For all those who recently Favorited/Followed this story, thank you! Keep those reviews coming. I enjoy reading every one of them.
Kayla/ Kunoichi is going to be a large part of the team. Her character still has to be built up. But, expect her to shake things up, just a little to keep the team on edge.
Plus, Nancy's husband finally makes his debut! And yes, he's a very handsome white tiger! How he and Nancy met, is a whole other story, which will be told soon. Especially when their parents take over the Maternity's Waiting Room!
Sensei's eyes went wide in disbelief and rage at her student's declaration. She let go of the Shiroken in her pocket and strode over to where Kunoichi/Kayla was standing. "Are you out of your mind!? Do you have any idea, what could have happened, if he set off the bomb he is carrying!? I gave you a direct order to stay where you were, and you disobeyed me!?"
"Sensei, if I didn't act, he would have gotten away," Kayla answered.
"And I would have stoped him! You were told to stay put, for your own safety! All of the members of SWAT are highly trained to deal with situations like this! I'm fully prepared to risk my life, for any one of my comrades, or the city! Is that what you want!? To lay your own life on the line, for the sake of one of your brothers and sisters?"
"I do! I've seen how all of SWAT is a tight knit family and I want in! Felicia, I knew you were Sensei, from the first time I saw you on TV! Haven't you ever wondered why you have never seen my family? Why no one has ever come to see me, when I participated in a match? It's because I don't have one! My parents died when I was twelve! I've been bounced from Foster Home to Foster Home, until I aged out! I live in a Studio Apartment, completely alone! I have trained with some of the best Acrobats I have ever seen and you have taught me how to fight! I'm more than qualified to be a member of SWAT! I see you as the sister I've never had! Let me protect the city against jerks like this guy, with you, Sensei!"
Sensei relaxed and embraced Kayla, then said, "Are you sure about this, Kayla? T-Bone and Adonis were killed once already and Pirouette was shot. That is the type of life you are looking at, if you join."
Kayla embraced her back, and said, "Positive. I want to be like you, Felicia, including the hunky tomfriend."
Sensei smiled, then said, "You and I are going to get along, well, as long as you follow my orders, from now on. What's your Code Name?"
"its Kunoichi, Sensei" She answered.
"A Female Ninja, I like it, I hope, Havoc and Sniper will like it as well," Sensei said. She withdrew her phone from her gi, pushed a few buttons, and brought it up to her left ear, waiting for Katerina to answer.
Tina was walking towards the Triage Area, supporting a slightly taller tom as they slowly walked.
He glanced over to the exotic she-cat to his left, and couldn't deny, she was quite good looking. "Thank you sergeant, I wouldn't' have made it over here without you," he said.
"You don't have to thank me, I'm more than happy to help out," Tina said.
"But I do. Can I get your number so, when I get out fo the hospital, I can take you out on a date?" he asked.
She stopped, turned her head to the right, to look at the tom, then answered, "I don't think my fiancée will like that."
"You're engaged?" He asked.
Tina turned her head, to see Katerina, coming towards her. Her hips and tail snapping with every purposeful step she took. Tina let out a very light purr, then answered, "Yes I am, to her."
"You, are marring that exquisite she-cat? I can see why you fell for her. I'm happy for you," he said.
"Thank you, you have no idea, how long I've been waiting to find someone like her," Tina said.
Katerina stoped in front of them, turned her right leg out ever so slightly, then asked, "Do you need help, my dove?"
"I'm fine, Kat. The Triage Area is only another half-block over. Me and.." Tina turned her head to the right, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Its Jason," he kissed Tina's left cheek, then said, "I'll be fine from here. Thank you, beautiful. You two make a great couple." And limped away.
Tina blushed, while Katerina fumed. "You let a tom, kiss you?" Katerina asked.
"Its not like I asked him to, Kat!" Tina said.
Katerina's phone started ringing, she withdrew the device, and as she brought it to her right ear, she said, "This isn't over!" She turned her body to the right, then answered, "Da, is there a problem, Sensei?"
"I have something, or actually, someone you want to talk to," Sensei said, looking over to Kunoichi, who happened to be checking out her claws.
