Chapter 2: Problems and News
Sid reaches the sloth village where he saw Dodger and Niamh together as the king and queen of the village checks up on the villagers.
"Ah Sid, How wonderful to see you again buddy" Dodger greeted.
"Hey Sid" Niamh nervously greeted.
"Hi guys, How are you?" Sid replied.
"Not bad mate" Dodger chuckled.
"So what brings you here Sid?" Niamh asked.
"I was wondering what James is up to" Sid replied.
"Oh he's minding our son for a little bit while we're checking up on the villagers" said Dodger.
"Cool. So where is he?" Sid asked.
"In the throne room" Niamh replied.
"Thanks guys, I'll see you in a bit" said Sid.
"Take your time buddy" Dodger replied.
The yellow sloth enters the throne room as he sees James with Marcus Jr as they're drawing on pieces of flat stones.
"Hey James, Hey Marcus" Sid greeted.
James and Marcus looks up to see Sid as the orange sloth replied.
"Hey bro, How's it going?"
"Hi Sid" Marcus Jr replied.
"So what brings you here buddy?" James asked.
"Carrie and I are just wondering what you're doing" Sid replied.
"Just looking after this rascal before I go back to the Sanctaury" said James.
"So how are you Marcus?" Sid asked the nine year old sloth.
"I'm fine" Marcus Jr replied as he smiles at Sid.
"What are you drawing there?" Sid asked.
"Me as a king with daddy and mummy" said Marcus as he shows Sid the picture.
"Wow! Well I'm sure you'll grow up to be a great king one day" Sid replied.
"I have no doubt about that buddy"
Sid turns to see Dodger and Niamh heading towards them as their son goes to them.
"Do you like this drawing mummy?" Marcus asked.
"It's beautiful" Niamh sweetly replied.
"Hey, a little artist, Attaboy son" Dodger heartfully replied as he picks up his son and carries him on his shoulders.
"Well I guess I'll see you guys later" said Sid.
"Yeah, Catch you later guys" James bid farewell.
"Goodbye guys" Dodger replied.
"Come back anytime soon" Niamh added.
"See you later guys" Marcus Jr called out.
As Sid and James leave the sloth village, they saw Fred and Ted, the twin vultures, as they flew down to the sloths with two coconuts on each claws.
"Hey guys" Fred greeted.
"We're being looking for you" said Ted.
"Really?" Sid asked.
"Yeah! We just wanna know if these coconuts are OK for the wedding" Fred replied.
"Boys, I think you should ask Manny and Ellie on that one" James chuckled.
"Oooooh...Right" Ted replied in embarrassment.
"I told you we had to ask the mammoths" Fred sighed.
"Sorry" Ted apologised.
"Never mind, Let's go ask them" Fred replied as then he turns to the sloths and added
"See you two at the Sanctuary"
"If you get there before we leave there that is of course" said Ted.
Soon they flow away to the Sanctuary as the two sloths kept walking home.
"So Sid, How's the wedding coming up?" James asked.
"Great, Carrie and I manage to get the wedding flower crown done for Peaches and she loved it" Sid replied.
"That's good" James nodded.
"Yeah" Sid nodded as well.
"And how's my niece today?" James asked.
"Well..." Sid nervously started.
James chuckled and replied
"Still being the stubborn teenager?"
"Yeah" Sid replied.
"Ah don't worry about it bro, She's just at that age while girls like her can feel like doing whatever they want and they don't want anyone stopping them" said James.
"Well when I was a teenager, I never felt like doing what I want without my parents stopping me" Sid replied.
"Well that's because your family were jerks" James said as he looks at his brother in law.
"True but..." Sid started.
"But what?" James asked.
"I sometimes wonder about something" said Sid.
"What do you wonder about?" James asked.
"James, Am I becoming a bad father to my daughter?" Sid asked.
"What? No Sid, You're a great father and I never doubt about that" said James.
Sid looks at James unamusingly as James nervously added
"Ok...Except for when we first met and before we became a family...But the point is Sid, You are a good father and Rosy needs to understand you that you're just doing what you have to do to keep Rosy from making the wrong choices in life"
"You think she'll understand me and love me again someday?" Sid asked.
"What do you mean about Rosy loving you again?" The orange sloth asked in confusion.
"I think Rosy hates me now" Sid replied.
"Don't be silly Sid! Like I said, she's just being a teenage rebel. She may act like she doesn't care but deep down she loves you" James explained.
"You think so James?" Sid asked.
"I know so bro" James answered as he winks at his brother in law.
"Thank you James, You're a great brother" Sid thanked.
"No worries Sid, You're a great brother too" James replied as he pats Sid's back.
Meanwhile Toby and Elisa were relaxing in the fields and watching the clouds in the sky.
"Look at that Toby! Does that look like a star or a diamond?" Elisa asked.
"It looks more like a star" Toby replied.
"Can you see any clouds that look like anything?" Elisa asked.
"Nope" Toby answered as he shook his head.
"Man, you have no imagination" Elisa laughed.
"Oh yeah? Prove it" Elisa playfully smirked.
"OK, I can imagine you being tied up and being tickled for hours by floating paws" Toby deviously chuckled.
"Oh really? Is it like this?" Elisa giggled.
The white wolf then pins Toby down to the ground and starts giving him a belly rub.
"No! Anything but a belly rub! Ah,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha!" Toby laughed as he was being tickled and rubbed on the belly by his mate.
"Who's a good puppy wuppy? You are" Elisa playfully cooed.
"Stop it Elisa! I mean it" Toby laughed as he rolls off Elisa and runs off.
"Hey!" Elisa giggled.
"Ha! I win!" Toby cheered.
"Coward!" Elisa laughed.
"Yeah, yeah very funny" Toby chuckled.
Toby walks to his mate and then notices the female wolf being a little nervous about something.
"Elisa? What's the matter?" Toby asked.
"Toby...the reason I wanted to spend some time alone with you today is that I must tell you something" said Elisa.
"What is it? What's wrong?" Toby asked in concern.
"Nothing's wrong darling" Elisa soothed.
"Then what do you wanna say to me then Elisa?" Toby asked.
Elisa took a deep breath and exhale as she replies
"Toby, I'm pregnant"
The grey wolf's eyes widen as his jaw dropped, leaving his mouth wide open.
"Are you OK Toby?" Elisa asked in confusion.
Toby didn't answer but suddenly faints due to the shock and huge surprise.
"Oh dear" Elisa nervously mumbled.
Meanwhile in the Cave of Darkness, a shadow figure was refixing up some wounds with a small sharp ice as a needle and some strong pieces of vines as strings.
Then a wolf came in and said
"Sir, The army is here and...OH MY GOD!"
"What?!" The shadow figure growled.
"My goodness...You're a mess...I'll refix the wounds sir and you will be good as new" The wolf nervously replied.
"NO! THIS is what I will be like now until the end of time" The figure roared.
"A-Are you sure?!" The wolf whimpered.
"Yes" The figure hissed.
"W-Why?" The wolf whimpered again.
"Because this is their fault and I want them to see what they have done to me and soon I will make them as worse as I am now!" The figure growled.
Soon the figure begins laughing insanely and evilly as the wolf whimpered and runs away from the evil figure.
Wow! A lot of things are happening!
Sid has a problem with Rosy!
Elisa is pregnant with Toby's pups
