Chapter Twenty-Five: Buttons:

Noiz lay back on the futon, smiling. A few more days to go. She moved her hand to her belly. I can’t wait to meet our child, she thought. Mosh has put up with so much with me going crazy like this. It can’t be helped, really it can’t. Women get hormonal when they are pregnant. She looked over at the bedroom door.

Still, I have to hand it to him, the kitty thought. He’s put up a lot with me. Maybe I should do something nice to him. A little smile came across her face. That boy really deserved something nice. However, Noiz frowned to herself. But what should I get him?

“Mosh-kun!” she shouted.

“What is it?” he asked from his office in the hallway.

“What would you like for a present?” she asked.

“Why?”

Noiz shrugged her shoulders to herself.  “I don’t know. I just feel like it.”

“Okay…”

She looked back up at the ceiling. “You have put up with so much with me.”

“Of course I had to,” Mosh said. “I’m your husband after all.” Noiz chuckled to herself.

“I suppose so,” she said. “I still feel like I have to give you something for all of the headaches I gave you.”

“You don’t have to do that, you know?” he replied.

“But I want to!”

The mouse sighed. “Fine, do as you like.”

Her squealed reached all the way through the hall. “Ooo, I love you so much!”

“Yes, I love you too,” Mosh replied.

“So, what would you like me to get you?” the kitty asked.

“Surprise me.”

A puzzled look came over his wife’s face. “You want me to surprise you?”

“Yeah, will that be okay?”

She nodded to herself. “Yeah, that will be great.” Another thought crossed her mind. “Are you coming to bed soon?”

“Yeah,” Mosh replied. “Just let me finish up this homework really quick.”

“Okay,” his wife replied. She moved her hand to her stomach again and smiled to herself. Three more weeks! The kitty began the count down in her head once again.
