Send in the Clowns

Tommy, Cat and the babies had been home for nearly two weeks. He was amazed that his family, at least the parts of it that didn’t live nearby, had waited this long before the seemingly endless parade of members started showing up at the front door. Tina had let he and Cat know that his aunt and uncle from Myrtle Beach would be arriving some time later in the afternoon. As he waited for the pot of water to heat up to fix the babies breakfast he started giggling madly/

With a little yawn as she walked down the steps and turning the corner and into the kitchen.  “Good morning everyone.”  Cat said as she carefully sat down, her babies in her arms.  “What is so funny?”  She said cocking an eyebrow.

“Just thinking about something aunt  Brenda said the day we left for home,” the polecat boy said with a broad grin. “I honestly hope she was kidding… if not we may need to clear out one corner of the twins room when she does get here.”

“Long as she isn’t bringing a dingo or something like that.”  Cat said smiling and snickering a little.  “And what did she say?” 

“That with parents like you and me the kids would need a teddy bear to keep them company.” Turning and grinning at his mother Tommy asked, “remember the one she brought Jen when she was in the hospital when they took her tonsils out?”

“You mean Mr. squishy?” Jennifer asked bright eyed.

“Dear God I almost forgot that behemoth,” Tina said shaking her head a little.

“Is there something more that I need to be told?  Just how big are we talking?”  Cat asked cocking an eyebrow.

“Ohhhh…” Jeffrey began tilting his head back and looking to the ceiling. “Only big enough that when she came home I had to take out the window in her room to get the damn thing inside.:”

With a shy grin and a deep blush in her cheeks Jen leaned in close to Catherine’s ear and whispered. “Big enough that with the right… addition he was the best lover I ever had. Always did exactly what I wanted him to the way I wanted him to.”

Shaking her head slowly Tina said, “well that finally explains the reason we couldn’t keep scotchgard in the house for three years.”

“You know that you would have done something like that.”  Cat said with a little snicker.  “I mean I had a small bear that .I…..well that little button nose was….amazing.”

With a blush that out shined her daughters Tina said, “yea… well just as a head up… you better keep an eye on that crazy sister of mine. When we were younger…  let’s just say that thanks to her, I was almost a plushy lover instead of liking males.”

“We will give her Jen…..I’m sure that Sato wouldn’t mind sharing…..he seems a little kinky.”  Cat said with a little snicker…..”Oh….sorry if the babies woke you two up.”

“Not really, we were… sort of up already when they woke up at two am to bet fed. Sato is… an instant on kind of a guy, if ya know what I mean,” the polecat girl said winking at her sister-is-law.

“You know, you two might be why they woke up.”  Cat said with a little snicker before poking her tongue out.  “And you must be getting used to him….you're not walking as funny now.”

“Mmmmhmmm,” Jen murmured happily, a smile on her face as she looked at the stairs. “Speaking of my stud, he’s finally gotten his furry ass out of the shower. About time fluff tail,” she called to him as he came into the kitchen and walked up behind her.

“You know that it takes time to clean all of this fur….special that fur between my legs….someone gets a little too excited…”  He said smiling as he joined the others at the table, sitting next to his girlfriend.  “So did I miss anything.”

“Oh not much, just being outranked by an oversized stuffed bear is all,” Tommy said as he walked to the table, two small bowls in his hands, and sat next to Cat.

“Outranked?”  The akita said cocking an eyebrow.  “What does he mean?”  He asked looking over to the polecat that was next to him.  “Is there something naughty that you want to tell me?”

“Not really,” Jennifer answered as her blush grew darker. “It’s just that back before I found out how good guys could be… I kind of took care of my own needs.”

“You had a stuffed bear didn’t you?”  He asked smiling, blushing a little.  “I had one to for much of the same use.”  

Raising an eyebrow at her new boyfriend Jen said, “oh really now. So you were a fluff humper when you were younger?” Reaching over and putting her hand in his lap as he sat beside her at the table Jen looked into his eyes deeply and asked, “so who’s better in bed? Your little fluff hump or me?”

