Tina opened the door quietly and poked her head inside the room. Even in the dim light that leaked into the darkened room from the hallway she could clearly see the young teen couple cuddled together in her sons bed. She snickered slightly at the thought of what she was about to do. After they had missed dinner, and the caracal’s chance to agree to a shopping trip, she had decided to force the issue. SHe slipped inside and closed the door behind her, quickly going to the closet the teens shared. humming to herself softly she quickly gathered the girls jeans from the hangers leaving her with only a single dress that she was certain was a bit snug on the caracal. Moving to their dresser she silently opened each drawer removing the young kitten's other clothes and adding them to the pile in her arms. Once her plan was complete she slipped back out into the hallway closing the door and leaving the pair to their slumber. “Skip out on a meal on me will you,” she said softly to herself. “Now like it or not little kitten, you and I will be going shopping for you some more appropriate clothes for a pregnant girl.”

Humming to herself as she went down stairs the polecat mother went through the kitchen and out the back door. Jeffrey was waiting for her and took part of the bundle from her as he smiled at her devilishly. “You know it’s a little mean to just swipe her clothes in the middle of the night like this right?”

“I told them to be on time for dinner, she would have had her chance to agree with me then. But since they just had to go up to that room and screw each to sleep, she gave up that chance,” Tina said with a giggle. “So now she can just do this my way and get the hell over it.” Walking out towards the storage shed she added, “you got that fire going nice and hot like I told you to right?”

“Yes ma’am I did,” her husband said with a big goofy grin on his face.. “So ummmm… after you torch the poor girls clothes, exactly what do yu have in mind woman?” 

“What I have in mind Jeff, is to stirp down to my own fur and see if your still as much of a stud as you always were when we were dating. Because if you are then you still have the guts to get naked with me in the backyard,” TIna said walking over to the fire he had built while she was sneaking into their sons room.

“It’s been a few years since you wanted to do that,” Jeffery said as he followed her out to the fire. “At least this time I don’t have to worry about your father catching us… or that damn fool Brandy and her roaming fingers.”

Morning soon rolled around and like all the other mornings Cat was the first one up.  Slipping out of the bed, her footpaws hit the floor and she stood up and stretched, her paws slipping down to rub her tummy.  Smiling softly she started making her way over to the closet, pulling the door open and tilting her head.

“Hey Tommy…..I know that you like me to be naked, but I do need some clothing ya know.”  Cat said turning around and glancing at the sleeping polecat.

Rolling over towards his girlfriends voice as he cracked one eye a little the polecat said, “you have clothes Cat, yea I do like you naked but I know you can’t be that way all the time… heck it would give our tutor a heart attack. That  or I would have to hurt him for ogling my sexy girlfriend.”

“Ok….then where the hell are all of my clothes?”  Cat asked tapping her foot slowly.  “I’m sure that they didn’t just grow legs and walk off or some shit like that.”

“They’re in the closet like they always are sweet lips,” the polecat said flopping over onto his belly, one arm hanging over the edge of the bed.

“Well then it seems that I have gone blind.”  She said walking over to the polecat, she started nudging his hand with her foot.  “Really Tommy…..where are they?”

Slipping from the bed to his footpaws Tommy shuffled over to their closet sleepily and opened the door as he turned to his lover, “see they are right…” he paused as he turned and looked into the nearly empty closet. “Where the hell are your clothes?”

“You know, the funny thing is, I was just asking that same question.”  Cat said walking up beside him, putting her hand on his shoulder.  “Think it’s a prank by your brother?”

“Well….” the polecat started as he turned and wrapped her in his arms, “he is always saying that you have nice boobies. Maybe he just wanted another good look and was too embarrassed to ask.”

“It could be.”  She said walking over to the dresser, opening it.  “Well…...He got all of my pants to….Maybe he wants more of a look.”

“Wait your pants too?” Tommy said his eyes going a bit wide at the revelation.

