ALovedTwilight (7:57:27 PM): Alice had been spending so much time in bed since the birth of the babies.. Dhiren was too afraid to move her, or them, so all they did was change the sheets on the bed. Her children lay tucked up at her side sleeping. Despite what the young couple had thought… her complications came after the birthing. She had lost too much blood, and now barely was open for visitors. Her hair was less vibrant, but the sparkle in her eyes made up for it, she had done it… she had proven Ishtar wrong. (Who by the way had been over every other day to check on her since her water broke). She was pallid, it was true... however, despite her appearance, Alice was happy. Which in itself was a miracle.
Times of Dying (8:04:51 PM): The forest cat had wanted to visit her for a while--what with his own mate under the weather, his babies trying to take care of him, and rumors of the facility taking cats again...along with a few missing cats nearby[including one from his territory] he was on the move to make sure the woman was okay and to try to talk to her. It took a bit to convince Dhiren, but he was able to come in and see her finally, a small smile crossing his lips as he stepped up to the bed and gently petted her hair. "How momma?" Tempo questioned softly, hoping that he wasn't infading the woman's space with her babies by touching her hair. But he ddin't go for the kittens just yet...even if he wanted to. Their soft mews and snores were adorable.
ALovedTwilight (8:17:47 PM): A brilliant smile lit up Alice’s face as she looked up to Tempo, a hand lightly shaking as she reached for his other. “I’m alright, though I thought you would never come.” Tempo showing up was unexpected to her, but pleasant. After all she needed to ask him something, and she was slightly nervous at his response to it. “Ishtar says they are all healthy, I’m so pleased.” Leave it to Alice to leave out herself in the whole equation… but she wouldn’t give that information and scare him before he demanded her to.
Times of Dying (8:20:59 PM): "I'm sorry," he frowned, taking her hand and giving a soft squeeze, "Ji is finally up and moving so it's hard...and Dhiren almost didn't let me in," he laughed a bit, softly stroking her hand with his thumb before moving to sit down at the edge of the bed, mindful of her kittens as well as her. Reaching over to softly pet the top of one of their heads, he smiled, "What about -you- Alice? Momma needs to be healthy as well as the babies." He was very concerned about her, the kittens were of course important...but Alice was Alice. His best friend, his ally, his partner in crime pretty much[besides Ji of course].
ALovedTwilight (8:29:06 PM): Alice felt her walls being built up, hiding something from him. She didn’t want to worry him, but she couldn’t lie… not to Tempo. She lightly squeezed his hand and pulled back, giving a small smile. “I’m fine now, Nearly died during childbirth though… Ishtar had to pull me back. Later he told me it was from blood loss… but really I’m ok now. You should have seen Dhiren’s face though. I’m not surprised he’s being extra guard-ish around here.” No Alice could never lie to Tempo, Had Ji and Dhi not been in their lives… well who knew what could have happened, but she liked how things were now. Reaching down Alice lightly petted Bel on the head, marveling still how she had managed to give birth to children so beautiful.
Times of Dying (8:32:59 PM): Giving a small, unsure smile, he shook his head and slowly reached down to pick up one of the kittens, hoping it would be okay. Cradling them on their back with one arm, he lightly stroked along their chin and stomach, his smile widening. "I remember when they were this tiny," they being his babies. It was so strange. "They're gorgeous, Alice, just like mommy. I'm glad you're okay now...I knew I should have come earlier," he whispered, leaning down to touch his nose to the kitten's own, getting a tiny paw to his cheek and a gentle mew. "Feisty like mommy too...or is that daddy?" Eyeing her playfully, Tempo reached up to press his palm to the woman's forehead, trying not to see too obviously worried about her.
ALovedTwilight (8:38:26 PM): The female laughed, reaching down and plucking up a little girl that had woken up. “more then likely both of us. Though they are more stubborn like their father. We both know I’m never that bad.” She tickled the little girl under the chin, trying not to squirm when he touched her forehead. Alice knew what he was doing… Ishtar had done it so many times himself in the past few days. “I do hope Dhiren hadn’t started a war while I’ve been here., I’m relying on you to make sure he doesn’t do something stupid.” Alice laughed again, only half teasing, for she knew above all what Dhiren could be like. Holding up the little girl that scowled at being moved from her warm place to Tempo, Alice smiled brightly. “Guess what her name is.” Alice lifted her chin toward the little girl, blushing, hoping to get the conversation away from herself. (Something very uncommon for her)
Times of Dying (8:46:42 PM): Removing his hand from her forehead, he continued to cradle the baby against his chest before looking over to the scowling little girl. Laughing at the kitten's expression, he lightly took her from Alice and placed her with her sibling in his arms. "Mm..Alice Jr?" He teased, knowing he needed to ask about the kittens' names but he hadn't wanted to seem too overly eager to see the babies and make it seem like he wasn't there for alice. Which he was...even if the babies were damn adorable. "What is it?" The other sibling all but draped himself over the little girl he'd taken, gingerly licking at her shoulder while giving a high-pitched purr in her ear.
