I really need a new intro for these besides "here's the next chapter" lol. But anyway, here's chapter 10 - what's wrong with Tigress will be revealed here, and I'm thinking about ending this story sometime after the death of Shifu, but I'm not sure on how to do it. I'm trying to keep this as interesting as I can. So anyway, here's the story ;)
*In room, waiting for doctors*
Soon, the palace doctors and healers came into the room to examine Tigress, to see what was causing her dizziness and throwing up. Po held his wife's paw, worried about what was wrong with his beloved tiger. She noticed, and it hurt to see her husband - who she loved more than anything - worry about her wellbeing.
"Please don't worry my panda, I'll be fine." she said with a soft smile, caressing his cheek.
"C'mere." she said as she pulled his head down and gave him a warm kiss on the lips. When she released him, she smiled, noticing he felt better.
"Better?" she asked with a sweet smile.
He nodded with a smile of his own, and a blush on his cheeks "She knows just how to make me feel better and end all my worries. Gods, I love her." he thought to himself, giving her paw an assuring squeeze.
Just then, the doctors arrived, and asked Po to step outside so they could assess the sick tiger. He was hesitant at first, but then he let go of her paw and stepped outside.
After the doctors had completed their numerous examinations, the healers then discreetly gave Tigress their diagnosis.
"Master Tigress, we have our final diagnosis. It may shock you, but..." they whispered to her quietly.
Her eyes went wide with shock as they told her, but then a pleasant smile came across her face.
"Thanks, doctor." she said, as they gave her some more herbal medicine for her dizziness and upset stomach.
She sat up on the edge of the bed, ready to tell her husband the news. The doctors left the room and told Po he could go back in.
"You may go back in now, Dragon Warrior." they said kindly before leaving.
"Awesome - thanks!" he said, relieved as he ran back into the room.
When he came in, he saw Tigress sitting on the edge of the bed with a warm smile of her face. When she saw him, she jumped up, ran to him and leaped into his arms wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. Po was surprised, but kissed her back and soon she broke away, looking into his eyes lovingly.
"Wow kitten, you're friskier than usual." he observed with a chuckle. "What did the doctors say - is everything ok?" he asked curiously.
A big smile came across her face as she began to speak.
"Everything is fine Po… more than fine! The doctors, they said that I'm, I'm... pregnant! You're going to be a father Po!" she said happily with a bright smile as she clung to her husband's neck.
Po's eyes widened in shock, and he froze, completely at a loss for words.
Tigress looked at him with her head tilted to one side in confusion "Po?" she said.
His shock wore off, and extreme joy filled him as his face turned into a smile; he laughed and chuckled happily, swinging her around in his arms.
"Really!? This is so awesome Tigress! Ahhh!" Po said exuberantly as he swung her around in circles in his arms.
Tigress giggled while he did this and nodded. "Yes, it is Po!" she said as he at last set her down.
"I'm so happy Tigress hehehe! You're going to be an awesome mother." Po comforted as he wrapped his arms around her waist, and she wrapped hers around his neck and they rubbed their noses together, both giggling.
"And you're going to be an awesome father, my panda - I know it! We have to tell Shifu!" Tigress said with a warm smile. He nodded in agreement and then they heard a gruff, yet kind voice behind them.
"Tell me what my daughter?" said Shifu curiously, as he looked at the two who were obviously overjoyed as they clung to each other.
Tigress gasped in surprise and looked over to Shifu and smiled.
"Father... you're going to be a grandfather! I'm pregnant - Po and I are going to have a cub!" she announced with a proud smile as she clung to Po.
Shifu was also shocked, but it quickly wore off as a few tears filled his eyes and he embraced both of them warmly. This surprised them, but they returned the embrace, nonetheless. He broke and put a paw on each of their shoulders looking them in the eyes.
"I'm so happy, and proud of both of you." Shifu said with a smile on his face. "I know you two will raise your children with love and care; I will as well, it's been a while since I had little ones running around here." he said with a chuckle.
"Thank you, father; and yes, we definitely will." Tigress said, turning her eyes back to Po with a loving smile. He stroked her back with his fingers and she let out a soft purr.
"I guess I'll leave you two alone. I'll be meditating at the peach tree if anyone needs me." Shifu said, leaving the room with a smile, very happy to soon be a grandfather.
Po turned to Tigress and placed a paw over her stomach.
"How long until they arrive?" he asked in a whisper, rubbing her stomach making her laugh softly.
"About three months, Po." Tigress said with a chuckle. "That will be the second happiest day of my life." she said, placing a paw over his and holding it tightly. Tigress truly was happy, having secretly wanted to be a mother for the longest time; she was even happier that she was having them with Po. He was the only one she would ever want a child with.
"Awesome I can't wait!" Po said excitedly. "And the second happiest day? When was your first?" he asked curiously.
"The day we got married. I've never been happier since being with you, Po. I love you so much..." she said with rosy cheeks and a warm smile.
"I could say the same, kitten; I love you too. With all my heart and more." he said with a big smile, taking her paws and holding them tightly with his own, causing her to blush.
He then leaned in and kissed her passionately on the lips, which she returned, throwing her arms around his neck and his around her waist. Soon they broke and looked into each other's eyes lovingly.
"Let's go tell the others, Po - I'm sure they would love to know." Tigress said, caressing his cheek.
"Alright then, let's go my dear." he said, picking her up bride-style in his arms and kissing her forehead. She loved it when he carried her, but it was always a surprise; she didn't mind.
Tigress purred happily into his neck, and he chuckled as she did this, carrying her into the kitchen to tell the others and make dinner.
