Chapter 3
One Month Later…
Tigress awaken, she realizes that the sun is up and this alarmed her. Bai Lin usually wakes her somewhere around sunrise. Tigress look over at the basket that
Bai Lin sleeps in, and didn't see her.
"Bai Lin." Tigress quickly got up and went straight for the basket, she found a letter. Tigress feared the worse, she grab the letter and read it:
Tigress don't freak out, it's Po, I was checking on you and Lin, and I found Little Lin crawling around on the floor. I didn't want to wake you, I took Lin so you can sleep.
~Po
PS, sorry if I scared you.
'Silly panda.' Tigress thought and is relieved that nothing bad happen to her daughter, she changes her clothes and went out into the hallway.
Tigress notices that the others are not in their rooms and judging by the time they must be at Training Hall.
As she got closer to the kitchen she heard Po's voice, she peek into the room curiosity,
seeing Po sitting at the table holding Bai Lin.
"So we were surrounded, a hundred to one, it was me, the Furious Five, Master Shifu,
Master Storming Ox and Master Croc.
We fight our way through the wolves to get to Shen, as we got closer to the peacock, he jumped on the Weapon and aim down at us.
I was in it's way again, and when Shen fired it, your totally awesome mom pushed me out of the way risking… her life… to save me." Po stop and looked down sadly.
Tigress study Po's face, 'I didn't know that risking my life effected him so much.' she thought. Bai Lin begins to squirms getting the panda's attention.
"Sorry Lin, now where was I." Po smiled,
Tigress walked into the kitchen, Bai Lin squealed happily as she saw her
"Oh Tigress I didn't see you there, I was telling Lin a story."
Po said as he handed the white tiger cub to her.
Tigress rubs her nose on Bai Lin's and kissed the cub's forehead. Po sat there leaning his head on his paw watching them, he likes seeing Tigress's motherly side.
"You feed her?" Tigress asked, staring at Po.
"Yep, you know for a little cub she sure eats a lot." the panda responded.
"I bet you were the same as a cub too, only bigger." she teased and chuckled a bit.
"Ouch, Tigress words can hurt you know." Po shot back hurtfully and looked away from her, Tigress felt sorry then the panda gazed back with a grin.
"Just kidding." Po said, he got up and grabs a plate off the stove.
"Hungry?" he asked showing Tigress the plate has tofu stir-fry on it.
"Very." she smiled, Po put her food down on the table and Tigress gave him Bai Lin. The tiger sat down, pick up the chopsticks and started to eat.
"So the nanny that Shifu hired is coming today, right?" Po asked as he tickled Bai Lin.
"Yes, but I personally think we don't need one though." Tigress replied stubbornly and took a bite out of the tofu.
"But Shifu said that the nanny is only watching Lin when we're; training, fighting off bandits, or going away on missions."
Po didn't mind watching Bai Lin when it came to training, but it was hard on their teammates if Tigress or even he had to stay behind when danger appears in the Valley.
"I know, Its just I don't like the thought of leaving my daughter alone with a stranger." She gazed down at her paws.
Po kneel down, held her paw and looked into her eyes.
"Hey it's going to be okay, Shifu would never let just anyone to watch Lin, he loves her like his own granddaughter." Po reassured, Tigress smiled at him.
"You're right Po." Tigress saw Bai Lin reaching out to her, she happily tickled the cub's stomach.
Po gazed at Tigress, watching her play with Bai Lin in his arm.
'She so beautiful.' he thought.
The tiger noticed Po is staring at her, she blushed but didn't say anything. This happen so many times that she came to like his gazes, it made her feel special in a strange way.
Shifu strolled in and saw the two warriors, he cleared his throat getting their attention.
"Master Shifu." the students said, Po stand back up.
"I was coming to get you Tigress, the nanny is almost here and I wanted us to greet her."
the Grandmaster said.
"Yes master." Tigress got up taking Bai Lin from Po, she looked into his emerald eyes.
"Um.. Shifu can Po come too?" she asked hopefully, the panda smiled at this.
The red panda stared at Po. "I suppose the Dragon Warrior can also come."
Tigress left into the hallway, as Po goes to follow her, Shifu stepped in front him and gave him a stern glance that send chills down Po's spine. Shifu went in the hallway leaving Po alone, 'What was that about?'
The Palace Courtyard…
Shifu, Tigress, and Po waited patiently for the nanny, the palace's doors slowly opens.
"Phew! They could of told me about the stairs." huffed a female voice.
The three masters saw a light golden fox coming in, she is wearing a white dress-robe.
"Po hold Bai Lin and wait here 'til I call you." Tigress ordered suddenly.
"Umm… Okay?" Po took the baby.
Tigress strolled up to the fox, Shifu trailed behind her.
"Oh, hello I am Jin the nanny." The fox said and bowed at them, now that the masters were closer to her they noticed that she has brown eyes, she is taller then Shifu but small compared to Tigress, and in her late forties.
"I'm Shifu." the Grandmaster bowed.
"A pleasure to meet you, Master Shifu." Jin said respectfully, then she noticed the tiger staring at her in a questionable way.
"Ah, you must be the mother and I bet you want to ask me some questions." Jin said with a smile, Tigress is surprised.
"How did you-"
"Know?" Jin chuckled and continued.
"I been with three families and the mothers tend to judged me at first."
"I'm Master Tigress." she didn't bowed however,
"And I do have some questions." she added.
"Aright tell me." Jin replied happily.
"How long have you been doing this?"
"Twenty-five years."
"Have you care for children of kung fu masters before?"
"Yes, my last two families."
"How long will you stay?"
"I'll stay until I'm no longer needed anymore, hopefully that won't be to soon." Shifu chuckled a little at that last part.
"And what else can you do?"
"Well I can; cook, clean, sew, and I'm also a healer." She answered nonchalantly.
Tigress raised her brow and thought very carefully "That's it for now." she said, the fox nodded at her.
"Miss Tigress may I see the child now?" Jin asked nicely.
"Po." Tigress called out, the panda walked towards them, he smiled at the fox.
"Hi, I'm Po." He bowed then tickled Bai Lin making her giggle.
"And this is Bai Lin." he added with grin, showing Jin the cub.
"I'm Jin." the fox bowed, she gazed at the baby and smiled.
"May I hold her?" she asked.
Po looked at Tigress making sure that she is alright with this, she nodded at him then Po handed Bai Lin over.
"Oh, you're a cute little one." Jin cooed at Bai Lin, the cub squealed happily.
"Well if Lin likes you then you're okay with me." Po said to Jin, he gently rubs Bai Lin's head.
"It's nice to see such a devoted father." Jin smiled at the panda.
"Oh I'm not… I.. I mean… Lin is just Tigress's daughter." the Dragon Warrior stuttered, he began rubbing the back of his neck nervously.
Jin gave him a puzzled looked, "But I thoug-"
"I'll show you to your quarter." Tigress interrupted the fox, by the tone of her voice Jin decided not to questioned the relationship of the panda and the tiger.
"Can someone please get my belongings, I left them at the bottom of the stairs."
Jin asked,
Shifu snapped his fingers then three geese appeared and bowed.
"Go retrieve Miss Jin's property and bring them to her room." Shifu ordered.
"Yes, Grandmaster." the geese replied and flew off.
