Two weeks later...
Demeter finally was feeling well enough to invite some of the other tribe over. The first person she decided to invite over was her best friend Bombalurina. Bombalurina brought along Tugger. Even though Jellylorum and Jennydots didn't like that Tugger was in their midwife den. They allowed it. At this point Demeter and Munkustrap's kitten finally opened her eyes.
"Oh god! Her eyes are amazing!" Beamed Bombalurina whom was holding Jemima.
Demeter smiled at her best friend. "She gets it from Munkustrap."
Bombalurina smiled. "What's her name?" She asked Demeter.
Demeter sighed. "We haven't settle on a name quite yet. But we will make it official tonight after Munkustrap is done patrolling."
Bombalurina nodded. She turned and walked over to Rum Tum Tugger, Tugger was sitting at the table fiddling with the cup of tea that Jennydots had given him.
The scarlet queen smiled at her mate. "When will we have kittens Tugger?" She asked charmingly.
Tugger stop his fiddling with his cup and cocked his head at her. "Kittens? So soon?" The tom said trying to maintain his self-esteem.
Bombalurina giggle and snuggled Jemima. "Just think tugger. You, me, and our own little kittens running around our den?" Bombalurina gushed.
Tugger rolled his eyes. "Your kidding right?" He asked.
She shook her head. "Nope." She replied, then winked at her mate.
"Uhhh yeah ummmm, I'm guna head on home. I'll see you later babe." Tugger said quickly jumping out of his seat and giving Bombalurina a quick peck on the lips. When he left Demeter and Bombalurina began cracking up.
"He actually believed you?" Demeter asked laughing.
Bombalurina nodded. "He may be a stud, but god he's so naive." She replied. Bombalurina gave the kitten back to Demeter and sat down at the table. Demeter layed her daughter in the bed that the midwives made for her. A little white basket with pictures of tuna fish and flowers painted along the sides. Demeter walked over to her friend and sat down.
"Did you really mean any of those things you said to Tugger?" Demeter asked quietly.
Bombalurina sighed. "Well, I would love to have kittens,,,,, someday. But I don't think Tugger would be fit to be the father, I mean don't get me wrong. Tugger can be quite the gentlemen at times. But I'm positive he's not ready to take care of a kitten. I'd most likely doing all the work." She sighed and fluffed her head hair. "And I'm not ready to lose my figure quite yet. No offense Dem."
Demeter shrugged. "I'll have my figure back soon. For now my main focus is on my kitten." She said.
Bombalurina nodded. "I find it surprising you only had one." she said.
"I know, it's rare for cats to have only one kitten." Demeter agreed.
"When will you be able to leave the midwives den?" Bombalurina asked.
"A couple of days." Demeter replied.
Bombalurina and Demeter were interrupted by Munkustrap coming back from patrolling. He entered the room looking completely exhausted. He walked over to Demeter and leaned down kissing her gently on the forehead. Demeter smiled.
"Welcome back." Demeter said somewhat teasing him.
Munkustrap smiled. "Thank you." He said winking at her.
"Well, It must be getting late, I should probably return home." Bombalurina said rising from her chair.
Demeter got up from her chair to hug her best friend. "Alright, Come back soon." Demeter said as her and Bombalurina hugged.
"Of course, See you later." Bombalurina said exiting the den.
Munkustrap sighed and fell backwards onto the bed. Demeter crawled on top of her mate and nuzzled him, trying to encourage him for a kiss. Munkustrap stroked his mates face and gently kissed her lips.
Demeter pulled back and looked into the silver tom's eyes. "Hard day at work?" She asked brushing his headfur off his forehead.
Munkustrap sighed. "Nothing really happened. But it was very long." He replied.
"You have hug bags under your eyes, did you want to go to sleep?" Demeter asked running her hand down Munkustrap's chest.
He shook his head. "Not after we name the kitten." He said stubbornly.
Demeter nodded and got up off her mate's chest. She slowly and gently brought the kitten out of the basket and sat back down on the bed. Munkustrap gently pulled his mate against his chest and wrapped his arms around her. The kitten remained asleep in the little white blanket.
"Did you think of any names?" Demeter asked.
Munkustrap groaned. "No I didn't, I'm awful at names." He said disappointed with himself.
Demeter kissed him on his cheek. "It's fine, I've already thought of a name." She said trying to sooth her mate.
"And that would be?" He asked.
"Well I found some old book in one of the rooms and was looking through the pages when I spotted a name. But I don't think you would like it." She said.
"Tell me." Munkustrap demanded.
"Jemima?" Demeter said.
"Jemima?" Munkustrap said confused.
"It means dove." She replied.
"Hmmmm Jemima." Munkustrap said.
"If you don't like it we can change it." Demeter said quickly.
Munkustrap nuzzled Demeter. "No, I like it." He said to her.
Demeter smiled. "Alright then." She looked down at the kitten. She leaned down and kissed her daughter on top of her head. "Hello Jemima." She looked at Munkustrap. "I think daddy wants to hold you." Demeter said talking to Jemima.
Munkustrap bit his lip. "But Demeter."
But before Munkustrap could protest anymore, Demeter was already sliding Jemima into his arms. Munkustrap sat up straight and tightened his grip around his daughter. Demeter reached out and gently tugged on his arms.
"Not so tight." Demeter said instinctively.
Munkustrap nodded and looked down at Jemima. Demeter snuggled close and watched they're kitten.
"She looks like you when you sleep." Demeter whispered.
Munkustrap smiled. "She gets her beauty from her mother." Munkustrap said kissing Demeter. She laughed gently. Munkustrap leaned down and kissed Jemima on top of her head. Demeter gently took they're daughter from Munkustrap's arms and placed her in the basket. Demeter crawled into bed with her mate, she snuggled close and laid an arm lazily on his chest. Darkness surrounded them as they drifted to sleep. Unaware of the future that awaited them.
