And again the sun was shining on her tabby fur. The last beams of the setting sun shone brighter than any other. Jenny lifted her chin to appreciate the warm blazing Light, of the late October. Her paws slipped gently to her lap, where a little bundle of gray fur, silent sleeping, breathing slowly, calmed her heart. The black rubber of the tire she´s sitting on, pours warm flashes up her body that made Jen very sleepy. The little fur bundle budged in her lap slightly and made her think of him crying all day long since his mother went off of the junkyard. Jenny was watching Munkustrap for Old Deuteronomy, who was out for his home where he couldn't show up with a kitten all of a sudden. It wasn't an inconvenience for her to watch him, she loves kittens and spares time with them whenever she could.

Except from these two no one other cat was seen on the junkyard. The silence made Jenny a little uncomfortable. At that very moment Alanata gave birth to her Kitten, she heard her silent painful screams just twenty five minutes ago. But since one kind of loud one nothing came out through the cardboard walls of the den. The questions which rang trough Jenny's mind were all around the new born kitten. At first: How will it looks like? Which gender will it has? Whats is its name? Just every day thoughts that spun trough her head since days, No, weeks. But in the end her head was engaged with cogitations of: Why doesn't it cry? What if it is ill or worse, dead ? How to handle Alanata and Ferro? Her eyes cracked wide open when she had in mind that her kitten could be born dead. She spun her head around as she heard a stepping sounds from the direction of the cardboard den. Jelly was standing there with a satisfied smile on her face. Moving her hand to wave Jenny down from the tire. That she can come in to see the newest member of the Jellicle Tribe. She grabbed Munk slowly under his arms to put him in a comforting wearing position; head and front paws over her shoulder and holding his body with her arms. Prudent she slipped down the Tire hoping to not wake Munkustrap.

In front of the entrance of the lair jenny gulped and breathed in slowly to prevent her from starting to cry for the happiness of these two. No, of this three. As soon as she had set eyes on them, her tears started to flow tardy. Ala was lying on a couple of clothes. Her fur shone a little drenched with sweat but it has almost dried off. Next to her was crouching Ferro. smiling as wide as Jenny never saw someone smile. His eyes were filled with elation, happiness and love. All eyes in the little room where locked to the same place. The arms of the of the pure white queen. A white and black patched kitten was faint moving; reaching out his little paws in the air; sniffling to keep the scent of it´s parents; not seeing anything with it´s closed eyes.

Jenny stepped a little closer to have a better look at the Kitten, while Munkustrap woke up steady giving a great yawning rubbing his eyes slowly turning to see where everyone were staring, but not realizing what it was.

"Jenny?" the silver kitten asked sleepy.

"Look Munkustrap, a new Kitten." she said while still staring at the black-white fur bundle.

"Can play wit' it?"

"No, Dear. It's still too young." turning her smiling face to Munkustrap.

"Awww" he said disappointing.

He started curiously reaching out a paw in the direction of the smaller kitten, trying to poke it.

"get big fast, too" Munk commanded.

Everyone giggled at that fist sentence to his future best friend.

The new life's name, everyone in the tribe made happy, was Alonzo. Even if he was just 2 hours old, every tom and queen was really cheerful.

Nearly any cat was back at the yard. Jenny brought Munkustrap back to Old D. He came back as fast as he could to care for his youngest son. The moon started to shine brightly and the the yard shone in its light too. She looked up to the pureness of its white tint and smiled prosperous. The night was a little freezing her fur stood a little up. That the winter is coming was just a minor excitement. She smiled wider with with the noises of happy chatting in her ear. On the way to Skimbles and hers den. But something stopped her in the middle of the way.

A sweet voice tingled in her ears some time, the small meowing grew expeditious stronger to a crying. It broke Jennys Heart while she was searching for the origin of that defenseless cry for help.

She lurked all over the junkyard when she remembered the broken basket from two days prior.

As she hesitated to the place she remembered the crying abruptly stopped. And with pointed ears she heard a silent sobbing but also some slow steps. She lurked around the huge pile of junk and saw the orange tabby kneeling down in front of the basket reaching out to a little brown and black tabby paw sticking out under a torn towel.

