Chapter Five
“Talking”
‘Thoughts’
Author’s Note: This is a sequel to my popular story “Different Point of View”. Hope you enjoy this continuation of Chance and Feral’s relationship. Ulyferal is my beta on this story as well.
It had only been a couple of weeks since Jenny had her kitten but the weeks hadn’t been relaxing or anything of that sort for Chance and Ursula. Apparently Mrs. Furlong had somehow got both Felina and Callie’s phone numbers in order to help her prepare for the upcoming wedding.
To Ursula it felt more like the three had just ganged up on her. Each weekend she was dragged off to fulfill each requirement for the wedding. First, they dragged her to a florist to order bouquets for her and the bridesmaids. Second, a card shop to order invitations and third, the caterers to order a cake.
During the whole nightmare there were endless questions and she was asked her opinion numerous times till she felt like screaming. She adamantly put her foot down when they wanted to have her pick out place settings and decide on a menu for the reception. She told them bluntly to make those decisions themselves because she had had enough.
Realizing Ursula was overwhelmed, the three she-kats made the rest of the arrangements as asked without a complaint. But there was one thing, Ursula could not shirk and that was shopping for her trousseau and wedding dress.
The wedding dress hadn’t taken too long to find. She went with what looked nice to her eyes and settled fairly quickly on a beautiful long white satin dress with little seed pearls on the bodice and trim. It had long sleeves and a long train. The veil was a simple affair with the same seed pearls on the trim and a spray of white fabric roses that went across the top of her head. A pair of flat white pumps completed the look. Only a minor alteration of raising the hem was needed to her relief. She truly thought she was finished when her soon to be mother-in-law piped up.
“After this, we need to go shopping for a new wardrobe.” Mrs. Furlong said excitedly as she nodded her approval of the beautiful wedding dress.
“What? But I have enough clothes.” Ursula objected turning around only to have the dressmaker snap at her for moving as she was pinning up the hem.
“It’s for the honeymoon.” Callie explained.
“W-w-what?” Ursula looked at Callie and then at Mrs. Furlong as the two began to talk about the honeymoon clothes.
“Oh, I know the perfect place!” Felina told them as she joined them.
“Felina!” Ursula cried out in surprised shock at her niece but it was already to late.
With the wedding dress being altered and promised to be completed on time, Felina took them all to her favorite store. Ursula blushed at the type of very revealing clothing being displayed throughout the store.
“Here, Ursula try this on!” Mrs. Furlong said holding up a white cotton sundress for her soon to be daughter-in-law.
“I don’t know.” She said hesitantly as she stared at the low scooped bust line of the dress and very short hem. “Uhm...” But Ursula was cut off as Callie came up to them with some type of underwear.
“Please tell me you’re not going to make me try that on?” She blurted at the barely there scrap of material laughingly disguising itself as underwear.
“Of course not! But you do need some of these things for the honeymoon.” Callie said holding it up.
“Err…but there’s not much there...” Ursula said uneasily. She didn’t feel comfortable wearing such things unless it was in private with Chance.
“You won’t be saying that during your wedding night. Now go try this on.” Mrs. Furlong handed her the sundress pushing her to try it on now.
Sighing at all this, Ursula took the dress and headed for the dressing room. After putting it on, she had to admit she really liked how it fit and looked on her body. She knew Chance was going to love it.
Chance was going to have to wait to take it off her though. She told him it was traditional in her family to withhold sex until after the wedding. Chance hadn’t been very happy with that but respected her wishes. It was hard for him to restrict his amorous touches to just kissing and caressing her but he would do anything for her even this.
Smiling to herself, maybe buying a few of the clothing and things wouldn’t be so bad. ‘Geez, I don’t think Chance and I will even leave the room.’ She thought giggling a bit.
While Ursula was being dragged about from place to place, Chance found he wasn’t going to be left out of the nightmare of planning either. He was shocked when he found himself shanghaied by his father and brothers at the same time Ursula was. But in their case, it was a necessity not joy that his male family members went about the chore. Their wives and mother had insisted. The only one who didn’t seem to mind was Jake.
“Why do I need do this again?” Chance asked with displeasure.
“Because I promised your mother we would do this.” Mr. Furlong said, halting anymore complaints from his son.
Chance snorted but otherwise kept quite. So far they had reserved the chapel, rented the limo, scheduled the photographer and found a reception hall that would meet their needs.
Next on the list was Chance’s trousseau. They went to the tux rental place and found a beautiful black tux and black patent shoes. He looked like a totally different Kat in it. Everyone was pleased by it. The last stop was going shopping at a mall for honeymoon clothes. At one such shop, Mike called him over saying he wanted to show him something.