The two teens heared a quick tap at the door before the mother polecat walked in. “Well look who decided to wake the hell up finally.”

“Ummm.  Ms. Tina….I think that Jason has stolen all of my clothes….I can’t find any of them.”  She said walking over to the bed and taking the blanket from it to wrap up in.

“No it wasn’t Jason, I took them… and burned them,” the older female said flatly.
“But…..but why….”  Cat asked tilting her head a little, tears starting to well up in the corners of her eyes.  “You’re…..you’re not going to kick me out are you?  Did….did I do something wrong?”  She asked as she burst into sobs.  “I…..I’m sorry.”

“Damn it mom…” Tommy said rushing to his girlfriend and wrapping her in his arms, “now look what the hell you did.”

“Cool your jets boy,” Tina said sternly. “No you haven’t done anything wrong Catherine, and no one is throwing you out. But a teenage girl that is pregnant has no business wearing tight fitting jeans  And to be honest, those shirts were butt ugly as hell. IF the two of you had made it to dinner last night, instead of humping each other until you passed the hell out, you would have known what was coming. Catherine and I, and no one the hell else are going shopping today for clothes that are pretty and appropriate for a girl her age that is expecting. This time we are starting with bare fur and going from there.”

“Buuuu…...but.”  Cat squeaked out, wiping her eyes on the blanket.  “I thought that I had a good sense of fashion.”  She said with a little huff.  “I mean you didn’t say anything when I picked it out.”  She said looking up to the adult.

“Oh yes you have decent taste in clothes, for someone a little younger and maybe kind of slutty. But you young lady are going to be a mother… and soon a wife. You need to start looking more like both of those and less like a street urchin.”

“Hey…...That’s behind me now.”  She said poking her tongue out.  “Well then Ms. Tina…..what am I supposed to wear on this day out?  And can we get our nails done and stuff too?”  She said with a little giggle.

“The plan is to find you a decent outfit quickly and get you looking more like the young lady that you are. Until then there is a dress in the closet that will have to do for an hour or so.” Turning towards the door Tina called out over her shoulder, “there is also a pair of panties in the top drawer of your chest of drawers. By the way while I’m thinking about it… until after the babies are born you can kiss the jeans goodbye. It’ll be dresses and skirts and sweatpants for you Catherine. If we don’t have any... issues, then I can see a manny pedy in our plans easily enough.” Stopping at the door for a brief moment she turned and looked at the young lovers as she added one last thought. “As long as you don’t give me any lip about this, either of you, then we can see about a few sexy things for you to wear for that studly guy that keeps you warm at night.”

“Mooooooooom,” the polecat whined as his ears turned red with the intense blush that swept over him.

“Oooooooh now I am going to have to be on my best behavior.”  Cat said smiling and poking out her tongue at her lover.  “So Ms. Tina, when are we leaving out?”

“As soon as you get dressed and the two of you get your asses down stairs so we can grab a bite of breakfast. Get moving you two, before I change my mind and put her in a nun’s habit instead,” Tina said walking out of the room and down the hallway.

“Remind me to stay on your mom’s good side.”  Cat said shaking her head as she went over there and pulling the drawer open and instantly face palming.  “God damn it.”

“What?” the polecat said walking over to his lover and putting his chin on her shoulder.

“I hope that your mom isn’t planning on making me wear these all the time.”  Cat said holding up the pair of granny panties.  “I mean….She was talking about my tastes…..this is worse than my bad tastes.”  She said shaking her head as she started slipping them on.

“Knowing my mom… those are more of a statement then a plan to change the tpye of panites you wear,” Tommy said with a little grin. “Besides I would think when your belly gets bigger… those kind would just end up bunched up in your crotch anyway.”

“Oh Tommy.”  She said shaking her head and making her way over to the closet, pulling it open and reaching for the dress.  “At least its a nice looking dress.”  She said shaking her head as she slipped into it, wiggling a little as she adjusted it.  “It’s a little tight.”  She said turning to Tommy, showing off the fact that the dress showed off her growing belly.