"I have your location. Sniper and I will be there shortly," Katerina said, then lowering her phone to her waist. "Felicia has someone we, apparently need to talk to." She latched onto Tina's left arm, pulling her along, and saying, "Let's get back to the conversation, we were having earlier."
"Do we have to? Its not like you haven't kissed Chance!" Tina said.
"Have you ever, thrown a Shiroken before, Kunoichi?" Sensei asked, twirling the razor sharp device on her right index finger.
"No, I haven't yet. But I've have a feeling, I will be soon," Kunoichi said.
Sensei passed the Shiroken to Kunoichi, who took it into her left paw. She brought it up to her face, seeing the different metals used to make the star, and said, "Sensei, this thing looks very sharp, how do keep from slicing your skin open, while carrying it?"
Sensei opened her gi, revealing her toned stomach, her black sports-bra, and several pockets made of Kevlar, sewn into the gi. "They are stored in these pockets, Kunoichi. And you're right about how sharp those Shirokens are. My father took one look at the one, Razor designed and decided he wanted nothing to do with it. My grandfather saw the potential the tiny star had. He and I came up with the formula for the base metal and composite used for the edges. This little thing, flies farther, holds its edge longer, and will embed itself into any material, known."
"Wow! Can I meet him?" Kunoichi asked, twirling the Shiroken between her fingers.
"Yes you can. I'm bringing James, Mitch, Juan, and Roland to my family home in two weeks. You can come as well. We girls can show the boys, we can work a forge as well as anyone. Now, hold the star between your index finger and your thumb. Take aim, and snap your wrist forward. Release the star most of the way through the travel,"
Kunoichi looked around for an appropriate target. She found a boarded up window on the building to her left. She turned her body to face her target, brought up her paw, aligning it with her cheek, then flicked her wrist, releasing the star.
The Shiroken flew through the air, barely making a sound as it sliced through the air, finally embedding itself in the wood, with a thud.
Kunoichi strode over to the board, brimming with pride at her accomplishment. She removed the Shiroken from the board, spun around on her left foot, and asked, "How was that, Sensei?"
"Hmm, not bad. You need more training, then you will be able to do this," Sensei said as she removed two more shirokens from her gi, she leaped into the air, performed a flip, and sent the two stars flying into the board.
The two stars hit the board, almost the same time.
Sensei landed on her feet, turned and bowed to Kunoichi.
"That was amazing!" Kunoichi said.
"Arigato, Kunoichi," Sensei said. She removed the two stars from the board, as she said, "I'm going to take on your training, personally. You thought I was hard on Nancy? Wait until you see, what I'm going to put you through. You, are going to train your tail off, then train some more. Within a year, I fully expect you to increase your rank, by six belts."
"Six!? You want me to become a tenth degree black-belt within a year!?" Kunoichi said.
"Yes, I do, and you will,". Sensei said.
"Uh, what hit me?" The tom said, rubbing the spot on his head where, Kunoichi kicked him.
She spun around to face him, then said, "That would be my foot. I suggest you stay there, unless you want to feel it again?"
He did stand up, letting his eyes wander over the two shapely she-cats in front of him.
"I thought I told you to stay where you were? Or are you deaf as well?" Kunoichi asked, brandishing the Shiroken in her left paw.
"I promise, I won't move an inch. As I press.." he reached for the detonator again, to set off the bomb. But when he didn't feel the backpack's weight on him, he said, "Where's my pack!?"
Sensei lifted the backpack from the ground with her right paw, then said, "You mean this? I took the liberty of removing it, so you didn't try anything stupid." She lowered the pack to the ground again, stood back up, and asked, "Why did you set off the bomb? The Pride Parade is a peaceful one, where those of the LGBT community, can be themselves."
"I don't have to answer you. You're not an Enforcer," he said.
"But we are," Tina said. She had her left arm locked around Katerina's right.
"What are you two supposed to be? A Crossdresser and a Cosplayer, dressed as Enforcers?"
"You really don't know when to shut up, do you?" Sensei said. "These two she-cats are some of my best friends, and Sergeants of the Enforcers."
"And before you say anything, that will make you sound even more dumber, we are engaged to marry," Tina said, before she kissed Katerina's cheek.
"Great, I get hauled in, by probably the only Lesbian couple on the force," he said as his tail hit the ground.
