(Ive kinda made Jellylorum sound bad in this chapter. But I will change that. I love Jellylorum. The only reason why she is like this is because thats how I wanted Etcetera's mother to be like.)
After that night, Etcetera and Admetus were now closer to each other. Etcetera couldn't be more happier. Admetus felt the same way. About two weeks later Etcetera decided to take Pouncivals advice and to visit her mother. As Etcetera got ready to go visit her mother, Admetus arrived home from patrolling. Etcetera welcomed him home with a hug and a kiss.
"Welcome home Addie. How was patrolling?" Etcetera Asked.
Admetus shrugged his shoulders. "It was alright." He replied.
Etcetera smile and kissed him again. She went into the bathroom to finished getting ready. Admetus stood in the doorway and watched her.
"Any particular reason why your getting dolled up?" Admetus teased.
Etcetera smiled and rolled her eyes at him. "I'm going to visit my mother Addie." Etcetera said. She picked up a brush and began to brush her head fur.
Admetus half smiled. "You really do miss your mother." He said.
Etcetera sigh. "Yes." She said as she pulled a knot out of her head fur.
Admetus walked up from behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. Etcetera continued to brush her tangle head fur. Admetus chuckled.
"Etcy I think your beatufiul enough." He said sweetly.
Etcetera smiled at Ademtus's compliment and set her brush down. She ran her fingers through her head fur making sure she had gotten all the knots. When she finished searching she picked up her lispstick and began to apply it to her lips. Admetus rested his chin on top of Etcetera's head. Etcetera put her lipstick down and turned around to kiss Admetus. She pressed her lips onto his. Admetus smiled while they kissed. Etcetera pulled back and looked at Admetus. He now had lipstick smeared on his lips. Etcetera bursted out in laughter and handed Admetus a tissue.
"Cettie you know I don't look good with that shade of lipstick." He joked as he dabbed the lipstick off. Etcetera chuckle at his joke and leaned in nuzzling him. Admetus gently sighed and smiled as he nuzzled her back.
"Addie I have to go." Etcetera whispered.
Admetus gently kissed her on her forhead. "Alright Cettie." He said.
Etcetera hugged him goodbye and left to visit Jellylorum.
She trotted down the path. She was in such a happy mood and bubbly mood. Nothing could change that. She began to whistle and continued on the path. It was beautiful out. The birds were singing. The sun was shining. The calm atmosphere put Etcetera's anxiety about visiting her mother to rest. Etcetera picked up her pace and trotted faster. She kept walking until she felt a little dizzy. She stopped and brought her hand up to the side of her head.
"Oh wow." She said trying to keep her balance. "Maybe I'm just dehiderated."
She came to a river and leaned down and sipped the water from the river. It worked. Her dizzyness began to fade away. Etcetera was pleased with the reasults. She sat up and whiped her mouth. Then she resumed walking on the path. A few minutes had passed and Etcetera was almost there. She was exited to see her mother and she began to ran. But soon the dizzyness came back. Etcetera almost lost her balance. She wobbled over to a nearby tree and clung on trying to keep her balance. Etcetera didn't know how serious her sudden dizzyness was until she got sick. She clutched her stomach and began experiencing the wrose stomach cramps she ever had. Etcetera wiped her mouth. She didn't want to visit her mother when she was sick. But she was so close and she missed her mother. When Etcetera began to feel a little better she continued on. About a couple of minutes later she arrived at her mother's den. She gently knocked on the door and waited patiently. The door flung open. Jellylorum's eyes grew big. She pulled her daughter in for a hug.
"Cettie! Oh sweetie It's you!" She cryed.
"Oh mother! I missed you." Etcetera said hugging her mother back.
Jellylorum pulled away and looked at her daughter. "Oh my, you've grown so much!" She exclaimed.
"Really? I dont feel any older." Etcetera said smiling.
Jellylorum pulled her daughter inside and called for Asparagus. "Gus deary! Cettie came to visit." She called out.
