chapter 1

Claudius and Leona Roarson lead a happy married life. But they were longing for a child. Claudius was the CEO of Roarson's hospital and Roarson's children's hospital. While his wife was a pediatrician at the children's hospital. Leona loved being around children. They hoped one day they would have their child. Their friends Javan and Sirbriena Stripper had a two year old son named Tygra.

Claudius and Leona hoped if they had child they knew the child had to follow their own dream. But Claudius needed someone to inherit his company but he is thrilled his nephew the son of his brother who also works for his company is interested. So if his own kid wants something different his nephew can take over.

A couple of weeks later Leona wasn't feeling well. She was resting bed. She felt so nauseous. So she took a pregnancy test and she saw it was positive. Claudius came home and she showed him. He saw the test. He hugged and kissed her. "This is the most wonderful news." he said.

They started to prepare for the baby. Claudius told his employees about the baby. "You're going to be a father that is wonderful," one of them said.

His brother came up and explained how Leona was going to change during the pregnancy. Claudius knew it was a challenge but they could handle it.

The next couple of months went smoothly. Now Leona was having a checkup. "You and the baby are fine." The

Doctor said.

Leona was soon in her second trimester. Her coworkers were happy for her. The children that came in had a lot of questions for her. Leona couldn't help but smile.

Today they were going to find out the gender. The doctor took a look. "Congratulations it's a boy," he said.

Claudius and Leona were happy to hear it. The nursery was now a soft blue. They even picked out a name Lion-o.

Now that Leona was in her third trimester all they had to do was make sure to be ready when the stork would arrive.

Early in the morning of July 8th Leona and Claudius were sleeping. Leona woke up from a very light sleep. She was very uncomfortable the past couple of nights had been restless. But tonight she was in pain. The pain went away and came back every 25 minutes. "Claudius," she said shaking him awake.

"What is it?" He asked.

"It's time, I'm having contractions." She said.

"Oh my we got get you to the hospital." Claudius said.

"Claudius calm down, I don't think I'm anywhere close to giving birth. My contractions are too far apart." Leona said.

"Leona, are you going to be okay?" Claudius asked he thought that she was going to need a hospital pretty soon.

"Yes I'm sure," Leona said.

Claudius was very worried especially when Leona was having a contraction. Pretty soon Leona was holding on to Claudius for comfort from the pain. "Claudius the hospital we need to go now," She said.

Claudius got the bag and placed it in the car and drove to the hospital. Leona's doctor was there. "I see its time Leona," he said.

Leona was being monitored. Then a few hours later just an hour before lunch. Leona gave birth to her healthy baby boy.

Leona and Claudius saw their son. His hair was red and his eyes were blue. He was perfect. They could tell he was going to be very handsome when he grew up. The doctor gave Leona her son.

"Hello Lion-o, mommy and daddy have been waiting to meet you," She said. Lion-o just fussed and cried. "I know sweetie I know," she cooed.

Now Claudius was holding his son he felt so soft and warm. It was wonderful he was a father now.

Soon they brought baby Lion-o home. Leona's phone rang. It was the children's hospital. They wanted to congratulate her and told her they looked forward to seeing her in two months.

Lion-o was real joy to have. He was very sweet and he was growing up. He was now a sweet little four year old he always asked questions. His parents tried to answer his questions.

Lion-o was still growing. He grew and grew and grew.

Now he was no longer a child he was a young man. He had just graduated high school. His parents were very proud.

He was going to Thundera medical tech. He was packing up his things. His parents sighed as they watched him leave.

"Oh Claudius our baby has left. Leona said.

"Don't worry Leona he'll be fine," Claudius said.
