Sometimes, miracles happened. A few weeks after Foxface joined the company, she found herself approaching Reedy. “I’m pregnant, and I don’t know what to do,” she said.
“Purregnant! Well, that’s new. I didn’t even know you had a mate!”
“We broke up recently. But I didn’t notice I was with kittens until now.”
“What a cad! Abandoning you without even waiting to see what furuits would come of the relationship…”
Foxface shifted her paws awkwardly. “I was the one who broke up. He wasn’t right for me.”
“…ah,” Reedy replied.

“Kittens! How wonderful. Hearthstone and I have always wanted kittens of our own, but we’ve never found the right time with all this adventuring. Perhaps we can help with the care, in preparation for our future fatherhood.”
“Thanks, Beechbreeze,” Foxface said, “but isn’t your time better spent out adventuring? You’re higher level than I am, after all.”
“Don’t put yourself down! You’ll never level up if you never adventure a bit. I’m sure everyone here will protect you, or maybe you could go whack some zombies with Cadence and Ebony. Helps get all the stress from parenting out, I’m sure!”

Ebony refused to help with the kittens in any way, though she agreed to take Foxface out on a zombie-smashing run if she needed a break once they were born. Cadence agreed to help at first, but practically screamed at the thought that they might slobber over her treasured puffle plushie. Thistlechase glared at her, but she knew he would come around once the actual kittens were born. She knew asking Emb or Clover to babysit was a terrible idea; Emb was too careless and Clover was too unlucky.
Smokey helped her get through the pains of pregnancy, with herbs provided by Hearthstone. She demanded only Smokey (and Beechbreeze, to run for help if needed) be there for the process of birth, but once all the kittens were cleaned and healthy, she happily showed them off to the rest of the Company.
