Sorry for the lateness. Sinus infection is kicking my tail.

Thank you my Co-Author for helping with this.

Lisa backed out of Mark's embrace and away from his kiss, but only far enough to take a good look at him. She let her gaze roam from head to toe, taking in the sight of him in his new SWAT uniform and definitely liked what she saw.

From Lisa's point of view, Mark's uniform fit him almost like a second skin, molding around his muscles and into molding around his muscles and into every dip and valley on his muscular body. Her eyes slowly raked from his neck to his expansive chest, down to his abs and well-defined six-pack. Her eyes continued their amazing journey, traveling to take in his narrow waist and powerful thighs, not to mention the impressive bulge at the apex of those thighs. Lisa started to wonder if maybe Mark's uniform should have a sash or something to give that particular area a little more coverage. She licked her lips and said, "You know, honey, if you wear that out in public, you are going to have every she-cat, and some of the toms, in sight wanting to tear that uniform right off your body."

"They can look all they want, Lisa, but this body belongs to you and you alone. You are the only one who gets to see me naked, and no one else will get that pleasure," Mark replied with a smile on his face.

Lisa smiled back and proclaimed, "I'm going to hold you to that, Adonis. When this meeting is over, I am going to have the pleasure of peeling that off of you and making you purr."

"You can try all you want, Lisa, and I am sure that I will enjoy each and every attempt. I don't purr easily," Mark replied.

Felina shook her head to dispel the sudden image of Mark and Lisa in the throes of ecstasy. As much as she liked her new friends, she did not want to see them having sex.

Jake walked over to Felina, placed his arms on her shoulder, and asked, "Are you alright, love?"

Felina turned to him and replied, "I'm fine, Jake. I just didn't need the image of my friends doing certain things in my mind."

Jake could not help but chuckle at Felina, considering how aggressive she had been with him in the past. He guessed that the pregnancy was starting to affect her in a positive way. He leaned toward her and kissed her cheek.

Callie said, "I had better get back to your apartment, Felina. Leaving Chance and Ulysses alone might not have been a good idea."

"Why would you think that, Callie? Is it because Chance has been a thorn in his side for years?" Felina asked.

"Exactly. Ulysses may be in love with my grandmother, but that does not change the way he thinks about Chance. Who knows what has happened in that apartment since we left?" Callie exclaimed.

"I would not worry too much about that, Callie. He may have not been too happy with the way Chance has behaved in the past, but now they are going to be related, and uncle will have no choice but to get along with him," Felina replied.

"That may be true, 'Lina. However, I would still feel better knowing what was going on over there," Callie said.

Jake saw how concerned Callie was. He thought, 'Maybe leaving Chance alone in the apartment with Ulysses might not have been the best idea.' Then he remembered the security cameras he had installed in her apartment. He said, "If you are that concerned, we can see what is going on in the apartment right now."

Felina turned to him and asked, "And just how are you going to do that, dear?"

Jake turned and looked away from her before he said, "I sort of.. had cameras installed in the common areas of your apartment, once we started dating."

"You sort of WHAT! Why would you have cameras installed in MY apartment? Don't I get any privacy in my own apartment!?" Felina asked angrily.

Jake saw fire in her eyes, and instantly knew that he was in trouble. He answered, "I did it in order to make sure you were safe at all times, Felina. Dating me made you a target for several organizations that want Claw-Tek to fail, since not one of them can get past any of the security systems we have designed. You have no idea how many death threats I receive on a daily basis, and once I started receiving letters threatening you, I took action." Jake cautiously walked over to Felina and placed a paw on her cheek before he said, "I want you to have your space and your privacy, Felina, and I swear I have never recorded anything those cameras saw. They are wired to a computer that analyzes everything that crosses their field of vision. If the image does not match the body types of anyone of your friends or family, it sets off an alarm here, in the hangar and in the TurboKat. Callie has the same system installed in her apartment."

"I have cameras in my apartment also!? When were they installed? I never gave authorization for anyone to be in my apartment," Callie asked, obviously concerned.

"I had them installed when Chance was in the hospital, Callie. Both of you girls mean so much to us. All we wanted to do is to keep you both safe by any means necessary," Jake replied.

"You should have asked for permission, Jake, before installing the cameras," Callie said, then she asked, "Are you sure they can't record anything?"

"Positive, I designed the software myself, and it has no recording capabilities," Jake answered.

