Alonzo kicked at the dusty ground. Ugh. Why did this have to happen to him? Munkustrap was his only father he knew..Now he cant even spend time with him because of stupid cat nip. He kept seeing Munkustrap just fall onto his bed over and over with his face bright red with blood. The nasty scent of cat nip.. Suddenly he bumped something. It was soft and cuddly. He looked up. It was the beautiful Siamese

queen Cassandra.

" Uhh. Excuse me Cassandra..." Alonzo stuttered. He stared at her.. She was crying. Her normally blue eyes were red. " Oh.. Whats wrong? I didn't hit you that hard, did I?"

Cassandra shook her head " No..its nothing really."

Alonzo knew something was wrong " Come on Cassandra you can tell me.. What's wrong?"

Cassandra snuffed her nose " You promise not to tell nobody?"

Alonzo nodded " I promise."

The blue eyed queen sobbed " Im pregnant! And Coricopat is the father!"

Alonzo put one paw on her shoulder and rubbed her back gently. " Cassandra, it will be alright.. I'll be here for you."

Cassandra smiled " That's good... I just don't know how to tell anybody. Especially Old Deuteronomy or my own parents... I. I just don't know what to do Alonzo!"

The splotched tom purred " Oh Cassandra.. Are you and Coricopat...mates? What is his opinion on it?"

Cassandra grinned " He is happy. He loves me... I just dont know If I love him. Especially since, well Im having his kits." She shook her head " But what about you Alonzo? Hows your father, Munkustrap?"

Alonzo shrugged " I dont know.. I just dont want to see him in the state he is in. I just dont.. I've seen my mother die. I dont want to see my, Father die."

Cassandra stared at him knowingly " Alonzo. I know Munkustrap isnt your real father, But Macavity is. I have to see Macavity and his henchcats.. I want you to visit him with me.. With your siblings."

Alonzo blinked " I dont know Cass, I mean, Macavity is big shit around here. Wait.. How do you know that hes my father?"

Cassandra smiled with tears running down her face " I just do. I saw it. I saw Macavity do it, with your mother."

" Is that why you gave me and Misto filthy loooks?"

She nodded.

The black and white cat purred " Well. i guess we might as well go..

Mistofelees rolled on his back and glanced at Mungojerrie, his tiger striped body purred at the train hit the rail tracks every moment. Maybe he knew.

" Mungo, why did Skimbleshanks pick me instead of Alonzo?"

Mungojerrie blinked " Well, How am I supposed to know?"

Mistoffelees hissed " Well. I was just asking! You rat pussy!"

Mungojerrie giggled " I am sorry! I am just worried about Teazer!"

Rumpelteazer's ears perked up at the sound of her name " Whose talking about me? Just because I MIGHT be in heat means NOTHING! Besides.. Im not in heat! Im SICK!"

The tuxedo and tiger striped kittens backed away..

Alonzo held Victoria's paw as he and Cassandra walked into a dark alley.

They thought it was Macavity's sectret entrance so they moved a garbage can. It wasn't his entrace. But it was somebody they knew.

" Uncle Bustopher!"

"Go, Go away!" the fatso hissed..

" Why, why are you all scratched up? Why are you crying What HAPPENED!" Alonzo pleaded.

Cassandra cooed " Oh, BJ. You have to go to the Junkyard! Come on Alonzo, lets go back."

" What about Macavity?" Alonzo hissed.

" He is a Jellicle and your UNCLE! Come on we can do that another time!" Cassandra growled.

" Don't worry with me… its alright. I just got in a fight." He paused and murmured in a deep voice " With myself" He busted into a nervous laugh.

" What was that last part you said?" Alonzo asked

" Nothing. Just a funny voice." He laughed..

" Come on Bustopher, lets go. Jennyanydots will make you feel well." Cassandra petted his tuxedo coat.

The fat cat retreated and followed the kits back to the junkyard…
