chapter 1

Claudius and Tylee were happily married. It had been three years since they got married. They were a beloved king and queen.

They went into their room and made love. They hoped to have a baby soon.

One day Tylee realized she was pregnant. "Claudius I have some good news," Tylee said.

"What is it?" Claudius asked.

"You are going to be a father." Tylee said.

"You're pregnant?" Claudius asked.

Tylee nodded and Claudius hugged her and kissed her. They were so happy.

Claudius watched as Tylee's belly grew. He rubbed it and kissed it. "I can't wait to meet you my future prince or princess." he said.

"Oh Claudius you can be so silly." Tylee said.

Soon the baby would be born.

Tylee was growing heavy with her baby. Claudius was tending to her and had her every desire answered. "Claudius I hope the baby comes soon because I never felt more expectant, I hope to give birth soon because it feels so close." Tylee said.

"I think it will be soon," Claudius said.

"I think it's a boy," Tylee said.

"We won't know until it's born let's see if you're right," Claudius said.

Then one chilly winter night Tylee went into labor. Claudius was by her side. He was holding her hand. "You must leave Claudius birth is very private," the midwife said.

Tylee grasped Claudius' hand tightly as she cried out in pain. Claudius stroked her hair. "I want him here," Tylee said.

"I'm sorry Tylee you need more privacy so Claudius has to go, he'll be back as soon as the baby is born." the midwife said.

"I'll be back I promise," Claudius said kissing her.

Claudius went outside waited and waited. He was pacing and getting worried. "Come on Tylee, come on," he said.

Tylee was in the birthing room. "Push! Tylee push!" the midwife said.

Tylee cried out in pain and pushed as she tried to bring her baby into the world. The baby started crying. "It's a boy!" the midwife said.

She now held her healthy baby boy. "Hello son," she said.

The midwife came out. "It's a boy," she told Claudius said.

Claudius rushed into the room and saw Tylee holding their newborn son. He sat next her. "He's perfect." Claudius said. The baby looked more like a tiger.

"Let's name him Tygra." Tylee said.

"That's a nice name," Claudius said.

Thundera now had a prince.