“Damn it dad,” the polecat boy said with a little shiver running through his body from his nose to the tip of his tail. “I think I’m going to really like you in dresses and girly stuff Cat.” He smiled broadly at her as he said, “dad was right… a pregnant girl is just so… sexy.”

“Like I have been telling you, just don’t rub the fur off.”  She said rolling her eyes and kissing him on the lips.  “Come on, I want something to eat.”  Cat said as she took him by the hand and lead him to the kitchen.

“Well look who the cat dragged in,” Tommy’s father said as the young couple entered the kitchen. “I take it you decided against the polecat sausage this morning then?” he asked with a smirk on his face.

“Yeah…..cause….after seeing what his mom pulled last night….I’m not going to miss another meal.”  Cat said shaking her head and taking a seat.  “She’s…..kinda scary.”

“That was her in a playful mood, imagine what her pissed off would be,” the older male said glancing over to his wife briefly.

“Is it time to eat yet? I’m hungr…” Jason said running in the back door , pausing when he saw his brother and the caracal standing at the door to the kitchen. “WOW!! Cat’s even prettier in a dress… ummm, is her boobies gettin’ bigger?”

“Good morning to you to Jason.”  Cat said smiling.  “And you know, come to think about it….they do feel a little bigger.”  She said blushing a little.

“They are… I mean I think they are too,” Tommy said, his ears turning red after his unintentional slip of the tongue.

“Leave it to the boy to know if they are or not…” his father said with a little chuckle. “Come on champ get up to the table and eat, while the ladies are out today the three of us have a few projects to get done.”

“What projects?” Tommy asked cocking his head as he looked at his father.

“We hafta get the prstic… platric… the stuff up in your room to keep the dust out,” Jason said as he crawled up into his usual chair.

“Dust? Dust from what?” Tommy asked a little wide eyed.

“From the work we have to do on your room silly,” Jason chimed in with a big grin on his face.

“Dad… what the heck is he talking about?” the oldest boy asked confused by his brothers statement.

“Your mother has ordered that the wall between your room and your sister’s old room be opened up and pocket doors be installed to make it easier for you and Catherine to take care of your babies. I called my buddy Jerome downtown and he’s taking care of the permits and all that shit. He and Daryl will be here around noon to lend a paw and help us get that part of it done. Once the opening is cleaned up, the doors installed and new moldings put around the opening we have a lot of other work ahead of us over the next week or so. Since your home all day you can do quite a bit of it, after your tutor leaves and your school work is done, and once the painting is done and dry Catherine can help also.”

“I sure hope that you can handle a hammer….then again you are good with your hands.”  She said snickering.  “Well I can help no matter what, that’s what those mask things are for.”  She said tilting her head a little.

“Afraid not little lady,” Jeffrey said looking at the caracal girl. “Those things are for particles, not fumes. We are not taking any chances with the twins health. So until the painting is done, and completely dry you keep your hind end out of that room.”

“I think we better give in on this one,” Tommy said putting a hand on his lover’s shoulder. “Dad seems kind of set on it and he does have a point.”

“Sounds good to me…..I was always better at coloring with pencils than paint.”  Cat said with a little snicker, starting to eat.  “I have a strange feeling that you and momma polecat are going to have your grand kids spoiled before they get here.”

“You may be right,” Tina said with a big grin as she picked up her glass of juice. “Before and after and from now on, you two may as well get used to it because I fully intend to spoil them rotten. If you don’t like it... tough shit, suck it up and get happy.”

“You do realize that until we’re older we will be living here with you and dad right mom?” the polecat said grinning from ear to ear certain he would have the last laugh on his mother.

“Yes, you will. But that has nothing to with the fact that I can hype them up on sugar and soda and send them upstairs for you two to deal with now does it? Don’t get cocky boy,” his mother said giggling, “everyone knows that grandma is the boss… and dad is just the driver and an ATM machine.”

