Chapter 3
Liosia was nervous to tell Lion-o. "Is everything alright Liosia?" Lion-o asked.
"Lion-o I have something to tell you," Liosia said.
"What is it are you alright?" Lion-o asked.
"I'm pregnant," Liosia said.
"You mean we're going to have a baby?" Lion-o asked.
"Yes," Liosia said.
Lion-o hugged her and kissed her face. "We're going have a baby!" Lion-o said laughing.
Lion-o called his parents and told them the good news. They congratulated him. Liosia told her parents the good news and they congratulated her.
Claudius came to visit. He was walking around the mall with Lion-o.
"Well son I'm looking forward to being a grandpa. Let me tell a few things Liosia will be going through besides a big belly." Claudius said. "She's going to be really tired, and crabby and much more. She be like you did this to me," he said.
"Really?" Lion-o asked.
"At times yes, it's only because it's a trying time for her. But once you hold that little baby nothing else matters," Claudius said. "I remember when your mother was pregnant with you, I got her a bracelet to celebrate the start of our family," he said.
"Really?" Lion-o asked.
"Yes," Claudius said.
Lion-o bought a necklace at jewelry store. He showed it to Liosia. "Oh Lion-o it's beautiful," she said. Snarf started to rub against Lion-o. He reached down and pet him. Lion-o put the necklace on her.
A few weeks later was Liosia's first prenatal check up. "That's a pretty necklace," the nurse said.
"Thank you," Liosia said.
"So first baby?" the nurse asked.
"Yes," Lion-o said.
"Okay the heart beat will be fast like a little engine." the nurse said. She put fetal doppler on Liosia's middle and there wasn't a sound no matter where she put it. "Hmm," she said. Then tried the ultra sound. "I'll go get the doctor," she said.
The doctor came in. "Okay let's take a look," the doctor said. He used the ultrasound.
"How's the baby?" Liosia asked.
"Not what you'd expect to see at ten weeks," the doctor said. He turned to them. "I'm sorry we don't why it happens but it happens, you've had a miscarriage Liosia," he said.
A bit later they returned home and there was no longer a baby. Liosia sat on the couch. "Okay in a few months we can try again," Lion-o said. He saw Liosia petting Snarf. Snarf was snuggling up to her he could tell she was sad.
Lion-o sat next to her and hugged her.
Time went on. Liosia was getting a degree as a first grade teacher. Lion-o was getting a degree as a Pediatrician in a doctor's office both of them wanted to work with children. Lion-o had to go to school a bit longer though.
Liosia got her degree as a teacher and two years later Lion-o got his Doctrine degree and was now a doctor.
Lion-o and Liosia found a new house. "Okay here we our new home," Lion-o said.
"Yes it sure is nice." Liosia said.
Tomorrow Liosia and Lion-o had their interviews. Lion-o was going to the Thundera children's clinic for his interview and Liosia was going to Thundera Elementary school for her's.
Lion-o came home as did Liosia. "I got the job," Lion-o said.
"Me too," Liosia said.
"Great you will be called Mrs. Roarson by your students," Lion-o said.
"You're right and you are Dr. Roarson," Liosia said.
"Yes," Lion-o said.
Life continued on. Soon their lives were going to change.
