Despite your husband's initial resistance, you successfully convinced him to adopt a kitten from the shelter after months of persuasion. However, with his busy schedule at the lab, you ended up going to the shelter alone. You found a cute kitten, but your heart broke seeing its siblings left behind. Unable to resist, you brought all five home.

When Albert returned home, a grin formed on his face, quickly replaced by disbelief at the sight of you surrounded by playful kittens, their meows filling the room.

"You can't be serious, we only agreed on one kitten," he sighed as he sat down beside you on the couch. "But otherwise, it would be separated from its little brothers and sisters, and besides, an animal shelter is no place for little ones," you said gently, offering him a smile.

"You brought those rascals home, you take care of them," Albert grumbled, though his tone softened with a hint of amusement as he tried to steal a kiss from you, only to be interrupted by a playful kitten jumping onto his chest.
