Water's Edge

[starsky]

Assiah had traveled far, her long swaying belly moving from side to side between her hips. She left the Renwick Forest Ruins to go into the city. It's a very long walk, but she wanted to do it. The pregnant she-cat waited, crouched on the rocky ground, waiting for traffic to go by and stop so she could cross into Farran Park and towards the Pond. Her dark eyes watched, waiting for the perfect moment. Finally, the cars stopped and she raced across the hot cement, her heavy belly weighing her down. Assiah made it across the street, panting hard, trying to catch her breath. Being pregnant is a lot of work, but she was happy to be a mother as well. As she spent time with her colony, the Sheeva's, she couldn't help, but think about Sharkbait every now and then. She hoped that the tom will be in the part today.


Dark paws touched the soft snow of Farran Park, the fresh mowed grass tickling her pads. The bengal she-cat stayed away from humans, ignoring them as some human kittens tried to get her attention. She doesn't really like humand, especially since the ones she had betrayed her, leaving her in a house all alone and scared. They had abandoned her and left her for dead. Assiah made it to the pond, crouching down and lapped at the crisp, cool water, quenching her thrist. Its extra cold because its winter. Only a small part of the pond wasnt covered in ice. She licked her whiskers and mouth before walking away and going over to a bush need the pond, a rather large bush. The pregnant she-cat laid down mostly on her side so the weight wasn't on her stomach. It's rather uncomfortable. Her eyes closed as she laid there, taking in the cool breeze that is coming off the pond. Maybe Sharkbait will be at the park.

Sharkbait pawed licking some snow off his paws the snow was beginning to get slushy now that spring was on the way. The Tom looked back around him nervous has always. He was getting better but he still froze in fear at everything. The black and white Tom was lonely most of the time he had not really found someone he would like to spend the rest of his life with there was always one she-cat on the back of his mind.

Sharkbait paused when that sweet dreamy scent hit his nostrils and he felt the butterflies fill his entire stomach around her he could be himself. He began to run dashing under some humans kittens. "Assiah!" He called it had been months since he had seen the most beautiful she-cat in the world. Their love was forbidden.

Assiah's ears twitched at the sound of her name and she turned her head and blinked seeing Sharkbait. It's been 60 days since the last time she has seen him. Sitting up on her haunches, she watched him quietly running towards her. Her swollen belly sat underneath her. Being in colony made her unable to visit the city. Running a Colony is hard work, especially when your trying to keep the down low,  not wanting to get caught by the Roshen. It's important that they don't realize the next generation of Sheeva's are on the way. She yawned, yawning her long teeth as she used her tail to move snow away from herself. "Hello, Sharkbait. It's been a long time." Assiah greeted him once the black and white tom was near her. She could tell he was crushing on her and she didn't mind it, though will have to break his heart. She is part of Sheeva and not him. What they did is forbidden.

He looked up at her with his wide curious light green eyes such a young and stupid cat he was. He remember fondly what they had done and the evidence was clear at the swagging of her stomach. He had convinced himself he was in love with her. Sharkbait greeted the she-cat with the touch of his nose to her cheek and letting out a large purr.

The kittens she held he would never get the chance to help raise them and though he was young it killed him. He tried to smile wishing so much that he could be with her but she had made it clear to him her heart laid with the Sheeva's and not with him.

"it's so good to see you" he chirped his voice breaking slightly has he hid his real thoughts from the she-cat. He was just glad for every moment he got to spend with Assiah the queen of his dreams.

Assiah slowly blinked her eyes and her ears flattened a bit when his nose touched her cheek. She knew he liked her a lot, but her heart wasn't set on him. He was just a tom that got her pregnant, though doesn't mind being his friend. She let out a slight purr in greeting before taking a deep breath. She blinked, feeling the kitten kick, clearly active right now. Must be fighting each other for space. It's almost time. 
"It's good to see you too. Want to walk me to Humming Bird Forest? I know, I haven't been here long, but I think it's time for my and your kittens to be born. I can feel it." Assiah explained to him gently. She didn't want him to feel because because she has to leave already. Getting to her dark paws, the pregnant cat stood and shook the wet snow from her body, shifting a bit. Slushy snow is not fun. It leaves to mud and then very dirty cats. She likes to be clean as possible. The Bengal stepped forward and licked the inside of his ear a few times before stepping away. A couple of clouds rolled over the sun, blocking the sun's heat that is radiating off of it and  melting the snow. Assiah turned and walked away, but stopped to look over her shoulder to see if he was coming.
