((Thank you to those who have, and are starting to show interest in this Fic! Enjoy! Please Read and Review. Dealing with work, and the fic rotation process. I'm dating entries at the moment because it is easier to give a time perspective this way. Or at least that is my opinion. Once babies are born I'll stop using dates as much.
Thank You everyone for the wonderful name suggestions! I'm not disclosing the childrens names just yet.

October 8
"Hoshi!" Mahado ran after Hoshi, a 3-year-old Egyptian Mau, named for the single star like pattern on his forehead. He wanted to play with the cat, but apparently the cat had other plans. "Hoshi come back here!" Not that the cat was listening to the 5 year old as he ran towards the living room.
Mana was sitting on the floor in front of the TV petting one of the other cats, Bast. Bast was a 3-year-old Japanese Bobtail.
Mahado with out stretched hands ready to catch Hoshi, tripped over his sisters Barbie. "DAMN!"
Atemu opened the bathroom door, Hoshi ran in for shelter. "Silly kitty!" He picked up Hoshi, nuzzling the kitty.
Mahado glared at his sister. "You no leave Barbie on floor!"
Yami and Aurora had gone out for pet supplies. Yuugi for the most part was house bound. As long as he kept his activity low he wasn't confined to the bed. He came out of the kitchen to see what the commotion was about. Having heard a swear word. He already knew who had said it, but he still wanted a confession. "Alright who said damn?" They looked at each other, and then shook their heads. He put a hand on his hip. "Tell me now or the three of you get punished."
Mahado sat up, and tossed the Barbie at Mana. No point hiding it, and getting everyone in trouble. Because when that happened everyone got angry with the culprit. "I say Damn. I say it again, and again till she pick Barbie up!"
Yuugi's eyes widened, and he pointed to the kitchen. "Young Man, into the kitchen this instant!" Mahado did as told. He crossed his arms and looked at Mana. "You've been told about Barbie. Please, put her in your room, you may not have her out again till tomorrow."
"Barbie was next to me. His stupid fault for chasing kitty." Mana snatched up her Barbie. "I didn't do anything wrong." She stood up, tossed her head up, and marched out of the room. "I not coming out till Barbie can come out."
Atemu looked at his Mommy with wide innocent eyes. "I in potty whole time it happen. I no do anything… Promise. Just pet kitty. No force kitty." He put Hoshi down; the cat seemed content to stay at the boy's feet.
Yuugi sighed. He could deal with Mana after dealing with Mahado. He smiled looking down at Atemu. "Can you please feed Hoshi, Bast, and Yue?" Yue, meaning moon, named for her time of birth, was the daughter of Hoshi, and Bast.
Atemu picked up Hoshi. "Of course Mommy." He beamed.
Yuugi smiled, and ruffled his hair. "Thank You. Don't forget to wash your hands when you're finished."

Mahado leaned against the wall; he didn't look up with Yuugi walked back into the kitchen. "What's your problem?" Yuugi sighed, and crossed his arms. "We've stressed to you that you should not, and will not say those words.
"You say them." Mahado's eyes narrowed, but continued a down ward gaze. "Dad say them. Aurora say them."
"We are adults." Yuugi walked to cabinet and pulled out a can of peas, and a can of carrots. As a form of punishment you had to pick one of your least liked vegetables to have at dinner. The greater the offense the more scoops you got. You forfeited dessert if you didn't finish your vegetable.
Mahado sighed. "I'll eat damn peas at supper." He stormed out of the room.
Apparently a new punishment was going to have to be implemented. Yuugi sighed, and left the peas on the counter.
----
He was leaving the kitchen as the door opened. Yami was holding a small bag containing fish products, while Aurora had a large bag of cat food.
"You look flustered love?" Yami sat the bag on the catchall table.
"Mahado refuses to stop saying damn. Peas are on the counter. He's up to three spoon." Yuugi rubbed his temple. "Mana is in her room, and refuses to come out till Barbie can come out. Which by the way is tomorrow because she left Barbie on the floor." He sighed. "I need to go straighten her out. I was in the middle of fixing lunch when this started. Now, all I want is a nap."
Aurora sat the bag of cat food on the floor. "Yuugi you go take that nap." She smiled. "We can handle things from here. I'll take care of Mana. Yami you finish lunch."
"What about Atemu?" Yami was almost afraid to ask.
"He's feeding the kitties, and washing up." Yuugi yawned. "I'm sorry I not much help lately."
Aurora put a hand on her hip. "You're doing as you've been told." She giggled. "Enjoy being lazy while you can. Because when these two come we'll have our hands full."
"Especially if Mahado doesn't stop saying damn." Yuugi muttered, and walked down the hall.
Yami rubbed his stomach and smiled. He entered the kitchen to finish making lunch.

Aurora entered Mana's room to find her playing with Barbie. "If you say in here all day, you'll miss lunch and dinner."
Mana huffed. "No care. Not my fault brother trip over her. He was the one chasing kitty."
Aurora sat down next to Mana. She knew this child could be stubborn. "Proving a point is one thing, not eating is another. You've got other toys you can bring into the living room."
"So brother can trip again. I get blame again." Mana rolled her eyes. "I stay here play, no get trouble."
Aurora smiled inwardly. Time to play tricky. "Well, I guess if you won't come out to eat, then I guess you cannot come out to go to the park after lunch."
"Only if Barbie can come." Mana wasn't easily fooled.
Aurora sighed. "Lets pretend Barbie is on a sleep over. She'll be back tomorrow." She smiled.
"I guess I'll come out." Mana put her toys into her box.
Aurora stood up, and smiled. "Come one lets go help Daddy make lunch."
"Mommy was fixing lunch." Mana smiled. "Mommy okay?"
"Mommy's tired." Aurora giggled.
"We surprise Mommy with lunch in bed?" Mana suggested as they headed down the hall towards the kitchen.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea! Lets find your brothers." Aurora smiled.
Mana nodded. "I be happy when I have sisters."

(BAST A.k.a. BASTET) (BAHST or BAHS-tet; Female): Mother of all cats, embodiment of the warmth of sunshine, and goddess of the East, this deity in cat form was one of the most popular in all of Egypt. Cats of course were the most sacred of all animals to the Egyptians, but the black cat was particularly sacred to Bast. As a result, the physicians of the time would use the icon of a black cat in their healing practices. She was also considered the goddess of pleasures, which covered a lot of territory. Among many of the things that fell under her patronage were: generosity, music and dance, childbirth, protection against evil, frivolity, and sex. And this is by no means a complete list of all she covered. Not only was she the goddess of all cats, but of all animals in general! If this wasn't enough, she was also the goddess of fire and of the moon. Several temples were dedicated to her, and each was home to countless cats which were treated as literal incarnations of the goddess. It almost goes without saying that any cat beloved and honored by their caretaker would feel quite at ease should they be given this honorable name.
