Well, here's the sequel like I promised!

It would've come later, but Cocobutterrox DEMANDED me to write it now. Haha. Well, enjoy! For those who haven't read "Kittenhood Crush," you might want to before reading this. It will explain a few things.

*I don't own Cats.*


"Mom! Dad!" I woke up to see Chartara running around our room. "Wake up!" She sped back out of the room. I looked over at Tugger, who kissed me and my stomach good morning. My pregnancy was showing, and I was only a few weeks away from the due date.

Chartara ran back into the room before speeding back out again. Everlasting Cat knew where she got all that energy! Tugger winked and scrambled out of bed. He stood at the side of the door and waited for Chartara to run back in. Lo and behold, she came back in. Tugger snatched her up and she squealed.

"Where's the fire?" He asked her as he set her down. The old saying was 'What? Did you see Macavity or something?' But Tugger couldn't say that after...well, you know. So he changed it.

She shrugged. "I dunno. I'm just excited for my new baby sister."

"Now Chartara," I said as Tugger helped me out of bed. "We discussed this: we're having the kitten be a surprise. It may be a brother."

She frowned. "Maybe. I just hope it's a sister. Dad, can we go hunting now? Ova and Uza are ready to go."

"Alright, alright." Chartara gave me a hug and kiss goodbye before running out to meet her friends. Tugger stayed back to help me to the couch.

"Good luck," I murmured as we watched her leave. "You're gonna need it."

Tugger chuckled. "Yeah. Well, we'll be back soon. Anything you fancy for at the moment?"

"Pigeon," I answered. He nodded and took off after our daughter. I leaned back against the cushions and rubbed my swollen stomach. "Hope you come soon, little one. We're all excited to meet you."

They came back a little while later, along with Ovahad, Fairuza, and their families. Remember when I mentioned that I wasn't the only one pregnant? Well, Demeter, Bombalurina, AND Victoria were all pregnant as well! We all planned to keep out kitten's genders a secret, and we were all dying with curiosity!

"How are your feet, Vicky?" Demeter asked. Victoria had the worst swollen feet out of all of us.

"They still hurt like crazy," Victoria replied. "But Misto and Uza are using their healing powers to help."

"Dad says I'm getting better at it!" Fairuza boasted proudly.

"'ey, wonna see moi new Rumpus Cat comics?" Ovahad asked Chartara and Fairuza. They nodded and ran over to his den. With them gone, we talked a little more about Chartara.

"Any more nightmares?" Bomba asked.

I shook my head. "No. It's strange. Jenny said that she shouldn't have gotten over that this early. She says that most kittens and human babies that experience that type of stuff take years to get over."

"Maybe she's just lucky," Misto piped up.

"Woll, she seems tah be bettah, ot least," Jerrie added.

"No kidding," Tugger replied. "We're just so grateful she's better. She's so excited for her new sibling. How about Fairuza and Ovahad?"

"She's excited," Misto and Victoria said in unison.

"So is Ovahad," Bomba added. "He desperately wants a brother."

"Huh…" I mused. "Like father, like son." Jerrie still hopes to have all boys. I feel bad for Bomba. She wants to at least have one daughter!

We started talking about the Jellicles. Most of the queens still followed Tugger around, still drooling over his swagger. They always wanted him to dance and sing for them. Even Tugger admitted to me that it was getting kind of creepy. As if on cue, loud and funky music filled the tribe.

"Well," Tugger groaned as he stood up. "I guess that's my cue."
