Chapter 22: I like you!
Eve yawned widely; her massive jaws and teeth bore outward to the rising sun to the east. The spring breeze ruffled through her thick obsidian fur warmly as her eyes closed for a moment, her whole being still drained from her full night's labor.
But despite her weakness Eve took full pleasure of its reward, cub-child Dawn; which she slowly brought her gaze to with large caring eyes. The baby was not much more than two feet from her, looking around intently.
Every moment that passed brought more amazement to her as she watched her daughter's stunning intelligence, for being a, day year old. She had even early been trying to mimic speech. 'I do hope English is within her reach. What if she has vocal cords unable to sustain human speech?' she smiled none-the-less as her child turned and smiled widely at her mother.
Piccolo had gone an hour ago to find Eve food. He had insisted she rest for at least a day before hunting again. Of course she did not argue too long over the issue, and was very flattered he offered. So she remained relaxed on her pile of materials ranging from cotton to fur as she kept vigilance over her cub.
-----------------------
'This thing is big. Wow.' Her deep blue eyes slowly groped her surroundings with hawk-like eyesight. 'How can I get over there?' She pondered, wrinkling her nose at the far end of the cave, where Piccolo resided normally.
She perched both her large onyx ears forward. They seemed a little too big in proportion to her head, much in the way a colt's ears look over sized until they can grow into them. But her eyes seemed to be fixated on the regions seemingly beyond her tiny reach.
' Whatever.. I can make it.' she pushed up onto her four paws, and paused, waiting for her balance to center. 'Now.. one.. at a.. time.' Her ears fell back as she steadily slid one padded paw-like hand forward, followed by the other. She then fell flat on her belly.
"Peowl!" she yelped as she lay there stunned for a moment.
----------------------
Eve's ears flickered and she wanted to go help, her baby was hurt. But Tigress merely huffed and began grooming her forepaw contentedly.
'But.But. ' She pulled the Tigress' attention back to the cub that had surprisingly regained her footing and was making decent progress.
'She's walking!.' She blinked, "Kind of."
-----------------------
Dawn watched the stone floor intensely as it passed betwixt her forearms and disappeared as she moved forward. She stumbled again, but caught her lanky form before it felt completely.
She giggle/purred when she began getting a rhythm going. 'I'm doing it!! I'm doing it!!' The cub-ress smiled and turned her large eyes to what lied ahead. Sadly it was too late to prevent her tripping over Piccolo's bedroll. Which sent she, herself rolling head over tail.
She did in fact stop when her back crashed into a hard, heavy lump of white cloth. The feline-like child slowly fell to her side and pushed her upper body back up on her fore 'paws'. She looked at this huge white object. It was pointed on both sides with a hole in the center. Beside that was a purple ball half wrapped in white stuff too.
'Weird.' she held one large ear forward while the other tilted back in confusion. After much deliberation the child shrugged and started crawling all over the larger of the two objects.
-----------------------
The mother Tiger watched on passively, 'Piccolo is going love this.' she mused with a smirk, raising her whiskers a hint.
Her eyes and ears turned to the cave mouth as Piccolo landed with a large deer, killed already of course. He grinned evilly. "Hope you like your meat rare."
He then dropped it at the cave mouth, not wanting her to eat it inside the cave. He couldn't imagine what a mess that would make. Eve stood listlessly and prowled over to the kill and eagerly began to fed on it.
Not being a large food person, he turned away and continued in to let her eat alone. But the Namake paused.
Piccolo's onyx eyes were fixed on his weighted training cloths. The shoulder weight was, moving side to side and had a slender object protruding from the neck opening.
"Dawn." The moment her name left his lips the tail disappeared and a pair of ears slowly peeked out, preceding the cherubic face of the cub-child Dawn.
He stormed up to her and knelt. "These are mine. Not yours." He reached down and wrapped his hands around her slender body, pulling her free of the cape. He held her for a moment. Her large fluffy paws rested lightly on his wrists and her legs and tail dangled limply under her, both ears wide to him.
'.She is.. cute.. Sorta. maybe.. NO she is a horrid creature! A baby!' he sat her down at his feet abruptly. '.Loving a woman is enough of a weakness, but. a baby! Its insane!'
Piccolo looked down at her, she was still staring up at him, ears open to him, eyes wide and tail lightly taping the stone left to right. "What?" He crossed his arms still watching her.
The little one suddenly began giggling and brushed against his leg. Purring loudly in her throat and marbling.
---------------------
She trusted him completely for some reason, not to drop her as he held her high in the air. Not to say she wasn't scared, in fact looking at him was the only thing that was keeping her tiny heart out of her throat.
Then something passed behind his eyes, and he sat her down hard, it stung her bum a little, but she was grateful to be back to the ground. 'What's wrong daddy?'
He then looked down at her, and she could see something soft in his cold eyes. "What?" he questioned. So she replied. 'I like you daddy!!' She then stood and brushed her fur-like skin against his purple pants.
-----------------------
Eve had been watching them since he had picked her baby up. He wagged her long ,sleek tail slowly and smiled again.
'he liked her. That's good.' She returned to her meal as he started backing away from Dawn, only to have her follow clumsily.
"Hey.. now.. stop that! Go play with your mother.. Look she's over there!" she could hear Piccolo muttering behind her. "Let go! Stop that!" Her neck pivoted to look back, to watch the scene of Dawn, teeth and petite claws attached to the bottom portion of Piccolo's gi, sliding her back feet along the smooth flow with every backward step he took.
She laughed inside. ' Priceless.'
Sorry for the long absence, writers block, plus a horrid cold. sneezes and no I'm not better yet, 2 weeks!! I'm sick of being. sick!! Well hope you enjoyed this! I thought it was cute. The mental pictures give me the giggles. I mean you imagine Piccolo dragging a little cat thing on his pants!
Well till next time!! Live long, Play hard, and Dream well!!