“Grandma and grandpa Bradley.”  Cat said snickering a little.  “I think that it has a nice ring to it.”  She said nodding and smiling at the older polecats.  “And Tommy, don’t forget that the dads are the repairmen to.”

“Oh I could never forget that part,” Tommy said getting out of his chair and standing behind his girlfriends. He wrapped his arms around the chair and the caracal, his hands quickly going to her breasts and groping her as he said, “but first I have to finish fixing your radio. The knobs seem to be a little too big for the chassis.”

With a little shake of her head, the caracal sat her fork down and put her hands on Tommy’s.  “Your such a dork.”  She said as she pulled his hands down to her belly.  “You know, you’re going to have to learn to share with these two, think that you can handle that?”

“I think I can do that, as long as I still get to cuddle up with their mother,” Tommy said leaning down a bit and nipping playfully at her neck. “While you finish up your breakfast, I’ll go get your coat and gloves, can’t have my sexy kitten getting cold now can we?”

“I don’t know Tommy…..we’re having twins….my arms are going to be full.”  She said with a little snicker, purring at the little soft nips that she was getting from her mate.  “Though I’m sure that we can work something out…..and thank you sweetie.”  She said rolling her eyes.

After her son left the room Tina Bradley set her dirty dishes in the sink and walked back to the table. Stopping behind Cat’s chair she leaned down and whispered into her ear, “I know he’s a bit irritating with the whole overprotective thing Catherine. But trust me when we’re through today...you’ll be having the last laugh on him. There is a reason we’re leaving the boys home today.”

“I’m liking this more and more.”  Cat said with a snicker.  “And as for Tommy’s over protecting me and all that.  I’m getting used to it…..though I worry about him when the kids get here….I don’t want them living in a bubble…..when is our appointment to see Shanoa again?”

“Next Wednesday at one in the afternoon,” Tina said walking to the counter to gather her things so they could leave shortly. “Maybe this time the little carpet sharks will cooperate and we can find out the sexes of my grandchildren.”

“We are going to have a boy and a girl….I can feel it…..then again that might be one of them kicking.”  Cat said as she got up, walking over and putting her plate in the sink.  “I’m ready grandma.”  She said with a little giggle.

“Then let’s go and get my daughter-in-law to be some clothes that make her look like the precious young lady I know she is,” Tina said with a big smile as she led the way to the front door.

“Oh come on Catherine, it was one dress and I already told you it was to get back at Thomas for his wise cracks. You only have to wear it once for a few minutes. The rest of what you’ve picked out has been fine dear,” Tina said rolling her eyes. “It was both of our idea to get a few things to turn his head in the bedroom. It’s not like I will see anything I don’t everyday Catherine. Come on out and let’s have a look at you.”

“I know, but nothing has been this…...revealing.”  She said peeking her head out of the door.  “Here goes.”  She muttered as she stepped out of the changing room and stood in front of the mother polecat, Cat was dressed in a sexy, fur hugging camisole, one that showed off her growing belly and chest.  The tangerine orange of the silky material standing out against her darker fur, the outfit even came with the matching garter and stockings.  “Ho…..how does it look?”

Getting to her footpaws Tina walked over and slowly walked around the caracal looking her over carefully. “Okay it fits well, stretchy material so it doesn’t put too much pressure on your belly. Shows just enough breast without you hanging out like a floozy. Shows off his favorite part well…, sexy and seductive without making you look cheap or slutty...perfect.” Walking back around and looking Cat in the eyes she said, “the thing about lingerie Cat, is that it should make you look sexy and show him just how womanly you are, not like you belong on a street corner. That little outfit does it wonderfully. You dressed like that for Tommy should have him purring.” Sitting in her chair again she added, “I’m sure by now you know Tommy has a little bit of a thing about butts, and yours in particular. That thong will drive him wild, and the ‘cuffs’ is a nice touch that is kind of playful, he’ll melt the moment he sees you in it.” Giving a nod of satisfaction she said, “now go try on the one you picked out for every night and if it fits properly we’ll pick out a few more in other colors you like. That way you’ll have more than one and to make it a bit harder on the boy when he does laundry. He won’t be able to touch any of them without thinking of how you look in them.”

