chapter 4
Pumyra had just woken up. She saw something in the mirror. She smiled as she rubbed her growing belly. There was no denying it now she was going to have a baby. Then she realized the baby would need a good mother and father. This baby would depend on her. She took in a deep breath to calm down. I'm soon going to be a mother, I hope I do okay, she thought.
She doubted if she would be a good mother. She was really doubting if she really wanted her baby. "Pumyra what's wrong you seem rather tense," a voice said.
Pumyra turned around and saw Lynx-o. "Lynx-o I'm starting show a little and I have starting to have doubts." Pumyra said.
"It's perfectly natural to have doubts, so don't worry everything will be fine," Lynx-o said.
"Thanks Lynx-o," Pumyra said.
Pumyra started to sew a toy. She was even making a blanket. "Hey Pumyra," Bengali said. He came up and kissed her.
"Hey Bengali," Pumyra said.
Pumyra no longer got morning sick which was a relief to her. She began to think of the things she would do with her baby. The doctor came to check on her. "Your baby is just fine." the doctor said.
They were happy to hear it. Soon they started to think of names. The nursery was really coming together. "Pumyra I wish there was a way tell what the baby was going to be." Bengali said.
"Me too but we just have to wait." Pumyra said.
That night Bengali was getting out of bed. He was headed for the berbil village who he knew was having a late night harvest. "Pumyra are you sure you want candy fruit?" Bengali asked.
"Yes, and some bean burritos too," Pumyra said.
"Burritos? Okay then," Bengali said.
Pumyra still had pregnancy symptoms back aches, swollen ankles, gas, heart burn, leg cramps, mood swings and cravings.
Bengali was working on something. They were already married and he was making something to celebrate the start of their new family. He showed Pumyra the necklace he made.
"Bengali, it's beautiful!" Pumyra said.
"Thanks I worked really hard on it," Bengali said,
"You made it yourself?' Pumyra asked.
"Yes took a lot of hard work," Bengali said.
Pumyra gave him a big kiss.
Pumyra was reading and she noticed something. The baby just kicked. Bengali was working next to her he was organizing his things. He heard her laugh. "What is it?" Bengali asked.
"The baby is kicking," she said.
"Really?" Bengali asked. Pumyra nodded and smiled.
"Do you want to feel?" she asked.
"You don't mind?" Bengali asked.
"Of course not," she said. Bengali reached out a shaky hand and placed on her middle. Sure enough there was a lively little kick.
"Looks like it's doing okay in there," Bengali said.
"Yes, it makes me feel good that the baby is doing fine," Pumyra said.
"Hello, Bengali and Pumyra what's with all the excitement?" Lynx-o asked.
"I just felt the baby kick for the time," Pumyra said.
"Yes I felt it kick again just awhile ago," Bengali said.
"Do you want to feel Lynx-o?" Pumyra asked.
"Sure," Lynx-o said. He placed his hand on her belly and felt the baby kick.
Pumyra often stayed at the tower while the other Thundercats went out. Snarfer stayed with her. She sometimes let him feel the baby kick. Snarfer was thrilled he got to feel the baby move. "Is it a boy or a girl?" Snarfer asked.
"We won't know until the baby is born," Pumyra said.
The nursery was almost finished. Bengali, Panthro, and Tygra were putting the finishing touches on it. "I hope Pumyra likes it," Bengali said.
"I think she will," Panthro said.
"I believe so too, we worked really hard on it," Tygra said.
Finally it was finished. Bengali lead her to it.
"Wow, it's amazing." Pumyra said.