Katerina removed her arm from Tina and walked over to the tom. She grabbed his shirt, brought him up to her, very angry face, then said, "So what, if we love each other!? Her being gay, and me being Bi, has no effect on us being Enforcers!" She reached back to grab the Paw Cuffs from her belt, then felt a paw on her backside. She looked at the tom, with her steely gaze.
"If I'm going to be put in prison, I might as well have something to remember. Your ass is nice and tight!"
Katerina didn't think twice. She punched him in the face with her right paw, knocking him out again. "No one other than, Tina has the right to touch me there! Jerk!" She straightened out her uniform, turned on her heel to face the rest, then asked, "Is this the one, I have to talk to?"
"No. He's an added bonus. I want you both to meet, Kayla, AKA Kunoichi. The newest member of our little group. Kayla, meet, Katerina, AKA Havoc, and Tina AKA Sniper. Kayla is a fourth degree black belt in my dojo, and is just as nimble as Acrobat is," Sensei said, beaming with pride.
Tina went over to Kayla, placed her right arm around her shoulders, then said, "If, Sensei thinks you are worthy of being a member of SWAT, I'll go along with her decision and support you. Besides, I think you will look hot in your uniform, don't you think so too, Kat?"
Katerina was not thrilled, that Tina thought that Kayla would look hot in her uniform. She quickly fastened the paw cuffs around the unconscious tom's wrists, picked him up, throwing him over her right shoulder, and returning to stand on front of Tina. "You think, she'll look hot in her uniform, Tina?" She asked with distain.
"Oh come on Kat! Don't tell me, your jealous?" Tina asked, then laughed.
"You think its funny?" Katerina asked.
"I do!" Tina answered, and continued laughing. "My heart is yours, Kat. No matter how well Kayla's butt will look in her skin-tight uniform, I love you alone."
"So, now you are imaging what her butt will look like in her uniform!" She grabbed Tina with her left arm, threw her over her left shoulder, then said, "First; you let a tom kiss you, and now; you are thinking of another she-cat's butt! Once we drop this jerk off at the Precinct, I'm going to take you home, and teach you, why your eyes should only be on my tail!" Katerina started walking back up the alley, then stopped. She turned her head to the right, and said, "Welcome to the SWAT Kats, Kunoichi. You will fit in, very well. And leave the bomb there. The Bomb Squad will get it." She then continued walking.
Kayla was blushing, with the fact another she-cat thought she looked hot.
Sensei laughed, then said, "Don't worry about Tina, too much. She gets overly, flirty sometimes. Let's re-join the class, there are probably more patients that need attention."
The ambulances kept coming. The hospital's ER was running out of room, very quickly, which caused even more stress on Nancy. She looked at the chaos, which once was a well coordinated ER, and wanted to scream out of frustration.
Henry finished examining a tom, who arrived with two crushed legs. He had sent the tom to the OR, to have his left leg amputated and his right one repaired. Henry happened to catch a glimpse of Nancy and went over to her. "Are you alright? Do you need a break, Nancy?" He asked, being very concerned for her and the unborn fetus.
"I'm alright, I have to be. I have seventy patients in here, who are relying on me to get them the care they need," Nancy answered. He looked over to another doctor, who had just finished with her patient, and ordered, "Curtain 5, doctor! 42 year old, she-cat, multiple contusions to the upper body!"
The doctor briskly walked further into the ER, to see her new patient.
"Nancy, you've been at this for over five hours. Take a break," Henry said.
Just as Nancy was about to answer, another ambulance arrived. The doors to the ER opened and the EMT shouted, "Eighteen year old female! Twin protruding wounds to her chest and abdomen! Massive blood loss!"
"Trauma 1!" Nancy ordered. She turned to Henry, and before she could even say anything, he said, "I got this. Go and take a break, now!" He took off towards the Trauma unit.
Nancy went to stand up, but instantly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She sat back down, hoping the pain would stop. But when it didn't, she started to panic. "Someone page someone from OB!"
As soon as Henry's patient was transferred to the table, she went into Cardiac Arrest. Henry started CPR immediately. But with each compression, more blood shot from the wounds. The monitors emitted a long tone, signaling the patient had died. Henry stopped the compressions, closed the she-cat's eyes, removed the gloves he had on, and threw them across the unit. He hated giving up, and that's what he felt he did. "Time of death, 18:45"
"Doctor!" Another nurse said as she poked her head into the unit.
