chapter 3

Lion-o and Liosella were doing fine and they were hoping to have a baby. Liosella got a call from her doctor. "Hello, really?! Thank you, of course by," she said.

"Who was it Liosella?" Lion-o asked.

"It was the doctor," she said.

"What did he say?' Lion-o asked.

"He said I'm pregnant!" she said.

"That's great!" Lion-o said hugging her.

They went to work at the hospital. "Hey Lion-o and Liosella good to see you," Dr. Bax said.

"Hello Dr. Bax." Lion-o said.

"Calling Dr. Lion-o Roarson, woman in labor." the voice over the intercom said.

"I got to go," Lion-o said. He hurried off and delivered a healthy baby girl. Then he came back a bit later after cleaning up.

"We have some big news," Liosella said.

"What is it?" the other doctors asked.

"I'm pregnant," Liosella said.

"Congratulations you two," Dr. Vitter said.

"Thanks," Lion-o said.

They were very happy about having their first baby. They called their parents and told them the news. "This is wonderful congratulations." Claudius said.

Lenoch congratulated his daughter and her brother Lenoch Jr. congratulated her too.

A few weeks later Liosella and Lion-o were at the doctors office. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Roarson, I'm Dr. Elted let's see how you are doing Mrs. Roarson," he said.

He started the exam. He looked at the ultrasound and he looked worried. "This not what I expect to see at nine weeks," he said. He turned to Liosella and Lion-o. "I'm sorry, we don't know why it happens but it happens." he said.

Lion-o took Liosella home. "In a few weeks we can try again." Lion-o said. He turned and saw Snarf was in Liosella's lap and she was petting him. Lion-o sat down next to her and hugged her.

Lion-o called his parents and told them the bad news. "I'm sorry Lion-o, I have had miscarriages before I know how Liosella is feeling. It's a great deal of loss on someone." Leona said.

Liosella's mother sympathized with her.

In December Lion-o and Liosella left on Vacation and left Snarf with Tygra and his family. "I appreciate you pet sitting Snarf. I hope he can deal with your two year olds." Lion-o said.

"I think he can, we will take good care of him, now you two enjoy your vacation," he said.

Lion-o and Liosella got into their hotel room and started to relax. That night they made love. The came back a week later. Snarf was happy to see them and he jumped into Lion-o's arms.

"How was Snarf?" Lion-o asked.

"He was fine." Tygra said. "He's really good with kids," he said.

"That's great, thanks for watching him," Lion-o said.

A few weeks later Liosella got another call from the doctor. "Lion-o the doctor called and I'm pregnant." she said.

"That's wonderful!" Lion-o said.

Lion-o and Liosella went to see Dr. Elted again. "Okay let's check on you and the baby." he said. He did the ultrasound and he looked pleased. "Good news the baby is just fine," he said.

"That's great," Lion-o said.

Lion-o and Liosella were excited about this. By March Liosella was wearing maternity clothes. Liosella was giving a little a boy a sticker after putting his arm in a cast. "Thank you," he said.

"You're welcome," Liosella said.

"So when is your baby due?" the mother asked.

"September." Liosella said.

"That's nice, well congratulations." the mother said.

Lion-o came by a bit later and kissed her.

The months passed by quickly. Now Liosella was nine months pregnant and would soon give birth to a baby girl. That night Snarf was curled up in his bed and watching Liosella. She woke up in pain. "Lion-o wake up it's time," she said.

Lion-o got up and grabbed the bag. He took her to the hospital. Dr. Elted was there. He was checking on everything. "Looks like everything is going fine," he said.

A few hours later Dr. Elted got dressed up in his scrubs and gave some to Lion-o to wear. There were nurses there too. "Okay, Liosella are you ready?" Dr. Elted asked.

"Yes I'm ready," she said.

Then at 10:30 am Liosella gave birth to healthy baby girl. They named her Liosia. "Hello Liosia, you are so beautiful yes you are," Lion-o said.

Their parents came into see their granddaughter. "Isn't she a little beauty," Claudius said.

A bit later Lion-o and Liosella brought Liosia home. Snarf started to sniff at her and then began to purr. "You like her don't you," Lion-o said.

Soon Liosia was going to grow up.
