigh. Welp, there went his quiet night.
