Chapter 2
Sid was on his way back home. He was sure he heard that laugh before.. The more he thought about it, the more he became worried.. about everyone. He started walking faster and faster. Then he heard a croak from a frog and scared himself.
"GAHH. Oh, hey little guy!" Sid said to the frog smiling.
The frog just looked at him and hopped off. Sid shrugged and kept walking.
When he finally got home, he saw everyone crowded together. He got curious about the commotion and squished through the crowd to see Diego looking at Shira smiling. So, Sid ran up to them.
"Guys, whats going on?" He specifically asked Diego.
"Well, Sid, your going to be an uncle.. again." Diego laughed happily.
Sid gazed at Shira in excitement.
"Oh! I'm so happy for you!" He exclaimed as he jumped up on Diego's head and gave him a nuggy.
"Ow! Sid!" He rubbed his sore head and continued to pay attention to Shira.
Ellie walked up to Shira and Diego smiling. "Congratulations you two! I'm sure you guys will be great parents!"
"Thank you, Ellie. I'm glad your here to help us through this." Shira smiled at Ellie as she passed by.
"Yea! Gratz, Diego!" Crash and Eddie both said at the same time. Diego just smiled.
A little while later, Mannie told everyone to give the two parents some space, and for the visitors to go home.
Sid didn't have any tome to talk to Mannie about what he had heard. He tried to get his attention, but he apparently was too busy at the time. So he decided to tell him tomorrow.
That night, Shira and Diego were in they're cave sleeping, when something awoke Diego. He wasn't quite sure what made the snapping sound. His protective instincts kicked in, he knew that he had to protect his mate from the fierce world around them, especially since she is pregnant. He got up, with his claws out, and his fur standing on end, and slowly walked toward the entrance of the cave. He glanced outside, but he saw nothing. Diego decided to stay near the entrance, just in case he heard it again.