"What is it!?" Henry asked.
"Its Nancy." The nurse answered.
"Damn it! I told her to take a break!" Henry said, running out of the Trauma bay, returning to the ER's desk.
He found Nancy, laying on the floor, with several other nurses and residents surrounding her. "Give me some room," He ordered.
Henry fell to his knees right by Nancy's head. He looked down at her, then asked, "Where does it hurt, Nancy?"
"I think I'm having the kitten," she answered.
Henry was not about to let Nancy have the kitten in the ER. He lifted his head, then ordered, "Someone get a gurney and have my daughter paged!"
Daniella and her husband, Max were getting ready to be seated at an expensive restaurant on the upper east-side of the city. Daniella was dressed to the nines, in a semi-form fitting light gray dress that stopped just above the knees, her ever so light coating of make-up, made her look even more beautiful, especially to her husband, as well as other toms, then her matching heeled shoes, accentuated the curves of her long legs.
Max wasn't outshined by his wife. He looked handsome, dressed in a crisp white button down shirt, black tie, black slacks, and shoes. His graying temples made him look even more distinguished. He threaded his right arm though his wife's bare left arm, then said, "I know I said it earlier, but you look lovely tonight, Daniella."
She kissed his cheek, then said, "Thank you, Max. You look jut as good as the day we married. I'm glad Cheryl is working tonight."
"Why is that, my love?" Max asked, not being able to take his eyes off of his wife.
"I was out with my friends earlier, and I happened to stumble upon this tiny nighty, the same color of my eyes. I think you will like it on me, before it hits the floor," Daniella said.
Max grabbed her, pulling her into a tight embrace, then said, "Too bad, we can't have anymore kittens. I'd love another kitten, or two with you." And kissed her.
She kissed him back, then her phone started ringing in her clutch.
"Of all the rotten timing," Max said. "Hope its nothing urgent?"
"So do I," Daniella said, removing the device from her clutch. She brought it up to her ear, then answered, "This is Dr. Feldman."
"Sorry for bothering you, doctor. Your father requested you to come in."
"Why do I need to interrupt my Dinner Date with my husband?" She icily asked.
"Nurse Khan, thinks she's gone into labor. Your father stated, he wants the best OB he knows to deliver the kitten."
"I'll be there as soon as I can. Please make sure she's comfortable," Daniella said, disconnecting the call, returning the phone to her clutch.
"I guess I have to give you a ride to the hospital?" Max asked, disappointed their date was being derailed.
She kissed his cheek, then said, "This shouldn't take too long, and afterwards, we can stop by that little hole in the wall, we used to frequent when we were dating."
"I remember that place. The owner's son, could never stop looking at your tail. Frankly, I can't blame him. You used to wear those tight, short skirts, that really showed off your legs," he said.
"I had the legs to wear those skirts, back then," Daniella said.
Max brought her to him again, kissed her, then said, "You still do. When we are at home, I can't keep my eyes off of you, not even for a minute. You are still the gorgeous she-cat, I had my sights set on, since college."
She stroked his right cheek, making him let out a low-dull purr, then said, nice and quietly, "Your gorgeous wife, still likes to hear her husband purr, and tonight, you and I will be purring, quite often. Hope you eat decently? You're going to need every ounce of energy you have to keep up with me." She turned and started walking back to the lot, with a sway in her hips, Max defiantly couldn't ignore.
"Can someone call my husband!?" Nancy asked, as she was wheeled further into the Maternity Ward.
"One of the Admins already did, he's on his way, Nancy," Henry said. He was deeply concerned about her condition. He knew she was only six months into her pregnancy, and giving birth to a kitten, that pre-mature was going to be very difficult, for everyone. He took one look at her large belly, and thought, 'This kitten in either, huge, or there are multiples? Either way, I'm glad my daughter will be performing the delivery. I don't want to be the one to tell her, their kitten has to be sent to the NICU, or worse.' "Where is that daughter of mine!?"
"Grandpa!" Cheryl shouted from down the hall.
Henry let some of his worry slide, since Cheryl was one of the better Pediatricians in the city.
