It's been a few years since Gia's been kidnapped, and she and Alex have been busy...
"C'mon, Gia! C'mon!" Alex gripped Gia's paw as Gia yelled. Finally Gia opened her eyes in relief. Melman held up a crying girl with a lions body, but spots. Gia reached for the infant and held her in her arms. "Now comes the hardest part." Gia panted. Alex's ears lowered slightly. "What?" Gia chuckled. "What we're gonna name her." Alex smiled too as he touched the tiny kitten's head. "Can you get me another one of those tiny oranges, Alex?" Gia asked. "You mean a Clementine?" Alex corrected as he went to get the fruit. Gia had been eating fruits more for the cub. "Clementine... Hmmm" Gia thought. "What do you think sweetie?" She asked as she nursed her. The cub made a little noise. Gia giggled.
Alex came back with a Clementine in his hand. "Here, G." He gave her the fruit. As Gia peeled it, she asked Alex, "What do you think about Clementine?" Alex looked at the ceiling. That means he's thinking. "Well, I've never had them before, and you know I'm not a fan of fruit..." He said. Gia laughed. "No, kitty!" She nudged him playfully. She sometimes called him kitty. "I mean a name!" Alex tilted his head. "Wait, wait, wait, you want to name her Clementine?" He asked. Gia nodded. Alex thought for a bit, then smiled. "Yeah...yeah ok. But if we have another cub, I'm naming him. Or her." He said. Gia giggled.
5 Years Later...
"Alright, Clem, where'd you go now?" Alex checked under the bed, in the closet, and his sneaky daughter was no where to be seen. That's when he heard a thump from on top of the train cart. He shook his head and walked outside. "Man, I can't seem to find her anywhere!" Alex acted. "Ok, Clem! You got me!" He yelled. Silence. That's when Alex grabbed a jumping cub right out of the air set her on the ground. "Gotcha, Clem!" He laughed. "You knew I was on top of the cart, daddy!" Clementine complained. Alex lifted the young liguar. "Hehe, so, you hungry?" He asked. Clementine bounced on his shoulders. "Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" She giggled. Alex laughed as he brought her inside.
Clementine was wearing her, "I'm a big sister!" shirt that she got as a surprise gift from Gia. She looked and acted a lot like Alex, but had some Gia in her. She had Alex's blue eyes, his golden brown fur, and his adventurous attitude. But she also had Gia's flowery spots, her heart shaped paws, and her laugh. "What does Mr. Melman said?" She asked. Alex rolled his eyes. "What did Mr. Melman say, Clem. Remember your grammar." He said. When he said the words did and say, he tickled her neck, causing her to almost fall off his shoulders. Clementine was extremely intelligent for a 5 year old, but sometimes she would make little mistakes. "Anyway, Melman gave us a little surprise." Alex said as he handed her a piece of fish. Clem's blue eyes widened as she swallowed the fish with large satisfaction. "What?" She asked. Alex set her down. "That your mom isn't going to have one new addition to the family. We've got twins!" He said. Clementine jumped with joy. "Woah! Twins! This will gonna be great!" She giggled. Alex poked her. "This is gonna be great." He corrected her. Then he held up his paws and wiggled his fingers. Clem gasped. "No! No!" She backed away, which turned to running outside before she was scooped off the ground and tickled furiously. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! DADDY STOP IT! STOP!" She laughed.
Alex and Clementine came back inside later. Gia was making a pink necklace for Clementine that looked just like hers. "What were you rascals doing out there?" She joked. Clem giggled. "We played hide and seek and then we played tickle-saurus!" She said. Gia gave Alex a look. "Oh. That game." She smirked.
That's when Gia dropped the necklace for Clem. "Alex..." She looked at him. Alex's eyes widened. "It's time isn't it?" He asked. Gia nodded. Alex ran to her side. "Clem, get Melman. Now!" He yelled. Clementine was terrified, but she ran to Melman's cart. "Mr. Melman! Mommy needs help!" She said. Alex was already carrying Gia into Melman's cart. When Gia was laid on the bed, Alex told Clementine to leave them alone and to find Marty. Clem did as she was told.
"Uncle Marty!" Clem ran up to Marty. Marty smiled. "Hey, kiddo!" He said. "What's up?" His smile faded when he saw Clementine's worried face. "Woah, kid. What's wrong?" He asked, concerned. Then he heard Gia yelling, and his eyes widened. "Hoo, boy." He exclaimed. Clem pawed at him. "What's wrong with her?" She asked. "I think you're 'bout to meet your little brothers." He smiled. Clementine gasped softly. "No way!" She beamed. Marty nodded. "Way, kiddo! Way!" He laughed.
Alex later left the cart and Clem went running up to him. "Is mommy ok?" She asked. Alex stroked her head. "Mommy's fine." He said. "You want to help me name your brothers?" Clem jumped with joy. "Do I!" She giggled. Marty gave Alex a look while Clementine ran to see her brothers. "I still can't believe it." He said. Alex sighed. "What now?" He smirked. "I'm older than you, and you have a wife and kids, and I don't even have a girlfriend yet!" Marty ranted. Alex just rolled his eyes.
"What are you gonna name them?" Clementine asked. "I'm not gonna name them, sweetie." Said Gia. "Your dad is. We agreed that if we had any more kids, he'd name them since I named you." Alex walked in. "You didn't name them yet, did you?" He asked. Gia shook her head. "No I didn't." She said. Alex chuckled. He pointed at golden furred (like Gia's) lion with tiny mane. "Let's call you... Leroy. " He decided. Then he looked at the golden brown furred (like Alex's) jaguar. "And you can be... Hunter." He said. Gia smiled. "I like those names." She said. Alex shrugged. "Yeah. I'm a genius." Clementine walked up to her brothers. "Hi Leroy. Hi Hunter. I'm your big sister Clementine." She said sweetly. Alex and Gia smiled. Three kids. This was gonna be fun. At least that's what they thought until they realized what trouble makers Leroy and Hunter turned out to be.
