Bombalurina decided to wait till morning to tell her sister and the kittens that she was pregnant, but had no idea when she would tell tugger. Truth be told she was horrified for his reaction. Would he mad? Would he want her to get rid of it ,or give it up for adoption after it's birth? She wanted to raise it more than anything, especially after watching Demeter with Jemima. But she wanted her and Tugger's relationship to work. What if he would want to stop being mates if she refused to get rid of the kitten? All these thoughts flooded through her brain, preventing her to sleep. She took a deep breath and cleared her head.
In the morning, Demeter sat on her bed grooming Jemima's head fur. The little red and black kitten just pouted and protested against it but Demeter only chuckled and continued to untangle the knots. Bomba entered the room and sat at the end of the bed.
"Hey" Bomba greeted casually looking amused at her niece's expression.
"Hey" Demeter replied , clearly distracted by her daughter's hygiene.
"I uh, need to you something."
Demeter looked at her and the gave Jemima's head one last lick.
"Go play." Demeter said softly and playfully swatted at Jemima's rear end as she jumped off the bed. Jemima giggled hysterically as she scampered into the living room. The two older
queens laughed at the wound up kitten but then quickly got down to business.
"So" Demeter started "what do you need to tell me?"
"Well..." Bomba began "I'm pregnant"
Demeter gasped "oh Bomby that's wonderful"
Bomba smiled "yeah" but then the smiled faded "I'm just not sure how tugger is gonna feel about it."
"Who cares what that douche bag thinks." Demeter retorted
"He's my mate!" Bomba cried, taken back by her sister's language.
" I know I'm sorry, but if he actually loves you he won't get mad."
A small smile formed on Bombalurina's lips as she looked down and nonchalantly played with a loose string on the quilt that coverd the bed.
"I mean, he is the father? You didn't sleep with another tom right?" Demeter asked catiously.
"No no it was tugger who got me pregnant don't worry" Bomba reassured.
Demeter nodded and gave a breath of relief.
"Does Jenny and Jelly know?" Demeter questioned.
"Jenny was the one who gave me the pregnancy test ,so she does, but I'm not sure if she told Jelly yet." Bomba replied "Ill announce it when we go out"
Demeter nodded. And they sat in silence for a couple minutes.
"You ready?" Demeter asked
Bomba nodded and they got up from there spots on the bed.
When they entered the living room, the kittens were being rounded up for breakfast.
"Bomby has an announcement" Demeter called out . She giggled because she knew her sister was rolling her eyes at her cheesy introduction.
Jellyorum looked up and her eyebrows rose smiling slightly ,while Jenny rested her elbow on the counter. A knowing smile played on her lips.
Bomba sighed. "I'm pregnant"
"Oh Bomba that's great" jelly cried throwing her arms around the red queen.
"What's pregnant mean?" Etcetera asked
"It means she going to have a kitten darling." Jellyorum said, answering her daughter.
Etcetera nodded and went back to her food.
Bomba spent the rest of the morning assisting with the kittens morning routine before they were allowed outside. She dreaded going outside, knowing tugger would be out there and Demeter would probably pressure her to tell him. But for some reason she knew everything would be fine.
