Chapter Eleven: The Haunting Past

_At the House_

Chance, Feral, and Jake was walking down the stairs of their newly furnished home. Grant, Cora, Titus and Niles were walking behind them. Chance had showed them the nursery. It has been three months ago since Chance had found out that she was having triplets. Grant, Titus, and Niles were very happy about the new arrivals coming. Everyone was, but Cora. She didn't even walk into the nursery. She stood outside of the room and looked in. This pissed Grant off. He could not believe that his wife was acting so childish about this.

All of them walked into the living room and sat down. Feral was talking to his brother who he has not seen in a long time. Grant was talking to Chance and Jake. Cora was not talking to anyone. She was setting in a chair that was beside both couches. Grant stood up with his wine glass in paw and cleared his throat.

"I would like to make a toast to my son. Who finally found someone that will love him no matter what and to my new son as well, and to my new daughter. Who is carrying are our new grandbabies." Grant looked at Cora. She looked away. They drank to the toast, and Chance drank her water. Grant sat down, but then Cora stood up. Everyone held their breath. They know that she was going to say something to would hurt Chance.

"I would like to make a toast as well." Cora held up her glass and said.

"To Chance Christian Christopher…." She took a drink of her wine. Grant looked at her.

"Feral…Honey her last name is Feral now. You know that. You have been bitching for months now about her marrying our son." Grant told his wife.

"I know that! But she has so many last names that it would take an hour just to say them all." Cora looked at Chance with an evil look. Then Chance realized that she know of her/his past. 'Oh No!' Chance thought to herself.

"What are you talking about mother?" Feral asked his mother.

"That little slut was never a Furlong. She is a nobody!" Cora laughed. Grant stood up and grabbed his wife's arm and sat her back down into the chair. Feral, Jake and Titus looked at Chance. Chance looked at them.

"Chance what is she talking about?" Jake asked her.

"She doesn't have to tell us if she doesn't want to!" Grant yelled out. He had just had enough of his wife's childish behavior.

"No…It's out in the open now. So I guess I have to." Chance stated.

"Chance you don't have to tell us if you don't want too. That's was they call it the past." Titus told her. Chance looked up at them and took a deep breath in and began to tell them about her past.

"I was found on the eastside bridge of MegaKat City." Grant looked up at the wall, and Cora looked up at her husband. Grant was in stock.

"I was taken to a Catholic Abbey were the mother superior took me in. They put me in a Catholic orphanage were I was adopted fifteen times. The Furlong was the last couple to adopt me." Chance explained her past to them. They all looked at her. Jake and Feral was stocked over this. Mainly Jake. He always thought that Chance was born into the Furlong family. He could not believe that Chance has hid this from him for so long.

"Chance. Why didn't you tell me this? This is not something to be ashamed of." Jake took Chance's paw. Everyone could see that Chance was crying.

"It is when no one wants. They took me back, a lot of them. Some just couldn't handle being parents, some took me in just for a check." The tears began to run down her cheeks.

"Chance honey, its okay there is nothing to be ashamed about that. If they could see you now they would beat themselves up for letting you go." Feral tried to cheer his wife up. Feral got up and walked over to her. He knelt beside her and rubbed his head against hers.

"I am ashamed because a couple of them beat me and some of the others….raped me." Chance started to cry a little hard remembering what they had done to her. Feral looked over at his mother and said.

"Are you happy now." He said in a hateful kind of way. Cora looked at him and smiled.

"Yes I am." Grant looked at his wife. Titus looked at his mother 'Damn how can she be so curly to her?' he thought. Just then the doorbell rang.

"Niles can you get that I don't want to miss this." Cora said waving her paw toured the door. Niles walked to the door calling her every name in the book under his breath.

"Chance…You mean to tell us that you were adopted every year and brought back just a few months later?" Titus asked her. Chance did not speak to him, but she nodded her head.

"Tell them the reset of it." Cora dammed. Jake looked at her and was about to tell her off when Chance interrupted him.