“I might just have been.”  He said smiling.  “And I think that I am now….I mean, your butt gets pretty fluffy when I get to teasing you.”  Pausing for a moment as he leaned over and kissed her cheek.  “You know you're far better….you make cute noises…..and squeak so cutely when you take the knot.”

“Saved by the door,” Jeffrey said rising to answer the loud knocking at the front door. After a few silent moments the rest of the family heard her father-in-law call to her. “Catherine… I think you better come see this for yourself.”

“Oh shit.”  Cat mumbled, getting up and looking over to Tommy.  “Come on.”  She said smiling and offering one of the kids to him.  “Lets see what we got.”

“You got it sweet lips,” the polecat said taking his daughter in his arms and following his wife down the hallway.

“What do you think that it is?”  Cat asked as she glanced back to Tommy before heading to the front door, slightly hoping that they were kidding about the size of the bear.  Coming around the corner, the caracal’s eyes lit up.  “Holy crap.”  She said looking at the sight of the massive teddy bear that was sitting in the back of the car, looking a lot like a person.

“That ones not as bad as I what I expected,” Tommy said as the couple walked out onto the front porch of their home.

Tommy’s uncle Stan looked at him oddly as he walked up to the boy. “Not as bad… oh the bear?” The older man said with a look of realization coming to his face. “Oh that’s not for the babies, that’s for Jen and Sugar. Your aunt knows a guy at home that… custom modifies them for sex games. No your and Cat’s present for the kids from us won’t be here for…” he said trailing off as he looked to his watch, “about ten minutes or so. You’ll have to see if you can worm it out of your aunt what it is. She made me promise to keep my muzzle shut, on threat of no sex for six months… so you’re out of luck with me telling you.”

“Well just where is that crazy woman at then?”  Cat asked, turning and looking into the house.  “Hey fluff humpers, there’s a gift out here for you.”

“I take it Stan ratted me out,” Brenda said as she walked up the few stairs, eyes locked on the caracal and the infant in her arms. “You’re going to have to bribe me pretty good to get anything out of me Catherine.”

Smiling and cocking an eyebrow.  “Really?  I tell you what….you tell me what you got us and I will let you hold Sam here.”  She said smiling.
“Good call Catherine,” the older female said with a sly grin. “But not quite good enough. There are two of them, and what is coming is really more for them than for you and Tommy. Though it will help to give the two of you a little more alone time when the cubs are a bit older.”

“Well you know I can make it so that you don’t get to hold either of them.”  She said smiling.  “Momma caracals get all hissy and have claws and stuff.”  She said smiling and playfully showing off her teeth.

“True, then again…” Brenda said smiling broadly and showing her teeth a little as well, “I can always call the store and tell them to turn the truck around and refund my money.”

“Ok...ok.”  Cat said pausing a moment.  “I will let you hold both of them now if you tell me…..and you can hold them as long as you want to.”  She said looking at the polecat woman.  “Hows that for a deal?”

“Deal,” Brenda said hold out her hands. “Gimme and I’ll tell you what’s about to come around the corner in a few minutes.”

“Ok.”  Cat smiling and handing over her little bundle.  “There’s the one.  Tommy, she needs Amanda…..and I need a camera.”

“Here you go aunt Brenda,”Tommy said gently passing his daughter over to his aunt.

“I got this,” Tina said as she came out the door, camera in hand snapping pictures. “Now what’s the big secret sis, you haven’t even told me what it is and that kind of pisses me off a little.”

“Yeah….. you have your arms full of fluff….so fess up, what did you get us?”  Cat said looking at her tapping a foot.”What Stan and I got our special little fluff balls here,” she said  cuddling the babies close and kissing their foreheads, “ is what’s coming down that street right about… now.” As she finished her statement the sound of a large truck lumbering towards them could be heard. Within a few moments it pulled to a stop at the curb in front of the house.

“This the Bradley residence?” the driver called out as he jumped from the truck and walked around the front of the vehicle.

