Chapter 7.
The sun shone bright in the early morning as all of nature began to awake from its slumber.
The bird's chirped as they soared through the bright blue sky, only a few clouds here and there hung in the sky offering shade to the ground below them.
The Camp, which was a cove, that had a large pond and two large Cave's situated inside of it, held the many sleeping form's of sabers, inside said caves, as a few cubs slept atop one another in a dog pile and others with their parents, who curled up around them, offering heat and protection.
Closest to the Entrance lay the sleeping forms of Nate and Sora curled up together.
Opening her eyes, Sora scanned the Area arounde her, seeing all the sabers asleep, still fascinated with seeing so many of her own kind, until her eyes landed on the Young Cub next to her.
She watched him sleep, admiring all his graceful features and listening to the light sounds of snoring emitting from his chest, which brought a small smile to her face as she sat there for a few minutes.
She slowly stood up, not wanting to wake him or anyone else up at this moment and made her way out the cave, coming face to face with the sight of stone walls around her and the pond which everyone drank from infront of her, as she went to get a drink, before sitting back down and just taking in all the beauty around her.
She looked towards the Entrance to the cove from which herself and Nate had both come from, not hearing the sounds of paws on dirt making their way towards her.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Jumping around and allowing a slight squeak to escape her lips as she did so. she stared wide eyed at the Giggling form of Nates mother.
"Forgive me, I did not mean to frighten you" She watched as the young cub before her raised a paw and layed it on her chest, letting out a deep breath.
"It's okay, but, maybe you can help me find my heart, I think it jumped out my chest"
"Hahaha, I see why he likes you so much" Smiling she walked towards the pond and sat down next to Sora, before bending down to get a drink of water.
"Did I wake you?, i'm so sorry if i did, i didn't mean too, I only wanted to get some fre-"
"You didn't wake me child" Lifting her paw she rested it on her outstretched belly, rubbing small circles on it, smiling as she did so.
"This little one did... kicking around, never allowing your own mother to get some rest" She chuckled to herself at that last part before giving her full attention to Sora who was still staring at her belly, until she realised she got caught staring, causing her to blush under her fur, and her ears to lower against her head from embarresment.
"It's alright, I take it with that look that you probably don't see a lot of pregnant ladies around, do you?" She watched as the young cub looked at the water, before turning to look at her.
"A-actually I-I haven't ever seen a pregnant Lady before..." She saw the look of shock that formed on Kiara's face, not looking her in the eye.
"Really... you have never seen someone pregnant before?" All she got in return was the shake of young cubs head.
"Do you want to feel the baby?" At that, Sora shot her head to look up at her Boyfriend's mother wide eyed.
"I-I" She tried shaking her head but was cut off as Kiara moved closer to her.
"Don't worry, I won't bite" She gave a reasurring smile and watched as Sora lifted a nervous paw and slowly moved it to lay on her stomach, waiting a few seconds she felt nothing other than fur.
"I don't feel any-" She gasped, going wide eyedas she felt the tiniest kick where her paw lay.
"Haha, he likes you" Sora cocked her head to the side as she moved her gaze to land back on Kiara.
"How do you know it's a boy?"
"Mothers instinct" Was all she got in return, before a thought popped up in her head.
"How are babies made?" Kiara eyes went wide and her mouth hung agape, as she stared at the young and curious cub before her, tongue tied as to what she had to say.
"U-um... w-well you see, um... I think this is something you should ask your parents" She chuckled nervously at that last part, thankful that her fur hid the blush that crept onto her face.
Sora had a confused expression on her face and decided not to ask again, but she would ask her mom when she saw her again.
Removing her paw she was about to speak again, when a voice that brought a big smile to her face made her turn around.
"Morning Beautiful, Morning Mom" Nate said walking towards Sora and giving her a quick kiss on the lips, one she eagerly returned, before walking over to his mother and nuzzling her.
"Morning sweetie, how did you sleep?" Kiara asked her son.
"Best sleep I ever had"" He replied grinning.
"I can only imagine why" This made both Sora and Nate blush, causing Kiara to laugh out loud, until she regained herself.
"Well what do the both of you have planned for today?"
"Well... I would really like to stay longer, but 36I also know that your dad would probably skin me alive if we don't get back" He could see the sad expression on his Mom's face and it made him feel bad, but he had to make sure Diego wasn't gonna hunt him down for kidnapping his Daughter.
"We don't have to go soon Nate, i'm not worried about my dad and neither should you be, my Mom has it all under control" She said it with such confidence that Nate couldn't help but agree, although he was still scared at what Dieo might do.
Still seeing the doubt on his face, she got an idea.
"Don't you trust me?" She fake pouted, trying her hardest to look as sad as possible, which worked as he pulled her into a tight embrace nuzzling her as he did so.