"That's good to know. I don't want a video showing what I do in my apartment on the weekends making its way onto the worldwide web," Callie said.

Mark turned to her and asked, "What would that be, Ms. Briggs?"

Callie sheepishly replied, "After I go and workout, I come home and watch silly romance movies in my nightwear. Unless I have a date or something; then I shower, and after a few of those movies, I get dressed to the nines in order to show off what I have worked so hard to maintain."

"I doubt you have to work that hard at all, Ms. Briggs, to keep that body of yours in top shape. I am also sure that your future husband keeps an eye on your figure for you, as well as most of the toms in the city," Mark said, before he received a light punch in the arm from Lisa. Mark looked down at his fiancée and said, "Except me. I only have eyes for Lisa."

Tina turned to Katerina and said, "He had better start carrying ketchup with him for the amount of times he places his foot in his mouth."

"Da, I hope his foot tastes good. Although, he looks so cute trying to get out of the messes that his mouth gets him into," Katerina said.

Mark turned to Tina and Katerina and said, "You know, I can hear you both quite clearly." He then flashed a toothy smile.

"We know that you can hear us, dear. We were actually counting on it!" Tina said.

Mark turned his head to Lisa and asked, "Can I get some support here, love?"

Lisa replied, "I think you are doing fine on your own." She looked over at the clock and saw that it was just past 3:30. She turned to Callie and asked, "Can you give me a ride to Ambrosia? I don't want to be any later than I am already."

"Sure, Lisa. Grab your uniform and I will drop you off," Callie replied. She then turned to Jake and said, "While I am out, I am going to stop at Felina's and check in on Chance. Knowing him, he is probably trying to hobble around her apartment." She then grabbed her purse and started walking towards the ladder, leading to the garage.

Jake had moved over to one of the computer consoles while Mark was removing his foot from his mouth, yet again, and Jake was now logging into the security system located in Felina's apartment. He started scanning the twenty images that were shown on the screen, looking for Chance. Then he located Chance's crutches in one of the images, followed by the broken end table. Jake turned quickly to Callie, and said to her before she started ascending the ladder back to the garage, "You were right about Chance attempting to get around by himself. I think he is lying on the floor somewhere between what was once an end table and the windows. I suggest that you drop Lisa off and get to Felina's as fast as you can."

Callie stopped in her tracks and walked back to the console Jake was sitting at. She looked at the monitor and saw the image of the broken end table, as well as Chance's crutches lying on the floor. She scrunched up her face, and then said, "That stubborn tom. I told him to stay put! Why can't he listen to anything anyone tells him?" She turned to Felina and asked, "Can you drop Lisa off, so I can go and make sure that Chance is alright, before I kill him?"

Felina laughed so hard at Callie's remarks that she doubled over, supporting her upper body by resting her paws on her knees. After she had calmed down enough to reply, she said, "I have been a very bad influence on you, Callie. I never thought that I would hear you say you want to kill someone, especially your future husband." She stood up, walked over to Callie, and placed her left arm around her shoulders before she said, "I can take Lisa over to Ambrosia, while you go and take care of Chance." Felina turned to Lisa and said, "Come on, Lisa. Your waitressing job awaits you."

Lisa kissed Mark one more time, placed her paws on her hips, and said, "You had better behave while I am gone, or there may be one less tom in this room getting married in the near future." She then turned and started walking towards the ladder.

Mark reached out with his right arm, grabbed Lisa's right arm, and pulled her to him before curling his body around her and hugging her tightly. Unable to resist, he lightened his hold just enough to bring one hand up and tilt her head at just the right angle so he could lean down and give her a passionate kiss. After about a minute, he pulled back from the kiss and said, "I will be on my best behavior, Lisa, until you return to me. Then all bets are off." He then flashed a toothy smile at her.

Lisa pushed herself away from Mark, placed her paws on her hips, and shifted her weight to her right hip. She just glared at Mark without saying a word.

Mark stood there, watching Lisa intently and waiting to see what she would do next.

Lisa, upon not getting the response she had expected, turned on her left foot and walked away without saying a word, her long hair flowing behind her.

Mark folded his arms over his chest, huffed, and then asked, "What did I do now?"

Jake, being the only other male in the room, knew exactly why Lisa was giving him the silent treatment. He turned and said to Mark, "Come and help me with the pre-flight check of the TurboKat 2, and I will explain." He led Mark down one of the corridors to the TurboKat 2's home.

