"Julie's Best Friend"

A the morning light peered into Charlie's nursery, Charlie woke up to find his sister still pressed firmly to him, his paws caressing her small chest.  Last night still felt like a dream to him, but seeing Melanie in his arms not wanting to go anywhere else made him think otherwise.  He tenderly licked and kissed Melanie's cheek, nuzzling her warmly as he started to smell a very special scent she had started to waft over the night.  It was intoxicating to Charlie; it was as if those smells were just for him.  Enticed, he pressed in even closer to Melanie, his padded loins pressing to Melanie's bottom.  A soft groan was heard as Charlie relized that they didn't continue their mischief overnight, but the two had pretty much exhausted themselves from their first mating so he really couldn't blame anyone for that.  Unfortunately for Charlie though, he was waking up stiff and needing to hump himself to Melanie to relieve the pressure.  He gently kissed and licked Melanie's neck as he slowly rubbed himself into her.  Small little huffs and pants came from Charlie, hitting Melanie's ear as she subconsciously started to fit herself to Charlie, slowly rubbing back without knowing it.  Charlie didn't know why he wanted to do this with Melanie already but it was clear she wanted him to hump into her.  His sister made soft little huffs and pants in pleasure as well, gently readjusting herself so Charlie could fit her better.  Melanie panted and smiled in her sleep as she rocked herself into her brother, blushing as she felt a warm pleasure in her loins.  She still didn't wake up but her subconscious mind made its decision; Melanie needed Charlie again as he slowly humped into her, making Melanie feel so good inside.

Unlike last night though, the two kits were snuggly diapered so getting back together would be more of a challenge.  However, Melanie's paws already had an idea; one of her paws went over to give Charlie and idea, carefully pulling his diaper over to oneside so his member was free of the padding but still covered enough.  Charlie looked down and blushed as he what Melanie wanted, his blush only going deeper as he saw what she was doing with her other paw.  Melanie was doing the same thing with her diaper, nudging and figiting with it enough so her loins were available.  With both of their respective genatalia freed, Melanie slowly wiggled herself to Charlie, panting softly as she felt his morning wood slowly glide along her labia and clitoris again.  Charlie blushed and murrmurred softly as he slowly rubbed his tip to Melanie's loins.  Melanie gave a soft smile in approval as she gently rubbed herself to Charlie's member, murring in pleasure as his tip was messaging and rubbing all those sensitive parts.  The two panted and gasped happily as they did, neither one realizing that Charlie's tip was finding its way inside Melanie again.  As if by providince, Melanie warmly accepted Charile's member again, wiggling herself to accept his tip and with a small push into her brother, his member entered her vagina again.  Melanie blushed as she didn't feel the same pain as last night; it was confusiong at first but she smiled.  Melanie was a virgin no more; she was Charlie's lover and they wanted those special bits of themselves to meet and stay in union.  Charlie softly panted and licked Melanie's neck as he slowly rocked himself into Melanie, his member thrusting in and out of Melanie.  His sister and lover gasped and smiled happily as she bobbed herself up and down on Charlie as his member was worming its way into the right place, that most special of place where the most mysterious parts of Charlie and Melanie were able to meet.  Charlie softly lapped Melanie's neck and muzzle as he slowly thrusted in to her, focusing on pleasing her as she remained asleep.  Melanie didn't want this intense dream to end as Charlie started to dig deeper into her, holding her tight as his passion was growing.

"Mmmph," Melanie gasped in her sleep, "K-Kit, breed me!  Y-yes, that's it!"  Charlie was encouraged as he pushed himself into Melanie harder, his pre-cum already slicking Melanie's passage as he rocked himself into her deeper.  Their need to mate and copulate together was strong as Melanie now started to rub her clitoris which was just covered enough by the diaper to get stimulated by rubbing its padding to it.  She started to gasp and pant lustfully as Charlie was pushing hard and deep into Melanie, the two crying and gasping in passion as Melanie started to ride on Charlie's knot, slowly humping against it until she felt that satisfying 'pop' of her brother tying her again.  When Melanie felt his knot keep them together, she barked in her sleep and started to bob hard, pawing her clitoris through her padding as Charlie pressed himself hard into Melanie.  The two gasped hard as the later stages of the mating dance occured.  Their sensations and need were starting to peak, the kits' dance becoming more intense as they rocked the bed in their dance.

