Chapter 9
I sat on the floor in front of the tv, playing with my toys. I felt a sudden pain in my tail and I cried out.
"Shit!" Frank exclaimed. "I'm so sorry, baby, I didn't mean to step on your tail."
I whimpered, curling my tail around me as I rubbed it gently. Frank sat down beside me and gave my tail a soft kiss.
"Sorry, baby," he said.
I smiled, rubbing my tail against his face as he laughed.
"Why?" He asked.
"It feels nicer when I rub it against somethin'," I said.
"So you chose my face?" Frank asked and I nodded. "You're so cute."
I moved my tail away so he could lean closer to kiss my cheek.
"It's almost bedtime, sweetheart," he said.
I pouted and he ran his fingers through my hair.
"No attitude now, you got to hang out with Dallon all day," he said. "Now, let's go get you ready."
Frank held my hand and pulled me to the bedroom. I brushed my teeth while he brushed my hair.
"What pajamas do you wanna wear?" Frank asked.
"I wanna wear my pretty pink footie pajamas," I said.
Frank smiled and helped me get dressed. He got my warm bottle of milk and I curled up in his lap. I drank my warm milk happily, it always made me more sleepy.
"There we go, good boy," Frank said when I finished.
I yawned then smiled softly. Frank tucked me into bed, running his fingers through my hair.
"Goodnight, beautiful," he whispered.
"Night night, daddy," I mumbled.
Frank smiled, kissing my forehead as I closed my eyes. He left and I smiled as I snuggled up with Lola.
I was just falling asleep when I heard the loud crack of thunder. I jumped up, my heart racing. I grabbed Lola and my paci and ran to Frank's room.
I jumped into his bed and he looked at me in shock. I cried, burying my face into his chest. He rubbed my back and I was shaking as I heard another crack of thunder.
"Oh, sweetheart, are you scared of storms?" He asked I nodded. "Awe, you're the cutest little kitten ever."
I sniffled, clutching onto him tight.
"I'm here, baby, I've got you," he whispered.
"Thank you, Daddy," I said softly.
Frank's hand--which had previously been rubbing my back--froze for a moment before starting again.
"That's right, Daddy's got you," he said
I smiled softly, burying my face into the crook of his neck. I heard the rain start pouring down against the roof and I coward against Frank in fear. I've always hated storms, I used to hide under my bed when I was a little or cuddle up with Mikey.
Mikey was the only one of my siblings who actually liked me. I was the only runt out of all the litters and nobody likes the runt, even the runt doesn't like the runt.
"What are you thinking about?" Frank asked. "You got a little frown."
He rubbed the part between my eyebrows where it was furrowed and I giggled.
"I was just hating that I'm so little and only the runt," I said. "I'm so much smaller and slower than the rest of my siblings."
"What if you have kids one day and one of them are the runts?" He asked. "Would you hate that child?"
"No!" I gasped. "Of course not!"
"Why?" He asked.
"Because they're my child," I said. "And it doesn't matter if they're a runt b-because they're...they're still perfect just the way they are."
"And so are you," Frank said, kissing the tip of my nose.
I smiled softly, snuggling close to him as I quickly fell asleep.
The bed was empty beside me when I woke up and I whimpered. I got out of bed, clutching Lola to my chest. There was voices at the bottom of the stairs. I sniffed the air, I could smell another neko. I looked over the balcony railing into the foyer and shrieked.
"Babies!" I exclaimed.
They jumped and looked at me as I ran down to hold the little neko baby in Frank's arms.
"Hello little cutie, my name's Gee!" I cheered. "You're so cute!"
I kissed her cheek and she smiled. Frank and the other man chuckled as they watched me.
"Do you wanna babysit her today?" Frank asked.
I gasped, nodding quickly.
"Well, I'll pick her up later tonight," Frank's friend said. "Thanks again, Frank."
The man left, handing Frank a bag.
"We're gonna have so much fun together," I cooed.
Frank smiled as I walked to the couch. I sat her up on it and smiled, running my finger over her light brown--almost blonde--ears.
"What's her name?" I asked.
"That's Ruby," he said. "Her dad was called into work so we're watching her today. I'm gonna go make some breakfast."
