New Kittens part 6


Vido didn’t know whether to be upset or enthusiastic. That really depended on how upset Jay was. They had decided on three kittens. Three was a good number. One for each of them. One for each of the older boys. Not too many for either Vido or Jade to feed at once.

Three.

His uncertainty was just the pregnancy talking. He should be thrilled. Jade was and he was the one carrying the extra kitten. Vido rubbed his face. Maybe he just needed a nap. Carrying Deev and Jas hadn’t wiped him out this bad. Jade’s Mom theorized that carrying a familiar with a Persian wizard might delute the affects of carrying a Persian wizard alone. Had Jade been this tired and out of it while he carried VJ?

Vido closed his eyes and let his head rest on Jade’s shoulder. “Is this pregnancy easier for you than VJ was?”

Jade petted him. “I’m grown now.”

“But…”

“Don’t feel guilty. I wouldn’t exchange VJ for anything, even if he hadn’t come with two such handsome fathers.”

Should he have been feeling guilty? “Your Mom said I was made for having kittens last time, but this time I feel like I’m going everything wrong.”

Jade kissed his head. “You’re perfect. Sleep. I’ll wake you up when Jay gets back.”

Vido changed to cat form and turned around a few times on Jade’s lap. He just couldn’t get comfortable and he wasn’t even close to halfway through.”

Jade stroked him in the way that felt best. The boys were spending the night with their aunts and uncles—Jay’s parents’ familiars. This was the first time since Vito’s men had come to his concert right after Jay’s magic resistant morning sickness had ended. And Vido wouldn’t even have the strength to watch.

Jade purred. That’s what Vido needed. He joined the sound and feel asleep feeling less awful than he had in weeks.

“My loves, I’m home.” Jay bounced into the house. Where did he get all that energy? “You’ll never guess.”

Jade smiled. “Your news first or mine?”

Jade plopped down beside them and stroked Vido’s fur. The kitten pushed out, deforming Jade’s round belly. “He wants to come out and join us. Don’t you, little love.”

Vito purred louder to let his baby know he was close. The kitten purred back. Jay grinned. “Isn’t that cute? And doesn’t that mean I have less than a week left?”

“It did for me. And Vido. But not for Mumsey. None of us purred until after we were born.”

“Well, I’m hoping. And your news?”

Jade laughed. “Do you remember how enthusiastic you were to end your morning sickness induced celibacy?”

“Do I? I love you guys and this baby, but I’m not doing it again. Unless someone can guarantee I won’t get sick.”

“And how you couldn’t keep your hands off me?”

“You didn’t seem to mind.”

“Not in the least. And that you ended up topping me.”

Jay grinned. “Quite vividly.”

“And since I’d taken catnip…”

Jay leaped to his feet. “More than one kitten?”

“Two.”

Jay laughed. “One of these days I should get you both with two at a time. Of mine.”

Would that pregnancy be twice as bad as this one?

Jay cast his spell to change into a cat and curled up beside Vido. The warm baby against Vido’s side was nice and so was it’s cute little purrs. Soon, Vido promised the kitten inside him, that will be you.
