Disclaimer: In no way do I own any of the cats from "Cats" the musical, all
of them belonging to the talented T. S. Eliot. The characters Chyna and
Cassie belong to me though. Stealing them will result in Macavity doing
evil and mean things, like the evil villain he is. Enjoy the story!
Chapter 8
Cassie soon slowed down and came to a stop when she reached the Junkyard with Misto.
"Hey, Cassie," Misto suggested, "Let's go play hide and seek with the kittens!"
Cassie moaned at the thought. "I'm sorry, Misto, but for some reason I'm really tired. I am going to lay down. You go ahead if you want to."
"Are you sure you're ok? You do look tired, come to think of it..." Misto asked as he helped Cassie to the oven so she could lay down and rest. She layed down with Mistoffelees right next to her. She put her head on his stomach, and Misto started to purr, putting Cassie into a deep sleep. Bombalrina saw the two cats and sauntered over.
"Hey, Misto! How have you been lately?" she purred.
"Good, but I am worried about Cassie." He glanced at her sleeping face.
"She feels sick and is very tired. I hope she is not getting ill."
Bomb glanced at Cassie. "Do you want me to get either Jenny or Jelly? They might be able to help."
Misto smiled at her. "Could you?" Bomb smiled back and slinked off to find Jenny or Jelly.
Demeter spotted Misto in the oven and smiled and waved. Then she ran off to show Mungojerrie the pearl earrings she stole from her owner. Some bad habits were starting to rub off on her from Mungo...
Rumpleteazer sneaked up on Cassie and Misto. "What's wrong with her?" She asked, sniffing at Cassie. She groaned and turned in her sleep.
"I don't know. Hopefully Jenny or Mom will be able to tell what it is." Misto worried. Rumpleteazer curled up next to Cassie and Misto. She and Misto chatted for a while until Pounival bounded up to Rumple and demanded that she play tag with him and the other kittens. She smiled her apologizes to Misto as she ran off with her future mate. Misto looked up as he heard Bomb, Jenny and his Mom approached him and Cassie.
"What seems to be the trouble?" Jenny smiled. She knew what was wrong with Cassie; she just liked playing along for Misto's sake. "Cassie? Can you hear me?" Cassie's eyes fluttered open. "Yeah...." She uttered groggily. She slowly sat up, with help from Misto. "Sorry to wake you, I just thought you would like to know that you are having kittens." Jenny, Jelly and Bomb all smirked and walked away, leaving Cassie and Misto in shock. Cassie then just meowed in happiness. Misto looked at her and beamed proudly. She yawned sleepily then layed back down on Misto and fell asleep again. He stroked her soft cheek, saying, "I love you, Cassie. You'll make a wonderful mother."
*****************************
Cassie woke up from her long nap, feeling plenty better. She wasn't so fatigued and the sick feeling she had had gone away. She looked out into the Junkyard and there was Misto, entertaining the kittens with his magic tricks. Jemima squealed in delight when Misto pulled a quarter out of her ear. Cassie laughed to herself. 'He'll make a great father.' She sighed, gazing at him. She then remembered about the Jellicle meeting tonight! She sighed as she picked herself up, and walked over to Misto.
"I am going home to tell Chyna about tonight. I will be back soon."
He nodded, with a worried look on his face. "Are you sure you will be ok?" She smiled and nodded. "I'm pregnant Misto, not made of glass. I will be fine!" She giggled her famous giggle that set Misto at ease.
He licked her nose. "Hurry back!" He called after her. As he watched her leave, Munkustrap came up behind him.
"Way to go big bro!" He said, giving Misto a cat nuggie. Misto blushed and then beamed at Munk.
"I am so happy right now, Munk. Just a few days ago I thought I would never see Cassie again, but here she is, and she's mothering my kittens. And it all happened in three days. I am so overwhelmed right now..." Misto trailed off, thinking about these past few days.
"You better get used to being overwhelmed. You're going to be a father!" Munk joked.
"Yeah, but I still can't wait!" Misto purred happily and smiled quietly to himself, as he imagined him and Cassie, raising their own family...