“Well when you put it like that…..I like it.”  She said turning and looking at herself in one of the mirrors.  “And I do look damn fine in this.”  She said smiling and resting her hands on her belly, meeping a little.  “Oh they're kicking, feel Ms. Bradley.”

The mother polecat nearly vaulted from her chair as she rushed over and put her hands on the caracal girl’s belly. After only a moment or two she could feel tiny paws nudging against her hands from inside the girls belly. With a huge grin she asked,  “have they done this yet when you and Tommy are fooling around?”

“Once or twice…….We may have gotten side tracked from the sex cause of the two kicking and wriggling around.”  She said blushing and smiling, “we ended up snuggling there and just talking and rubbing my belly.”

“That’s so adorable… so how big did his eyes get the first time it happened?” she asked slowly rubbing her hand over the girls belly, the tiny paws within seeming to follow her motions.

“As big as dinner plates.”  She said with a little giggle as she felt the other mother moving her hand and the babies kicking and wriggling.  “I thought that he was going to have a joygasm.”

“The boy is more like his father than he wants to admit,” the mother polecat said with a little giggle. “Tommy is a good kid, and since it’s just us girls… I’m glad that he met you Catherine. I’ll be honest, at first when I found out you were homeless and all I really thought the boy had lost his fucking mind. But with a little bit of time to get to know you myself, I think he was in the right place at the right time. You deserve a good guy like him, even if he is my son. I just hope like hell he realizes that he deserves you just as much.”

“Oh…..oh…”  She said smiling.  “Thank you Ms. Bradley.”  She said as she reached out and pulled the mother polecat into a hug.  “I owe you all so much for everything that you have done for me and all that you're going to do for me…..and the babies.”  She said smiling, “so about that mani and pedi…”

“Very shortly, but you need to go try on the other nightwear first so we know whether or not to pick up a few more of them for you. Then one last outfit I picked out for you… the one in the blue box. I think that with any luck… you may need it soon,” Tina said with a huge smile.

“Ok.”  Cat said as she slipped back into the changing room and starting to slip out of the night wear that she had on to start getting dressed in the next one.  A light pink, silk teddy with the matching panties, she smiled and wiggled a little as her paws felt the fabric, feeling it stretch, she knew that the mother polecat made sure to get something that she would be able to wear the whole pregnancy.  “Hows this one look?”  She asked as she stepped back out of the changing room.

“That looks wonderful, very tasteful, doesn’t show very much really but hints at everything. Tommy will drool all over himself with you wearing nightwear like that every night. That is if you like it, does it fit well, no pinching or binding is there?” the mother polecat asked with a sly grin.

“No, it’s really nice, and it feels really nice too.”  The caracal said smiling, doing a little turn in place as she looked at herself in the mirror before moving over to the blue box.  “Is this another nice dress?”  She asked as she took the lid off of the box, the lid instantly falling from her hands.  “M…..Ms. Tina…..is…..is this what I think it is?”  She asked pulling out a white sleeveless dress.  “I mean...it is isn’t it?”  She asked holding the dress up to herself and turning to look at the mirror.  “M…..Ms. Tina.”  She said, tears starting to well up in her eyes as she looked over the white dress, the white sash with the flower going around the middle, right down to the gathered organza skirt.  “I…..I don’t know what to say.”  She said looking up to the mother, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Leaning back in her chair and smiling inwardly to herself the mother polecat said, “say that everything is behind you and only the future matters Catherine. That is exactly what you  think it is, and I see no reason to wait until the last minute for it. I have no doubt that boy of mine is going to ask, and knowing him like I do it will be soon. One less thing to have to worry about when he does and the two of you set the date.” Getting to her footpaws the mother polecat walked over behind Catherine, placing her hands on the caracal girls shoulders she said, “welcome to the family Catherine, just stay as true to my son as you have been and you and I will not have many issues.”

