The Birth of Jake and Corky's Kittens

John woke up in the morning hearing this dearly beloved cat Merlin meowing in agony. The cat had been doing this every 15 minutes all night, it seems like it's shorter intervals now since John woke up that morning to start his day.

"Are the kittens coming today, Merls?" John asked Merlin after he's done with his loud meowing.

Merlin looked over at his human father, panting and pacing around to show that he's in discomfort. He then tried to go into his litter box so he can try to alleviate his discomfort.

John watched Merlin for another good minute before gently shaking Cynthia awake.

"Cyn?" John whispers as his wife slowly woke up.

The woman lets out a groggily noise in reply, rubbing her eyes while she looked up at the man.

John then proceeded, "I think Merlin might be in labor. He's acting like he is."

"Go get George and take Merlin to his birthing spot." Cynthia replied to John before slowly getting up so she can get Julian and Sean up.

John got out of bed and made his way to George's room and smiled at his sleeping form in his crib with his fur baby Corky sleeping on top of him.

"Georgie, it's time to get up." John cooed why he gently nudged George.

George groaned while pulling his blanket over his head, causing Corky to wake up.

"Can I wake up in 10 minutes please?" George asked.

"But you'll probably miss your grandchildren being born if I let you sleep for 10 more minutes."

When George heard that, he quickly sat up so raised his arms so his older bandmate can pick him and his cat up.

********************************
After John got George and Corky out of bed and got George changed, he went to look for Merlin, with Corky by his side.

Corky walked over to his fiancé Jake when he saw him still curled up in his cat bed asleep.

The white cat nudged the orange and white cat to wake him up and mewed softly, "Jake, Merlin's about to give birth to our babies."

Jake stretched and yawned while he woke up, he licked Corky good morning while getting up. He walked side by side with him with his tail held high since he was so excited to witness his kittens being born.

A minute later, they made it to the area Merlin's expected to give it. The area wasn't much, it was only a cardboard box with a soft baby blanket George was willing to give, the box was equipped with bowls of cat food and water so Merlin can be energized while giving birth.

Once the cats made it to the area, John comes in with Merlin being nuzzled in his arms carefully. He was purring softly while being in his dad's arms because he was comfortable in that embrace.

The man gave his black cat a kiss on the bed before being placed carefully in the birthing area.

"Merlin, I'm gonna bring George in here so he can see the kittens being born, okay?" John muttered to the cat.

Merlin purred softly in reply and let John go get George before licking himself excessively while a contraction passed.

********************************
An hour later after George came out, Merlin felt the need to push.

"I think Merlin's giving birth." George remarked while he watched Merlin begin pushing out the first kitten.

John put on rubber gloves and had some warm water, towels, dental floss, and some petroleum jelly close by in case of emergency.

The cat meowed as loudly as he could as the first kitten came out. The kitten was mainly orange in color and a pink nose.

Merlin immediately licked the newborn and bit off the umbilical cord while it began mewing for the first time.

George gasped, "Grandma, our first grand baby is out. He's so cute!"

"Yes he is." John agreed while he watched the kitten begin suckling while his surrogate begin pushing again.

*******************************
After about an hour, all of the kittens were out, breastfeeding against Merlin and having Jake and Corky by their side. There were 5 in total and all of them were orange except one who was white like his father, Corky.

"They're all so cute." Julian said when he cane in to see the kittens. "Can I play with them, Daddy?"

John shook his head and chuckled. "They're too little to play with you Jules, you'll have to wait a few more weeks."

John gave his son a kiss on the bed while he put the towels in the washing machine. He had to use some when two of the kittens weren't breathing properly.

The man then heard his younger bandmate ask him from downstairs, "Grandma, can we have pie for breakfast to celebrate the birth of the kittens please?"

John chuckles while he went down to George. "Yes, we can." John told him.

George smiles from ear to ear and they went on making and eating rhubarb pie.