"M-Mel!" Charlie cried out, "I-I'm gonna seed you!"  Charlie gasped and panted hard as Melanie rubbed and humped hard into Charlie, feeling his shivers and warming him up by bumping hard into him.  Charlie yelped softly as he felt himself hilt and dock with Melanie, pressing hard into Melanie as he kept humping until right at the alarm's ring, the two barked loudly and passionately as they met their climax.  Charlie humped deep as he could go into Melanie as he felt the tingle of his seed squirting deep inside of Melanie once again.  Charlie panted and sighed in relief and happiness as he felt his release into Melanie, making sure his special delivery made it to its intended address.  Melanie squeaked after she had barked, riding her climax with Charlie as she now started to awake, her climax making her fully alert as she looked down on the situation.  She couldn't believe that she wanted Charlie to do this with her in the wee hours; though she had disbelief, she smiled knowing it was exactly what she wanted.  No, it was more than what she wanted, they had sex while they were still in diapers.  It was a fantasy she had ever since she was sneaky enough to find stories of diaperfur and babyfurs.  Those stories seemed strange at first but she started to like the idea; but once again, her slightly more innocent brother was taking the lead.  It was a good surprise that they experienced such a morning wake up. Now awake and seeing the sticky mess, Melanie leaned her head over and kissed Charlie's cheek with a soft coo.

"Kit, did we do this?" Melanie blushed softly as they basked in the afterglow.

"Uh...uh huhs," Charlie nodded and kissed happily, "Suppose that give you a good dream?"  Melanie smiled sheepishly and nodded in agreement.

"And a naughty fantasy," Melanie blushed, recalling her stories, "Need to thank you for it, Kit."

"Mel," Charlie blushed softly as they nuzzled each other, "You don't have to thank me every time."  Melanie giggled softly; maybe Charlie did have a point but Melanie just had a silly habit of thanking Charlie for anything he did for her.  She tenderly smiled as Charlie's knot finally untied the two and gingerly pulled their padding back over.

"There we go," Melanie cooed, "Because I bet you're about to pee anyway."  Melanie was right about that as the two both relaxed and felt their bladders unload, soaking their already wet diapers with a satifying murr.  When they finished, Melanie pressed her soggy diaper to Charlie's with a soft murr, wiggling herself back to him.

"Guess you were right, Mel?" Charlie nodded in agreement, "How would you like to repay me?"

"Think you have enough energy to play again?" Melanie blushed, panting a bit as she was still full of energy and need.  Their coupling opened up new feelings Melanie never thought she'd have.  While they couldn't do this constantly, she just had a little more go to before she'd feel normal again.  And what better opportunity than over their diaper change to let Melanie show her feelings for her brother and to fill her up again.

"I think Mel's very eager, isn't she?" Charlie blushed and nodded, "But I still wanna play a little more too before Julie arrives."  Melanie smiled as she gently climbed over Charlie, then patted his changing table and barked for him to follow.  Charlie slowly toddled over and hopped on up for her.  Melanie climbed up right after him and held him down with her paws.  She looked longingly at her brother as she straddled him, rubbing his chest as she undid his diaper slowly.

"Now Kit," Melanie cooed lovingly, "Stay there, and undiaper me right where you are."  Charlie shyly nodded as he undid her soggy diaper as well, the two wet pairs falling right on the changing table as Melanie carefully balled them up and tossing them into the pail.  The two gazed at each other as they reached for the wipes and slowly cleaned each other up.  The cool wipes helped to clean them up but at the same time, the soft tingle of the wipes started to reawaken their genitalia again.  They were so surprised they had such energy within them as they felt their need return.  After they were all cleaned up, Melanie actually reached for the baby oil, murring softly and lustfully as she covered Charlie's loins with the oil, then gave Charlie the oil to cover her with.  He was a little shy about playing like this over the changing table, but he was too curious not to do it as he gently put some oil over Melanie's loins. The two shivered as the cool oil hit their tender flesh, Melanie's eyes were gazing into Charlie with a longing need as she reached her paw for Charlie's member and started to message his sheath and tip.

"I-Is this what you've read in those stories?" Charlie blushed deep red as he murrmurred, Melanie's paw slowly working his member out of the sheath as she motioned him to stroke and pet her loins with the oil.  Melanie shivered as Charlie did bring the oil to her labia and clitoris, stroking and rubbing the oil into the sensitive flesh.  As Charlie's member grew in her paw, Melanie started to stroke it harder, making him pant hard in need as his fingers started to sink inside Melanie's opening, running the oil all along her.  The two were being driven crazy by each other and as they gazed at each other, they knew they were going to have to do something about it.  Melanie took the initiative, crawling over Charlie even closer, stroking his chests with her slickened paws.