“What is it, Mike?” Chance asked tired and wanting to get finished.
“Think Ursula will like this?” Mike asked jokingly holding up some type of very slinky lingerie.
Chance had to do a double take as he looked at it. A sudden image of Ursula in the bedroom wearing this had Chance hot and blushing.
“Not if it’s from you.” Chance snapped turning away quickly so that his brother couldn’t see his face.
“Right, you buy it.” Mike said with a smirk.
“What? I can’t!”
“Why not? It can be just a treat for yourself.” Mike said playfully
Mike heard Chance mumble something to himself before turning away to leave. Mike smirked at his younger brother’s actions. He knew Chance would double back and buy it.
‘At least he won’t be bored on his honeymoon,’ Mike thought in amusement putting the item back in plain view so that Chance wouldn’t miss it.
The males moved along to other shops helping Chance buy shorts and nice shirts, new sandals and even a new pair of sunglasses.
They finished the productive day by stopping and having lunch. The subject of his honeymoon came up and they were shocked when they learned it was for only a week.
“Just a week? Chance, don’t you want to spend more time with her? You’ll need more than that.” his father told his son.
“I do. But Ursula and I already talked about this. We agreed to take just a week.” Chance said though he had been surprised when she agreed so readily.
Chance didn’t feel comfortable leaving the garage work to Jake along with their duties as SWAT Kats. So when he told Ursula that he only wanted a week he figured she would be upset over it but was quite surprised when the opposite happened. She actually seemed relieved which confused him even more.
‘I wonder why?’ Chance questioned to himself. Perhaps she didn’t want James to do all the work while she was away.
“Just think, Chance. In a couple of weeks you’ll be married. How do you feel?” Peter asked slapping a paw on Chance back.
“Nervous that’s how I feel.” Chance answered truthfully.
“Just be sure not to get any cold feet.” Peter said looking at his older brother.
“I won’t” Chance said laughing a little.
Finally the day of the wedding arrived sunny and clear. The ceremony was set for eleven o’clock so Chance’s mother, Callie, Felina and his dad came to their home at seven that morning. Mrs. Furlong shooed her son out the door with his father. His things were already at his family home. Everything was happening so fast that Chance and Ursula barely got to say good-bye.
“Now that they’re gone, we need to get you ready. Chloe, Sarah and Jenny won’t be here till later. Now let’s get started.” Mrs. Furlong said happily wanting to get started right way.
Ursula didn’t know why but she felt both scared and relieved at the same time. Scared at the way Mrs. Furlong and Callie were looking at her and relieved that Sarah wouldn’t be there till later. The she-kat still made her uneasy. She still hadn’t been able to find out what had happened between Chance and her but now just wasn’t the time.
“Now, let start with that hair of yours.” Mrs. Furlong said coming to Ursula’s side making her sit on a chair in her bedroom.
Never in her life, had Ursula ever been so fussed over. Her face was lightly made up though she really hated having that stuff on it. Her hair was done up in a special do on top of her head with tendrils falling down the sides of her face.
“Okay, now the dress.” Callie said bringing out the wedding dress she had picked up for Ursula.
“I can’t believe this happening.” Ursula said in hushed voice as she took hold of the dress carefully.
“Believe it, auntie. It’s truly happening, you must be so happy!” Felina said as she helped her aunt carefully step into the dress and pull it up. Callie zipped it up in back.
“More like there are butterflies in my stomach. I never felt this way before even…” Ursula said but stopped before she said too much but the look Felina gave her was one of understanding.
“Don’t be.” Felina smiled as she smoothed the dress down.
Just then a knock on the bedroom door caused the females in the room to freeze. The door opened as Sarah poked her head in.
“Sorry, we knocked but no one answered. Jenny, Eno and Chloe are in the living room.” Sarah said smiling slightly as she stepped into the room..
“Thank you, Sarah. Excuse me, I have to see that grandson of mine.” Mrs. Furlong said excitedly excusing herself from the three she-kats.
“I’ll come with you.” Callie said following Chance’s mom.
Sarah walked up to the pair left in the room. Felina was moving around the dress ensuring it hung right when Sarah tapped her on the shoulder.
“Could I talk to Ursula for a few minutes...alone?” Sarah asked giving Felina a smile.
Felina studied Sarah for a moment then said, “Sure.”
Ursula eyed Sarah questioningly, wondering what she wanted to talk about. Felina stood up and left the room leaving the two of them alone.
“Sorry, if I’ve been so distant with you.” Sarah said suddenly catching Ursula off guard.