“And I’m sure that we can work through the few issues that we will have….long as you're not like my mom’s mother in law was.”  She said as she reached up and put a hand on the mother polecat’s shoulder.

“Okay guys,” the older polecat said with a smile. “That takes care of sealing off the room to keep the dust and all from bothering the mother to be. Jerome and Deryl have already started opening up the wall and the lumber yard should be here with the doors and other materials soon. One of the advantages of having an old school chum that is a general contractor… getting work done on the cheap side and it still being up to code and quality workmanship,” Jeffrey said patting his oldest son on the back. They’ll also get this done in a few hours where it would take us days.” The younger polecat jumped a little at the sound of an airhorn, his father giggling a little as he said,  “sounds like the materials are here, let’s go haul them in while the guys keep working on that wall. Come on Jason we need a paw out front.”

While Tommy and his brother helped their dad get the new doors, sheetrock, and other supplies inside and upstairs to his sisters old bedroom the other pair of men had cut a huge rectangular hole in the wall between the rooms and stripped part of the walls down to bare studs. On several trips they were greeted by the sounds of sawing and hammering, But by the time all the materials and supplies were safely in what was to be the nursery for his and Cat’s children, the two men had the new doors installed and were starting to repair the walls.

“Don’t do it all guys, this boy is supposed to be helping out as partial repayment of what this is going to cost. It’s he and his girlfriend that are expecting after all, not Tina and I.”

“Oh he is huh?” Jerome, a Toyger man about the same age as his father said grinning at the younger polecat. “Kinda young to be making cubs ain’t ya there boy? Then again your dad was about your age when he started poppin the cock to the sweet young things himself.”

“Shut up, you weren’t exactly a saint either,” Jeffrey said with a chuckle, “Sharon was what… fourteen when you knocked her up the first time?”

“Hey now, that one wasn’t my fault, she’s the one that didn’t watch the claws when she put the rubber on me,” the toyger said shaking his head. “Her folks wouldn’t go for the whole kids living together thing like you and Tina are. Hell Shawn was nearly five by the time her dad wasn’t able to stop us from gettin hitched.”

“Wait,” Tommy said turning to look at the older male, cocking his head to the side a little. “If her dad would have let you… you would have married her when she got pregnant?”

“Damn straight. I had been cattin around for two years by the time she and I got together. So it’s not like it was something new to get my willy wet. I loved that girl as much then as I do now after what, nearly fifteen years?:When she told me she was preggo I freaked out at first, but I knew how I felt about her and I wanted to be with her and raise the baby together. We kind of got to do that, and I’m sure her dad was sick to death of me being at his house nearly all the time. But I didn’t care, it was our little Andrew that was involved and that was what mattered to me.”

“Yea, Brenda and I waited a bit longer than you did fur face, but I still remember the shit her dad used to give me hen we were dating. To hear him tell it we were knocking boots all over his house. But we never did, it was all in his head, hell we didn’t do it for the first time until the night of senior prom.”

“Either way you wouldn’t trade the woman you have for anyone else would you?” the older polecat asked as sorted through some of the remodeling supplies.

“Nope, not in a million years. Hell I think she’s the only woman that would put up with my sorry ass,” the toyger said with a hearty laugh. “I’m not exactly easy to get along with.”

“So, ummm… how did you know they were the right ones? You know, the one you wanted to be with forever and all that?” Tommy asked as a blush crept into his ears tinting them a pale pink.

