I woke up to Jay nudging me awake. Quinn was ready to go, and it took a while for me to wake up. When I did, we proceeded back to the place known as the Breeding Facility. There were fewer guards than last time, and there were more lights. We were able to sneak in through a broken window, and we saw crates full of shots.
Quinn said, "This place is really strange... I can't wait for us to get out of here.." I nodded in agreement, and then we heard a loud screech. Then we heard someone else say, "Shut up you whore! This is for the existence of a new species!" I instantly ran towards the scream, and when I got to the room, I saw my mom strapped to a bed and a human giving him a shot.
Jay and Quinn caught up, and when they saw what was going on, they couldn't look away. Mom was struggling to get free, but the restraints were too strong. He screamed once again, and then another human said, "Another failure! It died again!" The other human threw a thing on the ground and said, "Goddammit! I'm starting to think that we need a new vessel for these experiments."
The humans walked out of another door. which gave us a chance to sneak in. Mom was panting heavily, and it looked like he hasn't moved from that spot for ages. Jay and Quinn sneakily undid the restraints, and that caused mom to sit up instantly. He then shook his head and asked, "...Birch? Is that you?" I hopped into his lap, and he hugged me.
Then the humans came back, and one of them screamed like a female. The other one threw a shot at me. Jay tried to get in the way, but I pushed him in mid-air, and the shot landed on my flank. I landed on the floor, and Jay asked, "Why did you do that?" I said, "I'm not letting the same thing happen twice."
Before the humans could do anything, mom picked us all up and ran out of the room. He was faster than he used to be, and he easily escaped from the Breeding Facility. When we got to a safe place, mom pulled the shot out of me and Jay said, "Mission success." Quinn stopped shaking, and mom said, "I thought I would never see the outside again. Thank you all."
I wanted to purr, but something was wrong. My belly felt like it was going to explode. Rudy gasped and said, "Let's hurry! We need to take Birch to camp right away." He picked me up again, and Jet led the way. While we were in the forest, my belly started hurting. I growled a bit, and Rudy said, "He's going to go into labor soon!" Quinn shouted, "We're almost there!"
Soon, we made it back to the clearing, and all of the cats surrounded Rudy. Lu rushed out and he said, "Someone needs to help him now." Rudy placed me down, which made the pain a bit worse. Lu instantly grabbed me and dragged me to the medicine den. At that time, my belly stopped swelling and the pain got even worse.
Lu said, "Okay Birch! I need you to slowly push the kits out. Don't panic, and breathe."

I was standing in the middle of the clearing with many cats surrounding me. Then the person that I thought I would never see again walked out and asked, "What's all the ruckus? I'm trying to-" He stopped when he looked at me. He slowly approached me and asked, "Are... you really Rudy?" I smiled then I hugged him saying, "I missed you so much Jet..." He hugged me and whispered, "I missed you too Rudy..."
We stayed in that position for a while, and all of the cats went back to their daily lives. Jet took me into his den, and we just sat together for the longest time. During that time, I asked him, "You do know our son is giving birth, yes?" Jet said, "Yeah. I heard. I hope he makes it through." I said, "One of the doctors threw a shot at him that was supposed to be for me after I got impregnated again. And I think he just got pregnant today."
Jet looked at me in surprise and said, "Today!? Then that means they've been torturing you..." I sighed and, "It hurt, but if I never have given birth to our kits, I would've probably died." Jet hugged me closer and said, "I'm sorry... I should've saved you.." I said, "It's fine now. I'm back and it's because of our son and his friends."
