To Capture a Heart

Chapter 12

"Wakey, wakey!" shouted Brenwen, cheerfully. I sat up and stretched my body. I was confused, normally Brenwen let's us sleep in. "My daughter and grandchildren are coming over for dinner! So let's hurry up out of bed, have breakfast and I'll get to making the food for dinner!" She cheerfully walked out the room and down the stairs, heading to the kitchen. Cori nuzzled his head on mine. "Good morning, my love," he said in the sweetest tone. I smiled and pecked his cheek. "Good morning, hun," we all got up and jumped off the bed, making our way down the stairs and to the kitchen. Brenwen made us breakfast which we wasted no time eating. She went to cooking the dinner straight away. Cori, Tanto and I all went to the living room, sitting on the couch.

"Does her daughter and grandchildren come here often?" I asked, leaning my head on Cori's shoulder. Cori shook his head. "No, only once a month. She lives far from here and has five kids so it's hard for her to travel," said Cori. I was shocked when he said she had five children. "Five children? Wow... how old are they?" I looked up at Cori, waiting for an answer. "Well there's Acelin, he is the oldest, nine years old," said Cori. "Then there are the twins, Eward and Henriette, five years old," said Tanto."Then there is Regan, he is four years old," said Cori. "Then finally, there's cute little Dashiel, only 2 years old, and what a cute little bundle of joy he is," said Tanto, a smile on he face. "Wait, Eward? Where did the 'D' go?" I asked. "It's Brenwen's daughter we're talking about, they're a weird family. Thank god the kids don't have their powers yet otherwise everyone would be in danger," Cori chuckled at the end of his statement. Tanto giggled and looked at Cori. "Yes Cori but don't forget, we are a part of this family," Cori shook his head and laughed.

Brenwen was still cooking dinner when there was a loud knock on the door, followed by small, weak knock and small voices shouting, "Granny! It's us!" They were here. Brenwen went over to the door and opened it, revealing a 34 year old woman, a nine year old boy (Acelin), a two year old boy (Dashiel), a four year old (Regan) and a set of five year old twins (Eward and Henrietta).

I smiled when I saw the kids run up to Brenwen and tackled her in a hug. Seeing them with their mother and Brenwen made me remember the request Cori had after we did the mating dance. That we should start a family. This reminded me how much I wanted children, little kitten running around, little versions of me and Cori to call our own. I smiled at the vision of us, a happy family. "Hello my lovlies, Hello Shyla, dear! It's been so long," she said looking at her daughter. So her daughter's name is Shyla, what a pretty name. "Hello, mother!" they exchanged hugs and kisses on the cheek before Shyla stepped into the house.

One of the children ran up to the couch and was shocked to see me but soon smiled excitedly. "Mommy! Mommy! Look! A new kitty cat!" shouted Regan as he pointed at me. Shyla looked over at me and smiled sweetly. "Awww, mother did you get another cat?" she asked, making her way over to me. Brenwen smiled and nodded. "Yep, Cori brought her home, she's his mrs," she cackled. Shyla kneeled down beside the couch and placed her hand on my head, rubbing her fingers on my scalp, making me purr and nuzzle my head on her hand. "Aww, she's so cute," said Shyla. I could tell that Cori was getting jealous that my attention wasn't on me anymore and nuzzled his cheek on mine, trying to get my attention. I looked at him and smiled, nuzzling my cheek on his, returning my affection towards him. "Aww, I think our little Coricopat got jealous," she giggled. I felt Cori tense, I giggled at nuzzled my head on his chest. He's so clingy and it's adorable!

Brenwen finished the dinner, serving it to everyone, including Cori, Tanto and I. After dinner, Brenwen and Shyla were in the kitchen, having a conversation and catching up while the kids played with us. I was mostly with Dashiel, the youngest. He was so cute! I would just lay next to him and occasionally nuzzle my head on his. I then looked over at Cori, seeing him play with Regan, Eward and Henrietta while Acelin was on the couch, petting Tanto. The way he was around the kids made me smile, he's so good with kids. Maybe we should have kittens. I'd like to have little Cori's running around. I giggled a little at the thought.

One day. Just one day. My wish will come true. But the question is....

when?
