A/N: Hey! Sorry I haven't updated but I have been really busy! Any way… Chapter 10 is here so Enjoy.
Gunther went and got the pet carrier and put a blanket inside before I put the kitten inside. Gunther and I put on our shoes before leaving out of the door and getting a taxi to the vets. The whole ride there I started to really worry. What if it's something serious and he needs surgery or medication? What if it's contagious and Asha and Fluffy get sick as well? What if he dies? All these questions came racing through my mind. The car finally pulled up and Gunther and I got out and walked into the vets.

Cece POV
Gunther and I stood silently as Betwinkler was examined. A few moments later the vet spoke.
"It looks like he's got an upper respiratory infection." The vet told us.
"What is that?" I asked not knowing what it was.
"It's a very contagious viral infection. He's going to need a course of antibiotics and kept away from any other cats."
"So is he going to be alright?" Gunther said sounding really worried.
"He should make a full recovery since you bought him in so early; if you had left it any longer then it could have been fatal." The vet said. "It would be best for him to be left here for tonight just to make sure and you can come to collect him in the morning." I nodded silently and Gunther took my hand. I stroked Betwinkler briefly before going back out to the reception. Gunther paid the vet fees before we went back outside and got a cab home.
As soon as we got through the door Tinka rushed up to us asking questions about Betwinkler. We told her what the vet had said before going to our bedroom. I put on one of Gunther's t-shirts before crawling into bed. Gunther turned off the light before climbing in next to me. I pressed myself against him and he wrapped his arms around me whilst stroking my hair. I felt lips on the top of my head just before I fell asleep.
The next morning I woke up really early. At first I tried going back to sleep but after a while I accepted that it wasn't going to happen. I climbed out of bed and slipped on a dressing gown before leaving the room. The apartment was really quite since everyone else was still asleep. I went into the living room and turned on the TV. About an hour later Gunther came in looking sleepy, he sat down next to me and I rested me head on his shoulder.
"What time can we go get betwinkler?" I asked.
"The vet said around ten." Gunther told me. I looked at the clock on the wall, it read 5:30. Only four and a half hours. I sighed and closed my eyes. I must have fallen asleep because when I opened them again it was 7:30 and my head was on Gunther's lap instead of his shoulder. I sat up slowly and looked at him. Gunther asked if I wanted any breakfast, I nodded and he got up, coming back a few minutes later holding two bowls of cereal. He handed one to me and I started eating.
The next two hours went really slowly as Gunther and I waited until we could go pick up Betwinkler. By half nine we were both agitated and decided to leave, even if we got there a bit early. We got in a cab and arrived at the vets fifteen minutes later. The lady in the reception had told us to sit down and that Betwinkler would be bought out in a few minutes. As we sat down I noticed that my hands were shaking. Gunther reached over and took my hands in his own, restricting them from shaking, I looked around and gave him a weak smile. A few seconds later a vet walked out holding a pet carrier that I recognised as Betwinkler's. She put him on a chair before turning to talk to us.
"He has been on fluids during the night and has brightened up considerably." The vet said and handed Gunther a small jar. "Those are antibiotics, he needs a quarter of a tablet with each meal for two weeks and also he needs to be kept isolated for a few days so that he doesn't pass the infection onto any other cats."
We thanked the vet and I picked up the pet carrier before walking outside with Gunther and going home. When we reached the apartment I took Betwinkler to our bedroom which was where he would be staying for the next few days and let him out. The little kitten slowly walked out and I picked him up to place him on his bed. Betwinkler curled up and fell asleep. A few moments later Gunther came in with a litter tray and two bowls. He put them down and then came to sit by me, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. I hugged my knees to my chest and leaned into him.
"Betwinkler will be alright Cece." Gunther said softly.
"I know." I said. "But I just hate seeing him ill."
"I hate seeing him like this as well." Gunther told me. I moved my arms so that I could wrap them around his waist and kissed his chest, burying my face there. We sat like that on the bedroom floor for a while until Gunther suggested that we go out for lunch. I agreed reluctantly, not wanting to leave Betwinkler. Tinka was in the living room and promised that she would look after the kitten. I thanked her before taking Gunther's hand and leaving. We got a taxi to the mall and went to the food court to get a burger. Gunther went and ordered as I sat down. Once Gunther and I had eaten we went over to the pet store. We picked up some more food and I chose a few kitten toys. Just as we were about to go over to the checkout Gunther spotted some little cat outfits. I tried to drag him away but he insisted in buying a bee costume for Betwinkler. I told Gunther that he was not to put it on until our kitten was fully recovered. He agreed and we finally went over to the checkout before leaving the mall and going back home.

