The Cat and The Dog.

Valic looked down at him and sighed before setting him down on the ground with him, "Well, you are one of my things now." He mumbled down to him and leaned over, biting a kitten ear.

Joshua flattened an ear, as Valic tried to bite it. "I'm just a thing?" He asked with a small smirk. "Oh, I see how it is." He dragged himself under the bed and huffed, curling up. He was just playing.

Valic reached over and pulled him out from the bed with a low growl, "Yes, just a thing." He teased before he pulled him over to his lap, "You're one of my several things but you're my favorite."

"Oh, that's it? Just a little favorite?" The small cat yawned and leaned forward, biting Valic's nose with his cute little teeth.

Valic scrunched his nose before he bit the other's jawline with a low growl, "Yes, that's all you are." He stated with a smirk on his face, playing with the other.

Joshua flattened his ears and gave a dramatic sigh. "I know...I'm just a little trinket that you may try to play with." He yawned and rolled around, away from Valic.

Valic looked down at him and kissed his cheek lightly, "Hey now..." he mumbled lightly, looking down at the other with lips pursed, seeing as he knew that the other thought that way before.

Joshua gazed up at Valic with his cute little eyes. "Meanie. You did just use me." He arched his back the best he could with dead back legs.

Valic sighed a bit and leaned down, kissing his neck softly before he ran his hand down the other's back while they sat chest to chest. "I didn't use you." He murmured out softly.

Joshua gazed over at Valic, not knowing Valic had taken him seriously a few comments ago. "I know, meanie." He said with a small yawn.

Valic rubbed his back some more before moving off of the other, looking at his stomach for a few seconds, as if to see if there was any development.

(Should we timeskip with them to when Jane notices?)

Sure. c: }}

Jane looked down at the sleeping cat, he was on the couch, gently rubbing his stomach with furrowed brows, it was strange. He was huge and there was a small little bump.

Joshua lifted a head sleepily as Jane felt his stomach. There was a good chance that it was cancer, from the feeling of the lump. But there were a few kittens inside of his swelling belly.

Jane frowned deeply at this and stood up, lifting the other up into his arms with a small sigh - seeing as he seemed so... Plump and then that lump. She grabbed Valic by the leash and lead the two out of the room. The little foster puppy was gone by now.

Joshua yawned and sleepily his owner. "D'ya think she noticed...?" He asked, gazing down at Valic walking beside them. "I am pretty chunky."

Valic looked down at the other and thought for a moment, "She thinks your sick because of a little lump in your womb." He murmured before leaning down and picking Joshua up with a small murmur while he lead the other into the car.

Joshua yawned and kept relaxed. "Well then she's in for a shock. Where are we going?" Joshua was terrified of the vet's, the one he went to would always prod him with needles. And examine every single part of his body. Once he found out where they were going, he'd need to be crammed in a carrier with a muzzle.

"Vet." Valic said with a muffled voice, jumping into the car and setting him down as Jane shut the door and went into her seat, starting the car up and he begun to drive. "It'll be okay though, it's a good place where she takes us."

Joshua paused at the muffled word and flattened his ears, eyes going wide. The small cat began to desperately paw at the window, claws scratching at the glass. "No, I don't want to go!"

Valic was pretty calm, lying on the back seat with a soft sigh, looking over at the other with raised furry brows, "Calm down, it'll be alright." He called over lightly.

Joshua jumped down and dug his nails into the car seat leather, hissing as he tore it up. It would cost a lot to repair. "I don't want to go! I'm not going inside!" He viciously tore the seat apart.

Valic shifted half human and grabbed the other with a small sigh, pulling him over with a small frown on his face - rubbing his furry back gently.

Joshua whirled around in panic and tried to claw at Valic, eyes wide. "I don't want to go!" He tried to bite his hand.

Valic held him gently and shushed him, kissing the other's furry head and allowing himself to be the other's punching bag. "It's alright, don't worry." He murmured out lightly.

Joshua kept his claws out, ears still pressed flat against his head. "Vets hate me! I don't want to go there!" He flipped side to side, stressing out--which wasn't good for babies.

Valic felt the car stop and Jane lifted up Joshua, holding him close while Valic followed, "I promise you'll be fine. I'll be there with you." He said reassuringly as they entered the vets - it was a new place for Joshua.

Joshua mewed pitifully, shoving his head into Jane's chest. His tail coiled tightly around himself and he dug his claws into Jane's arm.

Jane sighed as she brought the two in and signed them in, going and taking a seat, soon the two were called in and Joshua was set on a metal table with a cat bed on it. "What seems to be the issue?" The vet questioned, "His stomach has lumps..."

Joshua's eyes were still wide and he mewed softly, expecting to feel human hands feel around his body. Pulling his eyes open, shining lights into his eyes, shoving things into his ears and mouth.

The man gently pulled the other onto his side and gently pressed on the other's stomach with a small look of concentration. "Well, she's a healthy pregnant cat." He said with a smile, "But...That's a male cat..."

Joshua crouched down to the ground, tail coiled around his paws. He still stank like his litter box, which was a bad smell. He gazed fearfully at the vet.

The vet looked confused at this and sighed a moment, "Well, maybe he's special...He's a rare breed, it could be genetic." He muttered before giving a scrunch of his nose. "I'll give him a bath."

Joshua buried his face in his paws, not wanting to be given a bath by this total stranger. He gazed at Jane and meowed.

Jane gently pet his head, Valic pacing around on the floor while trying to look up on the metal table, eventually jumping up so hie paws rested there, head on the metal. "Who's the father of these little pups?" The vet questioned, petting Joshua's back gently. Jane looked at Valic, "I have my suspicions..."

Joshua shut his eyes, yawning as he looked at Valic. 'Dumbo.' He mouthed, shutting his eyes and leaned back, flipping over to show his swelling stomach. The small cat yawned.

Valic leaned up and licked the other's nose before he moved to the floor while the doctor scooped Joshua up to go and bathe.

Joshua instantly tensed up as he was carried and yowled, trying to claw his way free. "No! I don't want to go!"

Valic wanted to follow but was kept back as Joshua was taken into the new room and was brought to a warm bath where they were going to bathe the fluffy male cat.

Joshua stood up and stretched out in the water, dunking his head under. He tried to hide his stomach, and rolled around. "May as well enjoy myself..."

The vet pulled the now wet cat up and grabbed a lovely scented shampoo, pouring it on the wet fur, lathering the suds into his silky fur.
