Chapter 1

Uma Metzer sighed happily as she leaned back in her chair at Le hotel Champlain. She looked over at Kitty Petro and Carmelita Fox, being hugged by all of their friends in congratulations for getting pregnant. As she looked on she felt a strong hand on her shoulder. She looked over her shoulder into the face of Aslan Jaeger, her new boyfriend.

"Guten tag libechen," Aslan said with a smile giving his lady love a quick kiss, "aren't you going to congratulate your friends?" Uma looked over at Kitty and Carmelita. She had been shocked when she had seen who it was that Yuri Sing had married and suddenly a lot of things had made sense to her, from when Carmelita left the force, to the tip they had received that helped them finally take down Polarsky, to the help that Trish had had in arresting Keiko with all the evidence they needed to put her away, and finally this moment when she was now in the very hideout of the notorious Cooper Gang. Initially she had wanted to go to the chief, but she had given Kitty a chance to explain. This had proven to be a big mistake, or perhaps not, because Kitty had a way of making people do what she wanted them to. It had taken some time but Uma had finally relented and agreed not to tell the chief and now she and Aslan were in on the huge secret that had been going on in Paris for two years that day.

Uma rose and gave Aslan a good once over and smiled at what she saw before she went over to see Carmelita and Kitty. She stood there for a few moments and when neither of them took notice of her she forcefully and loudly cleared her throat. This got both Kitty and Carmelita's attention and they turned to greet Uma, who gave both of them a strong hug.

"Glückwünsche my freundines," she said smiling. Kitty laughed, though she felt some strain as Uma was quite strong.

"Thanks Uma… Um, you can let go now." Uma realized just how tight she was squeezing and released her friends. Kitty looked at Uma and asked.

"So how are you and Aslan doing?"

"Very well actually"

"Is it still a strange to date someone with a lower rank than yours?" Kitty added.

Uma chuckled and shook her head. "Something tells me you know the answer to that question already Kitty," she replied. Uma was about to speak again when a feminine laugh rang out and the three girls turned to see Trish Connelly coming over to them with a lupine guy standing right behind her.

"Congratulations you two," Trish said as she hugged Kitty and Carmelita. Unlike Uma, Trish let them go before either of them had to ask her to. After the hug she turned to the wolf next to her and said, "May I introduce you to Derian Lambert?" Kitty smiled and went over to Derian.

"Good day Derian. So how long have you and Trish been dating?" Trish blushed deep red. Carmelita sighed, rolled her eyes, and Kitty's ear, dragging her away. "Ouch, I was kidding!" Kitty complained, squirming a bit in Carmelita's strong grip. Uma and Trish laughed and were soon joined by two other females, Yuri and Naomi. Yuri was holding her own snow leopard son, Philipe, and Naomi was holding Yuri's snow leopard daughter, Celeste.

"Ah guten morgen Frau Sing," Uma said nodding to Yuri, she then turned to Naomi. "The same to you Fraulein Rousseau."

"Bonjour, Mademoiselles," Yuri said nodding. Uma's eyes had lowered her eyes to rest her gaze on little Philipe Yuri's arms.

"They have grown a lot since we took care of the children during the wedding," Uma remarked. As she gazed at the child, Uma's arms began twitching as she remembered what it had been like to hold a child in her arms, now she really wanted to feel what that was like again.

"Aye I remember," Trish laughed. "Little Philipe there used all the time tugging at the tuft on your ear." Yuri blinked and looked down at Philipe who had opened his eyes and smiled adorable at his mom, looking as though he were trying to appear innocent of what Trish had just said.

"Um Frau Sing," Uma said in a low voice. "Do you think I could…?" Yuri smiled in understanding and handed Philipe over to Uma who smiled and took the child in her arms. "Hey there mein kleiner Prinz," Uma muttered in a soft voice as she tickled the child. Uma winched when snow leopard child got a good hold of Uma's left ear, laughing as the tuft tickled him. Trish laughed and helped Uma get free from Phillip's grip. Uma rubbed her now sore ear and handed Yuri's little prince back to her.

"Your boy has got quite the grip Frau Sing. Maybe I'll see him in the QRF someday when he grows up ja?" Yuri smiled.

"Depends on if that's what he wants, Fraulein Metzer. Oh and please call me Yuri." Uma nodded.

"Of course Yuri, as long as you call me Uma."

"Deal," Yuri said smiling. Uma looked over at her boyfriend noticed that Aslan was yawning.

"I think it's time I left the party. Aslan and I have much to do tomorrow," Uma said, standing up. Trish nodded.

"Yes I think Derian and I should hit the home front too." Uma and Trish said goodbye to Yuri, Naomi, Kitty and Carmelita, thanking them for throwing the party. As they left, Kitty and Carmelita both smiled at each other. They both knew that from now on things were going to be very different.
