chapter 2
The next day the other Thundercats were eager to hear if the baby was a boy or a girl. "What is it Pumyra?" Bengali asked.
"Yes tell us," Snarfer said.
"You all will have to wait until Lion-o and Liosia come in with the news," Pumyra said. "Speaking of which here comes Lion-o." she said.
"Everyone I have great news, rather than tell you I'll show you," Lion-o said. "Come on Liosia," he said.
Liosia came in with a baby cradled in each arm. "Everyone presenting my son Leo, and my daughter Lislia," Lion-o said.
"Hey Wilykit and I were right," Wilykat said.
"Well what do you know twin brother and sister," Panthro said.
"Look at at Leo he looks just like his father," Bengali said.
"He does," Tygra said.
"Look at Lislia she looks like her mother," Cheetara said.
"Both are fine looking babies," Pumyra said.
"They both sound healthy," Lynx-o said.
"They are so cute," Snarfer said.
"Aw look them they are both so amazing, they look like they will be fine Thundercats some day," Snarf said.
"Snarf I can't think of anyone better to be the our twins nursemaid than you after all you did a great job doing it when I was little," Lion-o said.
"I would be happy too," Snarf said. "If they are anything like you I won't be bored," he said.
Everyone laughed at that.
Lislia saw Snarf and reached for him. "Snarf it looks like Lislia want's you," Liosia said and handed Snarf the baby.
Lislia curled up to Snarf and was acting all cute. "Look at that she's doing what Lion-o did as a baby when I first held him," Snarf said.
"Looks like she's taking after her father in some ways." Panthro said.
"Yes she is," Lion-o said.
"Can I hold one them?" Wilykit asked.
"Sure, just sit down first Wilykit and I will let hold Leo," Liosia said.
Wilykit sat down. "Okay remember to support his head, don't jostle him, don't drop him, basically be very careful and don't make sudden movements," Liosia said.
"Okay," Wilykit said. Then cradle Leo. "He so soft and warm," she said.
"Can I hold him next?" Wilykat said.
"Of course," Liosia said.
Wilykat got his turn holding Leo. The Lislia started to reach for Snarfer. "Looks like she's interested in Snarfer now," Bengali said.
"Would you like to hold her Snarfer?' Snarf asked.
"I guess but I never held a baby before," Snarfer said.
"Remember how Liosia told the Thunderkittens how to hold Leo you do the same for Lislia," Snarf said.
Snarfer was holding Lislia. "Hey I'm holding a baby," Snarfer said.
"Yes you are," Tygra said.
After that Liosia and Lion-o took the cubs back. "Okay everyone we have to put the other crib in the nursery to be ready for both babies." Lion-o said.
The second crib was put in and there were two bassinets and they were easy to tell apart one was blue and the other was pink so it was easy to tell which one was which. "They are perfect," Lion-o said.
"I love our son and daughter so much," Liosia said.
"You both are very lucky." Tygra said.
"Very lucky indeed," Cheetara said.
Life at cat's lair really changed after that. Every night Lion-o and Liosia would be woken by the twins' crying in fact it woke everyone at cat's lair. They weren't use to having a baby around cat's lair let alone two. It took some time to get use too. Lion-o and Liosia thought it would be really annoying to be woken by their babies' cries but they felt warmth that their children needed them.
They woke up one morning to crying a few months later. "Looks like it's time for breakfast," Liosia said.
"Better than at 2:00 am, at least now they are crying for today close to sunrise," Lion-o said.
"Okay let's take care of them," Liosia said.
They went into the nursery and picked up the cubs. Liosia started to nurse them. Leo felt like he was slipping so he pulled up and bit down. "Ouch!" Liosia said.
"What's wrong?" Lion-o asked.
"Your son was starting to loosen and then he bit down, it hurts because now he has some teeth," Liosia said.
"Okay I will give him a bottle," Lion-o said.
"Lion-o are you sure?" Liosia said. "They rarely get bottles," she said.
"Well better time now since they are starting to take to biting down," Lion-o said.
"It's okay but if you insist," Liosia said handing him Leo.
Lion-o took a bottle and tried to give it to Leo. Leo was being stubborn about it. "May I be of assistance?" Snarf asked.
"Yes I would love your help." Lion-o said.
Snarf squeezed a little of the formula out and let Leo suck on his finger and pulled it way nodded. Leo then started to suck on the bottle. "Thanks, how did you know that would work?" Lion-o asked.
"I did it with you when you were transitioning to the bottle Leo takes after you in that," Snarf said.
"I see," Lion-o said.
"If that doesn't work just be persistent it will pay off," Snarf said.
"Okay," Lion-o said.
They placed the twins in their play pen in the command center with their toys. Now things were calm and they could relax.
