With that revealed, James paled as he stood there. A defeated sigh left him.

"I was hoping that wouldn't have happened to you..." James started as he removed his wet coat. "But you aren't alone in the matter."

Revealing his stomach, his shirt was able to contain it but he already looked full term with one kid. The man's ears went down as he sat down on the bed.

[gre-y]

Maisie looked down at his stomach. "Well shit."
"What are we going to do now? God, what am I gonna tell my brother? He's going to flip out," she said, running her fingers through her hair.

[anibus3]

"He'll flip alright..." James commented. "I'm not sure, he's going to find out and I'm fine with getting chewed out by him. I really hoped that this wouldn't have happened to you, if it was just me then it would be fine. I could just blame it on the overdose of the formula that I had. This though...we can't do that."

Considering how hard the rain was coming down, his shirt was wet too, so he removed it to get a dry one. Both revealing the markings and fur that had grown on his shoulders and the rather round stomach. Getting up, he started to look for a new shirt. A stripe followed his spine and there were various stripes branching off from it on his back and to his sides.

[gre-y]

"Well he's pregnant, what can he do? It's not like he can do anything physical," Maisie noted. "Oh well. It happened. Dang, I wonder how many kids we'll end up with by the end of this.. We have like a whole army of kids," she said, shaking her head.

She looked at him. "Um.. You seem to have some cat stripes there.. all over your body," she said awkwardly. She rubbed her stomach, thinking it would be good for Robert to be an older brother.

[anibus3]

"Grab anything in arms reach and throw it at us?" James suggested. "Yes, I am aware of the...cat stripes. Those are a new development as are the claws and fur on my shoulders."

Getting a shirt out, he sat down on the bed and sighed. His stomach felt off and he had a feeling it would be another growth spurt. It was just going to kick in when it wanted to.

[gre-y]

"Pfft he'll probably throw something at you, not me," Maisie said with an eye roll.
"We should probably get downstairs though," she said. "How long is this gonna last anyway? Geez I can't believe I'm pregnant.. Like I came here just to help out with YOUR guys' kids, not have a bunch of my own," she said.

Maisie hadn't been able to get pregnant before this. She did have a boyfriend but he left when they weren't able to have kids, so that's why she adopted Robert. She was actually happy about getting pregnant, though. She gently stroked her belly.

[anibus3]

"Oh well." James replied.

Not really scared of what Charlie could grab to throw at him. Course the man put a hand on his stomach as he could feel it getting closer. Well things might be going even faster than last time?

"It differs. Could be a few days, a few weeks, or the whole nine yards." James said. "However, you're going...to have...frequent growth spurts."

With that said, one started up for James. Making his stomach bulge forward more and with no shirt on, it was easy to tell.

[gre-y]

Maisie reached across the open up the door.
"No kidding, I mean do you already see this?" She pointed at her stomach. She was already pretty big.
"Mmk let's go downstairs and break the news to my brother," she started to walk down the stairs.

[anibus3]

"Alright just...hold one." James requeted, waiting for the growth to stop.

It finally did at twins and he managed to get the shirt on. Following her along, they both went downstairs and James sighed.

"Charlie...I have some news to tell you and you'll probably hate me for it." James started.

[gre-y]

Charlie was sitting on the couch, surrounded by babies. They were sleeping on or next to him. "Hmm? what?" He opened his eyes. "Shit are you pregnant again?" he asked, his eyes going to his belly.

Maisie was kind of hiding by the stairs, not really wanting to go into the conversation yet.

[anibus3]

"Yes but...I'm not the only one." James said. "I had asked Maisie for help despite being against hte idea. I wanted to understand what would trigger that feline side, and I had her tie me up for her safety. Sadly...it didn't work."

[gre-y]

Charlie's eyes narrowed. "You don't mean.."
Maisie stepped forward, scratching the back of her neck. "Yeah, the experiment didn't go exactly as planned.. sooo.. this happened," she said, patting her belly.

Charlie groaned, covering his face in his hands. "I swear to god you guys.. I literally can't believe this.." He was surprisingly calm. mostly to keep all ten kits asleep, though. It would be terrible if they all woke up, crying.

[anibus3]

"It was a accident I swear. I thought the ropes would hold!" James urged in a low voice, so the children would stay asleep.

Ears twitched and James sighed as they lowered.

"In all honesty, it is my fault Charlie. I accept that and I didn't mean for any of this to happen." James said. "i should've never tried to make the formula in the first place.."

[gre-y]

Charlie stared at James, his eyes narrowed. Although he was mad, he wasn't too mad. Maisie seemed okay with it, so was it that bad? He always knew that Maisie wanted a lot of kids. "Well now we're a big family, and there's not much we can do about this now." He said.

Maisie was surprised at how chill her brother was about the whole thing. "Hey guys where's Robert?? I haven't seen him in a while.."

[anibus3]

How were they so calm about it? James didn't understand it. Shaking their head, he glanced down at the ground.

"I haven't seen me." James said.

[gre-y]

"Maybe he's in the barn with the dog.." She said. She hadn't seen him in a while. She was about to say something else, but Charlie made a pained sound. "Hey what's up??"

Charlie held his belly, making a small whimper. "It.. it kind of hurts.." He whined, feeling the kids start kicking.

[anibus3]

"I'm sure he came in, I think I heard the dog in his room." James said.

A brow was raised to Charlie's words though it became one of concern.

"Maybe you're in labor?" James suggested. "Though...you do have more than one in there, so they're kicks might hurt more."

[gre-y]

Charlie still had a pained expression on his face. He'd been hurting all day, but it wasn't this bad until just now. "I think they're coming.." He whimpered, still holding his belly.
Maisie shook her head. This was a lot for one day. "Okay, well, we better get him somewhere comfortable and get blankets and stuff." She said, leaving the room to get supplies.
Charlie looked upset when she left. He wanted her to be there with him because he was hurting pretty badly. "James this really hurts.. and they're moving a lot, too.."

[anibus3]

"Here I'll help ya get somewhere else so the kittens stay asleep." James said as he helped Charlie to their room. "I know, trust me they were thrashing about in me when I had mine."

James really didn't like how all of this was going. At least Charlie would have their kids now...one less pregnant member around.

"I'm really sorry Charlie.." James apologized.

[gre-y]

Charlie was slowly lead to his room, where he sat on his bed.
"God this really bites.." He growled. He looked up at James. "Your kids are really strong," he said, rubbing his stomach.

Maisie got towels, blankes, and other things and brought the stuff to Charlie's room.