"Mhmms," Melanie cooed and panted lustfully, "And now, I think your Melanie is going to show you how much she appreciates her lover."  Charlie shivered in anticipation as her gently straddled Charlie, letting her loins feel Charlie's oil-slickened member.  She shivered in pleasure as she felt his stiff shaft rub along her labia and clitoris, murring lustfully as she slowly rubbed up and down along it.  Charlie gasped and panted, gazing up at Melanie as she cooed softly.

"G-gosh Mel," Charlie gasped in pleasure, "Why does this make me crazy?"

"Because I love you," Melanie cooed softly, blushing as she told him that, "I know we are just lovers, but I want so much for it to be more."  Melanie gasped and panted in need as she rubbed herself up and down on his member, but now allowing his member to slowly part her open again and shivering in anticipation of being penetrated again. Melanie yelped in surprise as Charlie's hips gave a small push to worm his member into her.  Melanie gasped and murred louder as she started to ride her brother, gasping in need as she felt her brother's flesh move inside of her.  She smiled lewdly as she did, knowing that he liked being inside of Melanie like this, panting more as she felt his hips moving with hers, helping her ride on him as her paws reached down for his shoulders.  Charlie smiled as she did dig her paws into his shoulders, bucking back into her as she shivered and murred lustfully.  While she wanted to please her brother, he was a willing participant in her little morning routine.  She loved it, Charlie wanted to do this with her.  Taking this as encouragement as she humped into Charlie harder as they were further slicked with their pre-cum again.

"M-Mel," Charlie cried in passion, "I w-want this!  I want this with you!"  Melanie blushed furiously and panted hard as she bucked into Charlie deeply, shivering and panting hard and not even paying attention to Charlie's knot.  She only intended to ride him enough so they could pull out after they climaxed but Melanie was so much into her need to please and love Charlie that pushed herself right on his knot, popping it inside of her again as she rode him hard.  Charlie just kept pumping into her, feeling that sudden push of power again as his knot was inside her again.  The two gazed at each other in desperate need as they bucked and humped each other, Melanie riding Charlie like a bucking bull till at that special moment, Charlie once again came into Melanie, the two hitting their second climax in about an hour.  This time, they were able to flush themselves out well as Charlie pressed his seed deep into Melanie.  The two roiled in their wave of pleasure, gasping and barking happily as they felt those bits of each other change places.  The two were fulfilled in their changing table mating, Melanie laying down on Charlie and tenderly kissing him.  It was too late to take anything back, both kits knew it but they didn't regret it.  They didn't know why it was each other they wanted, not anyone else but they didn't want to think about it as they knew it would only come back to each other.  Melanie blushed though as she saw his knot buried into her.

"S-sorry Kit," Melanie blushed as she gazed at Charlie, "I didn't want to ride you that hard but...I just wanted your knot again."

"M-Mel, it's okay," Charlie blushed softly as he petted her hair, "Sometimes things don't go as you planned...though maybe we do need to be careful in a situation like this; it'd be easy to get caught if we tied."  Melanie blushed and nodded; she knew it already but she was so filled with want that she didn't care. But once again, her brother had a point.  It would be very awkward and risky if they did tie all the time.

"I know, Kit," Melanie blushed, "Part of our promise then?" Charlie nodded in agreement and kissed her lips softly.

"Mhmm, I think so," Charlie nodded, "I made it because I care for you...and I don't want to see us hurt."  Melanie cried a bit as Charlie told her why he made the promise; Charlie really did care for her.  He wanted to be intimate with her as much as they wanted, but they knew from stories already that it could also be a tragedy, too.  And...Charlie and Melanie wanted to make sure this was about more than lust or mating too.

"Kit, you'd make a good husband," Melanie cooed, "You might have mom's fur but...daddy gave you everything else."  Charlie blushed softly as he gazed at Melanie as he petted her tenderly.

"Even if it was...another cute girl?" Charlie asked shyly.

"Any girl would be lucky to have you, Kit," Melanie cooed a little sadly, "But if you did...I almost feel like there'd be something missing in my life."

"You mean?"

"Kit...did you say in your dream that dream-state me told you we complimented each other, that we weren't afraid of our special needs, and that all our success were because we did things together?" Melanie asked shyly.

"I did," Charlie blushed softly, "And dad told me a few times where I completely ignored other girls, too, even if they thought I was cute or if I could be their big kit."  Melanie giggled a bit and smiled.

