The Fearless Four: Heat of the Moment (Part 2)
Part 2 of Heat of the Moment
Part 1 left off where Gwendolyn had pulled Buster away from Fred and Tortellini to talk in private with him while the other two males were wondering what was going.
Here everything is revealed and a couple twists as well.
Again, if you haven't seen the movie, I recommend that you see it so you understand certain elements of the story.
“Something wrong, Gwendolyn?” Buster asks in a worried tone. He had been noticing that she was acting a bit differently since their intimate moment together. The Siamese sits on her haunches and looks up at him.
“Buster…I’m pregnant…” She replies softly. Buster’s eyes widen at what she just said. “There’s more…” She begins again, “when we mated…I didn’t realize I was in full heat…I thought I had more time…” She lowers her head, feeling ashamed that she let herself get pregnant. Buster lifts up her head with his paw and smiles softly.
“This is something really special, Gwendolyn…” He replies in a loving tone, “This has never happened before…a cat pregnant from a dog…I’m sure Fred and Tortellini will be surprised as well.” He gently nuzzles her, watching a smile slowly appear on her face. They both lean in closely and kiss each other deeply, feeling closer than ever before.
“I guess we should tell them. They’re probably worried since I had us be away from them.” Gwendolyn purrs softly, breaking their loving kiss. The bloodhound nods and follows her as she heads back to them. Fred and Tortellini were conversing amongst themselves when they see Buster and Gwendolyn return and hear Gwendolyn’s chat she had with Buster.
“You’re what?!” Tortellini exclaimed, his feathers puffing up and going all over the place. Fred couldn’t believe it either.
“But how?” Fred adds in. Buster and Gwendolyn look at each other and then back at the other two.
“I don’t know how this happened,” She replies, “But I am in fact pregnant with Buster’s children.” Buster nuzzles her affectionately while Fred and Tortellini smile, excited by the interesting news. Everyone gathers around the mother-to-be and gently pet and congratulate her. She smiles at the three males and brings them in for a hug, grateful that she has such good friends with one being her lover. As the four walk back into Gwendolyn’s house, Fred and Tortellini were curious about what exactly happened that night after they celebrated their freedom. Both lovers chuckle and decide to tell them what transpired while making their way to the Siamese’s room.
A couple of weeks later, Gwendolyn was starting to show her pregnancy with her bulging belly as Buster, Fred and Tortellini all tend to her and care for her. Every so often, she asks to be alone with Buster for a few minutes and the two males leave them during that time. Gwendolyn smiles at her lover as they share a deep, passionate kiss together. She gently breaks the kiss and lovingly nuzzles him, purring contently. Buster smiles down and nuzzles her back, listening to her purr as they start kissing once more.
Buster breaks the kiss this time and looks out at the sun setting through the window. Gwendolyn sighs happily and looks out the window as well, admiring the sky changing color and the sunlight slowly fading. Fred and Tortellini enter the room after letting the lovers have their time alone.
“Do you want us to sleep in here as well, Gwendolyn?” Fred asks softly. She looks at Buster and then back at the donkey.
“I’ll be fine with Buster here, Fred. Thank you though.” She replies with a soft smile. Fred nods and walks out of the room with Tortellini following, leaving her alone with Buster. Gwendolyn lets out a soft yawn as she stretches before curling up next to Buster. Buster smiles as he wraps himself around her, yawning as well as they both drift off to sleep just as the sun fully sets and darkness fills the sky. Fred, along with Tortellini, enters their own room that the two males share and catch the sun disappearing beyond the horizon.
Fred walks over to one side of the room while Tortellini goes over to the other side in his makeshift bed similar to the one he had slept in before joining the others on their journey. They both yawn in unison as they each make themselves comfortable but still seem restless.
“Hard to believe that Buster got her pregnant…” Fred whispers softly. Tortellini nods as he ruffles his feathers, fluffing himself up.
“It just doesn’t seem possible since she’s a cat and he’s a dog.” He replies, letting out another yawn as sleep starts to overtake him while Fred falls asleep first before the rooster finally drifts off into slumber.

A few more weeks later, Buster and Fred walk around in the yard while Tortellini checks up on Gwendolyn every so often to make sure she was ok, her belly very much swollen now and due at any time. While the two males walk in the yard, they were singing a little duet to themselves about their lives before meeting and becoming a quartet. They both notice that Mix Max was a part of their life that leads them to leave and then winding up meeting. They suddenly hear Tortellini rushing out of the house, yelling at the top of his lungs for them to come quick. The two quickly rush over to the flailing rooster, wondering what was wrong.
“What’s going on, Tortellini? Is Gwendolyn ok?” Buster asks with concern. Tortellini takes a breath as he calms himself enough so he could speak clearly.
“She wanted me to get you as fast as I could. She’s going into labor!” He crows as he motions the males inside. Buster and Fred look at each other and quickly follow Tortellini inside. They soon hear Gwendolyn meowing in pain and her breathing labored as Buster bursts into the room before the other two to be at her side.
“Buster… you’re here…” she purrs meekly. Buster nuzzles her tenderly and places his paw on hers.
“Yes, I’m here Gwendolyn… everything’s going to be ok.” He replies soothingly to her, seeing her smile softly as his words. Fred and Tortellini enter the room and offer assistance to help the Siamese with her labor. Buster looks worriedly at Gwendolyn, not sure if she will be able to make it delivering his children but is re-affirmed when one kitten emerges from Gwendolyn, followed by a pup with Tortellini helping the delivery.
“Congratulations you two; you have a boy and a girl.” He replies warmly, holding up the two hybrid offspring with the female kitten resembling her mother more and the male pup resembling his father more but still shows evidence of both parents. Gwendolyn purrs happily, glad the pain was finally over as Buster lets out a sigh of relief, knowing she was going to be ok.
“What are you going to name them?” Fred asks the proud parents. They both look at each other and didn’t take long to respond.
“Buster Jr. and Gwen.” They both reply in unison, happily nuzzling each other and licking adoringly and licking their kups. They kups mewl and yip as Tortellini hands them over to their parents who look upon them and smile at the blessings they now have.
