"Wow." Laffe bent down, his hand on one of the kittens' face. "He's adorable."

"She likes you." Alex noted.

"What's her name?" Laffe asked.

"She doesn't have one."Martha was sitting on the bed watching the boys. Laffe picked up the kitten. She began to climb his shirt, digging her small claws into his shirt. Martha shifted her position, she was in charge of them right now. "You can name her if you like."
Laffe looked up at Martha. "Oui please!" He never got used to the sound of yes coming off his tongue. Laffe studied the young kitten now.  She was white with gray sock like feet and a gray muzzle. She had blue eyes and a gray spot on the back of her tail. She seemed to smile at Laffe.
"Reine." Laffe said out of the blue. 
"Queen?" Martha asked, she knew a tad of french from Alex and Laffe speaking in it. "Queen of anything?"
"Reine de la Chaussettes." Laffe stared at the kitty as she climbed across his arm.
"Queen of.." Martha didn't know what Chaussettes meant, and was a tad confused. She looks at Alex for help,  but he was talking to Laurens. Laurens had a two cats chasing a laser light on the ground.

"They're so funny! And athletic!"Laurens' eyes were wide as one cat tackled the other.
"That's Philip and, unnamed." Alex sat next to his friend.
"Oh! Unnamed! Fun!" Laurens snatched the red kitten. He was red with white streaks on his body and a black spot on his side.
"Would you like to name him?" Martha offered Laurens the same chance.
"Tiger! Cause he's strong!" Laurens smirked, proud of his choice.

"And fierce!" Alex added.
Laffe looks doubtful. He had put thought into his, noticing the girl was the toughest of the bunch and calling her Queen, and putting in the socks as a bit of a joke. And a note on her adorable appearance.

"What about fierce then? In french?" Laffe was beaming at his friends. "Féroce!"
"I don't know. I like Tiger." Laurens murmured.
There was a knock on the bedroom door, it cracked open. Hercules was standing at the door, his eyes were puffy and red and he sneezed. Snot dripped out of his nose a bit.

"I think my allergy pill is wearing off." He sneezed again. Martha got to he feet and walked to the door, she put a hand on his shoulder and walked him into the bathroom. She opened the cabinet and searched threw the bottles, finding the allergy one. She opened it and handed one to Hercules, along with a tiny paper cup of tap water.

"that should do it for now." She smiled at him.

"Thanks. By the way, Burr's mom texted me, they are on their way." Hercules had an ipod touch, he had gotten it for his birthday, and he loved texting people.

"Oh great!" Martha exclaimed, though she was a little surprised.

"Burr's coming?" Alex asked, he had been on his way to get some graham crackers and milk from the kitchen, but the conversation had interested him to go further, and approach the bathroom.
"Yep! He said he wants to meet that cat you mentioned, Tho. Tho. Theo? Don't quite recall."Hercules shrugged and swallowed his pill.
"Theodosia! Ooh! He's going to love her!" As if on cue, the doorbell rang. Alex ran to the door.
"Aaron Burr!" Mr.Washington said.
"Sir." Aaron averted his eyes. Alex waved Mr.W away.
"Hi Aaron!" He exclaimed. "Whatcha doing here?" 
"You invited me." Aaron said.

"I do believe that is what happened, yes." Alex agreed.

"I'm here because you invited me." said Aaron.

"I just didn't expect you to come." Alex covered.
"I came to see Theodosia."

"Right." Alex brought his friend to his room to meet the cats, Aaron, as predicted, fawned over Theo, and the boys were all happy when they went home, everyone but Hercules bringing a kitten with them.
