"There, yo... Another one, be careful."
Cloud grinned like a small boy on sugar, picking up the newborn kitty on a hand as it mewled loudly in search for its mother. "No need to say that every time a kitten is born, Reno." He said placing the small being beside his already born sibling on a box papered with clean, fluffy towels.
The redhead grinned and wiped the sweat from his goggle-less forehead as Abby, their silver cat since the others were all given to the rest of their friends, started mewling loudly as to announce another small kitty that was on its way out. "Geez girl, how much more are in there?" He chuckled as the cat shot him a glare. "Sorry Abby, sorry... Go on, breathe, yo!"
The blond SOLDIER smiled tenderly at the small newborn kitties on the box as he cleaned them with another fluffy towel, carefully not to hurt them. "Sorry to disappoint you kit, but I'm not your mother." He chuckled as the older cat started sucking on his pinkie finger. Cloud carefully snatched his finger from the yellow cat's tiny mouth, turning his attention to the younger one.
"Yo, another one!" Reno chirped, clapping lightly as he saw the grown cat bite the placenta and starting to lick her kitty clean. "This one is so cute." He smiled, already seeing that its fur would be completely silver like its mother's.
"You also say that for every one of them." Cloud chuckled, watching as the grown cat laid still, breathing heavily but purring in contentment. "Congratulations, they're two boys and a beautiful baby girl." He smiled, picking up the small kitty.
"You sure made on hell of a mess, Abby." Reno smiled, scratching the cat's head affectionately "But well done, girl. Just, next time, try not to wake me so early in the morning, okay? Try to hold them until it's at least midday, yo." He joked, watching as Abby yawned and reached to lick her kitties.
"Hey Reno..." The blond called, still with the small cat in his large hand. "It seems like this one isn't breathing."
"What?" The Turk exclaimed, approaching Cloud's hand to his nose and seeing if he could feel a puff of warm air coming from the cat being blown against it. Nothing came. "Holy shit, it really isn't." He mumbled, picking up the kitty carefully. "Oh no..."
Cloud looked between Reno's broken expression to the kitty. "Isn't there any way to try and revive him? I mean, I know CPR..."
"That's it! God, I love you, yo!" Reno cried suddenly, kissing Cloud and turning back to the kitty in less than 2 seconds. "Laney once taught me how to make CPR on cats and dogs. Okay, here I go..." The blond blinked at scene and made a mental note to ask Reno why the hell the Turk had learned how to perform CPR on animals. Reno took a deep and calming breath before he opened the animal's mouth to see if there was something obstructing the way. Seeing that there was no impediment, the redhead lowered his mouth to the kitty's face and breathed two times, watching by the corner of his eye as the kitty's chest rose and fell. "I hope this will work, yo..." He muttered, turning the little kitty to its side and pressing its ribcage a few times before leaning and breathing again into the cat.
The blond SOLDIER watched with concern, holding his breath as he waited for a response coming from the little cat. Even Abby was quiet, watching as Reno tried to save her kit. "I saw something!" Cloud whispered suddenly as Reno pressed the ribcage again.
Both men waited and let out a laugh of relief as the small kitty mewled weakly, waving its fragile paws around in search for ground. "Welcome, little girl yo." The redhead grinned, turning the kitty and placing it besides its siblings. "And you're welcome." The man nodded at Abby that mewled in appreciation for his work. Cloud and Reno stayed quiet, smiling at the happy family right in front of them. "I so need to call Laney, yo! I bet she'll want one of the kitties but I'm too attached..."
Cloud chuckled. "Tell her that she can stay with one of the next batch." He said winking at Abby that seemed to understand what he had said and bit his knee gently.
Reno nodded and grinned, getting up and running to the kitchen, picking up his cell-phone on the way. "Laney, Laney, Laney, Laney!" He sang in the distance. "No, I'm not on drugs, yo! Abby gave birth this morning! Three: two boys and a girl!"
The blond man smiled listening to Reno's rants about his accomplishment before he turned his attention to the kitties and decided to lay them beside his mother so that they could be feed for the first time in their tiny lives. "Ya know what, Abby?" He muttered softly, petting the baby girl's silver fur gently as he remembered details of Reno's expressions during the labour.
He seemed so confident and tender, like if it was one of his own kids that were being born...
"I think you just woke my paternal feelings."