"When I got kick out of the Enforcers. Mr. Furlong burnt the adoption papers…he told me that I could kept me last name because I didn't have one. The only thing that was in the basket was my birth certificate, and it only had on it my first name, two middle names and my date of birth. That was it. I never wanted anyone to know that I was…." Chance stopped herself. She couldn't tell them all about the physical and the sexual abuse.

"Look I love you no matter what, and I don't care what your past was like. You're here with me right now that's all I care about and I would never hurt you in any way."Feral kissed her paw. Cora looked at him with a hateful look. Chance looked at him and smiled. Jake touched her leg and she looked at him.

"Yea and I don't care either. I still love you and I would never hurt you either." Chance felt happy again, but this feeling was not going to last long.

"Well I think that she is a bitch for not telling you. Tell me has the little slut found her daddy yet." Cora laughed at her.

"Yes she has." The all looked behind Cora. Cora turned around and saw the tom-kat that had said that. He looked a lot like Chance when he uses to be a tom-kat. The only difference was that this guy had green eyes and had a beard. (Think of Robert Down Jr. in Iron Man) Chance and Feral saw Mameha walked in and stand beside him. Chance smiled at her and she smiled back at Chance. Chance was happy that she was here. That they both were here.

"Hello father." Chance said in a weak voice.

"Hello sweetly." He said back. He walked over to her and wiped the tears from her face.

"Duke…Duke Daaé is your father?" Feral asked Chance not looking away from Duke.

"Yes he is." She answered her husband.

"Wait there is no way in hell that your father is the Duke Daaé. The Duke Daaé the Senator of the United Nations Duke Daaé?" Cora asked standing up.

"Yes." Duke smiled at her.

"I found my son a year after you kicked him out of the Enforcers.(Duke looked at Feral) We kept it a secret from a lot of people.(Duke looked back at everyone) See the woman who is Chance's mother, well she and I fell in love in London and we made Chance. But she was to be married to someone else, and so was I. But I didn't know about Chance until she had called me up one day and told me about him. She said that she left him in MegaKat City. Chance would have been sixteen at the time that she told me about him. I found him very quickly, but he was happy with his new family. I don't want to approach him and make things difficult on him. But after he was kicked out of the Enforcers and I heard about what Mr. Furlong had done to him. I knew then that I need to reconnect with me son." Duke explainned to everyone what had happened.

"So why all the secrecy?" Titus asked.

"There was some threats made against my life and if anyone knew that I had a son. They would try to hurt him or even Jake here just to get to me." Duke explained again.

"I'm sorry Jake I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't." Chance looked at Jake.

"Don't worry about it." Jake waved his hand in front of himself.

"So do you want to say anything else to my son or well daughter…Cora?" Duke looked at her. Cora didn't say a word she just sat back down into her chair and drank her wine.

"So Mameha…How do you know Duke?" Feral asked her. She looked at him and said.

"He is my danna." Mameha explained. Feral and Titus titled their heads.

"A what?" Titus asked her.

"A danna is her main client. Like her master in a way." Chance explained more clearly.

"So you since her to Okinawa, to what spy on us?" Feral asked Duke.

"In a way yes I did, but mainly to find out if my son was happy." Duke looked at Feral.

"Daughter." Chance corrected him.

"Whatever." Duke was still looking at Feral.

After a few hours everyone left but Duke and Mameha. Chance showed them the around the house and the nursery. Duke was happy that his son/ daughter was happy. Jake and Feral was in the kitchen talking over what they had just learned a few hours ago.

"I can't believe this." Jake said setting his wine glass down onto the kitchen table.

"I know. Our Chance has a father that is just as rich and well knew as the Queen of England herself." Feral was looking straight ahead.

"Yea and you are married to her and I'm in a relationship with her too." Jake and Feral looked at each other.

"I think we have done pretty good for ourselves." Feral stated.

"Yes we have." With that Feral and Jake clinked glass together and smiled.

Chapter Twelve: Three White Carnations

_At the House_

Chance was in the kitchen poring herself a glass of ice tea when Jake walked in. Chance was due anytime now. Jake walked over to her and hugged her from behind. Jake put his paws on Chance's stomach and smiled.

