I've been wanting to this for quite sometime. I love Diego and Shira, I think they are the cutest couple ever!

Enjoy! :)


Diego and Shira were perched on the top of a ledge that stood above a lake in Geotopia. Below them, sat Julian and Peaches by the lake as Julian was comforting Peaches. Behind them, stood Manny and Ellie, who looked out towards the lake as they watched their daughter and her fiancé.

The two overlooked the lake as they gazed at the crystals that shined and glistened across the gentle current of the lake. They were snuggled up together as Shira leaned her head against Diego's shoulder and Diego placed his head-on top of hers, gently.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Shira asked as she gazed at the Geotopian crystals.

"Yea, it is, but it's not as beautiful you" Diego said as he looked at her.

She chuckled lightly, "Even with the world ending, you still manage to be a charmer" she looked up at him.

"I try" Diego answered with a smirk as he looked in to her teal eyes.

She smiled small before it turned into a frown. She looked down at her paws, "I guess this it, isn't? The end of everything"

Diego didn't want to admit it, but she was right, "Yea, I guess it is" he sighed sadly.

"I still can't believe it" Shira said, "It feels like our lives just started and now they're ending so suddenly"

"I know" Diego answered, "It seems like only yesterday we got married and now everything is ending"

Shira eyes filled with tears as she pressed her head against Diego's chest under his neck, "Diego, if this really is it, I want you to know that l I love more than anything else" the tears then began to spill from her eyes, "I don't know what I would do without you in my life, I probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. You opened my eyes and showed me that there was a better way to live than the way I used to and you were right; I found a better life and a better family with you and the others. I can't thank you enough, Diego"

Diego nuzzled closer to her, "You don't have to thank me, Shira"

"But I want to" Shira stated, "You gave me a better life and I'm eternally grateful to you. I'm also grateful that I get to be here with you, the love of my life, my lover, my big Sofie, my best friend, my mate and my husband"

Diego smiled to himself as she buried her face in his chest, "I'm the one who's grateful, Shira. I'm grateful that I found someone as beautiful, loving and wonderful as you. You are the best thing that's ever happened to me, Shira. You mean everything to me. You are my everything, my world" Diego nuzzled her closer to him, "Before I met you, I don't know how I made it as far as I did in my life, but now, I can't even imagine my life without you in it. You complete me and my life"

Shira smiled, "Oh, Diego…"

"I meant it, Shira" Diego said as he moved his head up and she looked up at him, "I love you more than you'll ever know and you mean to me more than anything else. I'd do anything for you, Shira; I'd fight off Gutt and his entire crew a million times over by myself if it meant to keep you safe and to protect you. There's nothing I wouldn't do for you" he gently licked the side of her face.

She smiled at him as her eyes filled with happy tears and she pressed her forehead against his. She looked into his bright hazel/green eyes, "You mean everything to me, too Diego. You gave me a reason to live again and you made life worth living for me. If anything, ever happened to you, I wouldn't be able to live with myself"

Diego smiled as he stared into her beautiful, intense teal eyes, "I'm also grateful that I get to spend my last remaining time with you, Shira. My soulmate, my lover, my Kitty, my best friend, my mate and my wife; I can't imagine spending it with anyone else"

Shira smiled sadly up at him and then she looked down, "Diego, I need to tell you something"

"What is it?" He asked.

"Remember the other day when we were talking about starting a family, but I was hesitant about it?" Shira asked as she looked back up at him.

"Yea, why?"

"Diego, I'm…I'm pregnant"

Diego blinked as he moved his head back, "What? Are you sure?"

Shira nodded her head sadly, not looking at him, "I started noticing that I was having weird nausea and cramps, so I talked to Ellie about it. She said she had similar symptoms when she was pregnant with Peaches"

"How long have you known?" He asked.

"About a week" Shira answered, looking up at him, "I've been meaning to tell you, but I wasn't sure how and I was waiting for the right time"

Diego was silent for a few seconds as he let what she just told him sink into his mind.

When he didn't say anything, Shira got worried, "I'm sorry I didn't say something sooner, but I don't think it would've made any difference right now"

"Of course, it does" Diego said as she looked back at him, "It does make a difference now because it makes every moment more precious"

Fresh tears now filled Shira's eyes as she buried her face in his chest and the tears spilled out. Diego nuzzled closer to her and tried to comfort her the best way he could.

"Do you think we would've been good parents?" Shira asked softly as she opened her eyes to look up at him.

"Yea, we would've made pretty good parents" Diego answered her with a small smile on his face.

They were silent after that, they just stayed there nuzzled against each other as they enjoyed each other's company. They were cherishing every last moment they had left with each other and were both honored to have each other during this time of fear and despair. They each gave each other the strength they needed to be able to get through this together. To spend their last moments together.

Let me know in a PM or review if you want to make more chapters or a squeal to this. I will leave it as incomplete for now until you guys let me know what you want me to do. Thank you for reading, Buh-Bye! :)
