I'm sooooo sorry that it took so long for me to get this out! I got busy and distracted with school and life in general and then whenever I had time to right I really didn't have any inspiration for this story. But I just finished writing it so here it is! Hope you enjoy! Please comment and vote! Your input is very important to me!
~Kael's POV
I woke up slowly, my mind groggy and wondering what time it was. I went to roll over to look at the clock on my bedside table when I suddenly felt something furry brush against me and my eyes snapped open. I looked down at the strange creature before me and was a bit confused. She (at least it seemed like it was a she since she had breasts) had white fur covering most of her body and it was rather stunning. She was naked except for a loincloth and touching her exposed body was a hard thing to resist. I touched her arm lightly with my finger and found that the fur was definitely not an illusion as I ran a finger along her arm. She sighed happily and muttered my name before it all suddenly came rushing back to me. I wasn't at my house. I was in a cave village where a species of cat people lived and this one laying in the bed with me was my mate.
It was a shock when I first saw Natu and the other warrior the first day and even more of a shock when I found out my sister wasn't dead. I ran to her and cried when I saw her and I didn't even notice that she was pregnant or anything until after I started getting over the fact that she was alive. I was unsure about this place and honestly at first just wanted to drag her home. But then I saw him. Mini me. He was the cutest boy I had ever seen and as I started to get to know him I realized that he was really smart as well. Somehow that little boy wrapped me around his finger after only a few minutes with him. I decided it was okay if we stayed there with his kind as long as he was happy and I could be there for him as his uncle.
So I spent time with him and watched things go on around me as Isaac suddenly had a mate and killed some horrible monster. Charles wasn't taking any of this well and I wondered if we should just let him go home by himself since Erik and Shelly seemed to be having a ball here.
Then I walked into the tent after playing with mini me for awhile and saw the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. Her white fur was the lightest color I've seen on any of them and she obviously kept it well groomed. When she jumped me I had no idea what was going on until Isaac's mate said that this beautiful woman in my arms was my mate and her name was Masu. I was confused and a little unsure but I felt drawn to her. I wanted to take it slow though. Jess explained how their kind mated for life and I didn't want to commit to her if I wasn't positive I wanted to be with her.
Jess... I still can't believe you're alive...
I thought, thinking about all the hardship I had to deal with when I thought she was dead, before feeling Masu stir. I looked at her again and smiled slightly, all my troubles melting away. I smelt her hair as she started to wake up and I heard her purr slightly before she opened her eyes.
"Good morning Masu." I said, stroking along her arm still. She smiled and sighed happily as she pulled me a bit closer to her.
"Morning." She purred, her accent rather cute. I knew she didn't know much English but she had started to learn yesterday and I had started to learn their language so I could talk to Kael Jr. as much as possible. He actually taught me a lot and Natu found it amusing that his three-year-old son was teaching me, but I didn't care. I had always been over protective of the ones I love and now that I knew that Jess wouldn't need my protection anymore, I turned it onto my nephew. But then of course that might change soon as well seeing as I apparently had my own mate now.
"Food?" she asked. I nodded and got up, helping her up before she led me out of her room and into her family's main room. She had introduced me to her family last night after we left the main hut and then practically begged me to stay with her. I had agreed, honestly liking having her near even if I wasn't ready to make it completely permanent. I found it rather weird that mates could hear each other's thoughts and feel each other's emotions. I definitely needed some time to think about this logically. Plus, even though I wouldn't tell anyone but Jess, I wasn't a big fan of the public sex thing. It seemed pretty embarrassing.
I sat down with Masu next to her mother. Masu was the eldest of the children in her family so she would take over the family after her mother so she sat right next to her. Her father gave all of us some food and we started to eat and they talked as I tried to listen and understand.
"Kael! Kael, come quickly!!!" came Shelly's voice as she rushed in.
"Huh? What's going on?" I asked as she pulled me to my feet and Masu followed.
"Jess is going into labor!" she said excitedly as she continued to pull me out of the hut. I almost tripped over my own feet at that but then started to quickly follow her. Isaac and his mate were right behind us and his mate said something excitedly to mine before she gasped and squealed happily. I smiled and blushed, thinking it was adorable as we all rushed to the main hut. When we got there we all rushed inside but were stopped by Ju.
"No more. Need space." He tried to explain before seeing me. "You only." He said before holding the flap open for me. I walked in and saw Jess sitting on a bed of furs and breathing deeply with Mana, Natu and a woman I didn't know around her.
"Kael. Sit." Natu said from behind Jess. She leaned back on him and smiled weakly at me.
"Hey Kael. You don't have to stay if you don't want to." She told me. Mana moved out of the way so I could sit down and hold her hand.
"I already missed the first one. I'll stay here with you sis." I replied. She smiled and squeezed my hand lightly before squeezing it a little tighter and whimpering slightly in pain. The other woman in the room started telling her things in their language and I guessed that she was one of the village doctors. I sat there through it, holding her hand as Natu whispered words of encouragement. A few hours passed that seemed like days yet passed quickly and the doctor exclaimed something before Jess pushed one more time and the baby came out. The nurse quickly put the baby in a blanket Mana offered and she wrapped her up and cleaned her off. Soon the baby took its first breath and then cried out as Mana sat the baby on Jessica's chest.
"It girl." Mana announced to us happily. I looked at the little girl that was still crying a bit and smiled. I was a little surprised to see that unlike her brother that seemed completely neko, this little girl seemed completely human. She had all of Jessica's coloring but her features were a bit different. Jess cooed to the little one and Natu was beaming at them both. I decided to let them have their moment and got up to leave the room with the doctor.
