"Hallz. I need to tell you something." "I hope you will be happy with the news." Holly freezes in front of the water cooler. Ted miraculously produces another lit cigar. I choke but know I have to spit it out. It's like a giant furball and it has stifeled my breathing long enough.
"It's a baby." "I'm pregnant!" I sputter. Holly drops her cup and turns to me wide-eyed with mouth agape.
Ted nonchalantly tosses his cup into the trash bin and sucks on his stogie.
The moment seemed to last forever but in reality it lasted just a few seconds. Enough time for me to dig my claws into my sweaty palms and make them bleed.
Her face suddenly twists and moves. My cat eyes focus on the movement. Her cheeks move and then her eyes wrinkling in motion. They arch and stretch as my heart races. My worst fear is that Holly will be upset, even jealous of a new member joining are family.
My heart slows in realization as dimples form. I should have known better. The baby is an extension of me.
Holly jumps in excitement and throws her towel on the ground. Wildcat even chuckles "The truth shall set you free!"
"Yes. Yes. I suppose it does I say with a loud exhale of breath.
Images of my soon to be body came to mind as I thought of how Bruce may react.
I imagine me bloated, stretchmarked, drippy boobs and dirty diapers and my pulse quickened. I knew deep down that I still maintained my sinister wants....I dabbled daily in sin. I was a by-product of my past. I was born into keeping up with the Jones and my reformation as Catwoman fed my ego. My evil devices led me on the wrong path. I kneading men...not "needed them" they were putty in my kit gloves as Catwoman. I enjoyed my power. I loved to seduce, I lived to tempt, to tease. I was the seductress they had never dreamed of. I was master of my craft. It's sad to want attention but sadly I do. Would I be able to hold his? I snapped out of it with a "I can't wait to tell Karon!"
"Not yet Holly!" "For the babies sake." " Too many people want me dead!" I warned.
"Right now, you and Wildcat are the only ones who know."
Holly's glow faded. "What do you have planned then?"
"I haven't got that far yet." I admitted.