*In the kitchen*
The Five were sitting down at the table, waiting patiently for Po and Tigress to return to make dinner. Soon they heard Po's footsteps, and saw him carrying her into the kitchen and set her down in her chair, pushed it in as she gave him a wet lick on the cheek. He blushed scarlet and went to the stove and started making everyone's dinner. Sometimes he could hardly believe this was real. But it was. His biggest dreams were coming true: To marry and have a family with the love of his life, Tigress. After they ate Tigress stood up, having decided now was the time to make the announcement.
"Guys, listen up - I have something I need to tell you." she said, smiling happily with a blush forming on her cheeks. Just then, Po came to her side and held her paw.
"What is it Tigress?" Viper asked curiously as the others looked at the two in anticipation.
Tigress squeezed Po's paw nervously and began.
"The reason I've been getting dizzy is because... I'm pregnant. Po and I are gonna have cubs." she said softly as her cheeks got redder; Po kissed her and rested his head in her neck fur.
The whole kitchen then erupted with cheer and applause, happy for the two soon to be parents. Mantis thought he was gonna pass out and Monkey grinned at Po.
"Congratulations you two! I can't wait to see the little ones you have." Viper squealed as she gave them a squeezing embrace.
"Thanks Viper." Po said, wrapping an arm around Tigress and leaning his head on her shoulder. And she wrapped her arm around his head.
"Congrats buddy - I knew you had it in ya." Monkey said happily.
"Thanks guys... We should expect them in about three months... at least, that's what I've heard it takes for tigers." Po said, blushing.
"Sounds great, Po!" Mantis recovered cheerfully rubbing his pincher "thingies" together.
They finally all left the kitchen, said their goodnights, and went to their rooms. In Po's room the two lovers were enjoying a romantic candle-lit quiet peace, slowly dancing to the imaginary music they were both playing in their heads. Po noticed his wife starting to look a little worried as her arms rested on his shoulders.
"You nervous Ti? You're going to be a great mother, my sweet tiger." Po said as he held her waist and danced from side to side; she rested her arms on his chest and paws on top of his shoulders.
"Maybe a little." Tigress began nervously, and then her anxious thoughts began to spill out. Although she was happy, she was also nervous, "What will people think of our cubs, Po? Will they be mean to them or hurt them? What if they make fun of them because they will be half panda, half tiger and-" she said, talking fast in a worried voice, full of fear; she was cut off by Po's loving and reassuring voice. Tigress, as hardcore as she was, never felt such worry or fear in her life. He put a finger gently to her lips lovingly, and spoke as they swayed from side to side.
"Shhhh. Oh Tigress, please don't worry, my love, about what they think. We will have beautiful cubs that will look just like the both of us, and if anyone makes fun of them or tries to harm them, they will have to deal with us. Trust me! They will look amazing! I've seen mixed species before and they're beautiful. We will raise them with love and care unconditionally, ok? Now please stop worrying my kitten, I don't like to see you worried and afraid." he assured lovingly, rubbing her whiskers and cheek with his thumb.
Tigress was touched at what he said, and knew he meant it - her worries left her. She nodded in understanding while he spoke and soon a warm smile grew on her face.
"Ok, ok. I'll stop worrying so much – thanks, Po." Tigress said, feeling relieved of her worries thanks to her caring husband.
"You're welcome, kitten; you got this! I love you so much with all my heart." Po said, holding her tighter.
"I love you too, my dragon warrior, and I always will." Tigress said with a bright, elated smile.
They both leaned closer, and kissed each other passionately on the lips as they held each other tight. They moaned softly into each other's mouths, gently biting each other's lips in a romantic rhythm of passion. After a few moments they finally broke for air, breathing heavily still holding the other tightly as they looked into the beautiful eyes they each had.
"Let's go to sleep - you look tired, love." Po said as he massaged her shoulders and she smiled, purring at his touch.
"Yeah, I am actually. Let's go." she said, letting out a yawn, which made Po giggle; he thought her yawn was adorable and he kissed her cheek.
He then climbed into his bed and motioned her to come in with him. Before she did, she started to undo her red vest and take it off, laying it on the ground next to the bed. Po blushed red, and couldn't help but stare at the gorgeous tiger he was happy to call his wife. The panda was still shy but he indeed liked what he saw, as evidenced by his red cheeks and his eyes that roamed every inch of her - which Tigress didn't mind.
"Why'd you take off your vest?" Po asked softly, still staring at her in awe of her beautiful figure, her toned muscles and curves and shiny, striped fur.
Tigress laughed, and thought that it was adorable that he couldn't keep his eyes off of her, and she blushed a deep scarlet. "It sounds weird, but it's because when we sleep, I like the feeling of our bare fur together - the warmth of it." Tigress admitted, red showing through her cheeks, as her tail twitched. She wanted to make love to him again, but it would have to wait for now.
"It's not weird at all, hehe. I love it too, actually." Po said, softly rubbing the back of his head with a blush forming on his cheeks. "C'mere, let's go to sleep." Po said, motioning for her to come.
She smiled, and climbed into the bed with him. He pulled the covers over them, and she immediately started purring as she felt their warm fur close together. She had wrapped her arms around him and his around her back rubbing her soft fur, making her purr louder as she nuzzled her head into his warm chest.
"Goodnight, Po; I love you my goofy husband." Tigress said with a slight tease as she clung to him.
"Goodnight, Tigress; I love you too, my beautiful wife." Po said as he continued to rub her back as she purred. Her purr and warmth relaxed Po, helping him quickly fall asleep. They both felt safe, loved, and warm in each other's arms, and soon they fell fast asleep under the covers.
Their lives had changed forever that day, and they would grow closer than ever as they would soon become parents; they would begin preparing for the arrival of their cubs as soon as they could. If troubles came, they knew they would always face it together and be there for the other - no matter what.
