Quaxo smiled at Munkustrap in return, nodding at him slowly and lying down as well. He stretched out as well, lying quite close to Munkustrap and resting his head beside his friend's. ----- Plato snerked quietly and shook his head, leaning over to shove Tumble playfully. "Are too." he teased, crossing his arms and nodding. "He is not!" Plato cried, looking over to Cassandra again.

"I am not!" Tumble's desparate stare at Plato, though, said something different, as it very clearly screamed, HELP! Plato had a lot more experience with queens than he did!
Etcetera bounded after Jemima. "I'm a gonna be a Pom, like at the Ball! Yip! Yip! Yip!" She chased the calico kitten, her 'barks' high-pitched like a Pom's should be.
Munkustrap leaned a little closer to Quaxo, nuzzling his cheek. "So much energy," he said, nodding toward the kittens. "I wonder if I'll ever be able to keep up with them."

“Are you sure?” Bombalurina asked, drying her eyes. Jellylorum placed a comforting paw on the red queen’s shoulder.
“Positive, sweetheart.”
“And there’s nothing you can do?”
Jellylorum shook her head. “You have to let nature takes its course.”
Bomba nodded sadly. “I know, but—“
“No, Bombalurina. You have to accept this and move on with your life. Now, go home, get a good sleep, and come to see me tomorrow and we’re sort this whole thing out.”
“But I have no idea who he is!”
Jellylorum shook her head. “That happens sometimes. You’ll know when the time comes. I promise.”
“Okay Jelly. I trust you.”
“Good. Now, go home. Sleep. You’ll be fine, I promise. This was bound to happen sooner or later.”
Bombalurina wiped away some more tears with the back of her paw. “I know.”
Jellylorum walked the moping queen out of the dresser with a reassuring hug and a nod. Then, Bombalurina was on her own.
Of all the things that could’ve happened to her, this was the worst. She placed a paw on her stomach and grimaced. Say goodbye to your perfect figure, she thought sourly.
Bombalurina was pregnant.
Now she would begin the adventure of finding out who the father was.

Quaxo returned the little nuzzle and laughed quietly. "I'm sure you will," he murmured, watching the kittens play and smiling widely. "You're just injured right now. When you're all healed you'll have twice the energy they have." ----- Plato smirked at Tumble, noticing his plea for help. He nodded quickly toward his little brother and went to Cassandra, wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her away from Tumble. "So... how was your day so far, Cass?" he asked quietly.

"Mm." Munkustrap frowned. "Speaking of healing... we should go check on Bomba, make sure she's all right." He pushed himself to his feet, gingerly making his way down off the car.
Tumble looked gratefully at his brother, nodding along with Plato's question. "Yes, Cassandra, how have you been?" Now that she wasn't wrapped around him, and Plato was leading the conversation, he could participate.

Cassie smiled as Plato wrapped his arm around her waist. "Good. Cought three mice today. And how was your day?" She asked looking into Plato's eyes her voice flirty. Her mind passed over the thought that she was just passed on. She didn't mind really.

Quaxo stood as well, following Munkustrap off of the car. He caught up to Munkustrap, gently taking his paw in his own and swinging their paws between them. He smiled at the other tom, leaning over to peck his cheek. ----- Plato glanced at Tumble and almost laughed again, but held it back and turned his attention back to the queen. "My day has been long, Cass," he said quietly, leaning over to nuzzle her cheek gently. "Congratulations on the mice."

Munkustrap smiled at Quaxo, but he stopped the arm-swinging. His shoulder twinged a bit. "I hope she's not sick. A disease going around the junkyard won't be good."
Tumble watched attentively, taking mental notes.

Bombalurina spotted Munkustrap and started to walk over, but when she spotted Quaxo she stopped. Yeah... Quaxo wasn't exactly the cat she wanted around her right now...

"Bombalurina!" Munkustrap smiled when he saw the red queen, though, and headed in her direction. "Are you doing any better?" He frowned, looking her over. "You look... upset."

"Yeah... can I talk to you for a second?" She glanced at Quaxo. "Alone?"

"Um..." Munkustrap looked over at Quaxo, and then released his paw. "Sure. Quaxo, can you give us a minute?"

Cassie pecked him on the cheek laughing. She did love flirting. "How so?" She asked trying to make some conversation.

Quaxo glared at Bombalurina for a moment before turning to Munkustrap. He nodded slowly and pulled away reluctantly, sighing as he made his way back to the TSE 1. ----- Plato grinned a little and pulled Cassandra to a little box where they could both easily fit. He sat, crossing his legs again. "Being in the nursery all day can really take its toll on you. I was trying to get Jelly to let me go, and I finally did. The kittens were really loud while I was trying to sleep. You know."

Bombalurina watched Quaxo go and waited until he was out of earshot to take a deep breath. "Munkustrap," she whispered, her voice cracking a bit, "I... I'm pregnant."