"I can't believe that is has been nine month already." Chance smiled and sat her glass down and put her paws onto his.

"I know. Any day now." Chance leaded back. Jake let go of her and walked over and got himself a bottle of water out of the refrigerator. He walked back over and stood beside Chance. Chance looked at Jake smiled kind of.

"What? What wrong?" Jake asked her. Chance looked kind of funny.

"Umm Jake…hand me my cell phone. I need to call someone right now." Jake handed Chance her cell phone. Chance strolled through it until she found the number that she was looking for. She pushed it and the person's phone began to ring.

"Moshi Moshi." Mameha answered her phone. Jake walked into the living room and turned on the tv. Jake was starting to miss working at the garage and the city hasn't really needed the swat kats for a while now. Which Jake was happy that it was quit. There was no way Chance could fly the TurboKat. 'Wait could she even fit into the pilot set?' Jake thought to himself. Mean while in the kitchen.

"Mameha what does labor feel like?" Chance asked her.

"Why?" She asked.

"Well let me put it this way, if I had military secretes…I'd talk."

"Show time! Get Jake to take you to the hospital, and we'll call Feral on our way and his father as well." Mameha told Chance what to do. Chance nodded and hung up the phone.

"Hey JAKE!" Chance yelled for Jake. Jake came running into the kitchen and looked at Chance.

"What!" He asked her.

"It's show time. Go get me bag and your keys." Chance told Jake what to do. Jake just looked at her.

"Show time…What are you talking…oh..Oh..OH."Jake finally got it and ran upstairs to get Chance's bag. Chance rolled eyes at him and stook her head. 'Really he didn't know what I was talking about.' Chance thought to herself. Chance walked to the door and waited on Jake. She saw Jake run back down the stairs with her bag. Jake opened the door for her and then they went to the hospital.

_At the Hospital_

They got to the hospital in record time, and there was Duke, Mameha and Grant waiting for them when they got there, but no Feral? Jake helped Chance out of the car and into the hospital. The nurses there took Chance to her room. Jake and the others had to wait until they got Chance into her room. The nurse came out and told them that they could come back there now. Jake and the others walked into Chance hospital room. They saw Chance in bed in pain.

"Uhh…please them me that someone has gotten a hold for Uly." Chance moaned out in pain.

"I've called his cell phone and it's turned off. I even called his office, but no one answered." Grant stated.

"Here Chance hold my paw, and when it hurt squeeze it." Jake told Chance giving her his paw. Chance looked at him smile.

"Please someone try to FIND MY HUSBAND!" Chance yelled out and squeezed Jake's paw. Jake's knees hit the floor. Now he was the one in pain.

"Ahhowl!" Jake yelp out. Grant and Duke tried hard not to laugh at him. But they know that that was going to happen.

"I'll go and look for him. Okay." Grant walked over to Chance and gave her a kiss on the head.

"Good and when he gets here…he can hold your paw. Can I have mine back now?" Jake asked her pointing to his paw.

"Oh sorry Jake." Chance let go of Jake's paw.

"Thank you." Jake held his paw into his other paw. Duke walked over to Chance and took her paw into his and rubbed it.

"Everything is going to right. Okay, Grant will find Feral and bring him here."

"I hope he does, because Dr. Woods was in here and she said that I was seven centimeters dilated." Chance looked up at her father.

"My gods! How long have you been in labor?" Duke asked her.

"Well I started to hurt around six this morning." Chance said looking away.

"WHAT?!" Jake yelled out.

"Chance sweetly its ten o'clock now." Duke told her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Jake asked.

"I thought it was false labor. So I was wrong so what." Chance answered him. Jake looked at her. Chance looked at him and smiled.

"I love you." She told him.

"Really." Jake looked at her. He knew that when she did this that it meant sorry kind of.

An hour later Grant and Feral ran into the room. Feral ran over to Chance's side and held her paw.

"Honey I'm so sorry. I was in a meeting." Feral explained where he was to her.

"I don't care I'm just glad you're here." Chance was crying.

"How far are you?" Feral asked her.

"She is at ten centimeters dilated." The nurses said walking into the room.

