Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was a cold winter morning when a silver toyger was seen running to the old studio where he had spent countless hours with his first beloved. A true love that would never go away in his heart. He stood at the door of the studio with the note in his hand. It had said for him to meet Nyx at the old studio. Now with an anxious heart and an open mind, he moves into the place. He wanted to know what was going on with Nyx. He hadn't seen her in so long and had grew worried. He'd hoped that Jiji was treating his little sister right.


Nyx wrung her hands together nervously. The impossible had happened it seemed and she was terrified. She simply didn't know what to do and she didn't know who else to turn to. She remembered Dracal, who always took care of her and couldn't help it. She left bad having to ask him for help, after breaking his heart but she was just so worried, and shocked. She had come home from the doctor the day before and had sent the note straight away. She waited in the studio for her old boyfriend,nervous and scared.


Dracal walked into the studio with his heart still beating fast. One look of Nyx was all that took him to whine. He'd never liked seeing her scared or hurt. He ran to her and just hugs her simply for the sake of his worriness. "Nyx.." He whispered, moving a bit back to look into her eyes. "...Sweetie.. What is wrong?" He looked around to find a place for them to sit and grabs the bench that is nearby. He moved it so she could sit down besides him. "Are you hurt? Did Jiji mistreat you? I will kick his a** if he did." He said in a hurted tone of his voice. He'd hated violence but would fight for his loved one especially Nyx who he had known all of her life.*


Nyx looked up towards the door, seeing Dracal come in. She hugged him carefully, nervous and scared as she did so. She simply didn't know what to do. She shook her head silently. It felt so strange going back to Dracal after all this time but she had to trust that they could eventually go back to some sort of a sibling standing. "No I'm not hurt. Don't worry. I'm more...I dunno. He hasn't mistreated me. He's been wonderful to me..."she said softly looking up at Dracal with her big pink eyes. "Dracal...remember when I went to the doctors when I was younger and I was told that I was sterile. Well..." she took a deep breath. "Dracal I'm pregnant and I don't know what to do! I shouldn't be pregnant! I can't be but I am. What do I do?" she asked her, tears running down her face as she spoke. It was such a shock to her and she simply didn't know what to do. She hadn't ever thought about the idea of kits and it worried her so much. She didn't know what JIji even thought about kittens.


Dracal's eyes widened only for several moments. "Whoa whoa! Easy, Nyxy." He says to her. "Shhh.. Calm down." He just looked towards her belly then up at her. "..Bu.. But how? I remember going to those appointments with you so long ago. I remember the words." He flattened his ears slightly. That is when he puts his hands up to cup her cheeks. "You are gonna be strong. That is what you do, little sister. For the babies... the kittens within you." He wipes her tears very gently as his own were forming. He was gonna be an uncle.. Was he? It didn't matter now.. well. It does to him. But not at that the moment. He was more worried about her. "Nyx.. If you want, I will be there for you. Just like I was for mama when she was pregnant with you and the others. Just trust me.. I will be there. I want to be there." He frowned as it hurts him so much to see her like this. "Shh.. Does Mom know? Does anyone know besides me?"


Nyx shook, crying harder and harder as the news sunk in. "But...but I don't know what to do. I'm not meant to be able to be a mother Dracal. I was told that I would never be able to have kittens and now they tell me that not only can I but I'm pregnant! I don't even know if Jiji likes kittens! We've never talked about it, we thought we would never need to because we were sure we could never have kittens! What if he hates kittens?" she asked, tears flooding down her face. "I don't know how it happened...well I know how but I shouldn't have been able too get pregnant." She breathed deeply, looking up at Dracal with her pink eyes. "Dracal...what if I'm a bad mother?" she asked, crying. She shook her head. "I only found out yesterday so you're the first person I've told. I'm afraid to tell anyone else. They're going to be so angry..."


Dracal whined and does the only thing he knew. He took her in her arms like he did so long ago. He kissed the top of her head, mewing softly. "Nyx.. Please, calm down. You will be a good mother. They won't be mad. Just trust me on this, sweetheart. Please, little sister." He rubs her on her back to try to settle her down. "Shhh. We may not know what happened but it did happen. You will be a mother, Nyx. The fates gave you this chance to be one. Do not give up because you are scared. Face this as the strongest little ballerina I know. Where is the Nyx that I know would never let anything stop her? Where is that strong dancer that I see in you?" He asked as he looked into her eyes. "Mom is gonna be really happy. I just know it. Dad.. I am not sure but I'll handle it." He whined slightly. "You are not alone, Nyx.. You are not alone. You got me. I promised you so long ago that I would never hurt you. I would be there for you no matter what. No matter where you and I stand together." He nuzzled her to try to soothe her down. "Jiji will understand. He will be happy for you and him." He holds her in his arms gently.


Nyx took deep breaths, trying to calm herself. "Dracal...I'm so sorry coming to you with this but...I can trust you, you know?" she said, her voice shaking. "I never thought I'd be a mother. I'm not ready to be a mother Dracal, I just started my dancing career. I can't be a dancer and take care of kits. I hardly know how to take care of kits in the first place..." she mewled softly. She clung to him, continuing to cry softly. "I know I have to deal with this but...but I'm scared." she sighed before tentively putting her hand on her stomach. "But I agree with you...I mean I've been told my entire life that I would never be able to have kits and now, now they're in there, growing...but I'm not ready yet Dracal. Mama wont be happy. I know she wont. I don't know if I can handle being a mother...you know? I can hardly take care of my own health! What if the kittens have the same problems as me? What if they're really sick?" she asked him, clinging to him again. "I...I don't think I can do this..."