...
Back at the abandoned warehouse, the three henchcats sat there, waiting for what they're leader had planned on doing next. But as time continued on, the toms grew bored and were growing irritated with one another.
"Hey Reyes, Maybe if you would stop scratching those disgusting rashes on your body, maybe they would go away and we wouldn't have to deal with the disgusting image of you in our heads." Grunted Ivan.
Reyes growled and scratched another patch. "Maybe if you had brain in your head instead of muscle, the boss would probably treat you more as a contribute to the group instead of a body guard... maybe." Reyes finished with a smirk.
Ivan growled bearing his grotest yellow teeth. While Ivan and Reyes were at each other, Deimos sat ontop of a pile of boxes that were held in the warehouse for storage.
Deimos snickered. "You two are pathetic. I use to question myself as to why the boss made me his second in command. But now that I've had to pleasure of watching you two go at each other's throat all evening, I cannot bring myself to denied that the boss made me second in command is because you two are both unacceptably stupid."
Ivan out of rage grabbed one of the boxes and hurled it at Deimos. Leaping out of the way Deimos came down from the boxes and dusted himself off, receiving glares from Ivan and Reyes.
"For fucks sake, what's taking the bastard so long?" Roared Ivan as he slammed both of his fists on the ground.
Reyes pressed himself up against one of the boxes to scratch a huge patch on his back. "God damn these patches!" Screamed Reyes.
Deimos grimaced. "Maybe if you...STOPPED SCRATCHING THEY WOULD GO AWAY YOU IDIOT!" Deimos snapped.
"Fuck you!" Reyes spat!
Deimos smirked. "If I did that I would probably become infested with god know's what you have, and I'm not into that kind of stuff. Needless to say, I don't think you will ever get something that way, unless you do it by force." Deimos said.
Ivan snarled. "And who do you think you are? How many queens have you slept with?" Ivan asked clawing at one of the boxes.
Deimos lifted his head up, giving him a more gentlemen like look. "Oh ive been around. I never settled on a mate though, I tend to become bored easily when I'm with a queen, So ive pretty much given up on dating and focused more on little night time get togethers." Deimos said as a smiled crawled across his face.
"Good for nothing player." Reyes mumbled.
Deimos shook his head. "Insults wont cover jealousy." He replied then turned to Ivan. "And have you slept with any queen's Ivan?"
Ivan growled and looked away. "I did have a mate..." He paused.
Deimos smiled. "Let me guess she didn't satisfied you the way you wanted her to, so you grew tired of her and-"
"I was satisfied with her, but she wasn't satisfied with me..."Ivan said quietly. "She cheated on me." He said clenching his fists.
Deimos's smiled disappeared into a displeased frown. "So what did you do to the cheating whore?" He asked.
Ivan's eyes flashed with anger. Grabbing Deimos by the throat Ivan yanked Deimos close to his face. " I loved her!" Ivan spoke through his teeth. His body shook.
Before Ivan could continue Macavity slammed open the warehouse door. Ivan threw Deimos aside and walked over to Macavity.
"What's the plan boss?" Ivan asked as Macavity skulked by.
Reyes bit at a rash on his forearm. "Yeah, we've been lying around all day with nothing to do! Please tell me you have something for us in store." Reyes said not paying attention.
Macavity grabbed the top of Reyes headfur and pulled him off the ground. He hurled Reyes across the room and stomped over to where Reyes had landed. " Get up!" Macavity demanded and kicked Reyes in the stomach. Reyes quickly shot off the ground and ran up on top of one of the boxes so Macavity would not be able to do anything to him.
Deimos shrugged. "So boss, if we have nothing to do then why keep us in the warehouse?" Deimos asked.
Macavity turned to Deimos and smacked him with the back of his hand. Deimos stumbled over to an old couch and fell down. Macavity smirked at the sight of his second in command and sat down in his arm chair.
"You will not be in the warehouse as much as you are now, due to plan." Macavity stated.
"And that plan would be?" Ivan asked walking over to his leader and standing beside him, chest puffed out, shoulders straight, and head up.
Macavity grinned. "I want the three of you taking turns on keeping an eye on the Jellicles." Macavity said.
"What for?" Reyes spoke up.
Macavity growled. "They have something that belongs to me." He explained.
"Demeter." Deimos answered.
"Yes, and maybe something else." Macavity continued.
"What else could the Jellicles possibly have in your interest?" Ivan asked.
"A possible kitten." Macavity answered.
"Why are you so interested into finding out if you have offspring?" Deimos asked.
Ivan smirked. "At least someone is interested." Ivan said gesturing to Deimos.
Deimos rolled his eyes. "Oh well." He grumbled. Deimos had mated with several queens. But never did he sick around for long. Maybe he would once in a while return to a certain queen promising compassing in trade for a fun night. But of course, his promises would not be kept and he would be gone by sunrise.
Macavity smiled and crossed his hands. "If I have the kitten, they would have no choice but to give into everything I say. We can attack while they mourn the loss of their newest arrival. I know what kind of tom Munkustrap is. Weak when emotional. But first, I have a plan for the Jellicles already, And it's nothing to do with the kitten." Macavity finished.
"And that would be?" Ivan grunted.
"You'll see in time. For now, I want you all to keep and eye on the Jellicles, and look for potential new comers, to join us." Macavity ordered.
The henchcats nodded and left to do they're orders. Macavity sat alone in the dark warehouse. Thinking of all the possibilitys he could have if he got a hold of that kitten.
