Jellicle Yule
Chapter 1
The Junkyard was alive with excitement. It had been a month since Yule's return to the junkyard, and today was the day that JennyAnyDots new kitten was to be born, Tumblebrutus and Etcetera Jelly and Asparagus' new kittens were born only a week before. Though the kittens were born together they looked nothing alike and acted nothing alike. They like many of the other kittens took a shinning to Yule who often watched them while they're parents were busy.
It was what she was now doing; she was holding Etcetera in her arms while Tumble and Pouncival play wrestled in front of her. She was watching them all while Jellylorum helped Jenny deliver.
The little multi-creamed colour princess was sleeping peacefully in her arms while she sucked on her paw. Yule rocked her back and forth, she was sitting on the tire where she had perfect view of the junkyard if the two young toms would try and wonder off from her.
"Yule…when mommy be ok…?" came the hyper voice of Pouncival. Looking down at him, she smiled, "Anytime now Pouncival and when she's all better you have a new brother or sister"
Pouncival sat down and made a face, "Eck I don't want another sister…. I have two…that's enough" he scuffed.
Laughing, the Jellicle Queen smiled, "Now sisters aren't all that bad…But I can see what you mean, I'm the only Queen out of three brothers," she said with a nod.
"Three?…but tugga and Munk…that's only two…" Tumble tried to count on his paw.
Yule's eyes saddened for a moment, "Oh…yes you're right Tumble…only two" she said as she sighed. The other Jellicle's thought it would have been best that any known new born Jellicle would never know of Macavity since he was no longer apart of the tribe…it was the same when she was born and Grizabella was mentioned around her and the other kittens her age. To the tribe they were ghosts of the past except for those who knew them more personally then anyone else.
Both toms noticed the sad look in the Queens eyes but never said anything. Pouncival had been too young to remember who Macavity was.
"Yule? Yule mom had a young princess" came the cry of Demeter as she came running around the corner. The golden black queen stopped in front of the four. Pouncival groaned and sat down with a huff crossing his arms pouting.
Smiling, Yule stepped down from the tire placing down a now awake Etcetera who was poking Pouncival in the nose asking why he was pouting. Yule hugged her friend, "That's wonderful Demeter, you have a new sister…have they named her yet?"
Demeter nodded, "Yes they have…Father named her Electra"
"That's a beautiful name…is everything alright with Jenny?"
"Yes…Jelly is fixing her up right now…Father is proudly showing Electra off to the others"
Yule bounded around Demeter leaving her with the kittens, she was excited to see the new kitten. There was something about that that made her feel complete even if they were her own or no where near related to her she still loved to be with them and she knew this kitten was a new addition to her love. She rounded the final corner to Jenny's den and saw Skimble as he was proudly holding his new kitten in his arms for the other Jellicle's who had come to see.
She stopped beside Munkustrap to catch her breath. She looked at her brother and smiled before she crept over to Skimble and poked her head out from around him and looked down at the brownish kitten in his paws.
Skimble was shocked to see her suddenly poke out from around him and then chuckled, "Ah lassie I was wonder when you'd show up" he stated.
The Jellicle queen stepped out from around him and stood in front of him. "She's beautiful Skimble…Demeter told me you named her…I'm surprised Jenny allowed you"
Skimble nodded, "Last kitten she let me named was Mungo" he said looking over at his eldest son who was sitting along with Rumpleteazer and had the same expression Pouncival had when he was told he had another sister. Laughing, Yule held her paw out to the new kitten watching as it squirmed in the Railroad cat's arms. Its eyes were still closed.
"You know you hanging around kittens might be bad luck Yule you might end up with one of your own" came a chuckle behind her.
"Unlike you Tugger…I would love to have a kitten…I'd make a great mother" she said as she turned to look at him her paws on her hips.
Munkustrap choked, "Ooooh no…no sister of mine is having a kitten this young…you're still too young for a kitten" he said grabbing her and holding her close stroking her fur.
"Um 'Strap…please you're embarrassing me" she muttered pulling away from him. She fixed her fur and new collar her humans had given her when she returned. Of course they had locked her in the house with a promise of never leaving again but they soon gave in when she wouldn't stop whining to be let out.
The Jellicle Protector crossed his arms, "I don't care if I am…I want to get it through your head that you are too young to be considering having kittens…not to mention it won't be another two years before your mating dance you may choose then but only then" he said nodding his head.
"Yes mother" Yule muttered making Teazer and Jerrie who were close to her burst out in laughter.
"Don't worry 'Strap's I don't plan on having kittens until after my coming of age" Yule said before turning her attention back to the kitten in Skimble's paws.
The silver tabby sighed in relief.
Mistoffelees who had been listening felt faint, he knew if Yule ever had kittens early his head would be gone thanks to both Deuteronomy's sons. Standing he walked over and stood next to Yule and looked down at Electra.
"Isn't she precious Misto?" Yule cooed as the kitten was sucking on Yule's paw a little.
Mistoffelees nodded, "Yes she is" he said as Yule pulled away from the kitten. Skimble soon took his new daughter back inside the den where Jenny was waiting. The calico twins, Demeter and Pouncival who had now come, followed their father into the den to check on Jenny.
Jellylorum and Asparagus took Tumble and Etcetera and thanked Yule for watching them before making their own way to their den where Victoria was waiting for them.
"Yule do you want to come with me…I'm heading home now or will you come later on?" Munkustrap called over to her.
"I'm coming" she called back and looked at Misto she hugged and gave him a kiss. "I'll see you in the morning" she said before she ran to catch up with her brother and the both of them ventured on home.
Mistoffelees sat where he was watching them leave before a paw was waved in front of his face. He turned his head to look at the Maine Coon sitting beside him.
"You really like her don't you?" Tugger asked grinning.
Misto felt his face heat up and nodded, "Yes…" he whispered.
Tugger chuckled, "No need to worry Misto I'm not as protective as Munk is…But Misto if you do mate her one day…you're going to have to worry about us one day that if you hurt her we'll make you pay" he said patting the nervous tom on the back. Laughing he walked away wrapping his arm around Bombalurina's shoulder's as the two of them walked off to spend time together.
Misto gulped and sighed, "Better them, then facing Macavity," he said before making his way off to his own den.
Neither of the cats that had been there noticed the pair of lurking eyes that were watching them from the shadows which were followed by an eerie smirk.
