chapter 4
Hannah and Lion-o were the head of the Thundercats and they were very happy. They had been married for about a year and half. One day Lion-o went out to help the warrior maidens. "Be careful dear," Hannah said and kissed him.
"I will Hannah," he said and left.
Lion-o saw there was much to do in the Warrior maidens kingdom. "So Lion-o how are things going with you and Hannah?" Nayda asked.
"Things are going fine," Lion-o said.
"You maybe soon there will be the patter of little feet around cat's lair." Nayda said.
Lion-o looked completely shocked. "I don't know if Hannah and I are ready for that," Lion-o said.
"You don't think you are ready to be a father?" Nayda asked.
"I don't think so, I believe being a father would be nice. But I don't know if I am not ready or if Hannah is even ready," Lion-o said. "Hannah keeps a few plants around our room. She takes very good care of them, I believe she will be a wonderful mother." he said. "But I don't know if she even feels like we should have a baby anytime soon." he said.
"You have a lot of concerns but I think you will be a wonderful father because you do show a great deal of care." Nayda said.
"Thanks Nayda I think I will talk to Hannah about it." Lion-o said.
Hannah was thinking about a lot of things back at cats lair of how wonderful her life was there. She began to think maybe she and Lion-o could have a bundle of joy. She wondered what Lion-o would say if she brought it up. She hoped that he would agree to having a baby. She made some food with Snarf it was Lion-o's favorite.
Lion-o was now heading home from the warrior maiden's kingdom and was almost home. "Now I must talk to Hannah once I get home." he said.
Once back at cats lair he went to find Hannah. "Have you guys seen Hannah?' Lion-o asked.
"Last I checked she was in the kitchen with Snarf," Tygra said.
"I see thank you," Lion-o said.
Lion-o found Hannah and Snarf cooking. "Hey Hannah," Lion-o said.
Hannah saw Lion-o and came up and hugged him. "Welcome home sweet heart." she said.
"So what are you cooking?" Lion-o asked.
"We are making one of your favorite things to eat," Hannah said.
Lion-o sniffed and smelled it. "That, fresh apple pie smells good." Lion-o said.
"I hope you like it, it from my grandmother's recipe." Hannah said.
"I see," Lion-o said.
Snarf pulled the pie out of the oven. "It looks good," Lion-o said when he saw it.
"Hang on you must let it cool before you eat it." Snarf said.
'Come on Snarf I'm not a little kid anymore," Lion-o said.
"I know, but sometimes you forget certain things." Snarf said.
Hannah leaned against Lion-o and sighed contently. She looked at him with her big brown eyes. He smiled her and kissed her. "Hey get a room you two!" Snarf said.
"Oh sorry Snarf," Lion-o said.
"Yeah sorry," Hannah said.
"It's okay, just do most of the affection some where else." Snarf said.
A bit later Lion-o and Hannah went into their room. "Hannah you know I've been thinking," Lion-o said.
"About what my love?" Hannah asked.
"I've been thinking we should start family." Lion-o said.
"Well then we were thinking about the same thing." Hannah said.
"Really?" Lion-o asked.
"Well then we better make sure no one comes in here." Hannah said.
"Yes we better," Lion-o said.
So for the next couple of months during some down time Lion-o and Hannah spent that time together trying to get her to conceive. The others knew what Lion-o and Hannah were trying to do so they left them alone.
A couple of weeks later. Hannah was sitting in a chair and stitching up a hole in Lion-o's clothes. She felt sick and her sewing stuff fell on the floor. Then she threw up in the bathroom. "Oi," she said. She had been feeling out of sorts for a while. Then she thought about something. Could it be after months of trying she was now pregnant?
Hannah felt a bit better and went right back to fixing Lion-o's clothes. Lion-o came back a bit later. "Hi sweetie," Lion-o said.
"Lion-o you know how I've been out of sorts lately?" Hannah asked.
"Yes of course," Lion-o said.
"I think, I'm pregnant," Hannah said.
"You think so?" Lion-o asked.
"Yes I do," Hannah said.
"I will get Pumyra over here to see if you are right don't want to jump the shark." Lion-o said.
Pumyra came as quickly as Lion-o called her. "Okay Hannah I hear you and Lion-o are trying to have a baby." Pumyra said.
"Yes," Hannah said. "I haven't been feeling like myself for a couple of weeks and I think I'm pregnant." she said.
"I think I can confirm it," Pumyra said.
Hannah told Pumyra her symptoms and Pumyra examined her. Pumyra checked everything off mentally. Then she smiled at Hannah and Lion-o. "Congratulations, Hannah you're pregnant," Pumyra said.
"This is wonderful," Hannah said.
"It is, we have to tell the other Thundercats." Lion-o said.
"We sure do," Hannah said.
They gathered the other Thundercats to make their announcement. "Everyone Hannah and I have something to tell you," Lion-o said.
"What is it?" Snarfer asked.
"I'm going to have a baby," Hannah said.
The other Thundercats looked amazed Lion-o was now going to be a father. "This is wonderful," Bengali said.
"Yes I can help this old nursemaid has some good years left in him." Snarf said.
"I thought you would say that snarf because I can think of no better Thundercat to be our regular babysitter." Lion-o said.
"Great I will take great care of the little guy," Snarf said.
"Or lady," Cheetara said.
"Yes we won't know if it is a boy or girl until the cub is born." Lynx-o said.
Hannah and Lion-o didn't care they just wanted a healthy cub.
