The next morning at four, Tigress woke up. She sat up stretching. She felt Po wrap his arm around her waist pulling her back against him. Tigress smiled kissing his cheek. She moved his arm only to find she couldn't. "Po? Can you move your arm please?" She asked. "No. I don't want you to get up yet." He muttered holding her tighter. "What's the time anyway?" he asked. "4am." She said. "It should be a crime to get up before 6am." Po grumbled. "I want to feed the kids before they cry and wake up the others." She said softly. He sighed letting her go. She got up going over to where the kids were sleeping. She sat down feeding them while Po watched her. Po then got up going into the kitchen coming back with some food eating it. "Making you hungry am I?" She said softly smirking at him. Po leant back. "I'm always hungry." He said moving over next to her. "If I was hungry for you, I'd have had you last night." He whispered kissing her neck biting down gently. She leant on him more looking up at him. "Cheeky." She said smirking. Po laughed before walking out to put his dishes away.
The two of them then took the kids to the training hall and started to fight against each other. "You know, you've improved a lot and both Shifu and I are very impressed." She said. "Really? I didn't think I'd improved that much." He said. Tigress smiled as she dodged one of his attacks. She crouched down raising her haunches making sure she had Po's attention when she did. She smiled seeing him just staring at her. "Like what you see huh?" She said smirking as she jumped up on the edge where Shifu usually stood to watch them. Po followed her up there grabbing her wrist when she stood up and spun her around pinning her against the wall. "I like everything I see attached above and below it." He whispered in her ear. Tigress smiled pulling him down kissing him harshly. Po kissed her back as their tongues battled for dominance which Tigress won. Tigress groaned softly as Po ran his paws up her shirt. Po lifted her up sitting her on top of a table. Tigress wrapped her legs around him holding him close as she ran her paws through his fur. Po kissed down her neck nibbling it gently. Tigress groaned softly wrapping her arms around his neck. She froze when she heard footsteps heading towards the training arena. "Po! Someone's coming!" She said. Po groaned pulling away from her. Shifu and the others appeared at the bottom of the stairs as Tigress straightened up her shirt. "Good morning Tigress and Po." Shifu greeted eyeing the two of them. "Good morning master." They both said bowing. Shifu looked over at the basket with the three children were in. He walked over to them and smiled. "Good to see these little ones are okay too." He said. "But let's begin our training now." They nodded running into the arena and began their practice.
They stopped when Zeng came in. "Breakfast is ready." He said looking at the as he put some cleaning supplies down. Po and Monkey were first out. Tigress collected Lei, Jian, and Suyin following after the others. They sat down in the kitchen eating their breakfast. Po finished first despite eating four lots. He then decided to do some extra training outside. He took his kids with him while the others finished up. He went up to the Sacred Peach Tree. He sat the basket down looking at his kids for a minute before he started his meditation. He hadn't told anyone but he had been have bad sleep recently. For some reason he'd been thinking about when he lost his mother and thought some meditation might help. It worked before he had his fight with Chen so why not now as well. Tigress came out of the building watching Po doing his meditation. She walked over towards the hill heading up to him. She just stood behind him not saying anything while he concentrated on his meditating. She moved over next to the kids kneeling down next to them. Po paused squeezing his eyes tighter letting his arms fall to his side. Tigress walked up behind him standing against him. She took his hand in hers holding it gently. "What's wrong Po?" She asked as he opened his eyes feeling her. "It's nothing. I'm fine." He whispered. "Something is wrong baby. What is it?" She asked as he began his meditation again with her following his movements. "I just haven't been sleeping properly." He said. "Been thinking about your parents?" She asked. Po paused looking at her. "How did you know?" he asked. "You look like what I do when I think about mine. Plus last night I woke up and you were talking in you sleep about them." She said.
They both sat down under the tree. Tigress leant on Po tracing patterns with her claw on his fur. "It's normal for this Po. Sometimes you just miss them more than other days. But I'm your girlfriend. You can talk to me about it. We've both been through it, so I know what it's like." She said softly. Po sighed resting his head on hers. It looked like he was about to cry which hurt Tigress. "Po don't cry. It hurts me to see you sad like this. I like it when you're all bubbly and energetic like you usually are." Po held her tightly kissing the top of her head. "I'll be fine." He said softly. She leant over picking up her three kids sitting Jian and Suyin in his arms while she had Lei. He smiled holding them all close to him. "As long as I have all that's important to me I'll be fine. And I have that right now." He said making her smile. "That's better. I like seeing you smile since you hardly did it." He said and she laughed. "Let's go for a walk." She said softly and he nodded.
They headed off with the kids down to the village. Po stopped by his father's place to see him and get something to eat. Tigress sat down upstairs to feed the kids. She could hear Po heading up the stairs munching away at the food he got from his father. Po walked into his room looking over at her. He sat down next to her looking at his kids. He smiled to himself stroking their fur gently. Tigress smiled watching him. "Have you always wanted kids?" She asked softly. "Yeah. Why?" He asked looking at her. "I just didn't want you to feel like you had to look after them because they're your kids. If you didn't want it, I wouldn't make you look after them." Po held her close to him nuzzling the top of her head. "Even if I didn't know I wanted kids, once you told me you were having my kids, I knew this is definitely what I wanted. But I knew what I wanted. I just never expected it to be with you." Tigress frowned slightly looking at him. "Was it a bad thing?" she asked. Po smiled shaking his head. "I've wanted you since I first saw you. I just never thought it would happened since you hated me so much. Especially after I became the Dragon Warrior." Tigress leant on him with her back against his chest. "Maybe you did take it from me, but you're ten times the Dragon Warrior that I'd be." She whispered. Po smiled wrapping his arms around her hugging her as he watched her feed their kids thinking about whole life he'd have ahead with her now.