"Wow an hour ago you were at seven. (giggle) What way to dilated Chance." Jake said beside her. Chance looked up at him with an evil look.

"Okay who is staying and who is leaving?" Dr. Woods asked.

"Uly and Jake are staying, and I love y'all but get out." Feral and Jake looked at each other.

"Did they give her anything for the pain?" Feral asked Jake. Jake stocked his head no. Feral then realized why Chance was in so much pain and in a mood. Duke walked over and kissed his daughter and walked out. Mameha and Grant was right behind him.

Minutes had pasted by like they were hours to Chance. She was pushing and pushing. The only thing that she really could recall was pushing and Feral and Jake telling her that she was doing a good job. Soon one of the babies was out, then other and then other. Chance was happy that this was over and done with. She had never thought that give birth would be so hard on her. Then again she was pushing out three babies.

After the babies were born Jake had walked out and told Grant, Duke, and Mameha that the babies were here, but….

"What do you mean that Chance is not doing to good?" Duke asked Jake.

"The doctor said that pushing them out had really taken its toll on Chance. She said that…she may not make it." Jake said with tears running down his cheeks. Duke, Mameha, and Grant looked at each other. They were losing their Chance. Jake fell to his knees crying. Mameha knelt down beside him. Duke and Grant ran to Chance's room and saw Feral holding Chance's paw in his. Chance was pale. Grant and Duke knew what this meant. Chance was dying. Feral brought her paw to his lips and kissed it. Chance woke up and looked at Feral.

"Hey…Are the babies doing alright?" She asked him in a very weak almost whispered kind of voice.

"Yes their doing fine….Chance please don't leave me." Feral started to cry. Chance smiled at him and said.

"You take care of them and Jake. Okay." Feral nodded his head. Chance shot her eyes and the heart monitor when silent. Duke dropped to his knees wide eyed.

"I lose my baby again." He said looking at Chance's lifeless body. Grant lead up against the wall and he could feel the tears rolling down his face.

Feral stood up and looked at the love of his life. The nurse walked in and was about to cover Chance face with the sheet when Feral stopped her.

"Just let me say goodbye." He asked. She nodded and backed away.

Feral lead down and kissed Chance on the lips. As he did this a wave of true love washed over the land. Grant and Duke saw this happen right in front of them. Jake and Mameha could feel this wave of love and happiness wash over them. Feral lead up and wonder what has just happened.

Just then Chance opened her eyes and took a deep breath, and looked over at Feral. Feral smiled at her and lead down and kissed her again. Chance sat up in the bed and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You brought me back to life." Chance smiled at her husband.

"Yes I did." Feral smiled back. Jake ran into the room and saw that Chance was alright. He ran over to her and hugged her.

"Oh thank the gods that you are alright."

"No it was Uly who brought me back." Chance smiled at him.

"How?" Jake asked.

"True loves kiss can break any curse. It can even reverse death its self." They all looked over at Duke. Duke walked up to Chance and hugged her.

"He is your true love." Duke looked at his daughter and smiled at her.

_Later That Night_

Chance was holding one of her sons and Feral was holding the other. Jake was holding their sweet little girl. Grant and Duke was still in the room and was grateful that Chance was here with them.

"We need to think of some names for these kids." Grant spoke out. Chance looked at Feral and smiled.

"Well…how about Cristian for this little boy." Chance smiled down at the baby in her arms.

"And the girl can be…Claudia."Feral looked over at his little girl in Jake's arms.

"Jake what should this little guys name be?" Feral asked him. Jake looked up at Feral and then at Chance who smiled at him.

"What…No these are your all's kid not mine." Jake started.

"Jake you are going to be there to help raise them. So you do have a say. Besides Chance and I already had these two names picked out." Feral stated. Jake looked over at Chance.

"We wanted you to name him." She told him.

"Okay….Well how about…Victor." Jake said looking at them.

"Victor I like it." Feral smiled at him. Then they both looked at Chance who thought about it.

"Victor….mmmm. I love it." She smiled. Feral and Jake walked over and put the babies in Chance's lap and everyone smiled as the babies held each others paws.