"Skimble, Love what you are doing here?" she asked while going near him

"Obviously same as you." he looked down at the paw in concern, after it backed up.

"So you heard it too?" Jen now standing next to him putting a paw at his shoulder.

"I smelt them." Skmible looked up to her, pointing at his nose. He was known for his incredibly great smelling sense. Trough every cat does smell as twice good as a human. But he nearly smelled as good as a Pollicle. Which is unusual for a cat.

"Them?" Jenny asked

"Yes, they are two" he putted the towel cautious aside and two kittens were curled up together both nearly the same markings the bigger one´s left back paw was white as the part around its mouth and eyes which made three circles put together over the nose. The less big one had a white tail tip, both front paws were white too and its face markings were more sharp. The rest of the kittens were black with auburn tabby stripes. But the most striking fact was that the kittens were different races. The smaller kitten was kind of a Burmese mix and the bigger one an European short hair.

Skimble covered them again and stood up still looking at the basket."I think we should talk to Deut about this" he bend down to pick up the basket taking it with one paw. He looked at Jenny and laid his arm around her shoulders. Walking slowly back to the yard both had not recognized that the crying stopped as Skimble began kneeling beside them, now sleeping in the tottering basket.

Since Alanata and Alonzo needed sleep every one now talked more silent but still happy in front, on and beside the big tire. Deuteronomy too, sat down there looking all over the other ones with a smile on his face. When Skimbleshanks and Jenny walked up to the tire at first no one noticed them but Deut.

"What is that ?" he asked in a worry tone and pointed at the big brown thing in Skimbles hands.

Slightly lifting the basket "Kittens, Sir. We fount them beside the fence on the ground of the junkyard"

Now everyone locked their eyes with the brown object. As it was laid down on the ground and Jenny kneeled down to uncover the kittens and taking one out in her arms while it was sleeping. It was the smaller one. She stepped forward up the tire and showed it Deut.

He laid one of his enormous paws on the head of the kitten. Patting it softly.

Skimble holding the bigger one in his arms standing in front of him now.

"We saw the basket two days ago the first time, and I smelt them but didn't anticipated it were kittens I thought it were just some old mats of an household who threw them away, but the scent wouldn't last that long so I went searched when jenny appeared there too because she heard some crying noises which were these kittens" Ferro looking at the two kittens merely older than his own son maybe 4 till 3 days since they opened their eyes. He looked down in sorrowfulness. He saw a piece of paper in the basket. Picked it up and read it.

"Are you sure they are abandoned?" Old D asked.

"I am not sure ,but two little kittens, alone three days in a basket. Yeas I think they are abandoned " Skimble said arrogant.

Little anger fluttered in old D about the young tom but he calmed himself down with a deep breathing.

"I mean if you got any evidences"

"well...u hmm..."

"Yes" Skimble´s stammering was interrupted from a calming baritone. Ferro was speaking pointing at the note in his paws."It's from their Father"

"Tell us Ferro" old D said

He nodded in obident and started to read out loud:

"The girl´s name is Alexera ant the boy´s is Canpepp. Myself is the father of these two Kittens. I can´t take them with me where have to go now. Their mothers both had no use for them . I know that this is the territory of the Jellicle tribe and I heard of your heartwarming Kindness. So please show this kindness to my kittens and take them in. I don't know what to do instead,

Thanks!"

Everyone was silent a little Moment.

"What to do now?" Jenny asked in a voice that was broken with sorrow.

"They both look kind of strong to me. And the time they do not need milk anymore is not far off"he turned his head in the direction of Ferro"could you please ask Ala to share alonzo´s milk with them?"

The gray black patched tom nodded.

"May they sleep anywhere else?" he asked

"I think they can sleep on thier own"

"But.." Jenny threw in the conversation"they are still so small" looking down at the little kitten and then to Skimble. He knew what she meant as their eyes met and nodded to her request.

"Sir" he began "they could sleep in our den till they are big enough."

Old Deutoronomy nodded "Then it is all settled to the satisfaction of everyone. I hope we all can welcome them with open arms." He smiled and waved everyone in their dens or to their homes.

But before Jenny, Skimble, Canpepp and Alexera went back to their lair the sneaked in by Alanata to show her the kittens, she welcomed them friendly and accepted to help them get big and strong soon.