"Well Kit," Melanie cooed, "You did promise we'd court each other all summer long.  It doesn't have to be all naughty kits mating either...I loved yesterday where we were in our little kit mindspace.  I really enjoyed it."  Charlie and Melanie nodded softly and gave each other a reassuring kiss as Melanie was able to pull out of Charlie, then finished diapering him up.

"You're right, Mel," Charlie cooed and smiled as they switched places, then snuggly diapering Melanie as well, finshing by kissing her diapered front.  He then dressed Melanie in a cute pink tee shirt and a denim skirt with little hearts on the back left side.

"Were you trying these on before daddy took us last weekend?"  Melanie asked cutely, "I guess we can easily pass as fraternal twins...kinda founds fun to do too."  Charlie blushed and nodded as Melanie dressed Charlie in a cute forest green tee and a pair of short denim shorts.

"I think someone likes my clothes alot," Melanie grinned as she led Charlie out of his room, then to the playroom.  "Kit, I know you said I don't need to thank you but...Thank you for our special night.  I cross my heart that this was just the start of something wonderful."  Charlie blushed and kissed Melanie's cheek as the playroom door creaked open and a wolfess came in on the two.

"Oh, good morning you two," the wolfess barked happily, "I just got in and it seems like I have two kits up bright and early."

"Hiya Julie!" the kits barked happily as Julie led the two to the kitchen, "How are you?"

"I am doing well, you two," Julie smiled as she started to get the eggs out, "I overheard something though, what did you two mean by a special night?" The two kits blushed furiously as Juile asked them what was going on.  Thankfully a special movie that they were deeply connected to emotionally was a good answer so Melanie ran with it as she started to get some milk out.

"I found a movie Kit and I really loved," Melanie blushed softly, "I thought we lost it but I found it yesterday.  It is a very special movie."

"Mind if I get to watch it with you two?" Juile smiled, "I'll make breakfast for you two while you get the movie, okay?"  Melanie nodded as she went off to get the movie.  Charlie helped Julie out by getting plates and sippy cups out, even for Julie.  Their wolfess friend blushed as he picked one out for her too; but Julie took in stride as she made omlets for all three of them.  Just as Julie was finished serving the omlets though, Charlie squeezed Julie's and looked up at her shyly.  He did enjoyed his special night, but he needed a little emotional advice.  He was confident he could keep his encounter with Melanie secret so as Julie stopped and covered breakfast to keep it warm, she knelt down to his eye level and smiled softly.

"Julie, promise this doesn't leave the room?" Charlie asked shyly.

"I promise, Charlie," Julie smiled, "What's on your mind."

"Is it wrong for me to be in love this soon?" Charlie mumbled softly, looking down at Julie's feet, "I don't know why but I have these strong feelings.  And I n-need a paw to understand why."  Julie was caught off guard by Charlie's question.  This was not the kinds of questions she usually entertained with the cubs she watched; then again Charlie was actually an exception for Julie and her mom, one that Julie really liked.  Most of the cubs Julie watched became like surrogate children for her but with Charlie she could connect on a much closer level; he was tutoring her in chemistry and science and she was doing her best to help him with his unique social needs.  Julie smiled softly and ruffled Charlie's hair, at least letting him know it's alright.

"I'm afraid there's no one right answer for this," Julie smiled, "An innocent schoolyard love...or a deeper, romantic one?"

"R-romantic," Charlie bit his lip as he gazed at Julie, "My friend and I...can't figure it out and we're trying to make sure we're not imagining things."

"Charlie, love like anything else takes time," Julie smiled as she hugged Charlie, "And my advice to my best friend is this; if you and your friend are doing it for the right reasons, it's never too young.  Although I wish people wouldn't force cubs to wait if it was for the right reasons."

"Right reasons?"

"Sadly yes," Julie sighed and noddled, "There are some cases where one takes advantage of the other for whatever reason...or they don't want a relationship and force themselves on their friend.  It's wrong, it's hurting and it's very painful...and in some cases, especially the forced relationships, a crime."  Charlie's eyes opened wide as Charlie heard her answer.  It was courage enough that Charlie was already asking Julie for help with his newfound feelings, but to find out the bad things about relationships beyond what he's heard about the Burundis really scared him.  Charlie hugged Julie tight, wanting to be comforted by his kitsitter and Julie happily reciprocated and kept him warm and snuggly in her arms.

"You sound...as if you saw it before," Charlie mumbled softly.

