Chapter 4

Year: 2025

Date: 4/12/25

Loud clapping of bare feet filled the house, accompanied by giggles and long meows.

The noise abruptly stops, the sound of knocking replacing it. The creak of a door comes after.

"Mommy! Can I come in?" Finch asks the tall woman. "Yes darling you may, I'm working on something I want you to help me with."

The boy practically flies into the room. The orange tabby cat attached to the boys ankles.

"Careful darling, don't trip." The mother picks up the boy and sets him on one of the several stools at the workbench, Garfield hops up onto the nearest stool next to him.

Looking at the table, the boy sees an almost completed cat droid. It's chest cavity opened revealing tubes and wires. The realistic fur attached to synthetic skin is folded neatly next to it.

"Now Finch," his mother walks behind him, putting a tool and mechanical part in his hand." Attach this pump here, and tighten that cooler right there" she instructs.

The boy does as she says, his hands becoming stained with a green liquid.

As he pulls away he attempts to wipe it on his white dress, being stopped by his mothers hands.

"Young lady. You should never ruin your clothes like that" she hands him a grey rag. As he cleans his hands his mother gets the liquid that powers the android ready to insert into the cat droid.

Opening the mouth, she pours a full bottle of the green liquid in. Once finished, she observes the fluid filling the tubes within and around the droid.

Unfolding the synthetic cat hide, the woman closes the chest cavity and moves the limp droid.

Spreading it out evenly, she once again lifts the lightweight droid and sets it on the hide, which is cut to the shape of the droid.

She taps a button on the droid and the skin touching the droid merges into the droid.

Within a minute the droid looks like any normal cat, taking a long nap on the workbench.

Once again opening the mouth, she reaches into it and presses a hidden button, a gravely noise resonates from within the chest of the droid, as the tubes clear of any bubbles, cycling the pump.

Within only two minutes, the eyes of the droid open, and it's tail starts flicking.

Rolling onto its side, it examines its surroundings, and takes in the smells around it.

Turning its head, it sees Garfield, standing up, it approaches him, and mews at the fellow cat droid.

Finch raises his hand and pets the cat. His mother smiles.

"Her name is Booshie, what do you think about her?" The cats ears twitch, registering her name.

"Mommy I love her! She's so soft and adorable!" Finch screams, obviously excited.

"Lower your voice darling." His mother gently scolds him.

Garfield hops off to the ground, the dark grey cat follows, and Finch raises his arms for assistance to follow along.

His mother helps him down, following the three to Finches playroom, there lay scattered cat toys and Barbies on the floor.

His mother smiles at the playful cats, and deems it safe to leave back to work.

Walking away from the playroom she heads back to the office. Looking at the human android she took a break from working on.

Walking up to it with the tubes needed to pump the green blood, she inserts them into their respective areas, adding wires that act as ligaments and tendons as well.
....
Finch sits in the living room, watching a cartoon on the television, completely engrossed into the show, the cats sit nearby, supervising the young boy.

"Finch? Darling where are you?" He hears his mother call, "Living room mommy!" He replied, not taking his eyes off the television even once.

Entering the room, his mother frowns at the child. "Darling your posture is horrendous! Sit up straight, cross your legs, that is not how a lady sits."

"Yes mommy sorry.." he fixes his sitting position as requested, his mother pauses the television.

Darling you need to eat dinner, take a break from the television.

Finch stands, his furry buddies copy, as he walks to the kitchen with his mother, holding her hand.

Sitting on the chair, finch eats the soup his mother prepared for him.
...
Afterwards, she makes him a warm glass of milk, and puts a few shots of vanilla in it, giving it to finch, he drinks it all.

When he sets the glass down he immediately feels the calming effect of the warm milk, and yawns, obviously tired.

His mother carries him to his room with a smile, on the way he succumbs to the tiredness, softly snoring in his mother's ear.

Silently the cat droids follow, as she lays him on his bed, she finds a nightgown from his drawer.

Removing the white dress off of Finch, she dresses him in a red nightgown.

After, she tucks him under the covers, the cat droids not hesitating to snuggle up with him. Placing a kiss on his forehead, she moves his waist length hair out of his face.

Getting up, she quietly leaves the room, her smile dropping from her face as she once again becomes angry that her son would never live up to her expectations, because she wanted a daughter.

But it's okay, she just needs to keep him inside and raise him as a woman, one day, he will be a lady just as beautiful as her.

Taking a few deep breath's, she walks back to her office, now with coffee in hand, to once again work on her masterpiece..