ALovedTwilight (9:16:01 PM): "Close but not quite love. Her name is Tempette, shes named after you Tempo." Alice lowered her gaze, her cheeks hot with the idea of him not liking it, of him not taking the complement well. She gave a small smile, petting the kitten closest to her. Which happens to be the one that bites everyone else... including their father. Silly little Bar had such a personality sometimes. She picked him up weakly, trying to focus on anything but Tempo and two of her children.She trusted him with them.
Tempette nuzzled into her sibling, enjoying their warmth and gave a soft mew at Tempo. She enjoyed attention... just like her mother. And she was exited to be held by someone new, someone with their mothers blessing that wouldn't cause her pain.
Times of Dying (9:20:11 PM): His mouth opened partially, as if to say something--but no words formed. He was far from upset or angry or whatever with the name..."I'm..that means a lot, Alice," he whispered, looking up to her with a bright, warm smile. "Thank you..." Really, he meant it. He'd never had the--well, pleasure of having anything named after him, or really anything that special happen to him before. Rubbing the little girls' head softly, he looked down to the two and smiled once more. "Tempette.." The name rolled off of his tongue easily, and it made his stomach flutter. "What's this one's name?" Be pointed to the boy that was still licking his sister, looked a bit bigger than the other siblings...the oldest, maybe? He couldn't be sure.
ALovedTwilight (9:24:46 PM): Alice laughed and set down the boy on her lap, her hands coming together like some housewife from the twenties while looking at a perfect thanksgiving dinner. "That is Beliel, Tempette is the most fond of him... is it strange that even at this young they have such distinct personalities?" She grinned and leaned closer without realizing she was doing so, watching, happy that he was happy and that she could be in his company. "I was wondering... if you would... you know... be their godfather?"
Times of Dying (9:30:08 PM): Shifting a bit, he moved to sit down beside her, stretching his legs out and making sure to not hit any of the other kittens. He set them on his lap as well, his tail lifting to curl around them as he reached over to pick up one more kitten, setting it in his lap as well. If he could hold all six he would...three would do for now. "Yeah, I loved that with my babies. Their personalities are so interesting as babies...but when they talk better it's even funnier." He smiled, looking up to her...before blinking. "Godfather?" He questioned, as if he'd heard wrong. "I'd..love to be godfather, Alice, it'd be..an honor," he sounded so old that he wanted to laugh at himself. But he just smiled, looking down at the babies in his lap. Godfather..he couldn't even imagine..
ALovedTwilight (9:51:37 PM): Shaking her head herself Alice gave him a smile, her eyes tearing up. She felt old herself, but then... she had never thought she would have kits, that certainly aged her a bit in her mind anyway. A tear dripped down her cheek and at the feel of it Alice started busting up anyway, crying and laughing at the same time. She rested her head lightly against Tempo's shoulder, closing her eyes.
"I missed you."
Times of Dying (10:19:23 PM): Looking up to her with wide eyes as she began to cry--he automatically panicked when people cried--he brought a hand up to wipe her tears away carefully while he petted the backs of the kittens in his lap. "I missed you too, Alice, I'm glad you're okay." Gently setting his cheek atop her head, he hummed and reached over to take her hand, loosely holding it in a comforting manner. He was touchy, okay? Especially with people he was close to, he just hoped Dhiren wouldn't freak out or something at him.
ALovedTwilight (10:26:38 PM): Touching comforted Alice... where not much else did, so if Dhiren didn't like it, he could shove it. She closed her eyes wearily, a smile still touching her lips as she leaned against him. His humm put her in a half awake half asleep mode which she only got into when she was completely comfortable around someone. Alice was either awake or asleep period. Nuzzling closer to him Alice drifted, while her children all began to awake. Wasn't it always like that?
Tempette whimpered, trying to stand and crawl away on shaky legs. She wanted to be noticed, even at this young. She bumped into two of her other siblings which got squeaks out of them from waking them up too. It was time to eat, play and be jolly