"Sadly yes, again," Julie nodded, "I saw it once before...those student-athletes seem to get away with too much.  I just wish I could have the courage to report it; even then, they've buried similar complaints.  I've had a few of my friends hurt so badly and so deeply it's going to take them along time before they are comfortable being out again."

"You need help, Julie," Charlie nodded softly, "I don't know who Juile but maybe someone who can put the light of day on that.  I-I hope you don't get hurt like that; so many cubs need your tender love and care."  Julie blushed and softly gazed at Charlie with her blue eyes, even if she was just his friend, he was aware enough that he knew the cubs she watched would know something was wrong.  He would certainly know, too.  In fact, did she actually call him, Charlie, her best friend?

"I just hope that catalyst isn't another of my friend being hurt like that, being forced upon," Julie sighed sadly as Charlie squeezed her tight. Charlie knew this was hurting her deep inside and she wished so much for some sort of justice to be done.

"Julie, I trust you to do what you feel is right, okay?" Charlie softly cooed and hugged Julie.

"W-when you told me that you were having romantic feelings for someone, I was disappointed that it wasn't me," Julie blushed softly.

"H-how come?"

"Because, you'll always be a kit," Julie blushed softly, "You help me so much with understanding the world and to be honest...seeing you so happy still being little has made me curious."

"Welp," Charlie giggled softly, "My friend would be very jealous."  Julie blushed and nodded - Charlie's friend seemed to be really dedicated to him. Who could make him feel that way?

"If that's the case," Julie blushed as she gently kissed Charlie on the lips, "I will leave you and your friend be...though you'll have a jealous kitsitter."  Charlie just chuckled and started to get teh omlets out to the living room.

"Julie...you one of my best friends, too," Charlie blushed softly, "So welcoming for a young and smart kit to join the science club, unofficially of course."  Julie smiled and helped Charlie out with the drinks and sat out a big tray for Charlie and Melanie and of course herself.  Melanie giggled and leaned into Charlie as they started to dig into their meal as Julie make sure their trays were close enough for them to reach.  As Charlie as nestling with Melanie as their special movie started, Julie found herself nestling into Charlie, gazing down at Melanie to see how she reacts.  Surprisingly though Melanie didn't mind at all as she snuggled to Charlie, watching their special movie together.  The princess kit and her knight kit, a symbolism only known to Melanie and Charlie.  It was the private symbolism of how the two felt for each other.  No grown-up feelings or thoughts were in the room at all as they watched, Melanie nestling even closer as she held Charlie for his comfort and support.  Julie was watching the two closely, just watching how the two felt so warm and loved in each other's arms.  Just watching how Charlie and Melanie were so innocent as little kits...Julie smiled tenderly as she petted the two as the movie continued.  As the story reached its climax, the kits both had shed tears for the sad scenes together.  Watching Charlie and Melanie share such deep emotions from the movie, Julie started to wonder if Charlie's other best friend was his sister, Melanie.  If this was so, Julie wondered, was she the friend Charlie was talking about?  Julie just shrugged it off as they seemed to innocent and sweet together and when the movie ended the two kits managed to feel a little sleepy together.  Julie shook her head, but cleaned up the place and wiggled a cute pink blanket on the couch and gently guided the two kits onto the blanket.  She carefully laid pillows under their head and kissed each of them.  A kiss on the cheek for Melanie, and a special kiss on Charlie's lips.  Charlie's friend would be jealous if she knew...but Julie really cared for Charlie as much as Melanie did.  Maybe that's why Charlie was her best friend; he was many things that no boy at high school weren't.  In someways, Julie mused as she watched over the kits like a good mother would her pups, Charlie was more mature than any of them.  As the morning rolled on, Julie just sighed happily as she wiggled back into the recliner and started to take a nap herself.

The last few weeks haven't been too kind for Sampson.  So many mysteries were dangling over him and he couldn't take it.  It may have started with helping Kyle understand that he wasn't alone in his struggle and it was alright to like being a diapered kitten turned out becoming a reopening of old wounds.  After Rosalyn took care of her fussy mate, she went down to take care of their two children for a change.  Left to his devices, Sampson started to crawl around idly with no thoughts in his mind.  Last night was blank for him, especially after a very stressful Friday when he returned to work.  Between his boss having to chew out a few of his coworkers to a big rush job on his plate, his first day back after celebrating the end of school really got to Sampson.  And when he got home, he found that Helena was in a fight with her mate and was punched by him.  It seemed like he was falling apart when Rosalyn had to get him into a toddler's mindset again.  He liked being treated like a kitten, but sometimes it felt like a crutch now whenever he was having a meltdown.  Sampson needed a solution, a resolution to his inner pain, and maybe this time actually face what stabbed his heart so deeply.  As he fumbled around in his pajamas, he found the album again and looked fervently for the secret photo.  "What?" Sampson thought when it was not in the spot he found it. Did his wife find the photo and dispose of it?  Sampson fervently looked around for the photo until he found a note in the back of the album.

