The next few months went by quickly. Tigress still had her mood swings varying from being happy to minutes from murdering someone. Po managed to calm her down from her angry moods but he didn't like doing it. Tigress spent most of her time by herself in her room so she couldn't hurt anyone. She'd also kinda told them to leave her alone and she didn't want any of them around her. Tigress lay in her room watching her wall thinking about Po. She sighed softly lying her head on her paws. She felt the pain shoot through her at a steady rate. She whimpered softly running her paws down her face. She got up heading to her door. "Shifu!" she called out before collapsing on the floor in pain. She cried out Shifu's name again in pain. Shifu ran into her room seeing her on the floor clawing at the ground. "It's coming…the baby." She whispered squeezing her eyes shut to keep the tears back. Shifu ran over to her side holding her gently. "Monkey! Go get Po now!" He ordered. Monkey ran out of his room and out to get Po. Shifu had a nurse on standby at the palace already. She came into the room and Shifu left them be closing the door. Tigress sobbed softly. "I take it back…" She whined softly. "It's too late sweetheart. The baby's coming now." The nurse said holding her paw gently. "No not that. I want Po back!" she sobbed. "Just hold on. This won't be long. You're natural instincts will kick in and it'll be over before you know it." The nurse said softly preparing a few things.
Meanwhile Po was at his father's helping with the noodle business. Po was serving some noodles out to the customers. Po walked back to his dad. "I wish I knew what to do." He said softly. "What do you mean?" Mr. Ping asked. "Tigress said she doesn't want me near her, but I get the feeling in my gut that she doesn't want it. But if I try to do the opposite, she gets mad." He said. "Son, she'll be okay. You're the one who always said that she was the toughest one in the group." He said. Po sighed leaning on the wall. "That was before I had her and she started to show her softer side." Po whispered. "Po! Po!" Monkey shouted running in. "Monkey! What's wrong? You hungry?" Po asked crossing his arms. "No…it's Tigress. She's having the baby." He said. Po's eyes widened before he ran out and off down the street back for the palace. Monkey followed behind him closely.
They ran up the stairs and could hear Tigress from outside crying. "Panda! Come quickly!" Shifu called seeing them. Po ran inside and Shifu pushed him down to Tigress's room. "I want Po!" Tigress sobbed as Po knocked on the door. The nurse opened it slightly seeing him. She smiled. "You should feel better now." She said looking at Tigress as she opened the door. "Po!" She said as he ran over to her. "Shh, it's okay. I'm right here." Po comforted holding her against him gently. She buried her face in his chest taking in his scent. "Alright love, the baby's coming now." The nurse said softly. Po held her tighter stroking her fur gently.
Shifu paced the floor outside the room. Monkey, Crane, Mantis, and Viper just waiting in front of the other rooms. They could hear Tigress crying with the few odd curse words coming up. Shifu just stared at the door as his ear flickered hearing it suddenly silent. Viper held her breath. Mantis moved behind Monkey as Crane and Monkey stared at the door. "What's going on in there?!" Shifu snapped. Po stuck his head out. "She's fine Shifu. She just passed out." He said. They then heard soft cries from behind Po. Shifu opened the door more as Po turned to see the nurse handing him a small bundle. "Congratulations." She said smiling. Po looked down at the little black and white tiger. "It's a little girl." She said before going back over to Tigress. Po held her against his chest just staring at the baby. Shifu jumped up on his staff and smiled. "She's wonderful." He said. Po looked at Shifu and smiled. "Po?" he heard Tigress say weakly. Po turned rushing over to her side. Tigress leant on Po gently looking at the little baby. "And here's your other one." The nurse said putting a bundle in Tigress's arms. "One boy, two girls. Both healthy little babies. But the second girl is the smallest of the three. There's often one in all of them." She said sitting the third one on Tigress's lap which was half the size of the other two but the same coloring as Tigress. Po lifted her up holding two of them. Tigress looked at the one in her arms. She smiled. "It's a baby Po." She said showing it to Po. Po smiled kissing the top of Tigress's head. Tigress purred holding her babies close to her. The others came over to them. "Aww! They're so cute!" Viper said smiling. "You must be happy now." Crane said looking at Po. "He's happy and hopefully Tigress won't kill us like she kept threatening." Mantis said. Tigress looked at them with a death glare. "I'll get you later." She muttered. Mantis jumped behind Monkey who was laughing. Shifu stood on the other side of Tigress. "I'm proud of you. Of both of you." He said. Tigress smiled at her master and father. "Thank you." She said softly.
Po left with the two girls still in his arms and Shifu took their son while the nurse helped Tigress get herself cleaned up so that they could go and see Po's father. Shifu came out with a basket for the babies to go in. Po lay the two he had in as Shifu put the third in. Po sat the staring at the three babies. He felt someone lean on his back gently. "We need to name them." Tigress said softly wrapping her arms around his neck. They sat there for a bit before they decided to name the girl white tiger Lei, their boy panda Jian, and their smallest girl tiger Suyin. "Do think people will think it's bad that we have a "runt" in the family?" Tigress whispered as Po got up with the basket. "I don't know. But if they do, they're gonna have to answer to the Dragon Warrior." He said putting one arm around her waist as they headed off after the others. "I wouldn't worry about it Tigress. There have been many like Suyin before now." Shifu said and Tigress nodded. "Alright master."
They arrived at Mr. Ping's Noodle Shop and he came running out to greet them. The people in there eating crowded around along with villagers from outside to see the new babies. "So? What are their names?" Mr. Ping asked. "We've named them Lei, Jian, and Suyin." Po said. Mr. Ping looked at Suyin. "She's so small." He said. "She's the runt of the litter." Tigress said softly holding Po. "But she's so cute!" Mr. Ping added smiling much to Tigress's relief. Tigress sat down feeling Po sit just behind her. The rest of the villagers were cooing over the babies as we Po's father. "By the way, I got this for you." Po said softly taking her paw slipping a ring on one claw. It was a silver band with a golden dragon around the edge with a diamond in the mouth of the dragon with the tail touching the other side of the diamond. Tigress looked at the ring and smiled wrapping her arms around Po. "Oh I love it!" she said holding him tightly. Po smiled holding her tightly around her waist. "That's good. At least I've got proof I'm yours." She said softly kissing his cheek. "That's true but if they still try to get you, I'll kill them." Tigress purred nuzzling his neck. She looked over at her babies who were still being handed around the villagers. Tigress sighed happily closing her eyes.
