And the moment has come over! Sierra's gonna give birth! Yes, you heard me right...she's giving birth!
Chapter 23: New Cub
Seconds went by and Sierra was rushed into a hospital room with all the nurses and the doctors rolling by and suddenly...they placed her in the same room Max is and that literally surprised Tigress and Max because they were not expecting Sierra to come there and when Max looked up, she saw that her stomach is getting a lot bigger now and said, "Sierra?"
Sierra looks up and sees Max on another hospital bed and that's when she realized that she's sharing a hospital room with Max and she said, "Max? What are you doing here?"
Max didn't want to explain the real reason why he's in the hospital room because that's gonna be kept to himself because it's Tigress related and he only responded, "It's a long story. Like...really long story."
Arizona quickly rushed by her side and he grabbed ahold of her paw and said, "Hey, I'm here for you. Is it really time?"
"Yes, it's time. I was gonna wait to tell you when you got back, but this baby got other plans. It just couldn't wait." Sierra answered.
Max quickly sat up and got a little closer and asked, "So...does that mean the baby's coming?"
"Yeah, it's coming." Sierra answered.
Max couldn't be more excited...or anxious to see the baby being born and he felt completely happy that Arizona's gonna be a dad and that will make him an uncle and he said, "I wanna be there when the baby gets born."
"Max...that's very sweet of you, but I think it's better that you don't see the birth. It may not fit for a 10 year old to see this." Sierra added.
"Then...why did Sage tell me that I'm ready to see a girls' uvula?" asked Max.
Suddenly, Arizona and Sierra stared at Max for a second in stunned expressions that Sage would fill Max's head with thoughts like that and Sierra said, "Remind me to beat up Sage the minute the baby gets born."
"I'll probably do that." Arizona stated.
Tigress clears her throat and she gets up for a while and leaves the room, but not before looking at Max as he lays back down on his bed and she could tell that there's more of that strength of his still there and it surprised her very well on how pure and kindhearted he really is and she walked out of there with that feeling that he'll be all right.
"So...Sierra's giving the baby here?" asked Samurai.
"That's what the nurses said." Mako answered.
Phoenix expressed a little bit of concern that Sierra's gonna give birth while Max is there and asked, "So...with Max there, wouldn't it be kinda awkward for him to see the birth?"
"Don't worry about that. The nurses are gonna make sure that Max doesn't see the birth of the baby and in the event that Sierra does give birth, they're gonna take Max into another room that's closer to Sierra's where he won't wake up to her screaming." Summer said.
"What?! How will Max learn to see a girls' part? I would've been cool with that!" Sage exclaimed.
Tigress ended up heading towards Sage and punched him in the nose hard and she said, "You have no moral respect for women."
"Like I care. They can come and get a piece of Sage any day of the week." Sage said, smirking.
Summer cracked her knuckles in front of Sage and she turned to him with a very serious threatening look and said, "One more comment and you'll be the third person in need of a hospital bed."
Hours later
Arizona was right by Sierra's side throughout this process and Sierra started panting heavily and Summer was beside her as well, giving her wolf sister some support through it all and she said, "You're doing great, Sierra."
"Thank you, Summer. I don't know how long will it take for me to make it through." Sierra said.
"You'll be fine, Sierra. Just remember...you will get through this and I'm right here." Arizona said, holding her hand.
Soon enough, the nurses were ready for Sierra to start pushing and she started panting heavily and started pushing as hard as she could and the more Sierra pushed, she started moaning and screaming out loud and Arizona kept hanging on to her and encouraging her to push forward and through all those agonizing moments...
"I can see the head!" the nurse shouted.
"Keep pushing, Sierra!" Arizona shouted.
"I am pushing!" Sierra exclaimed.
And with one final push...did they hear a baby cub crying out of nowhere and Sierra finally started breathing and they finally get a chance to see their new baby boy and after the nurses cleaned him up, they presented the newborn to Arizona and Sierra and one nurse said, "Say hello to your son."
As they give it to Sierra, she was overwhelmed with so much joy and emotion that it couldn't be put to words and when she held him, it was like the best day of their lives. She smiled and said, "I can't believe it...I'm finally a mother."
For Arizona, the feeling was completely amazing than ever and that his dreams and hopes of being a father are coming true and he said, "I'm so proud of you, Sierra."
"Do you realize we brought this little miracle in this world? Thanks for making this the best day of my life." Sierra said, tearfully.
"You made it the best day of my life too." Arizona said, in tears.
They saw their baby cub's eyes just open up and the cub saw them for the first time and in that moment, they knew that their duties of being parents have just begun and the feeling is really sweet. Seconds later, the nurses brought Max back in the room to see the baby and when Max saw it, he was really amazed and happy to see them for the first time.
"Aww...I'm so happy for you guys." Max said, happily.
"Thank you, Max." Sierra said.
Arizona held onto the baby for a while and once he looked him in the eyes, it was like an instant connection shooting right through them and he was gonna everything he can to give his son something he never had; a good life. They were unaware that everyone else is coming in to see this and once they saw the cub for the first time, they knew that this is something special.
"I'm so proud of you guys for having this baby." Mako said, happily.
Musaki agreed with that as he walked beside Summer and he kissed her on the forehead and said, "That's gonna be us someday."
Summer smiled back as well and completely agreed with Musaki there and she's really excited to have kids with him soon and said, "Yeah...that will be so wonderful."
"Just as long as someday doesn't come too soon." Samurai stated.
They were looking at the pup's eyes and they can see a little resemblance between him and Arizona based on the eyes and Summer looked at the baby and said, "He looks like you, Arizona."
Sierra looked at both of them based on the eyes and she can tell that they matched a little bit and she said, "He has your beautiful eyes and your ears."
"He looks like you too. He's got your cute muzzle and your lips." Arizona stated.
Sierra giggled in response to that and said, "Too bad he doesn't have your spiky hair yet."
Arizona chuckled in response to that and she did have a point there and Max looked over at them and asked, "So...what are you guys gonna call him?"
"I don't know. Maybe we should name him after the Dragon Warrior." Sierra stated.
Po was completely honored to have the little one named after him and he said, "I've never had a baby named after me!"
Arizona had a little bit of a second thought and soon...the name just popped out and he said, "I got it. How about...Jacob?"
"Jacob? Sounds very promising." Sierra answered.
"Xiao Po Jacob." Max suggested.
Both parents thought about that name and even though the first two names are named after Po, they felt that Jacob would be onto something and the combination of them together became a huge element and that it deserves to be the name of this pup and one look at him, Arizona said, "Yeah...Xiao Po Jacob. That will catch on."
Sierra agreed and she turned to Po for a second and said, "Is it okay if you used your first two names for our baby?"
"It's cool with me." Po replied.
"Also...I have something to ask you and Max; would you be the honors of being his godfathers?" asked Arizona.
Max was up for the task in addition to being his uncle and Po immediately said, "Absoultely. We'll be great godfathers."
"And Summer...you'll be the godmother." Sierra added.
Summer was deeply honored to be the cub's godmother because her and Sierra are like sisters and friends; literally very tight with each other and she said, "I'd love to. Me and Musaki will babysit him if you want."
"Of course." Arizona replied.
That day became the best day of their lives to see Arizona and Sierra being parents for the first time and everyone took it all in and that it's a moment they will never forget.
If you guys wanted to ask why or how Sierra got pregnant, just reply back. But anyways...a sweet tender moment for both wolves! They're finally parents! Stay tuned for more!
