PART II

	9 months had passed and Felicia was due at any moment.  She had to 
went to the doctors a couple of months ago to get an ultrasound and 
discovered that the kitten was going to be a boy.  Jake was so proud because 
now he would have a son who would grew up to be like him.  Jake and Chance 
had gotten up early that morning to do a desert test run which didn't bother 
Felicia because she didn't want to go anywhere.  It wasn't because she didn't 
feel good she just thought that she was too huge and it would embarrass Jake. 
Jake kept telling her that it was okay because he still loved her and after 
the kitten was born she would go down to her normal self again.  Isis had 
dropped by that morning to check up on Felicia.  They were sitting on the 
couch talking about the new kitten.  Isis told Felicia that after the kitten 
was born and she wanted to go out and be Ricochet for awhile, Isis would 
baby-sit him.  
	"Want something to drink, Licia?," Isis asked as she got up and 
walked over to the refrigerator.
	"Sure.  Get me a can of milk," said Felicia.
	"Okay," Isis said as she opened the refrigerator to get the drinks.
	Suddenly Felicia felt a sharp pain from her stomach.  She clutched 
it.  She knew what it was! The kitten was coming!  She started to breath 
faster.  Isis turned around and walked back to Felicia.  "You know, Licia.  
Chance and I were thinking....," she stopped when she see saw Licia. 
	"Isis!  Call the paramedics!," Felicia managed to say.  The pain was 
so immense that she laid down on the couch, sweating and breathing hard.
	"Ok! Hang on Licia!," Isis said and ran over to the phone.  She 
picked it up and called the paramedics.  After she told them the situation 
and the address, she hung up and went over to comfort Licia.  
	"Isis, call Razor from down in the hangar after the paramedics 
leave," said Felicia.  "Owww..I hate kittens!!"
	"Don't say that.  You're just in pain.  It will be okay," said Isis 
as she gripped her paw and held onto it.  
***********************************************************************
	30 minutes later after the paramedics left, taking Felicia to the 
hospital, Isis went down into the hangar to contact Razor.  "Razor, come 
in!," she shouted into the intercom.  
	At the desert, Razor and T-Bone were about to do a second run when 
Isis's call came in.  "Call come in, buddy," Razor said.  T-Bone nodded his 
head in agreement and pushed a button on his console which enabled the call 
to be heard through out the entire cockpit.  
	"Yeah.  Who is this?," asked T-Bone.
	"It's me, Isis.  You two need to get your tails back here!," Isis 
shouted.
	"What is it?," asked Razor.  "Is Felicia okay?"
	"Razor, Felicia is in labor.  They took her to the hospital," said 
Isis.  "I am going on to the hospital.  See you two there."  She 
disconnected. 
	"Let's go, buddy! I don't want to miss this!," said Razor.
	"Roger that!," T-Bone said and hit the afterburners.  
************************************************************************
	Jake and Chance arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later.  They ran 
into the waiting room to meet Isis.  "How is she?," asked Jake.
	"The nurse hasn't come by yet so she must still be in labor," said 
Isis. 
	"Crud," Jake said, he started to pace. 
	"Calm down, buddy.  Everything will be fine," said Chance.  
	"Mr. Clawson?," the nurse asked when she came in.  Jake yelped in 
surprise.
	"Ye-yes?," he said shakily.
	"Congratulations.  Your wife made out fine.  It's a boy," said the 
nurse.
	"Can-can I go see her?," asked Jake.
	"Yes.  She's in room 785," said the nurse.  She walked out of the 
room.  
	"Congratulations, buddy!," Chance shouted and hugged Jake.  
	"Thanks," said Jake.  "Let's go see her."  They walked to room 785.  
Jake opened the door and walked inside followed by Chance and then Isis.  
Inside the room.  Felicia was sitting up in the bed with her hospital gown on 
holding their son wrapped in a blue blanket.  "Hey, Licia.  How are you 
feeling?," asked Jake.
	"Fine," Licia said softly, she was really exhausted.  Jake sat down 
in a chair beside her bed.  Licia handed him their son.  Jake held his son 
carefully and pulled back the blanket to get a better look at him.  His eyes 
watered up with joy when he saw his son's face.   Their son was brown with a 
little tan tint to it.  He had the same floppy cheeks as Jake and have blue 
eyes like Licia.  
	"He has your eyes," Chance said when he saw their son too.
	"Yes.  Dusty meet your father, Jake," Felicia said.  Dusty cooed at 
Jake.  
	"Oh, he is so adorable!," Isis exclaimed.  "I can't wait to baby-sit 
him."
	"Come on," said Chance.  "Let's leave them alone for awhile."
	"Okay," said Isis.  She and Chance walked out of the room leaving 
Jake and Licia marveling at their son.  Dusty was a new joy in their life but 
he was also another danger for them as well.  After all, he is the son of a 
SWAT Kat.