Cheryl stopped to the left of her grandfather, took Nancy's left paw in hers, smiled, then said, "My mom's almost here. Then, we can get this little one born, and into the arms of its parents." Cheryl grasped her grandfather's left paw with her right one, She gave it an affectionate squeeze, then said, "I'll stay with her, why don't you go and wait for her husband, grandpa?"
"Is the Chief of Staff, being dismissed by his Resident, granddaughter?" Henry asked, with a smile on his face.
"I'll only be a Resident for another few weeks, grandpa, and yes! I'm dismissing you!" Cheryl said, as her tail's fur bristled out.
Henry took his paw back from his granddaughter, then said, "You're too much like your mother. I'll go and wait for her husband." He turned his head back to Nancy, then said, "You and the kitten will be in the best of care, with my daughter, and granddaughter watching over you." He quickly kissed Nancy's forehead, then left to wait for her husband.
"Does Henry usually kiss his co-workers?" Nancy asked Cheryl.
"Not that I know of. He must really like you. Let's get you set up in one of the Birthing Rooms, then I'll tell you a few embarrassing stories about my mom, as long as you don't tell her who you heard them from," Cheryl said with a smile on her face, and her tail wagging.
Nancy smiled back, then said, "You're family is one of a kind."
"That we are. Every so slightly dysfunctional, but we care for each other, deeply," Cheryl said, then wheeled her into an open Birthing Room.
Max and Daniella arrived at the hospital's Parking Lot. He parked their car in her assigned spot and shut off the car. He turned to her, then asked, "Do you want me to wait for you in your office, or in the Maternity Waiting Room?"
"Where ever you feel more comfortable, Max. Actually, if you use my office, would you mind doing a little favor for me?" She asked, almost on a purr.
"Anything for you, my love," he answered with a smile.
"There's some literature I wrote for MegaKat High's Sex Education Class, you could look over for me. Its nothing too graphic, or at least I hope so. Thank you so much! I'll pay you back when we get home. Bye!" She said as she slipped out of the car, and ran as fast as she could in her heels towards the Hospital's entrance.
"That conniving she-cat!" Max said. He watched his wife run towards the hospital in the dress she was wearing, then said, "She can still light my fire after thirty years of marriage and behaves just like our daughter. Its no wonder I can't win when those two pair up against me."
A few minutes later, Daniella walked into the Birthing Room, dressed in a set of scrubs, where Nancy was set up. She opened the door and heard her daughter and Nancy laughing, hysterically. She opened the door, stepped inside, and asked, "What has you two, tickled pink?"
Both females looked at Daniella, then started laughing again.
Daniella went over to her daughter, pulled her into a sideways hug, then asked, "What did you tell her, Cheryl?"
"Me? What makes you think I told her something, mother?" She answered, then started giggling again.
Daniella turned her head to Nancy, then said, "As your doctor, I'm going to ask you, what did my daughter say?"
Nancy stopped laughing long enough to answer, "Friends don't snitch on friends, right Cheryl?"
"Right, Nancy!" Cheryl said. Then the two broke out in laughter again.
Daniella let Cheryl go and went to stand at the foot of the table. "Alright, you two had your fun, probably at my expense."
"Not at your expense, Dr. Feldman, more like Cheryl catching your husband, running though the house, apparently after you, completely naked!"
Daniella's head whipped around to face her daughter, then shockingly asked, "You told her that!?"
"Come on, mom! Don't tell me you and dad weren't both laughing after dad told you I caught him, sans clothing. I know you both were! So, don't get mad at me! I told her that to take her mind off of having the kitten," Cheryl said.
"And it worked, Daniella. I've known you and your husband since I started working here. Picturing the overly polite and proper Max, running naked, after his equally naked wife, made me forget, what I'm about to do," Nancy said.
Daniella rested on her haunches, then said, "Who said I was naked, at the time? I was close to it, but not naked. Anyhow, let me take a look and see how far you are, Nancy." She lifted Nancy's gown to examine her Cervix, then lowered it back, and said, "Not as far as I was hoping. How bad was the pain, Nancy?"
"Bad enough for me to be here, Daniella," Nancy said.
"This makes no sense," Daniella said. "If the pain was as bad as you stated, you should be further dilated than you are."