“Yes it is,” Tina said turning to look the big bison man in the eyes as he walked up closer to the porch.

“Good, got a delivery for ya. Courtesy of.. Mr. and Mrs. Laissard for a… Mr. Sam and Miss Amanda Bradley?”

“That would be these two right here,” Brenda said turning and nodding down at the babies in her arms.

“Well if that ain't a pair of cuties I’m a pigeon,” the big brown furred man said with a chuckle. “Then I guess mom or dad will have to sign the receiving order. Don’t think they quite got the hang of that yet.

“Ok, all of that doesn’t answer my question.”  She said with a huff.  “I want to know what the hell it is…..so someone spill it or I will start chewing on someone.”

“I guess you would be mom then,” the big man said holding out a clipboard with some paperwork on it. “If you’ll just sign there wher it says receipt of goods, I guess I can tell you that it’s one of the biggest playground sets I think ever made. The assembly crew will be here in about half an hour to start putting it together. Shouldn’t take them more than about three days to get it set up.”

“I am.”  She said a little stunned, turning and looking at Brenda.  “Just….how big is this thing?”  Cat asked cocking an eyebrow.  “Isn’t it going to be a little too big for them now?”

“Not really,” the bison man said with a smirk. “Ya see it’s made so it can grow with the little ones. For now it’ll have cub swings and a kind of a hanging cradle thing big enough for the two fo them to be swung in at once. You can change that out with regular swings and the rest of the stuff, a slide, teeter totter and a bunch of other stuff. As far as how big…” the bison said looking to the side and at their back yard.  “I’d say your mowing is about to get cut in half.”

“Well that saves Tommy some work back there.”  Cat said smiling and snickering a little.  “Though it means that I don’t get to see him shirtless in the sun.”  She said smiling.  “And Brenda….thank you…..it means a lot to us.”

Walking up behind his pretty wife and wrapping her in his arms Tommy whispered in her ear, “I’ll take my shirt off for you just about anytime, anywhere sexy kitten.” Looking over to his aunt he added, “and yes, thank you aunt Brenda and uncle Stan. We still want to take them to the park sometimes, but it’ll be kind of nice for them to be able to play in their own backyard too.”

“Yes it will, gives you two a better chance at getting some alone time during the day too when they get a little older,” Tina chimed in with a snicker.

“That tone in your voice….It’s like your trying to get us to have more kids.”  Cat said with a little snicker.  “Then again, knowing you, you and grandma have some kind of bet going or something like that.”

“Not so much, then again…” brenda said with a smirk. “You have to remember that these are Tommy’s kids. And if they’re anything like their dad… I’m sure they’ll have lots of friends. maybe even a friend or two with benefits you know?  Besides, from what Tina and Jen have told me… you two may get a lot of late night use out of the swing set yourselves.”

“Well at least I wasn’t the only one that was thinking that.”  Cat said smiling and blushing a little.  “A late night ride on the teetertotter.”  She said smiling and leaning in to kiss her mate.  “So, Shall we head in?  Maybe get some noms?”

“Sounds like a good idea…” Tina began to say before she was cut off by the blaring of an air horn coming down the street. “What the fuck is that?” she asked pointing at another large truck stopping and backing into their driveway.

“Not sure if it has to do with that or not,” Jen said as she and the akita walked out the front door the house phone in her hand. “But grandma Ginger in Florida is on the phone and she says, and I quote, “I need to talk to your furry assed mother this instant.”

“Ginger? What the fuck,” Tina said taking the phone from her daughter and speaking into it. “Crazy woman, what the hell do you want?”

“And a fine howdy and fuck you to you too Tina,” an older female voice replied. “From the comment when the girl walked out with the phone I guess the truck got there before I called. So I’ll keep it simple for the stupid girl. After Brenda telling me much that great grandson of mine liked her hot tub, I thought that since none of you fuckers told me about him getting married I’d send him and his little kitten a wedding present. Late, but better than never.”

