Ginga Ocean James: Liara
Chapter 12-Relaxing
Liara yawned and sighed. She was going to be a mother in a few months. "I wonder what the pups will look like, which father will they take after?" she thought. She looked up at the night sky, "The stars are pretty, little ones. I wish you could see them…" she said to her pups. She yawned and soon fell back asleep.

Kovu yawned as he was officially bored. He looked at his mates, "They look beat, man…" he thought smiling. Yesterday had been rough for all the dogs. Being chased by Sean had taken a small toll on their paws, so they had decided to rest for a short while. Nakari moaned as he got up, "Had a good night's sleep, babe?" he teased. Nakari looked at him, "Very funny." he mumbled getting up and walking over to Liara. "She's still asleep, Naka." he said. Liara stirred, "Never mind!" said Kovu. Liara stared at her mates, "I'm gonna go take a leak. Be right back." she said.

Sean groaned, why had he gone out in the forest alone? Had he gone mad just to go find some puppies? "Damnit! Stupid leaves!" he said as he walked through a small river. He turned when he saw Liara drinking some water. She froze when she looked up and saw him. Sean didn't move, instead he leaned down and spoke gently to her, "You're pregnant, aren't you girl?" he said softly. She nodded, "You really shouldn't stay out in the forest like this…" he said. She nodded again, "He's right, but should I trust him?" she thought. She heard a rustle and saw that the pack had surrounded Sean and were growling at him.
"Easy boys…hehe…" he said. James was about to bark when Liara spoke, "Wait daddy, he wants to say something." she said James calmed down, "I don't know if you want to listen, but you can stay at my place until she gives birth. I have a big yard so you can run as much as you want. You can leave after she gives birth." said Sean. James looked at Smoke, "The human is right James, the pups would be killed and we don't know what kind of wild animals are out here." he said. James looked down,
"You're her parents, aren't you two?" asked Sean. James and Smoke nodded, "I'm…sorry I took your daughter and her mates. I just…my dog died just recently…" he said. "He was an Akita just like you boy." he said pointing at James and Yukina. Sean got up, "Come on, let's go back home." he said. The pack slowly followed him back…

Sean had set out some dog food for Liara and the others to eat. "We'll leave when the pups are a few weeks old, Liara." said Nakari eating, "Is this okay with you?" he asked her. She licked him, "I…guess. Better then having the pups killed." she said. Kovu hugged her, "Don't worry, we won't let the pups die. We promise." he said.
