Chapter 4:
As a shadow figure walked the road making sure not to be seen. As it flipped the pages of that night's newspaper. Till his eyes gaze at a page as the picture of Lily and Daniel standing side by side with the annocuement of their wedding.
''So little Lily is marrying Daniel what ever did she see in him to make him take her away from me'' said the stranger angrily holding the cigar alight to the picture as it blew into flames.
As he toss the paper to the side as it burn into ashes then walked off. Then he thought if what their wedding wouldn't go perfectly. As a plan formed in his mind. Lily had returned to the saloon as she heard both Cat R Waul and Tanya yelling. ''Why did you let invite her to the wedding'' Cat R Waul shouted.
''Because Lily have a right to know it is their big day'' said Tanya. ''But Tillie invite the very creature that makes my nerves tick'' said Cat R Waul angrily. ''I had to'' said Tanya.
''Why'' asked Cat R Waul.
''If you knew you wouldn't understand'' said Tanya as Cat R Waul walking off. ''Did I do something wrong'' said Lily as she knew they were both talking about Miss Kitty as Lily had returned after sending the invite off.
''No Lily it doesn't matter now you need your rest tomorrow is your last day freedom'' said Tanya. ''Hmm'' said Lily. ''I know you are pregnant'' said Tanya as Lily blinked. How did she know. ''Did you know from Sabrina'' said Lily. ''No I knew the same way I did when I discover I was having Daniel'' said Tanya.
''Does Cat R Waul know'' asked Lily fearfully.
''No he is clueless the same way he was when I was expecting yet I wish that he did knew'' said Tanya as her mind was a far away place then she shook her head. ''Lily do you really want to marry Daniel in order to protect it'' said Tanya. ''Yes Tillie, we both want to our child I am carrying to have a father and mother when it is born'' said Lily as Tanya was proud by her.
''You know you remain me so much of myself doing so much for the price of love'' said Tanya as Lily felt confused. As she went up to the room her and Daniel shared since she guessed this was her home she will living in when her and Daniel were married.
As she sat on the bed when a brown flash of fur flew up happily to her. ''Oh Eveberto we have been home for a short time and you have been ignored already'' said Lily stroking him.
As Eveberto then a few minutes Lily fell onto the bed screaming in pain. ''Daniel come at once'' said Lily scared in case the child was coming right this moment.
As she heard the rushing of feet to her room as Daniel enter shortly followed by Tanya and Sabrina as they circled aorund the bed while the tiny squirrel was stun by the strange sight before.
As Lily was held in Daniel's arms. ''Daniel it is alright it was a false alarm I didn't mean to scare of all you like that'' said Lily.
''Well you have every right too Lily hun I swear if that baby was arriving tonight there will be a huge uproar about it'' said Sabrina as Lily lay there scared knowing at once who Sabrina was talking about.
''Oh please Sabrina father isn't like that I mean we all have our faults but I am sure he will be thrill to hear he is about to have a grandchild'' said Daniel. ''if you say so Daniel'' said Sabrina giving a sigh as they headed out the room leaving the two alone with Eveberto.
''Daniel do you think we should be getting married at all'' said Lily gently nuzzling him.
''What why did the doubt suddenly come into your head'' said Daniel. ''Well I was speaking with your mother earlier and Tillie has me thinking'' said Lily hearing a groan from him. ''Lily are you happy with me'' said Daniel looking her straight in the eyes. ''Yes I love the time we share together'' said Lily.
''And you feel no matter what the cost is we should be together'' said Daniel. ''Course'' said Lily.
''Then it is final nothing and no one is stopping htis wedding'' said Daniel as they embraced each other.
They heard a excited squeaking come from Eveberto which meant he agreed with the outcome of the two as well. He had stood by Lily through thick and thin when times were hard. The next morning in Green River a young female mouse was handed a letter in the post trying hard to read the big writing.
''To Miss Kitty hmm I wonder what it is I shouldn't pry it isn't any of my business'' said the mouse was Tanya's younger sister Yasha who was now grown up trailing up to the house where she lived with her family. Yasha felt in her heart the pass years something was missing but what as she couldn't remember was it a family member they once knew.
Must be was they sick or ill or lost Yasha couldn't figure it out as she arrived at the front door by an older mouse a handsome looking mouse in his youth. It was her older brother Fievel as he was speaking with another adult male mouse much older than him.
''Yes Tony I understand hello there Yasha what you do there'' said Fievel turning his attention to her. He was still the same with the red shirt, blue trousers and blue cap. Tony hadn't changed as well still the same features and clothing.
''It is a letter for Miss Kitty have any one of you seen her today'' asked Yasha dusting down her white dress.
''I remmeber the last she was with Tiger so I guess that is where you start'' said Tony shrugging his shoulders. ''Thanks I better be off'' said Yasha leaving the two as they went back to what they were talking about. Just as Tony had said the two cats were busy chattin away when Yasha came across them.
''Tiger do you ever thinkg there something out there that was once a part of us'' said Miss Kitty. Tiger only looked at her at this.
