Curvy And Confident

Opening the shop door I see a bunch of letters on the floor I pick the up, we go to back and I put on the coffee maker. Sitting at the table I open the letter mine is a bit different because I own my shop I have been made an offer to sell and if I do then I must have the property cleared out by the end of the month
"What are you going to do?" Marty asks
"Well right now we are going to start moving Jill's things into her bungalow and think about it later" I say it's nothing that can't be sorted later. Locking up the shop I get in the car while Marty gets in the van when he flashes his lights I pull out and start heading home. When I turn into willow lane I notice something On the side of the road and pull over getting out of the car Marty is soon at my side 
"Why did you stop?" just then a whine come from the side of the road I rush over seeing a dog lying on its side I can tell a leg is broken as it's the facing the wrong way
"Marty please we have to get it to a vet"
"Ok let me get him" he picks him up slowly and places him in the back of the car I get in the back with him I don't realise I'm crying until my tears fall on him.
"You will be ok I promise" I cry I don't realise the car has stoped until the door opens I expect to see Marty but it's a woman in scrubs
"I here to help lets get him inside" she takes him out gently rushing inside I follow behind them until I can't go any further.
"Excuse me I need to ask some questions" I look at the lady and walk over Marty has his arms around me "is the dog yours?"
"No we found him on the way home at the side of the road" Marty says
"I'm sorry, have you seen him before?"
"No never" just then the vet comes out
"Please sit down" we sit "so the dog is not yours you have never seen him?"
"No"
"I have him on the operating table he is not young and without owners it's a very difficult decision for me weather to operate or put him to sleep"
"What no you can't do that!" I snap
"If I do the operation then he will need special care and with no owner he will be put in a shelter" I look at Marty
"Is there no chip?" Marty asks
"No I have looked"
"Ok we will take him we will pay all costs just save him" I hug Marty so happy and sad at the same time
"Are you sure he will need a lot of care after the operation" I look at Marty
"I'm selling my business I will be home with him" I say Marty hugs me tight
"My name is carol and I will do everything to save him"
"Thank you" she goes back to the operating room I assume. Marty fills in all the paperwork for our new little guy
"What do you want to name him" Marty asks I sit and think for a while
"Saint" I say Marty writes it down he hands the paperwork back to the receptionist.
"It's best you go home we will call when the operation is done"
Marty nods and we go to the car outside as I sit in the passenger seat the bells ring letting everyone know it's the beginning of a new year.
"Let's go home" Marty says
"No let's do what we were going to do I'm not going to sleep so we might as well carry on"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I am" I say. We drive back to where the van is Marty gets in the van and I slide into the drivers seat, when he flashes his lights I pull out again, we make it to Jill's bungalow and I get the keys out of my bag, opening the door I start to open all the windows when I finish I get some cleaning supply's and start cleaning the kitchen, it takes me hours to clean the whole place but I'm thankful for the distraction. I spot Marty in the front room with the tv
"Is it all set up?"
"Yes just finished"
"Me to with the cleaning, so now we just need to get Jill's things in, I was thinking about just putting her things in the room they go and letting her place them I don't want her to think I took over" I say
"She will be happy for the help trust me" when we have taken everything in and put it in the room it goes in I close all the windows and lock up.
Heading home its two thirty am all I think about is saint hoping praying he is ok, sitting on the sofa I pick up the iPad and start looking through all pet supplies. Marty joins me on the sofa handing me a cup of coffee
"Thanks honey"
"What you up to?"
"Well I'm looking at pet supplies I want to be ready for when he comes home" I say my phone beeps and I pick it up I have five missed calls from mom two from jill I show Marty the phone and he takes his out of his pocket dialling a number I hear it ring
"Why the fuck did you not answer your phone?"
"Calm down Jill"
Are you both ok?"
"Yes we are both ok?" I snuggle into Marty letting him explain what has been happening.

Opening my eyes I'm in bed I sit up running my eyes, throwing the covers off me I go to the bathroom turning on the shower, throwing my clothes in the basket I step into the shower I let the hot water wash over me.
Feeling better I put on legging and a long shirt I find Marty in the garden
"What you doing?"
"Morning beautiful, I'm looking at where the fences need to go to keep saint safe" I wrap my arms around him. We walk around the land in the end we decide to put a hip high fence around a large part of the land attached to the house with a gate at the bottom so he can go out further when we are with him.
"I hope he is ok" I sigh Marty's phone rings
"Hello" he puts it on speaker
"This is carol"
"Hi carol how is saint?"
"The surgery went well he had some internal bleeding it's a good job you found him when you did, I'll keep him a few more days then he should be able to go home"
"Can we come see him?"
"Of course I'll see you later"
"Ok thank you bye"
"Bye" he hangs up the phone
"I can't wait to see him" I say
"Me either beautiful".

We are in the car heading to the vets when we arrive we get out, holding hands we walk inside carol is there. She shows us through to the back I spot him in a cage and my heart melts, opening the cage I step inside and sit next to saint holding my hand out for him to sniff he is hesitant and when he finally does he puts his head on my lap, I'm Holly and this is Marty but to you we are your mom and dad, I smile at Marty he comes closer and sits with us.
