The Cold
By Robin Gurl
Chapter 2
(Sorry about not updating in forever!! )
Tugger sighed and watched the tiny kitten sleep. After they'd gotten his fever down, Quaxo had fallen asleep immediately in Tugger's arms. His tiny body heaved with each breath he took. Both small paws were wrapped around one of Tugger's big arms.
Tugger yawned sleepily looking over to Munk. He smiled. "Thanks again for helping me out."
"Tugger, there is no need for thanks." Munk replied handing Tugger a blanket.
"Yes, there is. You could have sent me away to let me care for Quaxo on my own." Tugger said. He shifted slightly making Quaxo murmur in his deep sleep. Tugger bent down and nuzzled the kitten's ears soothing the fur ball instantly. "He's so warm."
"Yes, but his fever has calmed down some." Munk had been so glad when Jenny had left saying that Quaxo would be fine with just a few days rest. Those first two hours had been hell.
Quaxo's fever had risen then dropped then had the nerve to rise again. But then, Munk had seen Tugger fret like a Queen for the first time. And he had to admit that was quite enjoyable. But this cold was not something to laugh about. Kitten's Quaxo's age died from colds like this. The other problem was that Quaxo was small for his age. He was tiny compared to the other male kittens.
But Jenny had reassured them that Quaxo would be fine in time. But still. Munk watched as Tugger cooed and nuzzled Quaxo. Quaxo's eyes opened and they stared feverishly up at Tugger. "Rummy?"
"Yeh?"
"You look so sad." Quaxo pointed out cocking his head innocently. Brown eyes were wide with confusion. "Why?"
Tugger smiled and caressed the Kitten's ears making him purr. "It's what parents do when they're worried, Quaxo." The Suave Tom laid down and curled up around the kitten. "Go back to sleep Quaxo. I won't leave you."
"Kay.."
Munk watched Tugger sleep for awhile then sleepily he walked over and covered his brother and Quaxo up. Then he to went back to sleep wondering what tommorrow was going to be like.
