(Sunrise's P.O.V.)
Mousewing was right. I was silent and anticipated as I watched her battle that rat, and I was very, very impressed since she's small and in a different form, yet she performed her duty most excellently. She acted protective yet fierce for the baby, leaving no thought for herself until she won. She may received marks, but she bears them proudly.
That day was the most exhausting yet terrifying day for Linguini and Colette, and I was relieved to see no harm on little Geoffrey. Of course, Ego was informed, and he congratulated Mousewing for her victory, giving her a loyal friend in Ego. Remy was the most concerned for Mousewing, but when he saw that she was mostly okay, he was greatly relieved, that he was the nurse to her for many days, checking that injured paw until it healed. The big event was soon put away into the past, for there were great surprises in the near future.
You see, Remy and Mousewing became proud parents of a big litter of pups; literally sextuplets. That means 7 babies; 4 girls and 3 boys.
The firstborn pup is a boy, he has Mousewing's fur pattern, but he has Remy's blue-gray color. His paws are pale pinkish tan, and his tail has a dark gray tip. His eyes are stormy blue, and his name is Flint.
The second-born pup is a girl, she resembles Remy to a point yet she has Emile's dusty brown color. Her eyes are pale almond brown. Her name is Zurie.
The third-born pup is a boy, he has a reverse pattern of Mousewing's fur scheme yet he was said to resemble his late grandmother, Maria who had brown fur like Emile. His eyes are dark blue, and his name is Arnett.
The fourth, fifth, sixth pups are girls. Surprisingly, they are fraternal triplets. The first girl is a near-clone of Mousewing, with Django's grey eyes. Her name is Nicole. The second girl is a resemblance of Django with Remy's body type, with dark brown eyes. She is known as Maia. The final girl resembles Mouswing, but that's where it ends. All her fur is coal black, and her eyes are light blue. Her name is Nerissa.
The final pup, a son, is the youngest and smallest of the litter. Some call him a runt, but I don't believe that. He resembles Emile in a way, yet his fur is salt-white/black-peppered almost like he has been rained on. His eyes are bi-colored; his right one is dark blue while his left one is light brown. His name is Saffron.
Emile and Django was delighted to welcome the kids into the rat clan, and everybody else was happy. Linguini and Colette was awed of the big litter, and loved the names that Mousewing wrote down. Pups grow faster than humans respectively, so little Geoffrey was delighted to have little playmates to hang out with once the litter was given all the shots from the local vet like their parents did long ago. And for Ego, he was wondering very much of who will be the future chefs out of the litter.
He seems to favor Maia and Saffron since they took to take after their parents a lot in actions and behavior. I believe Saffron is the future chef Ego is looking for, with Maia perhaps as the co-chef as well. Who knows what will be becoming of the litter after all? Either way, Mousewing is very proud and happy. I am very happy for her. Lead your family into the future and their destinies, Mousewing. Good Luck.
