She looked at her brother with the warmest smile he had ever seen. She seemed, almost ethereal. He never saw her looking more beautiful.

"It is impossible to put into words." she said, softly. Gently, she rubbed her swollen belly where her kittens had settled back down and smiled again. "I can feel when they are awake and when they fall asleep. I can feel when they are anxious and when they are calm. I know what foods they like and which ones they do not. I can feel each one of their little hearts beating and can hear the sound of their giggles."

"You can HEAR that?!" Artemis exclaimed.

She smiled and nodded her head. "I know it sounds crazy, but I swear I can hear the sound of their laughter."

Artemis stared at his sister for a moment. He had never seen her more beautiful. There was almost an ethereal air around her. It was as if she were glowing.
