Chapter 2: Excited

The night, Angelica woke up to thumping. She woke John because she didn’t know what it was.
“John, do wewe hear that?” she alisema frantically.
“Yeah, it could be the neighbors digging bones,” John replied.
There was zaidi thumping and it wasn’t the sound of digging. John got out of kitanda and went to check it out. “I’ll be right back, I’m going to see what that noise is.”
“Be careful, don’t get hurt.”
“I won’t.”
John went to where the sound was coming from. He inspected the back part of the den. Nothing here, he thought I wonder if the pango is just too old. He was about to go back into the den, when he heard zaidi thumping. It was in the den. He heard some giggling from Kate and Humphrey, and zaidi thumping.
“Nothing like the first romance,” John alisema to himself, “I remember mine.” He walked back into the pango and laid back down with Angelica. “Humphrey and Kate are romancing in the room, nothing to worry about.”
“Aww, that’s sweet everyone makes noise on their first romance,” Angelica alisema calmly, “They still need to go find a pango of their own though.”
The inayofuata day, John knocked on the rock. “Humphrey, Kate, do want breakfast in bed?” he asked.
“Sure, let me songesha the rock.” Humphrey moved the rock that closed off the entrance of the room. “Thanks dad.”
At Eve and Winston’s den, Eve woke Winston to surprising delight. “Winston! I’m pregnant!”
“Really? That’s great! What should we name it.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if it was girl. We should name her Janet.”
When Winston was in Alpha school he had an instructor named Janet. “I like that name. Good idea.”
Lilly felt a slight stomach ache, not too painful but it was distracting. She asked Garth what it was. “Garth, I have a slight stomach ache, does it always happen the morning after romance?”
“Lilly, to be honest, I think you’re pregnant.”
Lilly was freaked out and exited at the same time. “If it’s a dude let’s name it Lars!”
The name sounded familiar to Garth but he didn’t know what it was. “Sounds good!”
Kate and Humphrey got done eating.
“I gotta go,” Kate alisema out of nowhere.
“Where are wewe going?” Humphrey asked.
Kate had a disgusted look on her face. “To the bathroom smart one.”
“Oh ok, yeah go ahead.”
Kate went to the bathroom and noticed something different in her urine.
“Humphrey, come see this,” she called, a little nervous.
Humphrey looked down and saw Kate’s urine.
“Yeah thanks for making me look at that.”
“No, look closely, isn’t it different than what it is?”
Humphrey looked closely. “Yeah it is.”
Kate freaked out and howled for Eve. She knew it would have happened to her mother, so Eve would know. She howled, Mom, I need your help, My urine is different than normal, I need your help. Eve came in.
“What is it dear?”
“My urine, it’s different.”
Eve inspected it then sniffed it. She knew Kate was pregnant.
“I will rip Humphrey’s arms out and shove them down his throat!”
“Mom, what’s wrong, I didn’t get wewe know the thing that starts with A did I?”
“Kate, you’re pregnant!”
Kate’s face lit up, “That’s great! Yes!”
Eve was pissed and speechless. “Kate, you’re not happy are you?”
“Of course I am, I’m having a puppy!”
Eve left the pango extremely angry and upset both at the same time.
“Humphrey! I got good news!” Kate yelled.
“What?”
“I’m pregnant! We’re going to be parents!”
“Really! That’s great!”
Humphrey and Kate hugged each other as hard as they could.
“Mom, dad you’re going to be grandparents!” Humphrey said.
Angelica came storming in. “What did wewe just say?”
“You’re going to be a grandmother!”
“John, come in here!”
“What? What’s so ‘exciting’”
“John, you’re going to be a grandfather!” Kate alisema proudly.
“Holy Crap! This is awesome! Is this true?”
Hutch was still sleeping with his mate, Rebecca. He woke up and laid there. He looked down and saw Rebecca’s stomach. It was stretch out, but Hutch knew already she was pregnant. John and Angelica were going to the be grandparents times two.
Hutch kissed Rebecca, got up and cut some caribou for breakfast.
“I can’t wait to have this puppy with Rebecca.” He alisema to himself.
Kate howled to Eve and Winston. Mom, dad, I’m pregnant! Come over here!
Eve and Winston arrived and saw Humphrey and Kate rubbing noses.
“Mom, Dad, I pregnant!”
“Oh, baby, that’s great!” Winston yelled, “I’m going to be a grandfather!”
Eve jumped in Humphrey’s direction trying to land on him but Humphrey stepped out of the way and Eve planted her face on the wall.
“Eve!” Winston panicked as he ran to assist Eve.
They heard a howl from Lilly and Garth. Eve, Winston, dad, Lilly is pregnant! Garth howled come over here!
“Before we go, Eve is pregnant too!” Winston said.
“What are wewe planning on naming your puppy?” Humphrey asked.
“It’s zaidi than likely to be a girl, so we’re thinking of naming her Janet. What about yours?”
“We haven’t decided yet,” Kate said.
“We need to think about it,” Humphrey said.
Eve and Winston left and set out for Lilly and Garth’s den.
“Kate, I have a name.”
“What is it?”
“How does Johnny sound?”
Kate laughed but it wasn’t a bad idea.
“It’s good.”
“You really think so?”
“Yup. I like it. But what if it was a girl?”
“Kate Jr.”
Out of nowhere, they heard a howl from Hutch. Mom, dad, Humphrey, Rebecca’s pregnant.
“What should we name our puppy?” Rebecca asked.
“How about Matthew?”
“Sounds good.”
Humphrey came in out of nowhere.
“Congratulations brother!”
Hutch was startled but he was glad to see Humphrey got the message. “Thanks Humphrey.”
“Kate’s pregnant too.”
“Is she really?”
“Yup she is.”
At Garth and Lilly’s den, Eve and Winston rushed in.
“Hey, baby,” Winston said, “I heard you’re pregnant.”
“Yup, I am.”
“That’s great. It really is. We’re going to be grandparents times two.”
“Really? Is Kate pregnant?”
“Yup, so is your mother.”
“Your pregnant mom?”
Eve patted her stomach “Yup.”