Dracal frowns before kissing her on the forehead. "You can trust me, Nyx. I won't leave you. I won't let you be alone in this. If Jiji don't want to be there, then I will be. No matter what." He says while frowning sightly. "Being scared is part of life. It is how we learn to face that fear." He nuzzled her gently, whining slightly. He was getting more and more worried. "Nyx, I hate to fuss you but if you don't calm down, you will cause the kittens harm, dear. Please.. Calm down." His ears perked up at her words. "I know you can do this. I believe in you. And how would you know if Mom will not be happy? I will talk to her if you want me to." He frowned. "..Nyx.. Maybe it is time for me to be around you more. I am getting worried about you, dear. I barely get to see you." He sighed as he knew that he would have to talk to Birman to see if he could spend the night near Nyx's place. "If the kittens do have health problems, we will know what to do. After all, we do have healers in the family. We have our family, Nyx." He reaches down to caress her on the cheek. "Now, please.. Calm down. Right now, you need to calm down." He says gently "I do have Mother's number if you want me to call her here... " He kisses her on the cheek. "Please, my little ballerina.. Calm down."

Dracal's ears flicks slightly due to the small noises made by the mice that lives in the old studio. They perked up at Nyx's words while he gave her a small smile. "Nyx.. Whether it was to be expected or not, it is still a good thing. I will be with you when you break the news to our parents." He still wasn't sure if their father considered him as the son or not. He puts his hand on her belly slightly. He didn't want to do anything that she didn't want him to do. "Nyx.. Shh. You will be a great Mother. No female is ready to be a mother. Did you know that Mom was worried and scared when she was pregnant with all of you?" He says gently, looking into her eyes. "I remember those nights when I slept right by her belly, wanting to be there for her." He then listened to her words once more. He frowned slightly. "No matter what, Mom will love you, my little sister." He nuzzled her once again. "I will worry as well. That is the honest truth. But It is not gonna keep me from being there for you. Mom will be there for you. So will Dad. Trust me on this." He couldn't help but smile at her next choice of words. "And Believe me.. I am really glad that you want me to be here for you. It is my way of making up for all of the times I couldn't be there." He caresses her on the cheek very slightly. His lips whispered the words. "You will be a great mother. I know it so. Nyx, please. Do not be so scared. Your babies will sense that. Do you understand?" His eyes closes as he kissed her on the cheek. "Things will work out far better than you think."

Dracal purrs gently for her before bursting out in laughter. "Believe me, Nyxy.. That is normal. That is VERY normal." He looked towards her once more. "It is normal to be scared and worried." He put his hand on the back of his head. "Hell.. Remind me not to piss you off. You are pregnant. It is not a good thing to piss off a pregnant feline." He was the one that is nervous now. He could remember countless times when their mother had her mood swings. He looked down at her belly, seeing the small bump. He just sighs gently, being happy for her. He nodded softly. "I do try to understand her point of view.. But at times it is hard." He felt his ears flatten slightly before looking into her eyes. "I understand. I am not sure what you would want me to do, Nyx. But I will do it." He hugs her gently then perks up at her words. "Jiji will still love you no matter what. He wants to be there for you." He nodded softly. "Your fear will always be there but you need to be strong as well. Fear is always a part of our lives, Nyx." He tilts his head slightly at her, is glad that he was allowed to touch her belly. "Tell me what you need or want, Nyx." He then knew that he wanted to be a father one day as well.

Dracal's ears had perked up at her laugh, missing that quite a bit. He nodded softly. "To me, you always been normal, Nyx. I never saw anything wrong with you. At least in my eyes, that is. Your health was just a way of making your spirits stronger." He frowned at the words about the doctors and shakes his head. "I can understand why. But they cannot underestimate my little sister. You are a brave one. The bravest kitten that I have seen. You always fought for your life with a smile on your lips. You always had so much love to give. Don't start giving up now, Nyx. I pretty sure that Birman won't mind you coming to visit or if you need a night away. You are always welcome in the park." He tilts his head while listening to her. That is when he gave her a hug gently. "Jiji will be happy. He will want to be there. But keep in mind, Mama and I will always be there for you. We love you so much." He nodded at her words. "Reassurance is always a thing that a heart needs in times like this, Nyx. You got mine. If you feel the need to be scared or to talk, Think of your big brother." He said with a smile. "That is if Jiji can't be there." His ears faltered slightly, giving her a small smile. "I only hope that I can get a mate and have a family of my own. You were the only one that I truly trusted with my heart, Nyx. You were the one that I had dreamed of so long ago..." He shakes his head. "Look at me. Still wishing for an old flame in my heart when you have found your soulmate in Jiji. Forgive me for saying those words, Nyx." That is when he knew that he would find his mother. He'd always went to her when he felt like love had evaded him. He just looked towards her. "Do let me know how things have gone with Jiji.. and with our family." He looked around the studio, remembering the times of her as a kitten wanting to be a ballerina.

Dracal would just chuckled at her words and nodded gently. "I believe you, Nyx. At times, I don't feel like I am a good male. But eh..It is not about me. It is all about you. You got a litter growing inside you.." He said while looking up at her, purring slightly. "It is wrong of me to try to bring it down." Her long tail flicks slightly. "It is good to know though.. that you still trust me." He tilts his head about the doctors. "The Doctors may have a point but do they know you like I do? You can do this." He reached in to kiss her on the cheek. "You call me if you need me.. even if during the pain of the labor. I will help with the kids if need be." He said with a wink. "And no, I won't corrupt them. If they want to learn how to fight, then they must come to me." He stood still, looking towards her while chuckling.