Katerina spun Tina around so she could place her in a tight embrace before she said, "You think he will ever get it?"

Tina looked into Katerina's eyes and replied, "He's smart, but young. Once he is finally married to Lisa, she will ground him. I have no worries about their relationship at all. Their marriage is one of the ones that will last a lifetime."

Katerina leaned down and briefly kissed Tina before she said, "I'm glad to hear you say that, Tina. They obviously love each other, just as we do."

Tina turned her head, placed it on Katerina's chest, and closed her eyes. She listened to Katerina's heart beating in her chest, and smiled as her tail started swaying in time with Katerina's beating heart. She thought, 'This is where I belong, in her arms. Eventually, I hope to have a home, living with her forever as a married couple. '

Katerina held Tina in a tight embrace, rocking her ever so softly. She loved having Tina in her arms and holding her tight. She remembered how they had just met the day before, and somehow Tina fell in love with her. She thought as she rocked Tina, "I can't believe that I have fallen this far for someone in such a short time. Felix was my first love, and T-Bone will always be in my heart. However, holding Tina in my arms feels so right. I never thought about having another she-cat as a potential life mate before. I always thought that I would end up with a tom and eventually get divorced. Now that I have her in my life, I never want to let her go. I hope I don't mess this up. I don't think that I can live without her.'

Tina felt Katerina tense up for a brief second and then relax. She lifted her head in order to gaze at Katerina's beautiful face and asked, "You felt a little tense there. Is something troubling you, my love?"

"I'm sorry for worrying you, Tina," Katerina replied, and turned her head so Tina could not see her face. She then said, "Every one of my romantic relationships has ended in failure. First with Felix leaving without saying a word, and then my infatuation with T-Bone. I never even had a shot with him. I have fallen for you, Tina, and now that I have, I fear that one day you will leave me, too. I don't think I will be able to survive another rejection."

Tina heard Katerina loud and clear. She had no idea that Katerina had been treated so badly in the past. She reached out with her left paw, bringing Katerina's face around so they could see each others' expression. As soon as their eyes locked, she said, "Katerina, I have no intention of leaving you, ever. It was only a minute ago that I was thinking of how I belong with you, and about living out the rest of our days together as a married couple. Do you understand what I am telling you, Katerina? I love you, and I will love you forever. When the time is right, I want to marry you."

Callista heard Tina and Katerina proclaiming their love for each other, as well as Katerina's fears. She walked over to both of them and said, "Can I tell you both something? You'll have to keep it a secret, though?"

They both turned to face Callista, and Tina replied, "Yes, Callista, what is it?"

"I have seen both of your futures, and they share the same path. You are going to live together as a couple, and sometime soon, you will have a daughter that will love you both forever," Callista said, and then smiled.

Katerina started to tremble as she heard that they were going to have a daughter together. It was exactly what she had always dreamt of, settling down, having a family, living a normal life without bars of iron holding her back. She started to cry tears of happiness that streamed down her face. She turned to Tina and said, "Did you hear? We are going to have a daughter and be a family. I love you so much, Tina, and I can hardly wait to meet our future daughter."

Tina could not believe her ears. She had always thought that fortune telling was just a load of crap, but this was Callista telling them their future, not some carnival employee. She would never lie about something so serious. She had also thought that having a family of her own was a complete pipe dream, and would never be in her cards, and yet, Callista had just told them that was exactly what would happen. She asked, "How do you know that this is really going to happen?"

Callista replied, "Back in the spa, you both had a very similar dream. Something about both of you working in a garden, and a little kitten running into Katerina's arms holding a jar containing a butterfly. That was not a dream, but a glimpse into your future. I have only seen that happen in normal cats two or three times in my 500 years of existence. The couples who are able to share their thoughts on such an intimate level are known as soulmates, and are destined to be with each other. You both may have had rough love lives in the past. However, that is all over now. Both of you are going to be with each other for the rest of your lives."

"We are going to be parents, my ga-LOOP-ka! That is something I have always wanted! A kitten to call me Mommy!" Katerina said, as her tears continued to fall.

Tina could not deny that she also wanted to have a kitten to call her Mommy. She started to tear up, herself, and said to Katerina, "I want that, too, love. I want a family, a house, and everything that goes with it. Mostly, I want those things with you and you alone, Katerina."