“No one told you because you’d try to haul your antique ass to Myrtle Beach and we both know you can’t make a trip like that on a moments notice,” Tina said tersely. “You want to talk to the boy… or his woman?”

“Put his little lady on , her I think I may be able to reason with, sure as hell can’t with the dumb sister.”

“Kiss my furry ass you old battle axe… here,” the polecat woman said holding the phone out to the caracal girl. “Catherine, this is Tommy’s great grand mother Ginger, she wants to talk to you about your and his wedding gift… I think.”

“Ummmmmm.  He….hello.”  Cat squeaked out as she took and held the phone, shooting a why me look at Tommy and Tina.  “This is Cat.”

“Cat? What the hell kind of a name is Cat?,” the older woman asked.

“Um Sorry it’s short for Catherine.”  She said trying not to let out a huff or anything that might offend the old lady.

“Catherine… with a C right? Hmmm nice French name, you a little French tart or you a good woman Catherine?” Tommy’s Great Grandmother asked with a tone in her voice the caracal couldn’t quite pin down.

“Well I like to think that I’m a good woman…..as for the tart thing, Tommy tells me that I’m sweet tasting.”  She said pausing a moment.  “Well come to think of it, I think that mom said something about us having French roots or somthing like that.”

“Well I guess I’ll know the truth of it soon enough. Welcome to the family Catherine, and don’t let that fool of a mother of his give you too much crap. For that matter don’t let any of this screwball family give either of you crap about gettin hitched so damn young. Hell his Great Grandpa and I weren’t any older than you two are when we got married and bred us up a mess of cubs,” the older woman said, giggling when she paused.

“Well. Ms. Tina and everyone has been so supportive of everything, and helping me through some things even before Tommy and I got married…..I’m really thankful of them.”  She said smiling softly.  “Maybe you should be a little nicer to her…..”

“Girly, the day I get off her fuzzy ass is the day they pat me in the face with dirt. Someone has to keep her toeing the line right? Besides, it never hurts when people think you’re a little touched in the head, means you can do pretty much what ever the hell you want and no one gets their panties in a bunch. But enough about nipple chips, this is about you and my boy Tommy. Brenda tells me you and him like those hot tub things… can’t say as I blame you. Those things are great for a hot soak or a hot time,” the older woman said waiting for a response from the young girl on the other end of the call.

“Oh kay……”  She said shivering hard.  “They are nice for a soak…..and you know that you’re on speakerphone right?”  She said looking at the others, giving them the save me look.

“Like I give two shits whether or not they like the thought that I’m gettin’ as much action as they are… maybe more,” the older woman replied with a snicker.

“Oh dear god.”  Cat said shivering again.  “Oh….You want to talk to her too?  Ok.  Tommy wants to talk to you.”  Cat said thrusting the phone to him.

Tommy’s eyes went wide as he heard his Great Grandmother say, “nice try girl, but I ain’t done yet so listen up. I know for a fact from his momma that Tommy is just like his Great Grandpa, and loves to give his woman a nice intimate bath as often as he can get away with it. A hot tub ain’t the best thing to pull that off in, too many prying eyes and nosey neighbors for that. So for a wedding present I got you two something a little more private. A nice shiney new jacuzzi tub… and a home sauna booth, thingy. Just one stipulation though. You and him take good care of each other, and them babies you have..That goes for any more that come along too, from what I’m hearing so far it sounds like you two will make great parents. Raise them cubs right, and don’t be all stiff and proper and shit when they get older and start asking you two about doing the mattress boogey either. Kids these days jump in the sack and have no idea what the hell they’re doing. They end up embarrassed and shit about everything, that shit ain't good for cubs. They need to be confident and strong, like Tommy boy is.”

“Well in that cause you don’t have to worry about that.  With a father like Tommy, they will be some of the best cubs out there….they will know about sex and being safe about it and everything…..they will know to use their Jimmy hats.”  Cat said with a little snicker.

