Cat's Love & The Secrets of Space: An Eric Singer & Tommy Thayer Story

Chapter 13-Spaced Behaviors (Eric Singer POV)

A/N: So excited for this chapter!

A month has passed, we've had a lot going on what with Harley's arrival, working on getting her settled, Kiss stuff i.e., music videos and releasing 'Sonic Boom'. However, it doesn't mean Tommy & I haven't spent quality time together like having date nights and all that and spending time with our daughter: Harley. Speaking of Harley, it just came thru, and we've celebrated...I wanted to officially make her my child, so I've adopted her. It thrilled my husband and Harley to no end and so totally worth it.

So as hectic and all as it's been here lately, I have been noticing how Tommy's behavior has changed. He's gotten quiet again, or quieter I should say. He tires more easily, is pale all the time now and his eating habits...well they range from eating ravenously to barely eating anything.

I am brought out of my reverie by the sound of Tommy getting sick in our bathroom. I had been watching tv sitting up in our bed and had thought Tommy was just going to use the bathroom.... I race in there immediately, god he really does look pale, and he is unaware I am even in the room and so gently I call out, "Tommy? Baby? You, ok? I'm worried about you."

"E-Eric, I-I don't feel g-good...I---," Tommy cuts him self off as he seems to pale even more, and I quickly rush to his side and hold his hair back as he heaves more of this stomach contents into the toilet. He comes up for air briefly before once more hurling and this continues for a couple of minutes till finally it seems like he's done.

Tommy is panting slightly and croaks out, "S-Sorry kitty.... ugh...so gross."

"Geez Tommy, don't apologize! Now here let me help you rinse your mouth out and do you feel up to a shower?", Tommy nods and carefully I help him up and rinse his mouth out and proceed to carefully strip him as he holds on to me for support. Soon he's naked and I quickly take my clothes off and make sure the shower is at the perfect temperature before helping my husband in and helping him wash and get clean. Of course, I use his favorite scent of Lavender and Roses, which I hope helps him relax. He looks like he could use sleep.

Soon I have him cleaned, his hair washed and help him out of the shower and dry him off and dry his hair for him and get him clad in t-shirts and a pair of sweats before I pick him up and carry him to our bed and putting him under the covers.

"Tommy, why don't you try & get some sleep. I'm going to go to the store really quick and get a couple of things that would be easy on your stomach." Tommy nods and smiles slowly and then I proceed to kiss him and mere moments after he is out like a light.

It's near sunset, I can tell by the slant of the light and the time on my watch. I pop on over to my daughter's room who is currently drawing away at her little desk. I knock on the open door and Harley immediately drops what's she's doing and runs to give me a hug.

"Daddy! Momma, ok? Momma look like he doesn't feel good.", Harley starts out excited and ends with looking worried.

"No, he doesn't feel good, he's sleeping now...we're going to go to the store and get a few things that might make him feel better or help.", I look down at her as we walk out of the room and then she asks a question that makes everything click....

"Daddy? Is Momma going to have a baby? He sick like if you have baby."

Oh, it all makes sense! Guess I am buying pregnancy tests too. I make sure Harley is buckled in carefully in the back seat once we get in the car and we take off to the store. It doesn't take us long to arrive and once there I get stuff like ginger ale, tea, crackers, stuff to make some homemade vegetable soup and some more broth and of course I pick up a couple of pregnancy tests and soon I pay for the stuff, take Harley by the hand and we head home. After putting up the soup stuff and all, I head upstairs with the tests, some ginger ale and some crackers and oh some sandwiches too. Harley heads back to her room and smiles at me as I open our bedroom door and find that, thankfully Tommy is still asleep.

I quietly place the stuff I'd brought on Tommy's side of the bed on a side table and then proceed to change into a pair of sweats and another t-shirt. During my changing clothes, I glance at the bed and Tommy begins to stir and his eyes flutter open.

"Mmm. Eric? You back already?"

"Yeah babe, I wasn't gone that long. You look like you could use more sleep, but here I brought some sandwiches, crackers, and ginger ale if you're up for it, as I climb up in bed with him. He grabs said stuff from his side of the bed and quickly proceeds to wolf everything down. I hope he can keep it down, afterwards he lets out a loud burp and then blushes.

"Sorry Eric, that was rude of me!"

"No Tommy, it wasn't and its all good!", I am getting antsy and nervous really as I wait for him to notice the pregnancy tests. I do so hope he is indeed pregnant, now hopefully we can expand our family even more.

Tommy at last notices the pregnancy tests and his eyes are wide as her turns to me, "Pregnancy tests? Do you think I'm..." Tommy trails off as he seems to realize and to my surprise, he throws his arms around me exclaiming, "Oh I am gonna take them right now! Which I guess it's good I got to pee! And oh, we could have even more kids, we would have 2 children or oooh I could even have twins!"

Tommy laughs and I laugh with him, happy just to see him so happy and so very animated. Tommy fairly sprints out of bed with the pregnancy tests in tow and fairly dances into our bathroom. While I wait for him to take the tests, I think...

Cat's do have litters or so they say, and I AM the Catman, so Tommy's excitable prediction just may very well end up being true. If he's pregnant period, I will be thrilled and I believe Harley will be happy about being a big sister.

A few minutes have passed, and Tommy emerges out of our bathroom and though he still looks pale, he beams at me.

"I'm pregnant Eric! Oh Kitty, this is amazing! Harley will be a big sister!"

I sprint over to him and take him in my arms, "I'm so happy Tommy! We're expanding our family even more!" We stay like that for a bit, just content in each other's embrace and happy to be having a baby, I take one of my hands and bring it down to Tommy's stomach and I note that it already seems a wee bit round and after a moment, I feel Tommy join me in feeling where our child is growing or is it children?

A/N: Can't wait to hear thoughts on this!! Tommy is pregnant! could it be with twins?....we shall see!
