Kittens don't take long to bake, so it happens. Scrot, normally one off the more open and sweetly social felines you'll meet, goes into hiding, finding a spot under Dr. Lee's desk and...claims it

The Doctor is an important man! He saves LIVES! This desk is needed for those case studies from home? is he to give it up just so Peach can choose THAT as a kitten litter laying area?

The answer is yes. Yes it is.

Dirk is positvely troll level protective during these times. And his dad sighs and leaves it be

So it is, in a cardboard box with dirk's cleaner socks and in a shadowy underdesk latyer, Peach eventually gives birth to not one, not two, not three, but FOUR kittens! Which is an impressive litter for a female cats first time, thank you very much. They expected no more than three.

While it seems every damn kithain and kinian for a square ten miles wants to see the kittens, it is considered too darn soon. Peach shows a possessive side to them, which goes against her usual sweet nature

She even hissed at Dirk at first. The redcap was so proud he was almost moved to tears.

Many alpha predator tears

Of course, she ruins it by almost immediately forgiving him. It is too soon to say which parent each kitten will favor, heck, the sexes cant' even be confirmed yet, but some do have more visible , albeit short , orangish hair

"I hear orange runs more in the boys" Anne Marie says "But who knows?"

"I just hope they take after their mom in the brains department" Dirk declares, "Mic's an idiot"

No one argues that will wish.

Serenity makes sure blankets and warm things are given to the new litter, and Dirk is annoyed that the piskie somehow doesn't get savagely clawed

Poor Lovecraft must deal with the fact that the hairless wonder is getting all the attention, but then, she might not want it anyway!

In time, others will be allowed to see the new arrivals