"Sampson, I know you found a secret photo in here.  I have hid it elsewhere in the room; do not go looking for it as I know you're trying to dig up things best forgotten."

Sampson was enraged.  Why would Rosalyn hide something like that; how did she know about the photo?  Why would she hide something like that since she liked Naomi too.  So Sampson became more determined to find that photo and try to piece what was going on.  Instead of searching like a nosy toddler, he carefully picked through the room.  The closet, his drawers, the chest by the door, almost everywhere.  However, he never looked in the top drawer of Rosalyn's nightstand.  He knew that she kept the door locked tight but he had long ago learned where she kept the key - in her favorite book on the nightstand.  Had Rosalyn wanted to keep the secret better kept, perhaps a location a little less relevant to the nightstand would have worked better.  As he found the key and turned it, he slowly and quietly opened the drawer and found that she didn't leave the photo in plain sight.  However he saw other things he thought he'd never in there.  His adult mind helped fill the gaps as he saw a fresh package of contraceptive pills and the odd condom as well as a note addressed to his parents.  When he picked up the note, he found the photo.  Determined never to lose the photo again, he slipped it inside his jammie top.  He needed a better place to hide it so he put it under his clothes for now until he could get out of the room.  However, he did read the note.

"Katherine and Saul Burundi,

I don't know what has happened lately.  My mate has started to feel the need to ageplay again.  I wonder if it's because of our son's condition or him showing that stuipd album.  But sense then, he's both experience the same depression he had after Naomi died...but has become sexually active again.  Thankfully he's only wanted to have sex with me but I have no feelings for it.  If it helps him relieve his stress, so be it; however I don't want any more children with him.  His scars make him unsuited for a larger family than we currently have and he only seems intimate when he's like a baby.  I'm also afraid that by looking in that album again he might start to look for the truth of his past.  I'm not going to clean up your mess and your mistakes, I just want him the way he was before a few weeks ago.

I found a picture Naomi hid within the album.  It's in the one place he won't look in our bedroom.  Either you need to be truthful to him or he's going to find out.

- Rosalyn"

Why would she do stuff like this behind his back?  Why would she only indulge him just to let him feel please...and why doesn't she want more children? He was a capable and loving father, even with his cubbish tendencies.  What are his parents so intent to hide something so important?  Is he the one in the wrong here?  Sampson sighed in anger as he put the note back in exactly as he hid it, but before he returned the photo, too Sampson went to read over it again.

"Sampsie,

Did you remember this?  I think it was the 10th time mom and dad yelled at you for peeing on the bed again.  So I thought I would share a secret with you.  I had to wrestle you down as I fitted you in my diapers - stubborn brother.  You were also shocked that I was strolling in just my diaper, my little nipples poking out of my flat chest and we started to talk about the names we'd name our kids.  You came up with Helena I believe for a first daughter.  I on the other hand, wanted to name my first kids Kyle or Jessie.  Though Sampsie, I liked all three and if we had three children, I would use all those names.

Anyway, that was a long time ago. However, I am starting to get suspicious that mom and dad might be hiding things from us. Remember when I was sick at the hospital and I had stomach problem...then it was gone?  I don't think that was what happened.  I've found clues here and there and I've pieced most of them together.  However I think Rosalyn, our caretaker is trying to please your parents and might be destroying or hiding this stuff so I hid all of it in my diary.  My diary is somewhere neither she nor our parents would find it.  In fact, one of our other siblings have it.  Ask them sometime.

I love you so much Sampsie...maybe we need to disown our family.  Otherwise I don't think either one of us will be truly happy.

- Naomi"

The letter ended with lots of hugs and even more kisses.  Sampson started to cry; Naomi knew something like this was going to happen.  Maybe not as late as it did, but it happened; his parents hid something from both him and Naomi and she was getting suspicious of what was going on.  He shook his head because if he was crying and depressed, then Rosalyn knew something was going on, so he decided for his sake to hide the photo under the note and locked the drawer up and put the key back exactly as he found it.  This knoweledge was going to eat him up unless he finally had his answers and he had a possible idea of who to ask. Kittens were innocent and pure of heart so they might be able to tell him the truth without a hidden purpose or a cause.  As he carefully got the room all tidied up and headed out he found Rosalyn with a grocery list in her hand smiling a little bit.  At least he was in an adult state of mind at that point so she felt comfortable enough to go without Sampson.

