Everything Under the Stars

“I think Herschel’s found a girlfriend and she’s had babies.”Jack peeked into the darkened corner. Soft, high pitched mewing drifted out. Tiny grey, white and black furred baby cats were pressed up against their mother’s side, climbing over her and each other with clumsy waddles.“Yep,” Jack said, “those wigglers are brand new and freshly cooked - their eyes are closed and their ears are still folded up.” He dropped a hand onto Mac’s shoulder. “Son, we have kittens.”  There are kittens at the stable, Jack’s mum comes to visit and Mac and Jack have a science fair and a painful anniversary to face.
