Fluffing up the pillows on the couch, Chloe glanced around her apartment. She wanted to make sure everything was perfect for when Ozone and Rascal arrived. Everything had to be perfect.
"Alright, calm down. You're getting yourself overwhelmed," Chloe told herself. Inhaling deeply, the tabby cat exhaled slowly. She sat down on the couch and closed her eyes, repeating this breathing exercise. It was actually working, she felt calmer. More relaxed. She opened her eyes just as someone entered her apartment.
It was Ozone and Rascal.
"Hi Aunt Chloe," Rascal greeted the gray tabby as he followed his dad through the window. Hopping down from the couch, Chloe meowed, "Hi Rascal, hi Ozone." She took a seat on the floor. A moment later, Ozone sat beside her. Sitting down in front of them with confusion written all over his face, Rascal stuttered, "So... what are we doing?"
"Rascal, there's something Chloe and I need to tell you," Ozone began, clearing his throat. He wrapped his tail around Chloe. Placing her paw over the hairless cat's paw, the gray tabby cat continued, "Your father and I have been talking and... we felt like it was time you learned the truth. You see Rascal, I am-"
"You're my mother," Rascal interrupted. Shocked by how accurate his guess was, Chloe and Ozone looked at each other. "Uh, yeah. She is," Ozone murmured, "How did you know?" Raising an eyebrow, Rascal pointed out, "Come on, everyone knows. It was pretty obvious."
"God dang it," both Chloe and Ozone muttered to themselves.
