The morning sun streamed gently through the windows of the small countryside home. Birds chirped outside, and the air carried a refreshing coolness. Inside, Mom sat by the wooden table, her hand resting on her belly. She was pregnant, and though her face glowed with happiness, her movements had become slower, more careful.
Her companions, CUTIS—the golden retriever with big, intelligent eyes—and Mimi, the mischievous yet loving baby monkey, watched her closely. They sensed that something was different. Mom needed rest, comfort, and care, and both of them decided, in their own way, that they would take on the role of protectors and helpers.
But CUTIS and Mimi were not ordinary pets. Together, they were a team with endless creativity, loyalty, and mischief. And when they saw Mom’s tiredness, they secretly hatched a plan: to take care of pregnant Mom in the most special and surprising way.
The Spark of an Idea
It started one afternoon when Mom was folding baby clothes and suddenly sighed, holding her back. CUTIS padded over, nudging her hand with his nose, while Mimi climbed onto her lap, patting her belly as though saying, “Don’t worry, we’ve got this.”
Later that day, CUTIS lay on the porch, staring thoughtfully at the clouds, while Mimi sat beside him munching on a banana. CUTIS gave a soft bark, and Mimi tilted her head as though listening to a secret plan. With gestures, playful growls, and the unique understanding that only they shared, they began planning.
Their mission was clear: make Mom’s days easier, fill her with joy, and protect her with all their heart.
Operation Comfort
The first stage of their plan was simple—comfort.
When Mom sat in her chair, CUTIS would quietly drag a pillow with his teeth and place it behind her back. At first, Mom was surprised, laughing softly, “Oh CUTIS, you sweet boy.” Mimi quickly followed, rushing to bring a small blanket, though it was too big and trailed across the floor. She tugged and tugged until it reached Mom’s lap, then proudly patted it down as if she had arranged everything perfectly.
Mom couldn’t help but smile, her heart warming. She thought it was coincidence. But CUTIS and Mimi exchanged a look—they knew their secret plan was working.
At night, CUTIS would curl at the foot of Mom’s bed, guarding her as she slept. Mimi, refusing to be outdone, would curl beside Mom’s pillow, occasionally reaching over to pat her hair as if soothing her dreams. Together, they created a cocoon of safety and comfort.
Operation Nutrition
Pregnant Mom needed healthy food, and CUTIS and Mimi decided they would help.
One morning, CUTIS trotted to the garden, sniffing out fresh vegetables. He carefully nudged ripe cucumbers with his nose until Mom noticed and picked them. Mimi, meanwhile, climbed the mango tree outside and shook down two perfect fruits, proudly carrying them in her tiny hands to the kitchen.
When Mom prepared meals, they both sat nearby, watching closely. CUTIS would fetch small baskets, and Mimi would try to imitate Mom by “helping” stir (though sometimes making a bigger mess than help). The kitchen filled with laughter, and Mom began to realize how intentional her little companions had become.
“You two are really looking after me, aren’t you?” she whispered one evening, stroking their heads. CUTIS wagged his tail furiously, while Mimi clapped her hands in delight.
Operation Protection
The countryside was peaceful, but CUTIS’s instincts told him to be vigilant. Pregnant Mom needed safety. From that day on, whenever Mom walked in the yard, CUTIS stayed by her side like a shadow. His alert ears caught every rustle in the bushes.
Mimi took her own protective duties seriously too. If anyone came too close, even a curious chicken from the yard, Mimi would chatter loudly, waving her little arms as though warning, “Back off—Mom is precious!”
Together, they formed an invisible shield, making sure no harm ever came near her.
The Special Surprise
But CUTIS and Mimi weren’t finished. They wanted something even more surprising, something unforgettable.
One quiet afternoon, when Mom was resting, CUTIS nudged Mimi and they both dashed outside. CUTIS went to the storage shed and pulled out a small basket with his teeth. Mimi, quick and nimble, filled it with flowers she picked from the garden—bright marigolds, tiny daisies, and fresh jasmine blossoms. CUTIS added a soft cloth from the laundry line, carefully folding it with his paws as best as he could.
They arranged it together: a little gift basket, a symbol of love.
Then, with great teamwork, they carried it inside. CUTIS dragged the basket slowly, while Mimi held the flowers proudly on top. They placed it right in front of Mom’s chair.
When Mom opened her eyes, she gasped. “Oh my goodness! Did you two… do this for me?”
Her eyes welled with tears. She stroked their heads, overwhelmed by the effort and thoughtfulness. CUTIS wagged his tail so hard it thumped the floor, while Mimi squeaked with joy, clapping her hands and hugging Mom’s belly as if hugging the baby inside.
Mom’s Realization
From that day forward, Mom no longer thought of CUTIS and Mimi as just her pets. They were her helpers, her guardians, and most importantly, part of her family who already loved the unborn baby deeply.
She often spoke to her belly, smiling, “You’re already so loved. CUTIS and Mimi can’t wait to meet you.”
And indeed, every night, CUTIS would lay his head gently against her belly, listening quietly, while Mimi pressed her tiny ear, giggling when she thought she heard movement. Their bond with the unborn baby was already forming, invisible yet undeniable.
The Most Special Way
What made their care most surprising wasn’t just the little acts—fetching pillows, guarding her sleep, bringing fruits and flowers. It was their understanding, their unity, and their devotion. CUTIS and Mimi, two very different beings, worked together with one heart.
They reminded Mom every day that love doesn’t need words. Sometimes it’s in the wag of a tail, the touch of a tiny hand, or a basket of flowers placed quietly at your feet.
Epilogue: A Promise
As the weeks went on, Mom’s belly grew, and so did CUTIS and Mimi’s sense of responsibility. They became her shadows, her comforters, her protectors. And deep down, they made a silent promise: when the baby finally arrived, they would extend their love to the new little one just as fiercely.
CUTIS’s eyes sparkled with loyalty, Mimi’s chatter grew softer when near Mom, and together they proved that care and family are not bound by species.
Their plan to take care of pregnant Mom wasn’t just surprising—it was extraordinary. It was love in its purest, most unexpected form.
And Mom, with tears of joy and a heart full of gratitude, knew she would never be alone. She had CUTIS, Mimi, and soon, a baby who would be welcomed into the warmest, most loving family anyone could dream of.
