I would like to thank Omegaknight14 for names for two of the cubs. Thank you so much, you rock :)

Anyway, on with the story!


Four weeks later…

The sun was just barely rising over Hyrax island. The sky was a beautiful mix of gold, red and purple as the sun was sneaking it's way over the snow covered mountain. All the animals were still fast asleep in the nests, caves and dens, except for three.

Out of the den, ran out a saber cub. He was the biggest cub and had golden fur with black stripes and hazel/green eyes that were shinning with excitement as he looked around.

"Come on, guys. What are you waiting for?" he called out to his siblings.

The next cub that walked out had golden fur and teal eyes that were still tired and were only open part way as he joined his brother, "Chase, remind me again why we have to get up so early?" he yawned.

"Early bird gets the worm. That's what dad always says" Chase answers as his sister walks outs.

"You realize it's only a figure of speech right, Chase?" asked their sister, who had white fur with black stripes and teal eyes that held un-amusement.

"Yea, why do have to take everything so literal?" the middle brother, Dustin asked as his sister, Luna stood next to them.

Chase rolled his eyes at his siblings, "Oh, lighten up you two, come on we have to get dad" Chase ran back inside the den while his siblings groaned, but followed him.

They ran into the den and up to the moss bed that their parents were currently sleeping on. Shira was snuggled up against Diego as he snored lightly, which didn't seem to bother Shira.

"Come on, dad get up!" Chase called to his father, when he got no answer he jumped onto the moss bed, "Dad? Dad, wake up, come on" he nudged his father.

Luna and Dustin looked at each other awkwardly and then back at their older brother's failed attempts to wake their father up.

"Come on, guys give me hand here" Chase called to his siblings who ran up to the moss bed and tried to wake their father up.

"Your kids are awake" Shira mumbled lazily.

"Before sunrise, they're your kids" Diego mumbled back.

Chase then grabbed his father's ear with his mouth and started tugging, "Dad…wake…up!" on one last tug, the ear slipped out of his grasp and he fell backwards on his back.

Dustin and Luna laughed at their brother's misfortune, "Shut up" Chase growled at his siblings a she ran back to his father and headbutted him, which woke him up.

"Dad, you promised" Chase narrowed his eyes at his father as he looked at him with sleepy eyes.

"Alright, I'm up. I'm up" Diego said as he began to stretch and let out a roaring yawn along with Shira.

"Sweet!" Chase cheered, "Let's go" he ran out of the den with his brother and sister right behind him.

The three saber cubs waited patiently for their parents outside of their den, well except for Chase who was jumping out of his fur in excitement.

Today was the day that Diego was gonna show the cubs around the island and Chase was very excited for it. Dustin and Luna were excited as well, but not as much as their older brother was.

Diego and Shira walked out of their den to meet their cubs. Luna walked up to her mother and rubbed against her leg, purring while her mother gave her a 'good morning' lick. Dustin and Chase ran up to their father and rubbed their heads against his side.

"Come on, kids" Diego said, "Let's get going"

Before they left, Diego gave Shira an affectionate lick on her cheek. Shira smiled proudly as she watched Diego and their cubs walk down the path.

As they were walking, the cubs were jumping around their father in excitement. Diego just smiled and shook his head as they continued to walk down the path. Their first stop was Switchback Cove, which Luna was very excited to see.

"Whoa" the three cubs said together in awe.

"That's so cool" Dustin said looking towards the cove.

"It's beautiful" Luna said looking out towards the ocean, "What's out there, papa?" Luna asked her father.

"Miles and miles of open sea" Diego answered, "you could get lost for days out there if you don't where you are or where you're going. Trust me, your mother, me, your uncle Sid and Uncle Manny know this all too well. Come on, kids we got more of the island to see"

Diego started walking on with Dustin and Chase close behind, but Luna stayed where she was. Her eyes were glued on the water, as if she was in some sort of trance and she couldn't look away.

"Luna?" Diego called to his daughter, when she didn't answer, he turned to see her still standing on the ledge, "Luna" he walked over to her and nudged her gently. She shook her head and looked around until she saw her father, "Are you okay, Luna?"

"Yea…" she said absentmindedly as she looked back out towards the water and had this distant look on her face.

Dustin and Chase looked at each other in confusion at their sister's behavior. They knew it was out of character for Luna, because she was never one to daydream or space out. She's usually very observant and pays attention almost all the time.

"Well, come on, we got more of the island to see" Diego said as he started walking and Luna followed him, but she still had a distant look on her face as she looked back out at the ocean.

As the morning went on, the strange incident with Luna was forgotten by her brothers, but not by her father. Concerned about what had gone on with his daughter, Diego made a mental note to talk to Shira about it.

Right now, he was enjoying seeing his cubs splashing around in the water having fun while the other animals were drinking. There were a few other saber cubs that his cubs were playing with, triplets like they were.

One of them was a boy named Nick who had a pale gold coat and sea green eyes. The other two sabers with him were his sisters, Jasmine and Vanessa. Jasmine had a reddish gold coat and emerald green eyes while Vanessa also had a reddish gold coat, she had sea green eyes.

"I'm gonna get you, Nick!" Chase shouted as he chased Nick around.

"No, you're not!" he shouted back as he ran past Manny, Ellie and Shira as they were approaching the watering hole.

"Hey, Softie" Shira said as she walked up to Diego and rubbed her face against his affectionately.

"Hey, Kitty" Diego replied returning the gesture.

Shira smiled as she leaned against Diego and they both watched as their kids were playing and having fun.

"They're going great" Shira said as she watched Luna play with Jasmine and Vanessa along with Dustin, Chase and Nick.

"Yea, they are" Diego said with a small smile, "And to think, we used to think that kids would be afraid of ours and they would be outcasts"

"And look at them now" Shira said proudly, "They're having the time of their lives out there"

"Yea" Diego sighed and then he decided to bring up the incident that happened with Luna, "Shira, something happened with Luna earlier"

"What?" she asked looking up at him with a concerned expression on her face, "What do mean? Did she get hurt or something?"

"No, nothing like that" Diego reassured with a shake of his head, "When I showed them where switchback cove was, Luna acted strange. She had this distant look on her face as she looked out at the ocean, like she was hypnotized or something. I thought it was pretty strange, what do you make of it?"

Shira thought hard, trying to come up with an explanation, but she couldn't.

"Maybe it was just a one-time thing with her" Shira said, sounding like she was trying to convince herself, "the important thing is that she and the boys weren't hurt, right?"

"Yea, you're right" Diego said and they decided to drop the subject for now and enjoy the moment.

Right now, they were enjoying each other's company, the company of their friends and sounds of laughter that came from their happy children. Nobody could be happier right now, living on a beautiful paradise that they call home, having wonderful friends and beautiful, happy children of their own. Life couldn't get any better for Diego and Shira now that they have a happy family of their own. Life was perfect and that's exactly how they wanted it to stay. Forever.

And there you have it! Again, thank you all for reading this, you're awesome. Also, I am thinking about writing a sequel because I have a few ideas for one. I'm gonna put a poll on my profile to see if you want me to write a sequel or not. And don't forget to review, Buh-bye for now! ;)
