Chapter 3

Lion-o was very happy seeing Liosella pregnant with his child. He placed his hand on her middle. Even though she was barely even showing they were pretty excited. They picked the empty room in cat's lair to be the nursery. They were really looking forward to this.

Liosella at times got nauseous and laid in bed with a waste bin handy. Lion-o would come in and check on her. Liosella was grateful to have such a caring husband.

Lion-o would hold her hair back when she got morning sick. She loved that he was there for her.

Soon Summer left and now it was Autumn. Things were starting to change. The leaves on the tree and much more. Liosella was going through changes too. She her belly was starting to grow. Lion-o was in the bathroom in the shower when he heard Liosella shriek. He rushed out into his room he saw her in her robe. "Hey get out I'm trying to get dressed!" she said.

"Hey I only came because you screamed, now cover up before you catch a cold." Lion-o said.

"You're one to talk your hair is wet you might get sick too!" she snapped.

"Why did you scream?" Lion-o said.

"It's silly, just dry your hair." she said.

Lion-o started to dry his hair. "Could you get dressed now?" Lion-o said.

"I'd like to but I don't know if I can," she said.

"What do you mean?" Lion-o asked.

"This is what I mean," she said. She showed him her clothes. It had a small tear at the seam.

"Whoa, good grief you sure are getting big fast." he said.

"I can't believe you just said that! You trying going through nausea, headache, backaches, heartburn, leg cramps, swollen ankles, cravings, gas, and having big belly! I can't control it!" she said.

"Just put this on," Lion-o said giving her some clothes.

"Okay," she said. The got dressed. "How do I look?" she asked in her new maternity clothes.

'You look beautiful," Lion-o said.

"I don't blame you for that big comment, this little one is growing fast," Liosella said.

"Yes and sorry about that," he said.

"It's okay," she said.

They came out to breakfast. Then sat down and started to eat. "Lion-o, Pumyra is coming over to give me an exam." she said.

"Okay then, I hope you and the baby are doing fine," he said.

Pumyra took a look and everything checked out fine.

Liosella had was experiencing all the things to come with pregnancy. She woke up that night. She had a craving and it was a strong one. "Lion-o wake up," she said.

"What is it?" Lion-o asked.

"Can you get me some ice cream and broccoli?" she asked.

"Okay," he said. He fixed up her snack.

"Lion-o what are you doing up?' Tygra asked.

"Liosella woke me, she wants ice cream and broccoli." Lion-o said.

"I see," Tygra said.

"Now I better take her snack to her." Lion-o said.

"Okay then," Tygra said.

Lion-o brought Liosella her little snack. Liosella finished it up and went to sleep.

Soon winter had come and it was freezing. Liosella wore warm clothes. She was sitting in a chair nice and comfy. She was reading a book. Then she felt a little kick. "Well, well looks like someone is energetic." she said.

"Hey Liosella are you doing okay?' Lion-o asked.

"Yes the baby is just kicking a lot," Liosella said.

Lion-o smiled at her.

Soon it was Spring and everything was in full bloom. Including Liosella she was going to have the baby at anytime now.
