After doing what she had to do, Cassandra came back to the den and stood there all the time next to him. But days flew away and Mistoffelees didn't seem to get any better. His family would come into the room to stay there with her and to give her something to eat. They called Jellylorum several times but she always told them "You need to give him time to recover." But one morning, Mistoffelees slightly opened his brown chocolate eyes. He looked around and saw his room and sitting next to him was Cassandra sleeping with her head against the wall holding his left paw with her paws, Alonzo and Victoria sleeping next to the door and Bustopher sleeping under the window. Mistoffelees gave her a pat and said:

-Hey good looking.

Cassandra woke up and as soon as she saw him awake, gave him a big hug and shouted of happiness. The other three woke up and were amazed to see him awake. They all jumped on top of him, hugged him, tackled him, Victoria kissed his cheeks, and they were all crying of happiness inside.

-Bloody hell, Mistoffelees, we all thought you were going to leave us!- said Alonzo as he hugged his little brother again.

-Hey you're never gonna get rid of me so easily.- he joked.

-You sure are a soldier made of iron, my boy.-said a blind cat who came in the room.

-Coronel Slade?- asked Mistoffelees.

-No, it's Santa Claus. Of course it's me! My god not only you don't say "Hello" to your friends on the street and then you can't even recognize them after.- he answered.

-Uh?

-Let me explain to you. A couple of days ago when you were about to catch the bus you passed through me and you didn't even say "hello".- Coronel explained.

-Oh, sorry. I was a little bit frustrated.- he looked at Cassandra- But I'm not anymore.- and she smiled at him.

-I understand, I was just playing with you. AH! She told me everything. I must say I was surprised once I heard that you rescued her from Macavity's paws. What you did was a noble act that many cats wouldn't have the courage to do. Your parents would be proud of you and I am sure your family is as I am.

-We sure are.- said Bustopher.

-Thanks Coronel, but I only did what my heart told me to do.

-You're honest, I like that. Now if you'll excuse me I most go.- said Coronel.

-Where are you going my old friend?- asked Bustopher standing up.

-To the streets. You know I've never been domesticated.- Coronel gave Bustopher a gentle but firm pat on his shoulder.- See you later, my friend.

The four remaining cats got up to say goodbye to the Coronel but he shacked his head and said:

-I know you're doing it with a good intention, but I hate to say goodbye. Besides, I think we'll see each other very soon. Ah! – the Coronel started walking to the door. Bustopher told Alonzo to go and help Coronel.

-Thank you, Alonzo. Here take this.- and he gave Alonzo a picture of a red rose.

-What's this?- asked Alonzo.

-A bird told me that her favorite scent smells like red roses.- the Coronel whispered.

-Oh, thanks Coronel. I almost forgot!- whispered Alonzo smirking. And he walked the Coronel out of the den.

Mistoffelees' stomach began to rumble.

-Oh, I forgot I haven't eaten anything in the last couple of days.- Mistoffelees grabbed his stomach.

-Come. I'm going to prepare us your favorite fish for lunch.- she and Cassandra helped him to go to the kitchen.

-Is there any rice pudding left?- asked Bustopher.

-Yes, uncle.- she laughed- There's still a little bit for dessert.

-Perfect!- exclaimed Bustopher and all of them laughed.

Alonzo came in and sat with Mistoffelees and Bustopher, while Cassandra was helping Victoria preparing their lunch. During lunch, Mistoffelees ate 3 fishes and a rat all by himself until he was full.

-You're going to help me cleaning the table and the dishes, Alonzo.- said Victoria.

-Huh? Why me?!

-Because Mistoffelees probably wants to go out and catch some air with Cassandra and I can't handle this all by myself.

-But…

-No "buts" you're going to help me right now!- she yelled.

-Yes, do as your sister says Alonzo.- laughed Bustopher.

-Don't you laugh so hard because you're going to help me cleaning this too.

-Huh?!

-And don't you even start grumbling! Mistoffelees if you want you can go with Cassandra for a walk.- she smiled at her brother.

-Are you sure you don't want my help, sis?

-I don't need any more help. You two go on and have fun.

-Ok.- said Mistoffelees and he and Cassandra left the den hand in hand.

Once he got outside all they Jellicle cats were there to see him and tell him he was a hero and wish them a good life. They were really happy to see all their friends there and hugged them and talked and laughed for a good time.

-I wish you two the best wishes of happiness for the future.- said Old Deuteronomy.

-Thank you.- they said.

After a while they finally let the couple to go on their walk. They walked all the afternoon around the junkyard until sunset time, when Cassandra asked:

-Hey Mistoffelees, can we go to see that magical sunset now?

-Yes, I don't see why not.- he answered and they walked happily to the magical place he showed her on their first date.

When they got there, everything was perfect, just like the first time he showed her that place. They sat on the grass against the tree and stood there watching that beautiful sunset. Cassandra was sitting in front of him resting on his chest and he had his arms around her shoulders.

-It's so beautiful, isn't it?- she said.

-Not as beautiful as you are.- and he kissed her.

She turned around and grabbed his paw telling him to get up. He did so and they started walking around the lake.

-Honey I have something wonderful to tell you.- she seemed a little bit nervous.

-Why are you so nervous?

-Because I still can't believe it.- she giggled.

-Believe in what?- he seemed a little bit nervous too.

She stopped and grabbed his paws.

-Oh Mistoffelees, I'm pregnant!- she said.

-What?! Ahah!- and he hugged her and kissed her. He was so happy. –But how do you know?

-I talked with the twins and with Jellylorum and Jenny and they said that I am pregnant!

-We're gonna be parents?

-Yes!- she hugged him again.- Are you happy?

-Happy? I'm super happy! My Everlasting Cat! We need to go and tell the others! We need to build our new family den and a big one! Did the twins tell you how many kittens we're having?- he asked.

-I told them not to. I prefer to wait and see.

-Me too! Oh my god I'm so happy for us, Cassandra.- and they kissed each other again. They ran back to the junkyard and Mistoffelees yelled a big "WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!". Their hearts overflowed with joy. "In three months we'll be holding our kitten or kittens in our paws. I'm so happy right now." they thought at the same time.
