Shira looked down at Frida who was breathing heavily.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"The cubs", Frida panted. "I don't know what's happening."
The crew caught up with them and looked down at Gutt who was still on the block of ice, watching as Manny, Sid, Diego and Granny sailed away with his ship. Gutt growled as he climbed up the glacier, climbing into a crack. Everyone watched in amazement as he was able to push off part of the glacier, making an entire ship on his own. Everyone jumped onto the ship immediately.
"Frida, come on", Shira said helping her up. "We have to go."
Frida grunted as she forced herself to jump onboard the ship. Another sharp pain forced her to curl up on the ice. Shira looked at her worried and looked at Gutt nervous, knowing she was in deep trouble.
"Gutt, I can explain", she said.
"When this ends, I'll have a tiger skin hanging on my wall", he said grabbing her by the throat. "I don't care whose."
Everyone watched as Gutt threw Shira down onto the ice.
"That mammoth has taken my ship, my bounty and now the loyalty of my crew! I will destroy him and everything he loves."
Frida gave a brief cry in pain, making everyone look at her. Gutt growled, looking at her round belly.
"That tiger's going to pay too", he said. "Those cubs are first."
"No…" Frida breathed painfully.
Everyone went to their duties, making the ship more functional to sail. Shira curled up beside her cousin.
"How are you feeling?" she asked.
"I'm scared", Frida said. "The cubs…"
"When did the pains first start?"
"When we were about to jump onto the ship with Diego."
"So they just started", Shira said. "You're going to be okay. You have plenty of time before the cubs arrive."
"Just how much?" Frida asked. "I want Diego to be with me. I want to go home."
Shira looked at her feeling so helpless. She had no idea what to do to help her cousin. Shira sighed hoping they would find Diego soon. He needed to be with his mate and their cubs.
