I looked at myself. I still didn't look too different. The only real big thing is a slight bump on my abdomen, and bag under my eyes. I wasn't really obvious, and hopefully, it will stay that way, because NOONE knew my little secret. Atleast, it's little now, but it will grow… I did a once over on my clothing, before I left for the meeting, where every single cat joins in the GreatRoom to talk about the upcoming festival. It was rare to have these meetings, and I was ondering why they were having one now, when, like, everyone knows the "Yearly Festival" is coming. I was wearing some tight, butt-hugging jeans, black and white Converse, and a (too) tight pink tube top that went to my butt, courtesy of Feather. How she got them is beyond me, but I have learned not to ask. I would have looked excellent if I had not ever-so slight bulge. It was almost unnoticeable, but me, it stuck out a mile. I frowned at the tube top and its tightness.
I met with Angel and Nudge outside of my room. They were giggling and talking to Total who had just flapped up.
"Hey girls!" I said, happily. They looked at me.
"Hi Max." Angel smiled. She ran to me and gave me a soft hug. Then she whispered to my belly, "Hi baby!" She giggled. Total's mouth dropped.
"Wait! Max, are you pregnant?" His voice was like a whisper. I nodded and pet him on the head.
"Are you still thinking about Akila? You know she's safe with my mom." I said, trying to get off of the "pregnant" subject.
"No! I know she's fine, are you…yah know?" He continued to question.
"I…I… am. I am puh-puh…" I still, after a whole week, I still couldn't say it. I was so… I don't know… It's tough trying to get your hormones straight. I walked away from a gaping Total, and went to Leaf's den. I slammed the door, into the stone wall and Leaf's furry head popped up.
"Oh! Max! Did you drink that potion? Did it help?" She smiled at me.
"No, it made me retch more. I am QUITE unsatisfied, and would LOVE to have a REFUND if I had paid you!" I screeched at her. She did not seem as mad as I had expected she would have been.
"Ah, you ah, blame me for your weak stomach? Of course." She said calmly. I glared at her. "Of course, you will be attending the Yearly Gathering, no?"
"Um do I have a choice?" I asked.
"No." I blinked. I thought so. I frowned at her. "It's in two days you know. You should help, along with your friends."
"Two days? Should I…"
"You should." She continued to sort and do stuff to herbs. She then dismissed me with a wave of her thin tail. I scoffed and then turned on my heel and stomped out of her room. I can't believe I have to get this ready for this party when I won't even like. I can't believe it. I continued to walk to the place that Fang was talking to Mountain.