“Kind of hard to explain that one,” the dingo man said looking at the boy. “Kind of warm and fuzzy all over, sort of like nothing could touch me whenever she was close to me. Man I used to get ready for our dates like three hours early and just sit on the edge of my bed and count the seconds until I’d see her again.”

“Fuckin romantic ain’t ya?” the toyger said chuckling. “Okay you’re kinda right on it though. Hell whenever I was with Sharon it just felt like that was exactly where I was supposed to be. Still does too, even if we’re not doin nothin but cuddlin up in a chair together.”

“Change of subject for a minute, but have you rubbed any fur off her belly yet boy?” Deryl asked cocking an eyebrow at the polecat boy.

“No, but I do really like to rub her belly and all that. I don’t know it just feels….”

“Like you’re incredibly close to her and the baby right?” the toyger asked grinning at the younger polecat.

“Yea, kind of like that, like I’m close to all of them,” Tommy said with a little smile on his face.

“All of them? Just how many of them is there?” Jeremy asked looking to the boy’s father.

“Three in total, momma and a set of twins,” Jeffrey replied nodding towards his son. “But there is one point you don’t know yet, and I think it should be the boy that tells you, it’s not my place to spread that around. Though I will say I’m proud of him for stepping up like he’s wanting to.”

“Yea… the babies aren’t mine, she was already pregnant when we met and all. She didn’t know it at the time, but since we found out… I still want to be with her and I want to be the babies father anyway.”

“Jeff, your boy has a case of crazy as a loon, or a pair the size of basketballs,” Jerome said as he stared at Tommy across the room. “You seriously gonna take on the responsibility of two kids that’s not yours huh?”

“Yes sir, I guess it sounds kind of crazy but…” Tommy began before the toyger cut him off.

“Not to me it doesn’t son. It sounds more like you found the girl that was meant for you, she just happens to have a little extra baggage that’s coming along for the ride. Main thing is to take care of that little woman of yours Tommy boy,” the toyger said with a grin.

“With his mother?” Deryl chimed in, “he damn well better or that women may just skin him and use his pelt as a rug.”

While they had been talking the group had been continuing the work on the room, the toyger stepping back a bit from the wall he was working on and looking around as he said, “well that’s the last seam in the drywall. doors are in, walls are all closed back up, now it needs a day or two to dry before we start making a real mess in here.” Turning to Tommy he said, “next part is sanding down the seams and for that, you really need to keep that girl the hell away from this room. That shit is very bad for your health, even with the proper equipment.”

Tommy looked over to his father a bit wide eyed and was about to speak when the older polecat cut him off. “Don’t worry son, that’s why we sealed off that part of your room the way we did.”

“Yea, and we’ll close and seal the new doors before we start doing that shit as an extra precaution,” the dingo man added. “Main thing is to keep her out of this room until all the sanding and clean up is done. Think you can handle that boy?”

“Oh I’m sure he can think of a few ways to keep her occupied and happy,” his father said with a snicker.

“Dad…” Tommy said with a blush showing in his ears. “It’s not like that’s all we do…”

“Maybe not but it sure seems like it’s the main thing you two do,” the older polecat said teasingly. “Hell boy you and her make more noise than your mother and I do most nights.”

“Oh we do not…” Tommy started before seeing the look his father was giving him. “Do we?”

“Okay, more than I wanted to know there boys,” the toyger said as he started gathering up the tools. “But seriously, nothing much we can do now for a couple of days. Once the joint compound dries and we sand it down so the joints are flat and smooth we can take up the carpet, give the room a good once over cleaning and get started with the painting. When you called me about this I was thinking simple door addition,” the toyger said turning to look at the older polecat. “Knowing the circumstances and all, and that there are twins on the way changes my mind a bit. Knowing Tina isn’t likely to let Tommy and his girl move out until she’s sick of them … yea if it’s okay with you Jeff, I think we need to make this room into a kids paradise while we’re at it. Me and the boys will do the work and all that shit. Knowing the crazy bastards that work for me they’ll probably provide much of the needed materials too. Once they find out it’s for Tommy and his little kitty girl anyway.”