Their vows having been spoken, happy tears spilled from their eyes as they held each other in an embrace so intense that no one would ever break them apart.

Callie knew she could not drive fast enough to Felina's apartment, so she improvised and tried to use her powers to teleport herself there. She concentrated as hard as she could, and gathered up every ounce of courage in her body to will the spell to work. She confidently waved her paw over her head and disappeared from the hangar, ending up in her own kitchen. She quickly looked around, and saw that she was in her own apartment, not Felina's. She said, "I guess I need more practice. At least I ended up next door to where I wanted to be, instead of in some sleazy bar or something." She ran out of her kitchen and through her front door, slamming the door behind her. Callie ran down the hall to Felina's and gave the door knob a quick turn, opening the door and heading towards the windows where Chance lay, waiting to be rescued. She found him lying on the floor, looking out the window. She asked, "Now why did you try to move on your own, and where is Ulysses?"

Chance looked over at his fiancée and replied, "I was bored out of my mind sitting there by myself. I wanted to at least look out of the window and see the city. I was faring quite well with the crutches, until I remembered you, dressed in that nurse's outfit. That was my downfall, literally. As for Ulysses, he said he had to take care of something and left. He should be back soon. By the way, did you know that there is a she-cat only gym in the building next door on the top floor?"

Callie crouched down, looked at the building that Chance had mentioned, and saw several shapely she-cats, dressed in very revealing leotards doing aerobic exercises. She quickly turned to Chance and asked, "You watched them work out?"

"I sort of didn't have a choice. It was either the gym or the ceiling, and as you can see by the angle I am lying at, the ceiling would have been rather painful. Now can you please help me up?" Chance replied.

Callie waved her paw, and the next thing Chance knew, he was sitting in his chair again. He said, "Thank you, love."

Callie was not about to let him off the hook just yet. She asked, "So, did you think any of those she-cats were beautiful?"

Chance felt the heat in the room increase by about ten degrees after she asked her question. He started sweating as he replied, "Not really, Callie. You are more beautiful than all of them."

"Not really? So you thought some of them were beautiful?" Callie asked.

Chance knew instantly that he was in hot water with her, and had no way out. He mentally kicked himself for even mentioning the gym. He replied, "To be honest, some of them had nice bodies, but I prefer looking at yours any day."

Callie decided to teach him not to look at other she-cats, period. She morphed her clothes into a leotard similar to what she saw the other she-cats wearing and said, "So, in order for you to keep your eyes on me and me alone, I have to wear an outfit like this? Does this make me look better than those she-cats next door?"

Chance watched as his fiancée's clothes turned into a much sexier version of the leotards that the she-cats had been wearing. Between being low-cut across her chest and very high-cut in the legs, it revealed a good amount of her body. He definitely liked what he saw, and his body responded, very favorably.

Callie's eyes never left Chance's for a second, and she noticed the change in the way that he was sitting. She liked knowing she had that effect on him. She started walking over to him, rather slowly, and placed a little more emphasis in her hips as she walked. As she reached him, she lifted her left leg so she could straddle his own legs and sit down in his lap. Callie draped her arms over his shoulders, placed her lips about a half an inch away from his, and said, "I will have to wear this more often, in order to keep you interested in me, and not the she-cats in the gym next door." She then kissed him and slipped her tongue in his mouth.

Chance returned her kiss and placed one paw on her lower back, and the other on her butt in order to bring her closer to him. He then let his right paw drift higher up her body to the straps that held the leotard in place, slicing through the material with his claws. Once the material started to fall away from her body, he brought his right paw to her left breast and cupped it.

Callie moaned into the kiss as she felt Chance caress her breast with his strong paw. She broke away from the kiss, arched her back, and let out a growl, while grinding her lower half against him. She removed her paws from his neck and placed them on his chest before baring her claws, burying them into his shirt and shredding it as they traveled down his body.

Chance felt his shirt being torn off his body, not that he was complaining at that particular moment. He ripped the rest of the leotard from Callie's body.

Callie felt like she was going to explode. Her body was so aroused from his touches and his caresses that if she didn't take a more aggressive approach, she would be done before he could finish. That was something she really didn't want to happen. She quickly undid his pants and slipped both paws inside to stroke him.

Chance groaned at her soft touch and said, "I so want you now, Callie."

Callie removed her paws, then helped him remove his pants, then made love to him right in Felina's living room.
