Anneliese's POV

I went to my six week ultrasound and everything was going smoothly. But Serafina has been acting strangely lately sleeping in only her bed (when she usually sleeps anywhere) and has gained a little weight. "So what seems to be the problem Miss Logan?" the vet asks.

"Serafina has been acting strangely and gaining weight this last week. I haven't been feeding her any differently" I tell him. I am really worried about my cat.

"I'm sure it's nothing to worry about" he assures me. "Let me examine her" he says and I take her out of the carrier. He feels around her stomach and his eyes widen slightly. He guides her gently to roll onto her side to examine her belly.

"Well what's wrong with her?" I ask him.

"Nothing, she is perfectly healthy" he tells me smiling. "But she is pregnant, about 3 weeks I'd say" he states.

"What?! But she hasn..." I start to say and remember Coco. "Oh I know who the father is" I say grinding my teeth. "Does she need any vitamins or a special diet?" I ask him.

"Just keep up her nutrition, she won't really start to show until the final few weeks of pregnancy. Which is when she'll eat the most, cats have been known to get morning sickness and cravings. But if she eats anything that isn't food, bring her in" he tells me. "Later in the pregnancy, you may want to switch her to a kitten food that is formulated for growing cats" he adds.

"Sounds reasonable" I say stroking Serafina's fur.

"You will have to give her protein supplements as well" he tells me. "I'll write up the prescription" he assures me. "Do you want me to do an ultrasound?" he asks.

"Yes please" I tell him.

"Ok I'll go get the machine, but you'll have to hold her so I can reach her belly" he states. I hold Serafina close to me leaving her belly exposed. The vet returns with the machine and turns it on placing the wand on her stomach. "Do you see that?" he asks pointing to a small pulsing spot on the screen.

"Yes" I say nodding my head.

"That's one of the kittens heartbeats" he states.

"How many kitten does she have?" I ask.

"Five or six" he states looking at the screen as he moves the wand around. "I say she's about 21 days pregnant, which gives her about 44 days to go. Also you may what to get puppy potty training mats. Because eventually she won't be able to climb into her litter tray. Keep close to her birth box" he tells me as he turns the machine off.

"Where can I get a birth box?" I ask him.

"You can make one at home out of a cardboard box or buy one at your local pet shop" he states.

"I'd rather have a professional one for her, nothing but the best for my Serafina" I tell him as I place her back in her carrier.

"Well here is the prescription for her protein supplements, come back in a week for a check up" he tells me. I agree and go to the front desk to do both.

"How about Friday afternoon next week?" the receptionist asks.

"I can't do it in the afternoon, I have my own check up then" I tell her. "Can you do the morning?" I ask. She tips something and looks at the screen.

"Will 10:00 be ok?" she asks.

"That'd be perfect" I tell her.

"Here's a card with your appointment time and your cat's prescription. Have a nice day" she tells me. On the way home I got a birth box for Serafina and called Julian. He agreed to meet me at my house.

"So why the call Anneliese?" he asks when I arrive home.

"Just carry the box for me and I'll explain once we're inside"  I tell him. I carry Serafina inside and let her out of the carrier. She immediately goes to her bed and curls up going to sleep. "Where's Coco?" I ask him.

"Mother is looking after him today" he states putting the box down.

"I took Serafina to the vet today" I tell him.

"Why?" he asks confused.

"She had been acting strangely and gained a little weight" I tell him.

"You really do love that cat" he says chuckling. "What did the vet say?" he asks.

"That is pregnant" I state and he looks shocked. "But the only male cat she's been alone with in the last month is Coco" I tell him.

"I'm sorry he got her pregnant" he tells me.

"Like owner like cat" I say smiling gently. "Besides I'm sure to find them good homes and at lest it didn't happen later on in my pregnancy" I tell him. "Can you help me with the birth box?" I ask him. Julian helps me set it up in my walk in robe where Serafina could have privacy.

"You know my mother would love one of the kittens" he states.

"So would mine, lucky there is five or six of them" I tell him.

"Yeah lucky" he says smiling. "I'll get Coco desexed, so this will not ever happen again" he assures me.

"She still has 44 days of pregnancy, so no rush" I tell him. We spend the rest of the afternoon discussing plans for the kittens. Julian stayed over for dinner and we ordered take away. Then Julian after I promise to keep him updated on both mine and Serafina's pregnancys.
