chapter 27

The sun was up and Pumyra was sleeping in her and Lion-o's bed. She woke up and didn't see him. Where's Lion-o? She wondered. Then she felt something it was kick. "My cub kicked," she said.

There was another kick and her stomach growled. "Telling me what you want already? Don't worry sweetie I'm hungry too." Pumyra said and carefully picked herself up. She went into the other room. "Where is Lion-o?" she asked.

"Oh he's out with Tygra, they are getting supplies." Cheetara said as she rocked the cub she and Tygra adopted.

"Why didn't he tell me?" Pumyra asked.

"He told us not to wake you," Panthro said.

"I wish he told me, I just want know, I worry," she said.

"Calm down take a deep breath and calm down," Panthro said.

"I want my Lion-o!" Pumyra said.

"Calm down Pumyra getting stressed isn't good for the baby." Cheetara said. Bengali began to suck his thumb.

Pumyra sat down and took a deep breath and began to relax. "I'm sure Lion-o will be back soon," she told her.

"I sure hope so," Pumyra said.

A couple of hours later Lion-o and Tygra came back. Tygra took Bengali into his arms. "Hey Pumyra how are you? Did you sleep well?" Lion-o asked.

Pumyra growled stood up. "Why didn't you tell me you were going out or where you were going?" she said.

"Pumyra I'm sorry I just," Lion-o said.

"I want to know where you are and when you might be back, because I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you to raise our baby on my own. I just worry about you and you don't care!" Pumyra said and started crying.

Lion-o came up and hugged her. "I'm sorry Pumyra, it's just you seemed so tired lately I decided not to wake you, so I told the others to let you sleep in today. Because I get worried and concerned about you, especially now. You are going to have a cub which means you need some specail care and treatment so you can have a healthy cub." Lion-o said.

"I hope so," Pumyra said.

Lion-o placed his hand on her belly. "Hey little one daddy is home now," he said. He gasped and looked surprise. "It kicked," he said.

"Yes it's been doing that a lot," Pumyra said.

"In couple of months we will have a little cub I wonder if it is a boy or a girl?" Lion-o said.

"We won't know until the cub is born," Pumyra said.