“Ah, no need to apologize.” Ursula said easily.
“It’s just that Chance and I used to be together.” She said bluntly.
“Matt told me but didn’t elaborate.” Ursula said cautiously.
“Chance and I met in our last year of high school. We started to date each other later on.” Sarah began, a small smile showing the memory had been a good one.
“I don’t think you should be telling me this. This should be Chance’s choice if he wants me to know about your former relationship.” Ursula said in a firm commanding tone but Sarah ignored her warning.
“I just wanted to warn you.” Sarah insisted.
“About what?”
“Two years before he joined the enforcers, I became pregnant. Chance was happy when I told him.” She stated sadly.
“I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say.” Ursula said in shocked surprise.
“You don’t have to say anything. I lost the kitten some time later due to car accident.” Sarah said but stopped to look at Ursula.
Ursula truly didn’t know what to say now. After all what could she say in the face of such sad news? ‘Was this the reason why Chance and Sarah weren’t together any more?’ She wondered.
“It must have been hard on you. I can’t image the pain you went through.” Ursula said floundering for the appropriate words to say. The information was such a shock.
“It was terrible but for Chance it was the worst news of his life.” Sarah said heavily.
“I can understand that but what does that have to do with me?” Ursula asked frowned, knowing there had to be a reason for Sarah telling her such a sad piece of new now of all times.
“Because if that were to happen again…I don’t think Chance could handle it a second time.” Sarah said looking at Ursula again with some kind of indefinable look in her eyes that Ursula couldn’t figure out.
“I see, well...uh...thank you…for telling me...I’ll keep that information in mind..” Ursula said still a bit confused but sad for Sarah and Chance.
“It’s... no trouble... I should go…the wedding is about to start after all.” Sarah said hesitantly then turned and left the room hurriedly leaving an uncomfortable silence behind.
Ursula didn’t know what to do with this information. Did Sarah think she would lose a kitten too? She hoped that would never happen to her but one never knew. It was a sobering thing to know about Chance though. Sighing, she shook her self a little.
‘Well that certainly was depressing,’ she thought, ‘but this is my wedding and I refuse to let past sadness ruin it. I’m already nervous enough,’ she told herself.
Felina popped back in at that moment. “Hey, auntie, everything okay?”
“Yes! Is it time to go?” Ursula asked.
“Almost, we have to get your veil on, shoes, and the rest of us have to dress then give out the bouquets.” Felina laughed at the look of dismay on her aunt’s face.
Meanwhile, over at his parent’s house, Chance was getting ready. He’d been trying to fix his bow tie for some minutes and was getting quite frustrated with it when his partner came in.
“Here, Chance. Let me help you.” Jake said in mild amusement.
“Thanks, Jake.” Chance said in relief as Jake nimbly fixed the tie.
“So the big day’s finally here, eh, Chance?” Jake asked happily
“Yeah, can you believe it? I can’t believe after all the hassles it’s finally here. It just seemed so far a way then suddenly...bang!” Chance said, his nervousness showing.
“Easy buddy! Take deep breaths and slowly let them out.” Jake instructed his partner helping him relax. Chance did as he was told and it help him calm a bit.
Just then the door to his parent’s bedroom opened and Mr. Furlong came in smiling at his son, pleased at the way the suit looked on his son.
“Ready, Chance? It time.” Mr. Furlong asked as smiled at Chance who nodded.
“Well, let’s go. I can hardly wait.” Jake said as they headed for the limo ride to the church.
“Jake, the way you’ve been acting you’d think it was your wedding not mine.” Chance said laughing.
In very little time, they were at the church. When everyone had climbed out the limo left to retrieve the bride.
Meanwhile, inside the church the pews began to slowly fill with guests as Chance and his groomsmen stood on the other side of the alter and waited patiently though Chance tended to rock on his feet nervously and asking Jake if he had the ring numerous times.
Finally, everyone was seated and the room went quiet as the priest appeared and took his place. Moments later the wedding march began and doors to the chapel opened.
Chance look toward the door as the bridesmaids began to proceed down the aisle behind them came a vision in white. Ursula was breathtaking. Chance’s eyes widened at the sight of his soon to be mate as she glided smoothly down the aisle toward him.
As she moved down the aisle, Ursula stared at the incredibly handsome tom waiting for her. Chance looked stunning in his dark tux. He was staring at her with joy and wonder in his eyes and a huge smile spreading across his face. Chance’s father was escorting her down the aisle and when they reached Chance he handed her over to his son then stepped to stand next to his wife. Chance took her arm and turned to face the priest who smiled warmly at them and began to speak.
