(A/N: Once again, another story has undergone some serious editing. Yup, "Family Starters" is going to be different this time around. Now I'll get it started for you.)

Our story begins on a cool autumn day in the city of Petropolis. The bad guys have been locked up since yesterday, so they aren't causing mayhem, and this means that the T.U.F.F. agents have the day off. Now we should find out what Dudley and Kitty are up to! Let's go see 'em!

At Dudley and Kitty's house, Kitty hasn't been feeling too well, so she went to the vet to find out what was wrong. Dudley's at home, worried about Kitty.

"I hope she's okay." Dudley said to himself.

10 minutes later...

Kitty got back from the vet.

"Kitty, you're back! Did the vet find out what's wrong?" Dudley asked as he greeted his wife with a hug.

"The vet thinks I might be pregnant." Kitty replied.

"What does that mean?" Dudley asked.

"If I'm pregnant, it means I'm going to have a baby." Kitty explained.

"You're gonna have a baby?!" Dudley excitedly asked.

"I don't know. It takes several weeks to find out the results of a pregnancy test." Kitty said.

"Oh." said Dudley.

"Yeah, and it wasn't cheap, either. It cost over $90." Kitty said.

"A pregnancy test costs that much?! Kitty, you could give me that much money, and I can tell you you're not pregnant!" Dudley said.

"Oh boy..." Kitty sighed.

Several weeks later...

It was a cold December day, and the bad guys had been taken care of the previous day, so they couldn't go out and ruin everything. Naturally, the agents had today off! Okay, let's see how Dudley and Kitty are doing!

Kitty's at home, wrapping some Christmas presents. Dudley went to do some Christmas shopping earlier, and Kitty decided that with Dudley out of the house, she could wrap the things she got him for Christmas. Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Now who could that be?" Kitty asked as she answered the phone.

Well, the vet called with the results of the pregnancy test. Kitty was pregnant! She was elated to find that out! As soon as she got off the phone with the vet, she quickly called Dudley on his cell phone.

"Hello?" Dudley said as he answered his cell phone.

"Hi... Dad." Kitty said, putting emphasis on 'Dad'.

"What?!" Dudley asked, wondering if he heard correctly.

"Hi... Dad." Kitty repeated.

Now Dudley got it.

"Really?" he asked.

"Yes, Dudley! I'm pregnant!" Kitty told him.

Boy, was Dudley ever happy! He finished the shopping right away so he could spend the rest of the day with his wife.

Later that night...

"I can't believe I'm going to be a dad." Dudley said as he and Kitty got ready for bed.

"It's amazing, all right, but taking care of a baby is a big responsibility. Are you ready for that?" Kitty asked.

Dudley was totally irresponsible when he and Kitty were just partners and friends, but when they got married, he learned responsibility.

"Yes. Are you?" Dudley asked.

"I guess so..." Kitty replied.

And so ends the first chapter, and a good start to our story. Stay tuned for Chapter 2!