Two weeks later.
Still Cece's POV
I was sitting on the bed with Gunther as he dressed Betwinkler in his bumble bee costume. Gunther pulled the hood up over the kittens' ears and Betwinkler turned to look at me. I had to admit that he did look really cute. I took out my phone and took a picture to send to Rocky. A few moments later Asha came bounding in wearing a baby pink gingham dress with matching caps. Tinka must have found the clothes section in the pet store as well. Asha jumped on the bed and began playing with her brother. Deciding to leave them too it, Gunther and I left the room and went to sit in the kitchen.
"Did I mention that we are going out tonight?" Gunther asked as we sat down.
"No! Where are we going?" I asked getting excited.
"On a triple date with Tinka, Ty, Rocky and Deuce at the signature at the 95th." He told me, I became even more excited. Rocky and I had always wanted to go there.
"Really? What time?"
"We are going at six." I looked at the clock and it read 4:55 meaning I had just over an hour to get ready. I shot up out of my seat and made my way to our bedroom. Grabbing a towel, I went into the bathroom and jumped into the shower. I came out fifteen minutes later and Gunther replaced me in the bathroom. I went into the closet and looked through my clothes before selecting a strapless pink dress with some black heels. I got dressed and went back into the bedroom to do my hair and makeup. I saw Gunther go into the closet and he came out a few minutes later wearing a black suit with a light pink shirt. I finished straightening my hair and Gunther started styling his. We were both ready by half five. Gunther and I went out into the living room where Tinka and Ty were waiting for us. W went outside and got a taxi to the restaurant. When we got there Rocky and Deuce were already waiting outside.
All of us went in and got seated. A waiter came over and took our drink orders, coming back a few minutes later holding a tray. Rocky, Tinka and I started a conversation as the guys began talking when we were waiting for our food. I noticed that Rocky was being a little quiet so I asked her what was wrong, she said that she didn't want to talk about it there so Tinka suggested that we went into the bathroom. We agreed and got up. When we got in the ladies room, I jumped up to sit next to the sink and Tinka sat down next to me. Rocky just stood in the middle of the room looking nervous.
"I'm pregnant." Rocky whispered so quietly that we could barely hear it.
"I'm sorry. I thought you just said you were pregnant." I said not knowing if I had heard her right.
"That's because I did." Rocky said.
"What are you going to do?" Tinka asked.
"I don't know. I really want to keep it, but I don't think that Deuce and I could handle being teen parents! I can't even find a way to tell him."
"You mean you haven't told Deuce yet?" I asked. Rocky shook her head. I jumped down and hugged her.
"Rocky, you really need to tell him." I said. She agreed and said that she would try tonight. We left the bathroom a few minutes later and just as we sat back down at our table the food arrived. We all ate quietly and once we had finished left the restaurant and made our way home.

Rocky POV
I was sitting in the bedroom waiting for Deuce to come in from the bathroom. A few moments later he finally came in and sat down on the bed.
"Deuce, there is something I need to tell you." I told my boyfriend, hanging my head and looking down at the bed.
"Shoot." Deuce said.
"I'm pregnant." I whispered. I noticed that the room had gone silent. I lifted my head to look at him, his mouth was parted slightly and he looked confused. "Deuce, please say something." I pleaded.
"I…..When did this happen? What are we going to do? I don't think I'm ready to be a father!" His words came all at once.
"That time we forgot to use protection I think. I'm not ready to be a mom either but I don't want to get rid of the baby." I said. Deuce didn't reply but simply wrapped his arms around me and said we would talk about it tomorrow.