Asparagus was sitting on there couch watching tv. His feet up on the coffee table. When he saw his daughter he jumped up and ran to hug her.
"Oh my Cettie! How have you been?" Asparagus asked hugging his daughter tightly.
"Ive been great dad." Etcetera gasped out trying to get out of her fathers tight grip.
Asparagus laughed and released his daughter. Jellylorum smiled at Etcetera. "Cettie dear would you like somthing to eat?" Offered Jelly.
Admetus had already made breakfast for Etcetera already. But since she threw it up she agreed and followed her mother into the kitchen. Jellylorum started the stove and place a pot full of soup on the flames. She twisted a couple of knobs on the stove and reached for a wooden spoon. She placed the wooden spoon in the soup and slowly began to stir. Etcetera sat down at the kitchen table and watched her mother stir.
"So how have you and father been?" Etcetera asked trying to start a conversation.
"We've been wonderful. But we miss you and Pouncival so much." Jellylorum replied.
Etcetera knew she was going to say that. But she remebered Pouncival advice. Mother would have to understand that she is not a kitten anymore.
"Yeah, me and Pounce miss you too." Etcetera said.
Jellylorum smiled and cranked the knobs on the stove a couple more times, then resumed stiring the soup. When the soup was done she poured the soup in a bowl and served it to Etcetera. Etcetera grabbed a spoon and began to dig in.
"Thanks mother." Etcetera said as she began to eat.
Jellylorum smiled. "Your welcome dear." She said as she sat down across from her daughter.
"Anything new?" Etcetera asked still eating the soup.
Jellylorum shrugged. "Well me, Tantomile, and Jennydots have been busy with so many pregnant queens." Jelly said.
Etcetera shrugged her shoulders too. "Dosen't seem to surprising. The Jellicle ball wasen't too long ago." Etcetera said.
Jellylorum nodded. "I geuss your right. It is pretty predictable" Jellylorum agreed.
Etcetera remebered about her so called memory loss. She knew she had to ask her mother. And now was the chance to ask her.
"Mother, can I ask you something?" Etcetera asked looking down into the bowl of soup.
"Yes dear." Replied Jelly.
"What happened to me awhile ago?" Etcetera asked.
Jellylorum looked away. She didn't answer her daughter. She remain almost frozen. Like a statue. Finally she spoke up.
"I don't understand Cettie." Jellylourm said.
Etcetera had enough. She wanted to know the truth and she was getting tired of people not telling her what she wanted to know. He jumped up out of her seat.
"Mother! I know what happen! I know about Admetus, me being taking away by humans, Admetus saving me, me being hit by a car, you not approving of me and Admetus, and the memory loss." Etcetera cried.
Jellylorum sat there shocked. Etcetera had never gotten so angry before. Her daughter never raised her voice to her. Usually Etcetera was a very calm kitten. Beside her hyperness. But now here she was yelling. Sudden sadness spread across Jellylorums face.
"Cettie, I just wanted to keep you safe." She said softy.
Etcetera's eyes began to water. "So it is true." Etcetera said.
Jellylorum slowly got up out of her chair and walked over to her daughter. "Cettie dear, Admetus is the reason why you loss your memory. He's the reason why you are unhappy. He dosen't deserve you." Jelly said trying to pull her daughter in for a hug.
Etcetera couldn't believe what her mother was saying. She jumped back so Jellylorum couldn't hug her.
"No mother! Your wrong! I'm happy! Ive never been so happy in my life! You know that I wouldn't be alive and here if it werent for Admetus! He saved me! You just dont see that! Ademtus loves me! I will not be a kitten forever. You have to accept that I'm growing up!" Etcetera yelled coldly.
She walked out of the kitchen. She felt horrible yelling at her mother. But it was the only way to tell her mother how she felt. She had to tell her mother the truth. And now she knew. Etcetera stormed out of her mother and father's den and headed home.
I bet you guys are getting the hint about Etcetera being sick ;)
