chapter 3
After a couple of weeks Liosia and Lion-o would still spend time together even have sex from time to time. Valtina would sometimes tease Liosia. "Look at Lion-o's little love bug," she would say in rude voice.
Liosia knew that Valtina liked Lion-o and was trying to humiliate her. She just ignored her. Liosia got use to the mating mark Lion-o left. She accepted it by kissing Lion-o and telling him I would love to be your mate.
Liosia was in the middle of her shift when she got sick to her stomach and she ran to the bathroom. Everyone nearby heard her throwing up.
"Aw sounds like little Ms. perfect is sick," Valtina said is sarcastic voice.
"That isn't funny," Jagron said.
"I'll go check on her," Pumyra said. She went into the bathroom and saw Liosia wiping her mouth. "You have been throwing up a lot lately, are you okay?" she asked.
"I don't know, at first I thought it was something I ate but now I don't know," Liosia said.
"I'll take you to Kali she can help." Pumyra said.
"Good idea," Liosia said.
Pumyra helped Liosia up and took her to Kali's office. Kali saw them come in. "Why hello Pumyra and Liosia what brings you two in today?" Kali asked.
"I thinking I'm getting sick," Liosia said.
"Okay Liosia have a seat and I'll take a look," Kali said. She took Liosia's temperature. "No fever," she said.
"I still think something is wrong with me," Liosia said. "I just don't feel like myself. I haven't felt like myself for a couple of weeks," she said.
"Tell me what is going on and be as detailed as possible with your symptoms." Kali said.
"Okay," Liosia said. "I feel nauseous, I get headaches, my breasts are tender, I am hungry all the time, and I get tired very easily." she said.
"I see, I just want to draw some blood just so I can be sure about what it is," Kali said taking sticking needle into Liosia. Then put the blood in the machine. Then pulled out the results. "Just like I thought," she said.
"What is just like you thought?" Liosia asked.
"You're pregnant," Kali said.
"What?" Liosia said. "I'm pregnant?" she asked.
"Yes," Kali said.
"You are going to have crown prince's baby! I thought it would happen since he chose you as his mate," Pumyra said getting excited.
"I'm so shocked," Liosia said. "But not surprised, last time Lion-o and I had sex we got a little careless." she said.
"Well, still this baby is part of your family and the royal family so it's important that Lion-o must know." Kali said.
"I'm planning on telling him at the harvest festival." Liosia said.
"Good," Kali said.
"I want to be the one to tell Lion-o so if either of you two see him don't tell him," Liosia said.
"I understand completely," Kali said. "I will tell Jaga and we will both make sure your duties are lighter and I know Lion-o will tell his parents and once you marry the prince you will be the prince and future queen so you won't be a medic anymore you will have the duties of being a queen," she said.
"I understand that," Liosia said.
"I will tell some of our friends." Pumyra said.
"Great the harvest festival is tomorrow and I can't wait to tell him," Liosia said.
Cheetara and Tygra came in. "Hey what's going on in here?" Tygra asked.
"Well, I just found out something," Liosia said.
"What's that?" Cheetara asked.
"I'm pregnant with Lion-o's baby," Liosia said.
"That's amazing," Cheetara said.
"Congratulations! I can't wait to see the look on Lion-o's face when we tell him," Tygra said.
"Hang on, I want to tell Lion-o when we are alone first," Liosia said.
"I understand that," Cheetara said.
"I won't tell, Cheetara was the one who told me, and I think Lion-o will like the news coming from you," Tygra said.
"Okay Cheetara are you ready to find out the gender of your twins?" Kali asked.
"Yes I'm ready," Cheetara said. Kali started to do the ultra sound. "So, how far along are you Liosia?" she asked.
"I don't know," Liosia said.
"How long ago was it since and Lion-o you know," Kali said.
"About nine weeks ago," Liosia said.
"Then you must around eight weeks," Kali said.
"Yeah, that makes sense," Liosia said.
The next evening Lion-o was looking for Liosia. "Looking for Liosia?" Leona asked.
"Yes how did you know?" Lion-o asked.
"You love her and I saw the mark you left on her, I know she will make a wonderful wife for you," Leona said.
"Yes and she said she wants to be," Lion-o said.
"I was right, just ask her the question and your father and I will arrange the wedding," Leona said.
"That's right and it will be quite the celebration," Claudius said.
Lion-o saw Liosia. "Go to her son," Claudius said.
Lion-o ran off to meet her. "Hey Liosia," Lion-o said.
"Hey Lion-o," Liosia said.
"Liosia there is something I want to ask you," Lion-o said.
"What's that will you marry me and become princess and future queen of Thundera?" Lion-o asked.
"Yes," Liosia said.
"Great we must tell my parents you said yes." Lion-o said.
"Hang on Lion-o there is something I need to tell you too, now let's go someplace a little more private." Liosia said.
They went into a street corner. "What do you have to tell me Liosia?" Lion-o asked.
"Lion-o I'm pregnant with your baby," Liosia said.
Lion-o hugged her and kissed her. "This is amazing, I never thought I be a father so soon, but this is incredible. Well with his or her cousins around at least they will have someone to play with." Lion-o said. "I love you," he said.
"I love you too," Liosia said.
"Now let's go tell me parents." Lion-o said.
They headed out to talk to Lion-o's parents. Valtina saw them and was jealous. Liosia left to go to the bathroom and when she came out Valtina slapped her. "Hey what was that for?" Liosia asked.
"Lion-o should be mine, not your's! I am way better than you and I should be queen of Thundera and get what I want!" Valtina said.
"Valtina please Lion-o and I are in love so please calm down, why do you want Lion-o so badly?" Liosia asked.
"Because no in my village likes me besides you and the other medics, Lion-o is the only one who has been nice to me." Valtina said. "I can't find anyone who likes me," she said.
"I like you," Jagron said. "I find you very attractive," he said.
"You do?" Valtina asked starting to blush.
"What's going on over here?" Lion-o asked looked and saw love was starting to bloom between Jagron and Valtina.
"Would you like to spend the rest of the festival with me?" Jagron asked.
"Yes," Valtina said. "Sorry about earlier." she said.
"That's okay, you were just jealous." Liosia said.
"Come on Liosia let's go tell my parents we're now engaged," Lion-o said.
"Okay," Liosia said.
"Congratulations," Valtina and Jagron said.
Lion-o and Liosia headed over to the king and queen. "Mom, dad Liosia said yes," Lion-o said.
"Wonderful," Claudius said. "Everyone I have an announcement," he said.
All the cats in the festival stopped what they were doing and listened. "My son Lion-o and his girlfriend Liosia are now engaged to be married soon their will be a royal wedding," Claudius said.
The kingdom cheered.
Lion-o and Liosia smiled at each other and kissed.
