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

Chapter 17-So I'm having a Litter of Love. Part 1 (Tommy Thayer POV)

We've just left the doctor's office loaded down with as many ultra-sounds photos as possible. Got a lot of family to give them out too after all. In any case, I'm having twins! It just feels me with awe that Eric and I will have 3 children! Oh, so much to do! Thinking of ideas for the nursery, maybe enlist Paul to help? Go ahead and think of names etc. I am brought out of my reverie by the sound of my husband's voice.

"Spacing out on me Tommy? Thinking about the twins, stuff to do and all I bet."

I turn to him with my mouth open, "How'd you know that?" I mean seriously my husband has ESP.

"I know you Tom, I can tell what you're thinking most times and I was thinking the same kind of stuff.", Eric says side eyeing me from the driver's seat. I glance back to check on Harley who has been quiet and see that she's asleep clutching her Harley Quinn figure.

"Looks like Harley's asleep Kitty. And I think I could use a nap myself when we get home." As if to emphasize my point I yawn hugely.

"Don't worry about anything Tommy, I'll take care of things and oh Dinner! What're you in the mood for?", Eric's eyes are shinning such a clear blue.

Yawning again, I manage to answer, "Dinner...um I'm not sure right now."

"That's ok babe doesn't worry about it. Now let's get you home and you rest." Eric smiles, his eyes soft and sparkling. We finally get home, and I am still sorely in need of a nap. Harley wakes up, still groggy and declares she wants to go to her room and nap.

Before I know it, I find myself in bed with my husband, Harley back asleep in her room and I FINALLY give in fully to sleep.

I wake up a few hours later and feel the urge to pee. Eric is still asleep...mouth wide open and hair sticking up everywhere, but God is he adorable. I slip out of his hold and relieve myself and all with out waking him or so I thought....

"Tom? Where are you?"

"Bathroom!", I called back as I finished peeing and started washing my hands.

"You ok baby?", Eric asks walking into the bathroom looking concerned.

"Yeah, I'm Fine kitty, just had to pee really bad. And the babies are ok too!" I feel much better after a good nap and suddenly I am ravenously hungry. "Ooh, I'm really craving pasta.... that what is it Pomodoro pasta? Do we have that stuff, the ingredients?"

"Yeah, we do, you know we keep it well stocked!", Eric laughs. "Pasta it is then!" Knocks sound on our bedroom door and Eric & I share a look as we exit the bathroom.

"Come in Door's open sweetheart!", I call out as Harley opens the door and comes in our bedroom.

"Hi Momma, Hi Daddy...I came to check on you Momma and the babies!", Harley darts forward hugging first Eric and then me, but does so delicately. Harley is so adorable! And already a good & protective older sister. It warms my heart; she's being a kid and she's so full of joy despite what Amanda put her thru.

"That's so precious!!", I say which because of my hormones quickly brings on the waterworks. Harley looks startled. "It's ok sweetheart, it's part of being pregnant but I wouldn't trade it or you or daddy for anything. I love you! The babies are fine and so am I. Daddy took a nap with me. Did you have a good nap?"

"Thank you, momma! Love you too and love you daddy! And love babies! Yes, I had good nap. We fix dinner soon?", Harley asks eagerly. Eric ruffles her hair fondly.

"Just like your old man! Yes, we're just fixing to go down to the kitchen and fix dinner. We're having pasta. You want to help?"

Harley eagerly nods and so we all head downstairs to the kitchen and Eric gets started on the sauce and noodles and all, with the help of Harley while I help with dessert. Chocolate based of course, Eric loves chocolate, and I could go for something chocolatey. Brownies do sound SO good, so brownies it is!

I mix the brownies together and Eric and Harley are cooking away. Just so content to spend time with my husband and daughter as a family. I bring a hand down to my stomach, I'm carrying twins! Never saw that coming, but still, it's amazing.

The Brownies are fixed and, in the oven, and Eric who in between cooking kept his eyes on me tells me to go sit down and rest and I do so, propping my feet up at the dinning room table. I don't argue. I'm comfortable as can be for now, and I stoke my belly in thought.

These past months have really been a whirlwind, so much has happened. Eric & I got married, and I was still haunted by my past, But Eric has never pushed me, and I've never pushed him away like I'd thought. I FINALLY opened up and it's all because of Harley. Oh, Harley...I found out about her out of the blue and I was determined with out having met her to give her a better life. Sure, we still have issues here and there, but things have vastly improved. Since she's been with us, it's really strengthened my relationship with my husband as well. Now I find myself pregnant with twins, Cat's do indeed have litters it seems. It's a litter though of love, its just amazing expanding my family and giving my husband more children.

Eric and Harley enter the dining room after a while, and we all sit down to eat. Of course, Eric must kiss me first before sitting next to me and stroke my belly and if that doesn't make me melt. Dinner and dessert are so delicious and really satisfies my cravings! Eric is an amazing cook, an amazing husband, and an amazing father! The fact that I can call him mine, well that makes me realize how truly lucky I am to have him. I love him so very much! I can't picture my life with out him.