"I do"
"Great! then it's settled, we will stay here for a while longer"
With that, all three of them waited for everyone else to wake up, which only took a few minutes, but in those few, Sora laughed at Nate because Kiara caught him off gaurd and started to give him a tounge bath, as she watched him desperatley claw at the ground to get away, growling and groaning at being humiliated in front of her.
Diego P.O.V
Waking up for the fifth time, I decided to just get up and go sit outside. Shira told me about Sora sleeping over by Nate, just the two of them. Alone... just the mere thought, made my pulse rise and a small growl escape my chest, as I scraped my claws along the dirt floor, something I realised I do, whenever i'm upset or annoyed.
"Diego" Manny. Turning around i came face to face with one of my best friends, as he approached I could see a few grey strands of fur upon his forehead, and it shocked me to realise just how much older he actually is.
"Hey Manny, how'd you sleep?"
"Pretty good, I would ask you, but... from the way you look I can tell"
"That obvious, huh" Diego chuckled a little at that and Manny just smiled before sitting beside his friend.
"Hey, don't worry about Sora, she will be fine" Diego turned his head to stare at the tree's ahead of him, sighing as he did so.
"I know she will be fine, it's just that... theyr'e together, Alone" The sound of Manny chuckling, made him glare at the mammoth.
"Diego, theyr'e still a little young, I doubt anything That serious will happen"
"What if it was Peaches?" That immediatly wiped the smile off Manny's face.
"Ok ok, you have a good point, but still, you and Shira both haven't even had the 'Talk' to her yet, any of them yet."
Dammit! I completely forgot about that... and they are close, if not old enough already to know about the 'Talk'.
I was brought out my thoughts at Manny asking me if I was alright "Yeah i'm fine just thinking..." The one thing I love about Manny is that he always knows when to give me my personal space.
"Well, what time do you think they will be back?"
"I have no idea, but for he's sake... it better be soon"
Back with Nate and Sora.
Everyone was gathered in the cove, as the few females that were pregnant laid close to the pond and the others around them, all in a circle.
Nate and Sora were with his sisters and a few other sabers, the younger ones like themselves were playing with one another, but a few older sabers such as Tamina were with Nate and Sora, talking and joking around.
"So wait... your'e herd... is made up of three Mammoths, a sloth, and your parents with your brothers and sisters?" Tamina asked Sora who just nodded and grinned sheepishly.
"Yeah we aren't the most normal herd there is, hehe..." Nate just moved closer to her and licked her cheek, causing all the females around the to awww.
"Young love, and a cute little saber you got there little man" A growl escaped Nates lips before he could stop it, at the saber he learn't was called Lyle.
"Woah didn't mean no dissrespect, sorry" Holding his paws in the air in a surrender type way, Lyle held a grin on his face though as he said it.
"Well, clearly your little brother is Possessive and protective over his mate" This caused a blush to form on Sora's face and a glare to form on Nate's faces.
"Ok guys thats enough teasing, leave them alone" this came from his sister Leila who could see his annoyance.
"Sora I have to get you back, your dad is probably tearing down the whole Forest by now" Sighing she agreed, non to happy to get back, but she knew he was right.
"Wait you guys are leaving?, but it's still so early" Leila and Tamina both held sad expressions on their faces.
"We will be back, but we have to go" Smiling he walked to both of them hugging them both before bidding everyone a farewell and then walking back to his mother and doing the same.
They were about to leave when a sudden thought crossed his mind "Hey mom?"
"Yes sweetie?" His mother gazed up at him.
"Where is your's and everyone else's mate?"They were introduced to most of everyone last night, the only people that they did not get to meet were the males of their pack
"Oh, Theyr'e out hunting and training a few cubs, that's why most are gone today"
"Wait when did they leave?" He asked confused.
"This morning, they came back last night" Nate's mouth just hung open wide at the news.
"So they saw us and know we were here?" Nate asked skeptically.
"Yes they know that you were here, and don't worry, they won't hurt you if that's what your asking"Nodding was all he could do before saying goodbye one last time and making his way out with Sora.
Five minutes later.
"That's actually creepy to know, that they were there and we didn't even wake" Sora said out loud, Nate agreed as they continued on their way, when a sudden voice stopped them both.
"It's not that creepy" Spinning around they saw that they were surrounded by atleast sixteen large male Sabre's all staring at the two of them, as Nate moved infront of Sora, standing in a Defensive position and glaring at them all.
"Oh... brave little cub" Smiling the one that stood in the middle, had greyish fur and blue eyes, he walked forward a little until Nate could see exactly who it was and he gasped and went wide eyed. It was The same Sabre who chased him away from his mother.
"Dad wait, this is Nate" Dustin came running out from behind the male to stand next to Nate, who still couldn't avert his eyes.
"I know who he is, You have grown since the last time I saw you" He just watched as A look of pure hatred crept onto the boys features.
"Something tells me that you aren't that happy to se-" He never got a chance to finish as Nate in blinded rage lunged for him, teeth and claws bared.
