C'mon, the hospital's about two blocks up..." She resumed > jogging. Tenchi sighed as he steped inside the air-conditioned hospital. The heat outside was un bearable, and the high smell of garbage hadn't helped. They headed into the main office, and 5 minutes later and a quick explenation about Tenchis arm, they were $1,000,000 richer. As they headed over to a hotel for the rest of the day, Natasha heard a faint sound. "Purrsian...." Taking a look behind the ally, they saw a Perisan laying on its side, its stomach looking bloated. Rushing over Tenchi tossed his trenchcoat off, and layed his shirt down on the ground. "Whats wrong with her?" "Um..shes pregnant." Natasha stood dumfonded. "You mean i'll look like that one day?" "If things...progress." She picked him up by the neck. "Promise you'll never make me look like that!" "okay." He went back to the Perisan, and laid her on his shirt. "Now just breath, and things will be fine." "Siian..." The cats tail swished back and forth. Natasha, not knowing what to do, stroked the Persians head, saying soothing things. Glancing about, Tenchi quickly grabbed a nearby Jigglypuff, knocked it out with a rock, and placed it in the Persians paw. "Now whenever you get a pain, just squeeze." She gave a meek nood. Time passed without meaning. The streets were empty in the begining, but soon a rather large crowd had gathaerd to watch what was happining. "PuuuurSIAN!!!" She yowled, squeezing the Jigglypuff. Another hour passed. The contractions were getting farther and farther together, as the crowd watched with anticipation. A loud screech scared Natasha back, but she quickly regained her composure. First came a head, then a paw, and finaly, a baby meowth. Tenhi congradulted the mother, as the audiance applauded. Nurse Joy came running up. "I couldnt get here in time, is everything ok?" Natasha smiled and healed the Nurse back. "Things are just fine." "How did you do it?" She asked. Tenchi explained that his mothers Persian and a niebors Persian were "Friends" and he had to deliver the baby wile his parents were out of town. Joy walked over to the mother Perisan, and noticed her eyes weren't open. Nudging the cat slightly, when she didnt stir, Joy looked up with sad eyes. "She's dead. The birth was too much for her." The crowd looked down sadly, and a few people removed there hats. Joy laid a nearby sheet over the Persian. "I'll take the baby into a daycare if you want sir." Natasha and Tenchi looked at her, as he stood up, holding the fragile kitten. "I'd..rather keep him if its alright." She hesitated, but nodded and smiled. The crowd slowly dispersed, as Tenchi, Natasha, and the small kitten, still in Tenchis arm, walked down to the pokemon center. The kitten opened its eyes slowly, and looked up at Tenchi. She purred softly, as he stroked her gently with his finger. He handed the Kitten to Nurse joy for cleaning, and to make sure it had no birth defects. As they waited, Natasha came over to him and put an arm on his shoulder. "My mother once told me.. The great kings of the past are in the stars. So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you...and so will I." He nodded, and wiped a tear from his eye before Natasha could see it. -NinjaMecha "Ahh!