A contraction hit Nancy, hard. Her face contorted as she rode through the contraction. The Blood Pressure monitor she was hooked up to, showed a dangerous increase in her pressure.
"Mom, can't you do something, to relieve some of her pain?" Cheryl asked.
"Nancy, I know we discussed your choice, with not having any anesthesia. But in light of what's occurring, I want you to reconsider," Daniella said, laying her right paw on Nancy's right.
"I don't want anything to happen to the kitten, from the medications, Daniella," Nancy said.
"I respect that, Nancy. However, as your doctor, that last contraction, caused your Blood Pressure to skyrocket. I don't want anything to happen to you," Daniella said.
"Can I wait to decide, until my husband gets here?" Nancy asked.
"I guess. But, if your Blood Pressure rises to dangerous levels again, I'll be forced to act," Daniella said, sternly. She turned her body towards her daughter, then asked, "Can you get someone to bring in an Ultrasound?"
"Yes, mom," Cheryl said, turning to leave. She stopped at the door, turned to face Nancy, then said, "Don't let my mother bully you." And left the room.
Nancy laughed for a minute, while Daniella shot her a stern look.
"Your daughter has you pegged, Daniella," Nancy said, then continued laughing.
Daniella stood there with a displeased look on her face, and her tail whipping back and forth.
Nancy started laughing again, then another contraction took hold. She reached out and took Daniella's right paw in her left, squeezing as hard as she could.
Daniella let Nancy squeeze the life out of her paw, as she monitored Nancy's Blood Pressure. She watched it spike again. Not as high as during the last contraction, but enough to make her worry.
The contraction ebbed, leaving Nancy, breathing heavily.
Daniella took her paw back, shook some feeling back into it, then said, "Nancy, I'm going to have to give you something for the pain. I'm not going to allow my patient to go into Cardiac Arrest, while giving birth. I promise, the drug will not harm the kitten, in any way."
"Daniella, that's not what I want!" Nancy screamed.
"Mom! I have the ultrasound, and I found this real dreamy guy wandering the hall," Cheryl said, stepping into the room, pushing a small cart with the machine.
"You stopped to ogle a tom?" Daniella asked, almost fuming at her daughter.
"Not only ogle, I brought him with me," Cheryl said, before a very large white tiger entered the room. He was dressed in a dark blue suit.
Nancy let out a sigh of relief, then said, "Mario!"
He went to his wife, fell onto his left knee, took her left paw in his large ones, as he said, "I'm here, Nancy. Then kissed her paw.
Cheryl set up the machine for her mother, walked over to her, and placed her left arm around Daniella's shoulders, as she said, "See, I told you he was dreamy."
"Cheryl, what comes out of your mouth, never ceases to amaze me," Daniella said. She removed her daughter's arm from her, walked over to Nancy, then said, "Now that your husband is here, let's see what's going on with the kitten."
"Cub, doctor," Mario corrected.
Nancy lightly swatted her husband's muzzle, as she said, "It doesn't matter, Mario. Its our child."
"You're right, my love," he said.
"This is going to be a little cold, Nancy," Daniella said, applying the opaque blue gel to the wand. She lifted the blanket, followed by the bottom half on Nancy's gown, revealing the very large belly. She lowered the wand to Nancy's belly and turned her head to look at the monitor. As clear as day, an image of a very large kitten was shown. It was in the correct position, ready to be born. But there was one problem. The kitten's size would not allow for a traditional birth. There was no way, it would fit through the Birth Canal.
Daniella put the wand away, after cleaning it, then as she started wiping the gel from Nancy, she said, "The child appears to be healthy and strong, do you concur, daughter?"
"Oh yeah mother, I completely agree," Cheryl said.
"Now for the bad news. I'm going to have to perform a Cesarean. The child is simply too big for a normal birth," Daniella said.
Nancy grasped her husband's paws with her own, holding on as if her life depended on it.
"Don't worry, Nancy," Daniella said. "I've done countless amounts Cesarean procedures. Once you are set in the OR, we can get this child born, and into your arms."
"Can Mario, be there with me?" Nancy asked.
"Of course. I simply hope, we have a set of scrubs, that will fit him," Daniella said. She started leaving the room, then said, "I'll see you downstairs, in a little bit, Nancy. Its time."