''But if it is lost then you might come across it sooner'' said Tiger. ''I expect so oh hello there what is that you have'' said Miss Kitty as they both peer down at Yasha.
''A letter for you'' said Yasha trying to hold it upwards since it was too heavy or her small size. ''Hmm let's see what it says'' said Miss Kitty opening the letter reading the letter.
''Well what you know one of that cat's family members is getting married and they want me and any guests I can bring with me'' said Miss Kitty as she saw Yasha got excited hearing the news of a wedding. ''Yasha I don't think it is a sort of event your family can come to since it is a cat wedding'' said Miss Kitty trying to explain it as best she could to her.
''But I am going aren't I and they are my friends I am sure this guy must be much times better than he was to them'' said Tiger as Miss Kitty gave a deep sigh. She knew when he said that she wouldn't go with him if his friends weren't going either.
''Oh right Yasha can you asked your family and Tony to pack everything you need for the place we heading to is much further from Green River'' said Miss Kitty as Yasha nodded heading off to tell all of them the good news.
Tony and Fievel were pleased and agreeable to it since they wanted to leave Green River to see what else lay outside their quiet home. But their parents were on the other hand spent most of the time discussing and disagreeing with each other on the subject. But seeing that the three younger mice were wanting to go meant they were outnumbered on that one decided to pack their things including a lunch Yasha and her mother prepare for everyone for the trip.
As they met up with Tiger and Miss Kitty as they rode on his back while Miss Kitty walked beside him as they reached Blue Mountain by the afternoon. That moment everyone was fussing around witht he finall wedding planning as some of the male cats met Lily.
She felt scared in case any of them suspect her of what she was thinking. ''Hey Lily were wondering if there weren't any mouse on the menu how about guinea pig their meat is tender it is like tasting chicken'' said one of them.
''No we made it clear no rodent type food just things like fish, bird or vegtables with some fruit that is all'' said Daniel coming up to her aid.
As they met Sabrina as she had clevery arranged white and pink liles on each tables. ''You like them I could put them away and get some fresh new flowers'' said Sabrina. ''No no it is lovely the thought Sabrina'' said Lily as a tear came to her eye. Tanya and Aillie who was also helping out with the music and everything.
''Don't worry everyone it will be a perfect day'' said Lily.
''Speaking of perfect are you guys suppose to be off with Daniel celebrating his last night'' said Aillie. ''Yes we should be going don't worry we wwill make sure to make it on time'' said Cat R Waul leading his son away. ''Good now they are gone we can have our own little party'' said Sabrina. ''Oh I love that sort of thing''s aid Aillie.
''Well Aillie it isn't the sort of party you are thinking of'' said Tanya as Aillie wondered what she meant. ''Should we tell her'' asked Sabrina.
''I wish she must it is right since both of you know I am expecting'' said Lily before she could finish Aillie hugged her tightly giggling.
''Hey Aillie hun leave her be we don't want anything happen during this peirod in time'' said Sabrina. ''Oh yes sorry well does Daniel know have you told him'' said Aillie excitedly.
''Course he was the first the know before they stepped off the boat'' said Tanya.
''Oh that means a baby shower oh how sweet'' said Aillie giggling which sounded she was in for it as the four female cats along with Eveberto went to Lily's room where a tea was being laid with a few presents two from Sabrina and Tanya.
''Now you rest Lily hun while we take care of everything'' said Sabrina as Lily sat in the middle with Tanya and Aillie. Later on Lily opened the presents. Sabrina was two bright outfits one blue, one pink. ''It is in case it is a boy or a girl so I got both to be on the safe side'' said Sabrina beaming. Next Lily opened Tanya's in it was a small rattle. ''Oh it is beautiful thank you Tillie'' said Lily hugged her. ''Your welcome Lily'' said Tanya. '
'I have something too if it is alright I don't want to be the odd one out'' said Aillie heading off then return with a small toy. ''I had since I was little I hope your children have more fun with it as I had'' said Aillie to her.
''Oh yes thank you'' said Lily as Aillie only beamed.
''So I bet you two will have a wonderful family how many children you htink you will have a full litter or one or two'' said Aillie. ''Now don't you go discussing the babies before they even arrive'' said Sabrina.
''No it is fine actually I am not too sure about the wedding'' said Lily.
''Oh come on Lily you and Daniel were made for each other you can't just give up right this moment'' said Aillie. Lily beamed then they heard Eveberto as they turned to face him as he climbed up Lily's arm.
''I think somone else wouldn't mind when the little ones arrive that means more time for him to play about with'' said Tanya stroking Eveberto's fur which he didn't mind. He admire this thought of little Daniels and Lilys playing with him on the carpet crawling about just only teething and pulling their own clothes their mother had sewn for them.
''Oddly enough it is strange but I feel it might be twins but how that be surely my stomach should had been a bit bigger for anyone to notice'' said Lily. ''Well maybe your figure is type that still looks slender while carrying more than one'' bluffed Tanya.
But really in her mind fearing that she had done something to make her daughter in law. Then suddenly Lily fainted then blacked out everyone was worried. Mostly Tanya she had to know before they came.