“Now there’s a name for them I haven’t heard in a long time,” the older polecat woman said with a giggle. “I think I like you Catherine… and that’s something that don’t come easy. Tommy, she says you can hear me so listen up  youngun. If you’re anywhere near as good at those baths as Jeremy was… you better use them Jimmy hats yourself boy. Don’t be makin’ more cubs than you and your little lady can handle boy. You still gotta have a life for you and her when they’re grown and out of the house. Oh and another thing… I want some photos of my Great Great Grandkids… preferably while I can look at them and not propped up in my casket, you hear me boy?”

“Yes ma’am Great Grandma, I promise you’ll get them in a couple of days,” Tommy said stifling a snicker.

“I damn well better, or I’m coming up there and put a whooping on that furry ass of yours you won't ever forget.” The line went silent for a moment before she added, “and Tina, Jeffrey, it sounds like you raised a good boy with a level head on his shoulders, boy don’t let him backslide. Or the ass whoppin’ will be yours instead of his.”

“Ms. Ginger.  It’s been nice talking to you but I need to tend to Sam and Amanda, it’s getting time for them to eat.”  Cat said smiling and shaking her head.  “And thank you for everything.”

“Your welcome little momma, go take care of them little fluff balls, and that handsome man of yours,” the older woman said with a chuckle. 

“Catherine, she means well, but she’s a little touched in the head. You have to overlook her a little,” TIna said, thinking the older woman had hung up the phone.

“I heard that brainiac,” Ginger shouted through the phone. “You just make sure that boy don’t fuck things up you hear me girl?”

“Shit,” Tina mumbled under her breath. “Yea I hear you Ginger, and don’t worry about Tommy, he’s got this.”

“No.”  Cat spoke before taking Tommy’s hand.  “We got this.”

“All this family bonding shit is all fine and good and shit,” the driver said rolling his eyes. “But can someone just tell me where to drop this shit so I can get back to doing my job already?”

“Oh suck it up…..think of it as a paid break.”  Cat said with a little snicker.  “I was thinking in the back, near the backdoor.”

“Fine, works for me,” the armadillo said turning back towards his truck. “Don’t know who’s doing the install, but if it’s a problem for them they can take it up with you. I just deliver the shit.”

“What a dick.”  Sato said looking down at the armadillo.  “I think someone needs a new job….or be less of a dick.”

The armadillo paused, looking at the akita sideways for a moment as he pulled  the last strap off the load on his truck. Getting into the drivers seat he started the truck and engaged the PTo unit. Leaning out the window as he pulled the dump lever he said, “really? Then why don’t you haul that heavy fucker around the house big man?” before dropping the vehicle into low gear and driving away, the bed of the truck lowering as he went down the street.

Cocking an eyebrow as he watched, the moment the driver started pulling off, the akita bent down, picked up a rock and chunked it in front of the truck, the sound of a thump telling him that he had hit the glass or at the least the hood.  “Don’t worry everyone.  It’s my fault, I will move it to where it needs be.”  He said smiling and bowing to the group.

“Not really,” the bison said as he walked past them, several large timbers on his shoulder. “That guy is just an asshole. He’s been fired by three different companies in the last four months for his piss poor attitude. Mrs. Ginger called my company about the tub, but they were out of the one she wanted. So I know something he doesn’t. The installation guys for that will be here later today to get started on it. Afraid the couples bathroom will be out of comission for a day or two while they get it put in.”

“Well it looks like we’re bummin off mom and dad’s then.”  Cat said smiling and watching as Sato scooped up a load of lumber, following the bison.  “Damn girl…..big, strong and gentle…..you got a good one there….so thinking about having some polkitas?”

Rolling her eyes at her sister-in-law Jen said, “we’ll see. Bit early on to make a decision like that. Still not convinced he can handle me.. yet.”

“You haven’t broken him yet, and from what Tommy said….it’s been more than six months….and that’s normally how long it takes you.”  Cat said smiling and snickering a little.  “You know you want to tie the knot with him.”

“Don’t you have a couple of cubs to go nurse or something?” the older girl asked blushing a bright red. “I just want to be sure he’s the right one first,” she added under her breath.