"Sampson, I am heading to do our errands, do I need to get you anything?" Rosalyn asked in a very matter-of-fact tone.  Sampson nodded and made sure his cubby suppiles were added to the list.  He could tell Rosalyn had a somewhat disapproving expression.  She never used to give him such looks if he needed her to keep his ageplay supplies stocked.  Maybe that letter was true; Rosalyn has changed over the past several years and he didn't notice it at all.  He felt like he had only himself to blame for his blindness.  Even still, she didn't stop him from adding those things to her list of stuff to buy.

"Is that alright?" Sampson asked as Rosalyn headed out the door.  Rosalyn just nodded.

"The kittens are in your paws," Rosalyn instructed Sampson as she closed the door.  Sampson sighed a bit as she headed out but instead of dressing up, he headed over to check in Kyle and Jessie who were busy play-wrestling on the floor of Kyle's room.  He usually didn't sit this close on what they were doing but he just sat down just like a cub and watched the two in curiousity. They felt so free and innocent.  They didn't have worry about the pains of grown-ups...nor did they have to deal with all the intrigue and lies.  Once the two kittens were out of breath, Sampson called for his kittens and snuggled them into his arms.  He was starting to envy them now as the two kittens happily kissed their dad's cheeks.  But as they found him to be a little glum, they decided to poke their dad's mind and find out what was wrong.

"Dad," Kyle mewed softly, "Something seems to be bugging you, what's up?  More bad memories?"  Sampson slowly nodded as he hugged Kyle tight.

"It is...but in a different way," Sampson sighed, "Can I ask something of you two? Promise that it stays between us only?"

"Daddy?  You seem to have something big to tell us," Jessie mewed sadly.

"I do, promise you don't tell?"

"We promise," the kittens nodded.  With the promise accepted, Kyle looked around and sighed softly.

"I found a secret photo in my special album, Kyle," Sampson told them softly, the two kittens nodding.

"What did it say?" Jessie asked.

"It had a note from Naomi that said that somethings in my life...your grandparents were trying to hide," Samson said, trying to hold his anger, "And mom tried to hide that photo from me.  I found it and from the full story, there's a secret diary Naomi wrote that she gave to one of your other uncles or aunts.  So, the big question is, did any of them tell you about it?"  None of the kittens could answer him right away.  They puzzled and thought about it until a light went off in Kyle's head.  Yes, Maya had shared something about a diary that was given to her mom, Helena.  It was a simple white diary with no lock but was entrusted to her by Naomi. Remembering that, Kyle decided to speak up.

"Not from my aunts or uncles," Kyle answered shyly, "But from Maya.  She told me Helena had a special diary that wasn't written by her."  Sampson was shocked.  Of all his siblings, Helena?  Was it because there was something unusual about Helena and Naomi trusted Helena enough to such a big secret.  In a way though, Sampson was relieved that it was in Helena's hands.  He started to remember that his parents didn't have that much love for Helena.  For the most part she was unwelcome in any family gathering; she Helena was old enough, she actually disowned her parents and emancipated herself, partially because she was a young mother but because she never felt that welcome.  So perhaps that made perfect sense why she'd keep something like that around.

"Really?" Sampson nodded slowly, "But how to ask her for that without getting anyone too worried about it?"

"Just let it come naturally, daddy," Jessie nodded softly.  "Maybe you'll get a chance when you don't know it."  Coincidences seemed strange but a door knock was heard from the front door.  Wondering if Rosalyn was back early, he padded up to the front door and peeked through the peephole.  It was Helena, who looked like was beat up a bit and crying.  While she was the one he needed to see, he could easily tell now was not the time.  His sister needed comfort from him and she only trusted him among her siblings.  He opened the door and stumbled back a few steps as Helena and Maya fell into his arms.

"Sorry Sampson, we needed to get away," Heleana cried, "We needed to see you. M-my mate is hurting us."  From what he had heard, Helena was getting close to the breaking point but was this all of a sudden or like his problems, stewing over the years?

