Ready for another chapter of For the love of Pig? This will be the final chapter but don't worry, I am already starting on another short story and will continue to write short stories. Another thing, I am thinking of doing a longer Home story. If I do it will not focus on Tip and Oh (they won't be out of the story completely). Hope you enjoy!
Following the same path they took last night, Tip and Oh neared the alley. By then Heather had run a head, as if knowing where they were heading. Pig just rested on top of Oh's head. When they got there, they saw the dumpster still in place. This gave them a bit of relief. Though once they rounded to the back, they were surprised to see four little kittens staring up at them. Heather was calmly licking her paws when she noticed Tip and Oh. Like last night, she curled protectively around her kittens.
"Whyfor does she do that?" Oh asked just as Pig had woken up. Pig stretched then leaped down over to Heather.
"I don't know. Maybe she thinks we might hurt the kittens." Tip answered. She thought for a minute on how to get the kittens home, not wanting to risk being scratched.
Oh on the other hand thought they should just pick up the kittens and go home. He reached down to pick one up, when Heather suddenly hissed and swiped at his outstretched hand. He instantly pulled back, a ripple of yellow passing over his skin. "Whyfor did she do that!" He yelped. He looked at his hand, there wasn't a scratch but she had come close.
"I told you, she thinks we want to hurt the kittens." Tip looked over at Oh, also quickly looking at his hand for a scratch. "We'll need to convince Heather to at least move the kittens herself."
"And how are we to do that?" Oh asked now staring at the fluffed up cat.
"Follow me. Pig we're going home!" Tip shouted. Not waiting for the fat curly tailed cat, she and Oh left the alley.
"Ares we going home to get something?" A puzzled Oh asked. When they were quite a long way from the alley, Tip stopped.
"No." She answered calmly. She stood still as if waiting for something.
"Then Why are we to be going back home?" Oh asked, even more puzzled. As if answering for her, Pig came trotted up to them, carrying a black and white kitten. Heather soon followed, carrying an orange kitten. At first, when Heather saw Tip and Oh she froze and looked ready to sprint back with the kitten, but when Pig let Tip hold one of them, she relaxed a little. She still watched Tip like a hawk as she handled the tiny kitten. Tip set the little kitten down, and Pig picked it up again. Soon Pig and Heather were on their way home again.
"Ok, lets go back and get the rest Oh." Tip ran back to the alley, Oh following as close as he could. When they got their, they saw the two kittens left were sitting in the shadows of the dumpster. One was a brown tabby like it's mother and the other looked exactly like a mini version of Pig.
"Aw! It is a mini Pig cat!" Oh said petting the little kitten. Tip smiled then picked up the tabby kitten. Though he instantly leaped down and curled up on Oh's head. When he picked up the miniature version of Pig, it too leaped on to his head and curled up with it's sibling. Oh turned pink and gave the two kittens a light petting. "They are cute!" Oh looked at Tip, though trying to not disturb the kittens.
"Come on let's go." Tip said, smiling at the sight of two sleeping kittens on Oh's head. They walked home, Pig and Heather no where to be seen. When they walked through the door, they saw Pig sitting in Lucy's lap. She leaped up, forcing Pig to leap down.
"There you two are! That seemed like a pretty long walk." Lucy fused over the two of them. She froze seeing the two kittens on Oh's head. "Where did you find two kittens?"
"We'll explain later, but first. Where's Heather?" Tip asked, not seeing Heather or the other two kittens.
"I think she's outside the apartment. I saw her outside meowing." Lucy answered, slightly confused. "Why do you ask, Tip?"
This time Tip took her mother's hand. "I'll show you why." She half dragged her confused mother outside, Oh and Pig had followed. They found Heather in their alley, grooming the two other kittens. Lucy gasped in surprise. Heather, now assured that they meant no harm to her kittens, went over to Lucy, her kittens following. She meowed a few times and the two kittens of Oh's head woke up and ran to their mother. Lucy just stared at the four kittens surrounding Heather.
"We should head inside." Tip suggested, snapping her mother out of her daze.
"Yes, and then you can explain to me how you knew about the kittens." Lucy said. Tip, Oh, Lucy, Pig, Heather, and the kittens all went inside, to explain to Lucy about the kittens.
After recalling their adventure last night, Lucy and Tip were discussing what to do with the kittens. Heather and Pig were sleeping while Oh was playing their four kits.
"We could keep them. They wouldn't be too much trouble right?" Tip suggested. Lucy shook her head.
"But we can't take care of all of them. We should try to find homes for them." Lucy said. Tip was not willing to give up the kittens.
"Why don't we keeps one?" Oh asked. Tip and Lucy looked over at Oh.
"Yeah! Why don't we?" Tip looked at her mother, a pleading look in her eyes. Lucy looked at the four kittens, thinking about Oh and her daughter's proposition. She finally faced Tip again smiling.
"Yes we'll keep one of the kittens." Lucy announced. Tip gleefully ran over to Oh and picked up the calico kitten.
"And I think this is the one we should keep." Tip handed her mother the curly tailed kitten. Lucy Tucci smiled.
"Ok we'll keep this one. What should we call her?" Lucy asked Tip and Oh. Tip instantly answered first.
"Piglet. She looks exactly like Pig." Tip looked at Pig, who had stirred from his slumber at the mention of his name. They set her down and watched as Piglet began to play with pig's tail.
Sorry if the ending's cheesy, I really needed to finish the story soon since I was running out of ideas. But I will be writing a short story and a long one too, but the longer one will have a new character.