“Yup…..someone has been thinking about it.  A nice family of polkitas…..them playing with our polcals.”  Cat said as she started walking up to the house where Brenda had snuck off to.  “A nice japanese wedding.”

“Yea… well at least no one will be naked at the beach for my wedding,” Jen said batting Tommy on the back of the hed. “Come on fuzzy nuts, aunt Brenda took off with your kids. Better go help your woman find her.”

“Yeah, you liked the idea of a lingerie wedding.”  Sato said with a little snicker as he walked past the group to get more of the lumber and other odds and ends.

“That… well that was partially because you promised you and your best man would be wearing only boxers,” Jennifer said blushing at her boyfriends teasing remark.

“Don’t worry…...we will talk him into that threesome.”  Sato called out as he walked into the backyard.

As the young couple walked into the house, the sound of paw steps echoing on the hallway a little, Brenda called out from the family room. “Don’t worry I didn’t steal the little ones. They started getting a little fussy so we came in here so I could rock them.”

“Well they're probably hungry.”  Cat said as she walked up and sat on the sofa next to Brenda.  “Can I steal them back?...well one of them at the time.”

“Sure, here take little man first,” the polecat woman said, passing the infant to his mother with a grin.

“Thank you.”  Cat said as she took the little bundle of fur, lifting her shirt, letting out a little squeak as she felt him latching on.  “Momma’s little man is hungry.”  She said smiling softly.

“These two are so adorable… it’s hard to believe they came from Tommy, he was such a dork even as a baby,” Brenda said smiling down at the little girl in her arms. “Now don’t you let mom forget to send me lots of pictures of you and your brother playing on what we got you two,” she said softly as she cuddled the tiny infant to her chest.

“Makes you wonder if they will turn out to be little dorks like him.”  Cat said with a little snicker as she glanced up at Tommy, poking her tongue out.  “And we will send lots of photos of the twins playing on the play set that you got them.”

“Yea… well you love this dork,”Tommy said leaning down and kissing his wife, then his daughter’s forehead. 

“That’s true.”  She said smiling as she looked up to Tommy.  “Want to burp and check Sam while I feed the other fluffy?”

“You know it,” Tommy said smiling broadly as he took his son in his arms. “That is if we can talk aunty Brenda out of the rocking chair.” Once his aunt stood up Tommy settled himself into the big wooden rocker, “I guess it was a good idea to have two rocking chairs. Glad dad thought of it.”

“Well when we told him twins….he though two of everything.”  Cat said as she was handed Amanda, purring softly as she held her little girl as she started feeding.  “Two cribs, two high chairs, two, two, two.”

“Yea. I kind of thought he was going a little overboard with the whole thing. Now I think he was smarter than we thought,” Tommy said walking over to the loveseat and sitting next to his wife. “I glad he did though, saves on trips up stairs when they get fussy.”

“Yup, but at least with the trips up the stairs I get to work off some of the baby weight.”  Cat said with a little snicker.  “And that means that you can do.”  She said smiling and poking at the polecat’s belly.

“I’m not too worried about that,”Tommy said smirking at the caracal. “In a few more months, when these two are up and crawling around… I’ll get all the exercise I need, and then some.”

“It’s going to be fun going after these little wiggle worms.”  Cat said smiling and lifting Amanda up and resting her on her shoulder, starting to pat her back softly.

“You know what we should do Cat? We should take them down to the park this evening. A nice walk for us and a little time out of the house for all four of us. Sound like a plan little momma?” Tommy asked leaning over closer to her. “What do you think little man, want to go check out the hot little cubs at the park?”

“Oh Tommy….He’s a little young to be thinking about that.”  She said snickering, “but I know that both of them are going to be little heart breakers.”  She said smiling, giggling at the little burp that came from the little furball on her shoulder.

“Yea, I know Cat, but he is my son after all.To think he won’t become interested in girls early would be kind of kidding ourselves,” Tommy said with a smirk on his face.