"Make yourselves at home. Maya, want me to get Kyle and Jessie for you?" Sampson asked gently as he hugged the two tight. His sister and niece nodded as he carefully led them to the couch.  It was only then he saw a few cuts on Helena and a few bruises on Maya; he may have his own problems, but he made sure he took photos, reassuring them it's evidence that they were being hurt by Helena's mate.  Sampson needed to look after his sister and take charge.  The two kittens found Maya and gingerly took her to their rooms to comfort and play with her.  Sampson sighed softly; it was ironic that he was the one providing a caretaking service for once.  It seemed like this misfit kittens of the Brunidi family; Sampson and Helena, were falling apart in their own ways...and what they would find would soon dig up the dark marks on their parent's souls and the biggest wounds in Helena and Sampson's hearts.  But that was for later; the two needed each other at that point to confort each other, to help deal with their pains...and perhaps from their pain, start to find out things about each other they didn't know.

Kendrick finally returned home about mid-afternoon, but not alone.  Erica actually ran into him at the project site he was working on - by accident she claimed but she happend to know someone who worked for his firm so she found that he where he was.  While surprised (and probably a little upset at his coworker), he was actually happy to see Erica as they took care of groceries for Kendrick and his kits.  When they made it home, Kendrick was surprised to hear no response from the door so he unlocked the door and entered.  As he made it to the hallway, Julie had actually left a note that she was changing the kits, then taking them out to the backyard to play.  Knowing that they were already out back, Julie and Kendrick took care of the groceries and supplies before going out back.  Kendrick's mood improved as he saw the two kits swinging together, a paternal smile came over him as Erica found her daugther gently nudging the tire swing for the two.  Kendrick barked for his kits to come over and smiled.

"Kiddos, I'm home!" he called out for Charlie and Melanie.  Without missing a beat, Charlie and Melanie hopped right out of the swing and made it over to their dad, giving him a big hug and lots of little cheek kisses.

"Did you get homesick, daddy?" The two kits cooed and smiled, Erica watching and giggling as they asked Kendrick that question.

"Your dad gets homesick?" Erica smiled and fluffed Kendrick's hair.

"All the time, just ask him," Charlie beamed with pride at their dad. Julie finally caught up and smiled at the kits as they fondly snuggled Kendric.

"Tell me about it," Julie smiled and chuckled, "When they woke up from their nap, they couldn't stop tell me how homesick you got."

"So who's the kit, Kenny?" Erica teased, "Sounds like you."  Kendrick cutely pouted a bit as the two wolves started to get ready to go home.  Julie sighed a bit, she really wanted to spend more time with the two kits, especially Charlie but sometimes good things must end.  Erica gave Kendrick a warm hug and kiss, which was returned by Kendrick.  He was still a little shy but it seemed that Erica enjoyed their little shopping trip together.  Julie had to say her good-byes too, kissing Melanie on the cheek and of course giving Charlie a nice kiss on the lips.  Melanie blushed as Julie did give him the warm kiss...it was the same reaction she had when Maya was being flirty with Charlie. But unlike Maya she didn't feel as intruded upon. Is that because she respected Julie already and he treated her like a good friend?  Melanie didn't know at that point but she overheard just enough of their earlier conversation; Julie did promise to leave Charlie's mysterious friend alone so Melanie didn't feel as threatened. After they said their goodbyes the two wolves went on home as Kendrick hugged his kits again.

"How was your Friday night?  Did you two behave?" Kendrick asked the normal parenting questions.

"We were good, daddy," Melanie smiled as he brought them inside, "We had our little pizza night together and we found our old movie, too."  Kendrick blushed softly as they told him about the long lost movie.

"Are you two feeling nostaligic?"

"Well daddy," Charlie cooed soflty, "We both want to be little kits all summer long, would you mind that?"  Kendrick chuckled sheepishly, but nodded.

"Kit and I thought that maybe in addition to doing some studies and all, we spend more time giving our busy minds a break," Melanie nodded in agreement with Charlie. While Kendrick still didn't quite get what his kits were saying, something in him told him to let it be; his kits were growing up and if they wanted to be little toddlers at home, then why not?  He happily smiled as Charlie and Melanie went in to help dad around the house for the rest of the weekend.

On the way home, Julies thoughts were running wild from all that she talked to Charlie with that day.  Charlie was her best friend in the world now, she knew that well. But why was she telling him all sorts of grown-up things, grown-up feelings, some of the troubles.  And in his presence, she felt safer than anywhere else in the world?  Julie just didn't know...nor did she want to get in Charlie's way if he was trying to figure out where his heart belonged.  But the other part of her wanted her to just take that chance, to find out why she had such odd feelings for her friend.  Charlie was her best friend, and no matter what, she wanted to protect her friend.
