An Au where Tygra is a girl named Tygriana and the clan is allies with Thundera.
chapter 1
Javan was the leader of the tiger clan he was a close friend of Claudius the king of Thundera. They were good friends. His wife Sirbriena was going to have a cub. Javan couldn't wait to become a father.
"I know that the tigers will have handsome little future chief," Javan said.
"Or beautiful chieftess." Sirbriena said.
It was going to be a wonderful time for the tigers the cub of the chief was going to arrive soon. They couldn't wait for the cub to arrive. The cub was very active doing a lot of kicking. "Ow!" Sirbriena said.
"What's wrong?" Javan asked.
"The cub kicked really hard just now," Sirbriena said.
Javan came over and knelt down to her growing belly. "Take it easy on your mother, I know you want to be out but you must wait." Javan said.
"Oh sweet heart, you can be so silly at times, let's just hope the cub listens." she said.
Today Sirbriena was talking to some other female tigers and one had a little cub and Sirbriena was the only one who was pregnant. "Your son is very cute," Sirbriena said. The other female tigers had to agree.
"Thank you," the mother said.
The other female touched Sirbriena's belly. "Look at that belly you are going to have that cub soon." she said.
"Yes in about two more months Javan and I are pretty excited." Sirbriena said.
"I think you are having a boy every wife of the chief has had a boy for generations ever since Tygus was chief." a younger female said.
"Now, now there is good chance it could be a girl," one of the older females chided.
"If it is girl will the blood of Tygus continue?" the young female asked.
"Most likely, the female carries the blood, and the child after will too, so any child born to the family will carry the blood of Tygus," the older female explained.
Sirbriena made a face and gasped. "Are you okay?" the new mother tiger asked.
"Yes the cub just gave a hard kick. It is doing a great dealing of kicking now and some of them are hard." Sirbriena said. "But it stopped." she said.
"I know how that feels my son did a lot of kicking before he was born." the new mother said.
Sirbriena sighed and rubbed her belly.
Javan came home a bit later. "Hello my love," he said.
"Hello, Javan," she said and kissed him.
They were sitting down together. Sirbriena felt another kick. "Little one please stop, you're hurting mommy." she said.
"The cub must be doing a lot of kicking," Javan said.
"Yes and the cub is very strong, I hope he or she doesn't literally hurt me," she said.
Javan just held her close and chuffed with affection. Sirbriena leaned back and relaxed. "My lovely Sirbriena soon we will be parents." he said.
"I know, I just hope our cub is healthy, that is what I want. I don't care if the cub is a boy or a girl." she said.
"Yes all we want is a healthy cub." he agreed.
Sirbriena was now heavy with the cub.
On a chilly winter day Javan was with another council member discussing things. Sirbriena was by herself. Caspin came in. "Sirbriena, Javan sent me here to check on you," Caspin said.
"I'm fine he has nothing to worry about." she said. Then she grunted and made a face.
"Are you okay?" Caspin asked.
"I think so I just need to go to bathroom." she said. Then went to relieve herself. Caspin was just about to leave when she came out. "My water broke," she said.
Caspin gasped he was startled about this Sirbriena was going to give birth. "Hang on I'll get the midwives," Caspin said. He ran outside. He saw the midwives close by. He ran to them. "You must come quickly Sirbriena is in labor," he said.
The midwives rushed off. "I'll go get Javan," Caspin said.
"You do that," one of the midwives said.
Caspin hurried to find Javan while the midwives left to help Sirbriena.
Once at the house the midwives took Sirbriena to the birthing room.
Caspin saw Javan and ran to him. "Caspin why are you back? I asked you to be with Sirbriena," Javan said.
"The cub is coming," Caspin said.
"WHAT?! I better get going," Javan said. Then hurried to his house.
Once at the house the midwives made him wait outside since Sirbriena was so close to the birth. Javan would worry when heard her scream. Then he heard what he was waiting to hear. It was a cub's crying.
Sirbriena heard her baby's cries. Her eyes filled with tears. She saw her cub getting cleaned up. "It's a girl," one of the midwives said.
The midwife came out. Javan saw her and came up to her. "Is she alright?" Javan asked.
"Yes, she's just tired." the midwife said.
Javan sighed in relief his wife was alright. "I'm a father now," he said.
"Yes you are now the father of beautiful little girl," the midwife said.
"I have a daughter," Javan said. "May see my new daughter?" he asked.
"Of course," the midwife said.
Javan came in and saw his wife she was smiling. He saw swaddled tightly in a warm blanket was his new daughter. She was so small. "Look at her Javan, isn't she beautiful?" she asked.
"Yes she is, so lovely. No doubt about it she will be a lovely women when she grows up." Javan said.
"Would you like to hold her?' she asked him.
"Yes I would love too," Javan said. He took the tiny cub into his arms. The little girl shuffled around in her blanket. "You don't won't to shuffle out of that sweetie it's very cold here," he said.
"Javan you are so sweet with her," Sirbriena said. "What should we name her?" she asked.
"I was thinking Tygriana." Javan said.
"What a pretty name," Sirbriena said.
"Welcome to the world Tygriana," Javan said. "You are a very specail girl." he said.
Then Tygriana started to cry. Sirbriena took Tygriana back into her arms and got herself ready. Then started to nurse her daughter. Tygriana began to drink her mother's milk. Javan watched his daughter nurse. He gently touched her hair it was so soft.
"My lovely little girl." he cooed. Javan knew he had to go out soon and tell his people that he is now a father of a lovely daughter.
Outside many of the tigers got into a fuss they saw Javan running to his home. One of the tigers he almost ran into recalled him saying. "My wife is having a baby!"
The other tigers were sure that Javan was now a proud father. They saw Javan come out. They were wondering what Javan had to say. All of them began talking at once. "Quiet!" Javan said.
They quieted right down. "Okay, now I have an announcement to make," Javan said. "My wife Sirbriena has given birth," he said.
The tigers looked so happy. "You are now a father lord Javan how wonderful." one of the tigers said.
"How is the little guy?" one of them asked.
"Yes I bet he looks just like you," another said.
"I hope he is healthy." another one said.
"Quiet," Javan said. "Both mother and child are fine," he said. The other tigers looked really happy.
"Tells about the little guy, does he look like you?' said a member of the council.
'Hang on let him speak," Caspin said. All the tigers became quiet.
"Thank you Caspin," Javan said. Caspin nodded his head. "Now I have to correct you all on something the cub is beautiful little girl," he said.
The other tigers looked shocked a female cub had been born to the family of the chief. That had never happened before every tiger chief had always had a son. "You have daughter?" one of the surprised tigers asked.
"Yes and she is just as lovely as her mother." Javan said. "Her name is Tygriana," he said.
"Can we see her?" one of council members asked.
"Not right now I'm afraid, Sirbriena is really tired and Tygriana is little and shouldn't have so much contact with other's before her body can build up it's defenses." Javan said.
The tigers made a disappointed groan. "Calm down in a couple of weeks you will get to meet her." Javan said.
Meanwhile Tygriana being settled down by her mother. Where am I? Why is it dark? Why is it cold? What is this warm thing wrapped around me? What is touching me? What with all these smells and sounds? Tygriana thought. She didn't know what strange world she had been thrown into. Her eyes will remain closed until she is at least 10 days old.
Javan went back inside to be with his family. He touched his daughter's little hand. "I'm so happy that you gave me a healthy daughter," he said.
"It is up to us to help her grown into the woman she is to be." she said.
To be continued.
