frogs_of_warI'd make a note (where I'd written the other chapters) that I had the info for this chapter in my red and green notebook with flowers on it. So yesterday I hunted it down. It took me ten minutes to find (There were only four places it could have been, but I have a lot of notebooks) and ten more minutes of looking through to find any reference to this chapter. Normally when I leave a note to myself, it's because I've written at least a summary.
In this case it was one page with a one sentence about each of the seven chapter. I almost through down the book in disgust. After writing the chapter, I found a longer summary, so I added that ending
New Kittens 5
Jay played with Vido’s fingers. They were so long and beautiful. Jade was making sure the boys were in bed for the night and Jay didn’t want to start talking without him. Vido lifted their hands to his mouth and kissed the pads of Jay’s fingers. “I love you.”
Jay nodded. His voice was going to fail him and if it did he was going to fail himself.
Jade closed the door and hopped onto the bed. “Dressed or naked?”
“What?”
Vido laughed. “We know you want to talk.”
“So dressed or naked? Human form or cat? I find it’s easier to talk about touchy subjects as a cat, but then that’s the form I was born in.”
“How did you know I wanted to talk?”
Jade sprawled on the bed like a giant cat and gave Jay a lazy look. “How long have we been in love with you?”
His men did know him. Jay sat up. “I…”
“Don’t stress yourself.” Vido kissed his neck.
Jay rubbed his face. He was making this whole thing more stressful than it should be. “When would be the best time to have our next litter?”
“Late spring.” Jade laid his head on his hand. “Now that we have a safe place for them to play outside. But any time is fine.”
“Late spring would mean starting soon.” Vito purred. “Or we could wait for next year.”
“No.” Jay lay back and stared at the ceiling. “This year. But…”
“But?” Jade crawled up beside him.
Jay let it out in a rush. “I want my baby born first. I don’t want anything to distract you two when I’m in labor.”
Vido kissed Jay’s shoulder. “I agree.”
“You don’t have to, you know, carry a kitten.” Jade leaned over Jay without touching him. Jade had grown so much, not just taller since they’d made VJ together. “You have nothing to prove to us. Or yourself.”
“I don’t… I’m not… I want to carry your kitten.”
Jade grinned. “Thank you. But I’ll still love you if you want to wait. Or if you decide never to.”
“I know.” Jay pulled Jade over him. His body was warm and hard.
Vito stood up and stripped. “Tonight? And then make the other kittens after you’re over morning sickness if you’re prone.”
Jay glanced between his men. “Do we have what we need?”
Jade grinned. “We could wait a few more weeks.”
“No. Tonight.” They must want this as much as he did, if Jade had already gotten what they needed from his Mom.
Jade stood up and stripped himself and the top covers and sheet from the bed. He unwrapped a wafer and held it out to Jay. “Note how it tastes. Mom’s sure to ask.”
Jay bit down and chewed slowly. It didn’t taste as good as the catnip laced brownies they’d eaten when making the other kittens. “Needs more chocolate.”
He took his clothes off, sat on the bed, and turned himself to a cat. His men wrapped themselves around him. The only difference between tonight and all the other ones was the extra foreplay to give the wafer time to work and the huge difference it would make in their lives months down they road. But he wanted this change with these men. Everything really was perfect.
Much latter Jay opened his eyes to the sound of small feet in the hall.
“Look,” said VJ. “They’re awake. The lights on.”
One of the nightstand lights was still on. He was going to have to get up and cover himself and his men. Or turned back into a cat. He didn’t have strength for either.
“No,” said Deev, “If we wake them, they won’t get us our babies.”
“I can’t wait for our babies,” Jas whispered.
The little footsteps faded. Jay’s men shifted closer to him. He closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
