Don't Give Up
Ch 14
Ziko was sitting under the Sacred Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom.
He was thinking about Jori. He really liked her but was afraid.
He knew she'd reject him for what he was.
"Maybe she'll like me for me and not because I can't see well.
Besides Po's in love with Sha-kia and she loves him for him." He thought as he played an awesome guitar riff.
Po was impressed by that as he and Sha-kia spent their first night as husband and wife.
They had gotten married earlier knowing that they belonged together.
"What is that you're playing?
It's awesome!" he said to Ziko.
"I'm just playing around.
I'm trying to write a song to woo Jori but I'm afraid.
She probably won't like me because… of my sight problems." He told him.
"If she likes you, you won't have to hide yourself." Sha-kia said to him.
"Thanks guys." Ziko replied.
Shifu was very nervous after Naraka had told him… that he was going to be a father.
They'd only been married a week and it was already happening.
"At least she might make the kid to be a kung fu lover and I can train it." He thought as he was with her.
"Are you nervous about the child?
I am too. But I'm sure it'll be amazing like you Shifu." She said kissing him.
He smiled at that.
The next few days passed but Leah and the others noticed changes in Sha-kia.
She was very moody, had food cravings, gained some weight and had a small bump.
"She must be having a kid.
I wonder if she told Po yet." Viper said to them softly while Po was in the kitchen.
He was worried but excited at what Sha-kia had said this morning about him being a father.
The second Dragon Warrior saw that her Master was distracted and wondered what was wrong.
"It's... just I'm gonna be a dad! How cool is that?" he said to her.
"Awesome but are you afraid in case it mightn't wanna be the future Dragon Warrior and want to be something else?" Carley answered him.
"Yeah that could happen but if it does, Sha-kia and I will still love him or her no matter what they choose to do." he told her.
A smile crossed her face as they finished making noodles.
Later Jori watched as Carley and Po trained. He was focusing on unleashing her powers through chi.
Ziko then approached her nervously.
"Umm... hey Jori I wanna tell ya something.
I-I like you since yesterday when you showed up here." he told her. He felt like a fool.
But then he felt her lips on his and their piercings touched.
"I like you too Ziko.
I wanna know you." she replied as they broke the kiss.
"Awesomeness! She does dig me!" he thought as they went to the village.
A week passed but on the last night of it, Po was woken up by Sha-kia.
She was in pain.
"Hey honey what's wrong?" Po asked her.
"The baby... It's time." she whispered to him.
He was very frantic but knew he had to stay calm.
Viper then entered the room.
"What's wrong? I heard you from my room." she asked him.
"It's the baby! It's on it's way!" Po told her.
She then got some hot water and blankets.
It took until three in the morning but by early dawn the Jade Palace was filled with the sounds of two new borns entering the world.
Sha-kia gasped. The baby was very cute. It was a panda like Po but had Sha0kia's amber like eyes.
Po chuckled as it grabbed his finger.
"iT HAS YOUR STRENGTH. iS IT A BOY OR A GIRL?" HE ASKED.
"A girl. What're you gonna call her?" Viper asked them.
"We don't know yet.
We were thinking of calling her Suki like after the tea." Po said.
"I think that's a nice name. Suki it is." Sha-kia replied kissing Po.
Viper smiled as she left.
"Excuse me but the others need me." Viper told them.
Po nodded as she left.
Shifu was holding his child in his arms. It was a red panda like him and Naraka but had his eyes as it pulled off one of his long whiskers.
He gritted his teeth in agony at that.
"It's okay. It'll grow back besides Tai-Lung did the same when he was a baby." Shifu told Naraka as Viper saw the baby.
"It's cute. What's it called? Po and Sha-kia called their baby Suki." she told him.
"We don't know what to call him yet but we'll think of it. I can't wait to train him." Shifu replied.
It was a day of new beginnings and two families had just been born...