Frank left and I cooed at Ruby again. She had the most beautiful blue eyes and the cutest little ears and tail.
"You're so cute," I said, petting her ear.
She purred softly and I giggled.
"Good thing you're here, I've never had to take care of a baby before," he said.
"Babies are the cutest," I said.
I kissed her cheek and Ruby smiled at me.
"Come on, breakfast time," Frank said.
I held Ruby in my lap as I ate and she watched us.
"Can Dallon come over?" I asked.
"Yeah, that sounds fine," he said. "You two have been dating for over a month now, have you told him you loved him yet?"
"No, you told me I should wait," I said.
Frank sighed. "I think that if you wanted to tell him you love him now then you can."
I giggled happily, texting Dallon. I finished eating and Ruby and I sat on the rug with toys. Dallon came not long after and smiled, giving me a kiss.
"I love you," I said.
"Really?" He asked with a small smile and I nodded. "I love you too, baby."
I giggled happily as Frank walked back in, dressed in his suit.
"I'm heading off to work," he said. "Dallon, are you able to take care of them?"
"I'm sure I can manage," Dallon said.
"And you're sure you know how to take care of babies, Gee?" He asked and I nodded excitedly. "Okay, well, I'll see you when I get home."
Frank kissed my cheek before he left and I giggled.
"Hello, Little Ruby," I cooed. "You're the cutest."
She gurgled, playing with her rattle. A red dot appeared and both Ruby and I stared at it. I went to reach for it and frowned when it disappeared.
"Frank told me you like the laser pointer," Dallon said.
I pouted, crossing my arms. Dallon pressed the button and a little red dot appeared on the floor. Ruby crawled over to it, trying to pick it up. Dallon moved it onto her leg and she looked slightly panicked as she tried to get it off. She started crying and Dallon quickly turned it off.
"Fuck," he said.
I held Ruby in my arms, bouncing her lightly.
"Look, Ruby, the dot is gone," I said.
She cried and I stood up, bouncing her lightly.
"Let's take her on a walk," I said.
Her dad had left a stroller and I put her in, covering her with a blanket. Dallon watched her while I got dressed and quickly walked outside with them.
"I would always take my siblings for a walk when they were upset," I said as Ruby started to calm down quickly. "We had one of those big strollers with four seats, two in the front and two in the back. I would take care of some of my cousins too. I love babies, I've always wanted children."
"Yeah? How many?" He asked.
"I don't know, maybe one or two litters," I said. "So, most likely anywhere from three to eight."
"Damn," Dallon muttered.
"Y-you don't want children?" I asked nervously. "B-because if you don't then I don't really think we can be together."
"No, of course I want children," he said. "But I've just never really thought about having eight children."
"I know it's a lot but kittens almost always come in multiples," I said. "My aunt had seven at once one time."
"That's fucking crazy," he said. "I mean, no offense, sorry."
I nodded, looking around.
"How do you know about nekos?" I asked.
"There was a family of nekos near where I lived, I was friends with one of the kids," He said.
I nodded my head, pushing the stroller. I couldn't help but smile as I looked at him.
"It kind of feels like we're a real family," I said.
"It does," Dallon said, wrapping an arm around my shoulders. "And I'm loving every second of it."
I giggled happily, leaning closer to him.
"And you would want to start a family with me someday?" I asked.
"Yeah, baby, I think I really would," he said.
"Really?" I asked hopefully. "Because I would love to get married to you in a pretty garden and have a bunch of little neko babies. They'll be so cute."
Dallon smiled, leaning over to give me a kiss.
I looked into the stroller and saw Ruby sleeping peacefully.
"Gee, you're so cute," Dallon said. "I love you. I was really nervous about the whole internet dating thing because I really didn't think I was going to meet someone I actually loved but I guess it turns out that it really does work and I'm really happy that I've found you."
"I'm happy too," I said.
"Good, because there's something that I want to talk to you about," he said.
I frowned in confusion as we walked back to the house. I laid Ruby down on the floor on a folded up blanket, letting her sleep peacefully. Dallon held my hands as he sat with me back on the couch.
"My mom is sick, she's really sick and I need to take care of her," Dallon said, "Which means that I have to move back to Utah. And, Gee, I want you to come with me."