“And just how would they find that out in the first place?” Jeffrey asked with a sly grin on his face.

“Well when I tell them of course,” the toyger said chuckling. “Got most of them coming over to the house this evening to help me christen the new patio and barbeque they helped me built last fall. Troy and Trent, my deign guys, they’ll be there too and we can set down and draft up a rough of an idea that I have rattling around in my head. Should work fine no matter what the sexes of the cubs are.”

“You know…” the dingo said as he put the last of the hand tools into the job box and closed the lid making sure it locked securely. “With all the extra attention this is going to bring to Tommy and his girl, we might not want to leave Jason out either. I have an idea for his room too, and I know for sure from his birthday party that all of the guys wives were just batshit over that cute little boy of yours Jeff. Fuck it, we’ll do his room too and call it an early birthday present for next year.”

“You guys are certifiably nuts, you know that right?” Jeffery said looking from one to the other of his friends.

“Sharon would agree on that one,” Jerome said slapping the older polecat on the back as he walked past. “But the thing is that I’ve thought your boy was a stand up guy since I met the kid. Taking on the responsibility of someone elses cubs… that’s just automatic man card shit right there no matter how old you are.” Patting the boy on the shoulder he said, “I’m proud as hell of the boy and he’s not even mine. Besides,” he added as he tousled the boys auburn hair, “us gingers have to stick together you know?”

“Come on Daryl, I’ll make a couple of calls on the way and we can work on that rough sketch while things are cooking. Jeff, Tommy, we’ll see you guys in a couple of days to get back on this room. Hopefully by then I’ll have a set of plans in my paw to show you what I have in mind for your childrens and your brothers rooms.”

The trio of polecats watched as the two men pulled away from the house, Tommy looking to his father as they drove away. “Dad, ummmm, about me and Cat. You know I really do love her right? That it’s not just some kind of puppy love or anything…” 

“I know son, and I have no doubt that for both of you it is real and not just a passing thing. I can see the same things in your eyes and hers that I saw in my own when I met your mother. Even a blind fur could tell you love each other,” the older polecat said looking out across the field that separated them from their neighbors.

“Then you… you don’t think I’m crazy because I want… I want to marry her?” Tommy asked hesitantly.

A smile slowly spread across the older polecats face, visible a little to his son even though he still did not turn to look at the boy. “Not a bit, maybe I should, but I don’t. I see things in my job Tommy. Not all of them are bad either, and sometimes what I see can even make me smile a little. What I see a lot of times though, is parents freaking out over their kids doing the very same things you do Tommy. Instead of being smart about the fact that their children are becoming sexualy active they freak out and sometimes go as far as beating them because of it. I’m not saying they should let their kids get married as young as you and Catherine are or have cubs or any of that. What I am saying is that in some cases, it’s better to be understanding and supportive than to resort to threats and violence to get your way as a parent.” Turning and looking down at his son the older polecat chuckled a little. “You and Catherine are a very special case. She has had to do things that no young girl should have to resort to just to survive and , keep herself from a place she didn’t want to be in. You know and understand that, and still have it in your heart to love her and to care about her. Because of her situation at least one predator, and probably more that she can not remember either, took advantage of her and got her pregnant. The fact that you still want her, still want to be with her and show her the love of a good man. Even that you are willing to take on children that are not yours and raise them just as if they were… that speaks volumes about the young man your mother and I have raised. If taking this girl as your wife and mate is what you truly want, then we will not only allow it, we will push for it and make it happen. You have my word on that.”

Smiling up at his father, tears beginning to form in the young polecat’s eyes Tommy said, “thanks dad. I’m lucky to have such great parents, and such a great girlfriend. Thanks for understanding why I want this. I love her, and the babies even if they aren’t mine biologically, they will always be mine and Cat’s kids.”
