Disclaimer: I don't own CATS!
Hey people, tell me what you think! I love hearing from yall.
Lyplora rests her head against a soft fluffy pillow, holding her only male kitten, Donatello.
The tiny kitten nuzzles into his mother's fur, his tuxedo coat exactly like his fathers. He had just finished nursing, and now all he seems to want to do is snuggle deeply into her arms.
Lyplora gently licks his tiny head and ears, almost in awe of just how perfect he and his siblings are.
She meditates on this as she peers into the box where the other two are . The two little queens sleeping in the box are Demitri and Athena, Athena being the oldest, the brown and black mottled one who Jenny didn't think was deaf. The other was Demitri, named for Demeter, white with orange and black flecks, whit a little black bowtie like her father's.
The kittens are snuggling close together, fast asleep.
Lyplora watches as their sides rise and fall, the way they bat their little paws, their every subtle movement.
Suddenly, Lyplora notices that the door to the den is opening, sitting up a bit as she sees her mate entering the room.
Mistoffelees has a big goofy grin on his face, the silly, flustered look of a new but proud father.
He walks up to her and gets down on his knees, kissing her on the cheek as he gently pets his son's ears. It seems all he can door is admire them, his family, all he ever wanted. All his attention is focused on them, they're his focus, his dream.
But as he's about to sit down, his ears perk up and he turns his head as he hears someone knocking on the door. Lyplora looks at him questioningly and realizes he hears someone at the door, so she cranes her neck to look around him.
Misto holds up one paw and nods to Lyplora, and then walks back down the hallway to the front door.
Lyplora sighs as he does this, wishing they could be left alone for a little while, since the whole tribe was excited about the new kittens and wouldn't leave them alone.
She reflects on this as she waits for him to get back, gently stroking little Donatello, her thoughts wondering here and there, but always coming back to her mate and kittens.
Mistoffelees sticks his head around the corner, smiling broadling and winking, confusing Lyplora a little. And then he comes around the corner with a huge bouquet of flowers, smirking a little at his mate.
Lyplora is completely taken by surprise by this, as she brings a paw to her mouth in shock.
The flowers are red and white lillies, arranged in a small cobalt vase.
Misto sets them down on the table next to where Lyplora is sitting, having no idea who could have possibly sent them.
But Lyplora grins slyly as she looks at them, knowing that this is the closest she will ever get to an apology from a certain member of the tribe.
And as she turns her head and looks out the window, her smile grows even bigger, as she sees the red queen sneaking away.
