Archer awoke, he looked at his clock and gasped.

“I'm late!” He leaped up and got dressed as quick as he could before racing out the door. He leaped into his car, clicked his seatbelt before starting the engine and pulling out of the drive.

He pulled up at a cafe, he brought the car to a stop, killing the engine he got it and hurried inside, a male black cat and female tabby cat say at a table.

He made his way over top them and sat down.

“John” The male cat said, holding out his hand.

“Archer.” Archer replied, shaking his hand.

“Are you sure your prepared to take care of Jade?.” The female asked.

“Yes, of course. I don't need to bring any extra supplies tho do I?” Archer responded.

“No, everything should be at the house.” John replied, “thank you for being available at such short notice.”

“No problem.” Archer replied. “I love taking care of little ones.” He smiled.

“Ok good, I think that's all we need, so tomorrow at 3:00 will do?” John said, standing up.

“Yes, that'll do just fine.” Archer replied, standing up and shaking both their hands, before they went their separate ways.

Jade sat on the couch the cartoons controlling his gaze, not many thoughts went through his mind as he watched the loony toons get up the their normal shenanigans.

         "Honey, are you hungry?" A voice cut into his concentration. Jade looked up to see his mom, a bottle in her hand, a smile on her face. Jade reached up for the bottle, eager for the formula, his pacifier fell from his muzzle and his diaper crinkled as he squirmed.

         "I'll take that as a yes." His mom said sitting down beside him, he went limp as she lifted him into her lap and began to feed him. The whole world disappeared as he suckled it was just him and his mom, and that's how it would always be.

Jade awoke from his nap to his mom changing his wet diaper, yawning he looked up warmly at his mom.

         "Morning honey." His mom said taping the clean diaper closed, she tickled his tommy getting an explosion of happy giggles. She lifted Jade from the changing table, holding him at her hip she carried him to the living room where Jade's father sat reading the newspaper.

Archer pulled up outside of the family’s house and cut the engine. He walked up to the door and knocked. A few moments later the door opened and John stood there, behind him the female black cat held the most adorable fluffy kitten. She looked down at the kitten and said,

“honey, this is Archer.” She handed the kitten to the young fox, Archer noticed resistance at first but soon the kitten cuddled into Archer's arms.

“You're so cute.” Archer whispered, but Jade was so wrapped up in how soft and cuddly the fox was he didn't notice his parents walk out the door. Archer carried the cuddly kitten with him as he made a bottle of baby formula and stuck it in the fridge, Jade watched from the shoulder of the fox as his home moved around him, and before long they plopped down on the couch.

        "Someone's in a cuddly mood today." The fox said untangling himself from the kitten and picking up the remote. "What do you wanna watch." Archer asked the kitten, who looked up shyly at his baby-sitter.

         "Cawtoons!" Jade replied happily, before snuggling up against Archer once again, as the fox flipped the channels till Cartoon Network came on. They watched the show for couple of hours before Archer got up and Jade too lost in his cartoons didn't notice his absence. Suddenly Jade felt a paw pull him, and he landed in Archer's lap, a bottle at his lips, Archer didn't even have to ask as Jade took the bottle in his muzzle and began to suckle. A smile spread across Archer's lips as the kitten began to purr, and before long the bottle was empty.

         "Somebody was hungry." Archer said, setting the empty bottle aside and putting Jade over his shoulder were here could play the kitten on the back, causing a few cute burps. Archer pulled the kitten into a hug, and said.

         "Your adorable." Jade yawned and curled up in Archer's lap, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep. "Guess it's bed time for you." Archer whispered, carrying the sleeping kitten up to his room, checking his diaper before placing him in his crib.

Archer shut off the ringer and descended the stairs, “hello?” Archer spoke into the phone.

“Hi, is this Archer?” An athorative voice replied.

“Yes?” Archer asked, a little worried now as she picked up a photograph of Jade's parents.

“Mr. And Mrs Quire have been in an accident.” The athorative voice replied.

“Oh, no. Are they ok?” Archer asked seeing the picture down, his heart rate has increased tenfold.

“No, they're deceased.” The athorative voice responded, but Archer had nothing else to say. “Are you still there sir? Did you hear me?”

“Y-yes I h-heard you.” Archer replied, “thanks f-for informing me.” Archer hung up and feel back into the couch, what now he thought, knowing what he knew about Jade he'd be fostered. . . Unless, Archer picked up his phone and began dialing.

A couple hours later he'd convinced his mom to adopt Jade and with that he went to bed, his mom would text him when to bring the kit over, when she'd finished the paperwork. Archer some too his phone alarm and headed out to his car, there was something he needed. The sun was Barrie over the horizon when he pulled up outside of Walmart, he hurried inside quickly buying a car seat and a few other supplies before hurrying back out again. The sun had finally rise above the horizon by the time he pulled into his driveway. The text on his phone told him he could take Jade home whenever. So he headed in and scaled the stairs in seconds, slowing as he neared the nursery door, he opened the door quietly and slipped inside. Jade was sleeping soundly, but as he lifted the young kit from his crib Jade blink open his eyes and yawned, Archer smiled, but couldn't keep the sadness from creeping in. He carried the kit downstairs and set him on the couch, turning on his favorite show. Archer continued packing as Jade watched and once he'd packed all of have Jade's stuff that they were taking he lifted Jade from the couch and carried him to the car, he buckled him into his new car seat before clicking his own seat belt and starting the engine he pulled away from Jade's old life and Jade smiled almost as if he was aware of the new chapter he was in in his life and was happy with it.
