Waking up the next morning, Ozone stretched sleepily. Yawning, he quietly licked his paw and ran it over one of his holey ears. Looking down at Tiberius, he nuzzled him. "Good morning beautiful," he meowed. Blinking his eyes open, the red tailed hawk blushed as he murmured, "Is it that time already?"
"I'm afraid so. Man, I really don't want to do anything today. I just wanna stay with you," Ozone groaned. Sitting up, he pressed his forehead against Tiberius's. Gazing into the hawk's eyes, he remarked, "Maybe I can convince Nitro to keep an eye on things for… how long are you pregnant for?" Thinking for a moment, Tiberius answered, "If it's anything like my first pregnancy then I should have a month left, at least." Flicking his tail, Ozone concluded, "For two months. I think he can handle two months taking care of stuff."
"You're gonna get bored if you wait for a whole month," Tiberius pointed out. Kissing Ozone on the cheek, he went on, "But I do want you to help me the first month of our baby's life." The hairless cat purred and chuckled at the same time as he promised, "Don't worry. Our son will get to know both of his parents."
"You mean our daughter."
"Son."
"Daughter. Also, here's a question. What exactly am I gonna be called? I know you're gonna be called Dad but what about me?" Tiberius questioned. Nuzzling the hawk lovingly, Ozone kissed him before he replied, "Well, I don't know about you but you're gonna make a wonderful mother, whatever you like to be called." Snickering, the hawk murmured, "That didn't answer my question."
"Just go with whatever makes you feel comfortable," Ozone advised. Getting up, he walked out of the shed. Tiberius followed close behind. "I think I'm gonna head over to Gidget's place for a bit," he commented. Nodding his head, Ozone turned around and kissed his lover. Wrapping his long tail around the hawk's foot, he replied, "Be safe and have a good time."
"You too- ow," Tiberius muttered quietly, wincing. Confused, Ozone placed a paw on his shoulder. "You okay?" he asked, worried. Nodding his head, the hawk murmured, "Yeah, I'm alright. Just…" His eyes widening, he glanced down at his stomach. Looking back up at Ozone, he whispered, "Baby kick."
"Wait, are you serious?!" Ozone exclaimed. Smiling happily, Tiberius nodded his head. The two hugged and kissed each other in celebration. Placing his paw on the hawk's stomach, Ozone grinned ear to ear when he felt the tiny baby kicking around. "About time little one," he remarked, "You were worrying your mother to death!"
"I was not worried to death, we both were," Tiberius reminded Ozone. The hairless cat and the red tailed hawk kissed each other again before heading off to go about their day.
