âHey there Hettie!â Mercury grinned. âYour Aunt Zar and I have something we want to show you. Dâya have time to come to our den?â @ask-zararyia
@ask-zararyia
Hestia beamed at Mercury, bouncing up to her feet excitedly. âOf course! Dad and Papa are off doing their own stuff, so Iâve got loads of time!â
âAwesomeâ he grinned. âI hope you look your best because thereâs someone you will want to meetâ
âReally?â Hestia asked, running a quick paw over her fur to smooth it down. âIs it a new Jellicle? I thought Uncle Straps brought in all the new Jellicles?â
âIt might be, youâll have to wait and see.â He said excitedly. âOh, youâll have to be quiet when you enter the den, Zars pretty tired and we donât want to wake anyone up.â
âOkay!â Hestia said as she followed Mercury. She glanced at him with slight wordy in her eyes. âIs she okay, though?â
âSheâs fine, but our new family member is a little exhaustingâ
âNew family member?â Hestia gasped, her eyes going wide. âDo I finally get to meet them?â
âYes you do!â He beamed. They arrived at the den, Where Ace was waiting outside, shushing them with a paw over his mouth. âOkay, come in quietly Hettieâ Merc whisperd.
Hestia followed him into the den, her eyes adjusting to the dim lighting, and she gasped softly when she saw her aunt. âAuntie Zar?â
Zararyia looks up as her mate and Niece walk into the den, âHello darlingsâ she smiled softly. âHave you Come to meet little Bowie Hettie?â
The queen picks up a tiny black and white kitten and brings him over to Hestia.
Hestia stared at the kitten in awe. âHeâs so little!â Her voice was barely above a whisper as she placed her paws on her auntâs arm to look at Bowie.
She lowered her arms so Hestia could get a better look at the kitten. âWould you like to hold him?â
âReally?â Hestia asked, her eyes widening. She nosed at the little kitten, giggling when he squirmed at her touch.
âOf courseâ the older queen smiled. âHereâ she lowered the kitten into Hestiaâs arms, positioning them so she could hold him correctly. âThatâs it, nice and gentle.â
Hestia carefully cradled her little cousin, staring down at him with disbelief and awe. âHeâs so tiny! Are all kittens this tiny when theyâre born?â
Zararyia smiled âThey are, even you were this small onceâ she gently stroked the kittens head. âThis little one is rather small though, But hopefully heâll grow big and strong overtime.â
âWasnât Dad this tiny as a kitten?â Hestia asked with a little grin, glancing at her aunt. âSo that means that heâll probably be extra big like Dad since heâs so small now!â
Zararyia laughed âyour uncle straps always said that your father was tiny as a kitten and I was even smaller. He wasnât happy when your dad grew up to be as tall as he is!â
Hestia giggled, and she let out a surprised squeak as the kitten grabbed onto her paw blindly. âWhatâs his name?â
The queen looked over to her mate, âWe were thinking of calling him Bowieâ, she smiled. âAce chose itâ Mercury added, smiling at their eldest kitten.
