Chapter Five: Sweet Thoughts:

Noiz sat at her desk and grumbled. Kellie just had to go and make things even worse for her, didn’t she? No one was supposed to know that she was pregnant yet. She and Mosh hadn’t even decided on what to do with the baby. The kitty buried her face in her hands. Probably too late to stop this before it all got out of hand. Best to try and attempt a little damage control. Noiz sat up and sighed. Where even begin on that one?

Suddenly, her cell phone rang. Noiz jerked her head around.

“What the?!?” she shouted. The woman looked down at her pink cell phone. She breathed to catch her breath. The woman picked up her phone and answered it.

“Hello?” she asked.

“How are you holding up?” a man asked on the other line. Noiz lightly closed her eyes at the sound.

“Mosh-kun,” she muttered. “Not so good, thank you.”

“That bad?” he asked. Noiz nodded to herself.

“Kellie told them everything,” I complained.

“Oh…” he said. Noiz sat back and sighed.

“Nobody was supposed to know about it until we reached a decision,” she complained.

“Yes, I know,” Mosh said, calmly. Noiz lowered her head.

“Now what do we do?” she asked.

“Okay, take a moment,” he said, calmly.

“Why?” Noiz asked.

“Please just do it,” the mouse said.

“Fine,” his wife grumbled. She breathed in slowly.

“Now,” Mosh went on. “Think positive thoughts.” The kitty frowned to herself.

“What thoughts?” she asked.

“Just positive ones,” he said.

“Like what?”

“If you can’t think of any, I’ll suggest a few.”

Noiz sighed to herself. Not like it’ll work anyway, she thought. “Alright,” she replied. “Hit me with them.”

“Okay,” he said. “Close your eyes.” Noiz blinked at the comment.

“Why?” she asked.

“Please do it,” her husband said.

“Fine.” The kitty closed her eyes.

“Did you do it?” her husband asked.

“Yes,” Noiz replied, still not understanding what he was doing with this.

“Good,” the mouse said. “Now think about spring time and the beautiful cherry blossoms just blooming for the season.”

“Okay.”

“You and I are on a picnic in the yard together. Just the two of us.”

“Yes.”

“All of our favorite foods on the spread under a beautiful sunny day.”

“Right.”

“I lean over and kiss you on the cheek.”

“Mmm…”

“Now to summertime and we are at the beach.”

“Alright.”

“You look really cute in your swimsuit as you run towards the waves for a swim.”

“Nice.”

“Then months later, you are holding a cute newborn baby in your arms in the hospital bed.”

Noiz quickly opened her eyes. “What? You mean… You want to keep the baby?”

“I decided that I will support whatever you decide,” he replied. The cat went quiet from there.

“Oh…” she mumbled. Her eyes stayed on her desk. “Is there anything else?”

“Nope!” Mosh chirped. “I just called to check on you.” His wife pressed her lips together.

“Thank you,” she replied.

“You have a good day,” her husband said.

“You too,” Noiz replied.

“Goodbye,” Mosh said.

“Bye,” his wife replied. They both hung up. The kitty sat back in her chair and groaned. Why does this all keep getting more messy for us?, she thought. Suddenly, Noiz felt sick again and raced all the way to the bathroom.