“Oh I know…..but I think that the only girl that he is thinking about is his mom.”  Cat said smiling and poking her tongue out.

Leaning over and playfully nipping at the caracals neck a little Tommy said, “he’s not the only one. I think about his mom all the time.”

“Oh I know, and I think about his dad all the time.”  Cat said wiggling a little, smiling up to him.  “Think that we should see if Studly and Sweet lips want to come along with us?  Then again, knowing them they are a little…..busy.”

“Knowing those two… probably more than a little busy,” Tommy said with a big grin. “Then again… I probably only hear them more now because I don’t have the sweet, sexy voice of a caracal in my ears to drown them out. But I have to give Sandy one thing, she’s going to be a really good aunt.  thought she was going to knock us both down last night when the twins woke up a little fussy.”

“Pudus are speedie little things.”  Cat said with a little snicker. “and she is just the cutest little thing when she is holding one of the twins….her and Jason both.”

“You mean Jason and that little cutie he had with him for the wedding are an item?” Brenda asked with a devilish grin on her face.

“More than that I think,” Tommy said snickering a little. “I think they go at it more than Cat and I do to be honest.”

“Think nothing….I’m sure that they do….it took them how long to go through the condoms that Shanoa gave them…..I think they had to get some from grandma and grandpa.”  Cat said with a snicker.

“Twice, actually. Even dad made a comment about not wearing themselves out in one night,” Tommy said giggling a little.

“Brothers through and through.”  Cat said with a little giggle, rocking the little bundle of fur in her arms.  “Kinda makes you wonder how many times they went at it that first night.”

“Knowing dad… both times Jason got a refill from him it was a six pack, so that’s twelve plus what he got from Shanoa before hand,” the polecat said with a chuckle, nodding to his wife. “I’ve got snickelbritches and I’ll take diaper duty while you get his sister changed and happy.”

“Ok Tommy.”  Cat said getting up and grabbing the bag from beside the sofa, pulling out the little mats, handing one to her husband and spreading the other out.  “Two diaper bags….two changing mats.”  Cat said with a little snicker as she laid Amanda down and started changing her diaper.

“You know,” Tommy said laying out the little changing mat and laying his son down on it. “Dad was right about some things, since these two got here, I have gotten pretty good at the whole diapers and changing them thing.” Slipping his sons feet-paws into the legs of the little red romper outfit he added, “Your mom picks out the cutest outfits for you and your sister… just wait until you have kids of your own my boy.”

“Jeeze Tommy…..talk about getting them to move fast.”  Cat said with a little giggle as she finished dressing up her daughter in the matching pink romper.  “I’m not ready to be a grandma, and I’m sure your mom isn’t ready to be a great grandma..”

Rolling his eyes and giggling a little at his wife Tommy said, “I didn’t say it would be soon sweet lips. Besides,” he said with a huge smile on his face as he picked his son up in his arms, rocking the infant a little as he spoke. “I was talking to my son, with the way you and his grandma went overboard… he’ll need a tractor trailer rig to haul the clothes home from his baby shower.”

“It was mostly his grandma’s fault…...mostly.”  Cat said smiling and scooping her daughter up, planting a kiss on her forehead.  “Ok….just a little of it was her…..and it would depend if he was having one...or twins….or a littler of thirteen.”

Tommy froze at the mention of a litter that large. Looking up to his wife slowly he said, “and… ummm.;.. just, just how many were you thinking that you and I will have, eventually that is?”

“Four…….teen.”  She said doing her best to not burst into a fit of giggles.

Smiling broadly at his wifes playfulness Tommy cradled his son in one arm, reaching over and pulling the caracal into his other and kissing her softly on the lips. As he broke the kiss, leaning back from her a little he decided to play along with her. “Well… I can’t think of any other way I would love to see you than bare-pawed and pregnant.”

“Then that means that you have to get out there and work….till the fields and all that….we are going to need a lot of food for our little army.”  She said smiling and poking her tongue out.  “I’m sure that I can think of a few other things that we can put you to work doing.”
