chapter 2

Lion-o was in bed and he was woken up by crying. He jumped out of bed to check on Liosia. He picked her up. He began to rubbed her back. "Sleep Liosia, sleep," he said. He then changed her diaper and put her back to bed.

Lion-o went back to bed and went back to sleep. Then he was woken by crying again. "Okay let's make you bottle," Lion-o said. He got the bottle ready and made sure the formula was warm and started to feed her. She looked at him with her big sweet blue eyes. She drank a third of the bottle and then let go. Lion-o then placed her up to his shoulder and started patting her back. He stopped when he heard her burp.

"There we go," he said then placed her back in her bassinet.

"Finally back to bed," he said. Then went back to sleep. He woke up an hour later it was time wake up. He saw Liosia sleeping and smiled. He made sure the baby monitor was on so they could hear her cry. Lion-o came into the dining room and yawned. "Morning," he said in the middle of a yawn.

"Good grief Lion-o didn't you get a good night's sleep?' Wilykat asked.

"Yes you look tired," Wilykit said.

"I am tired Liosia was crying most of the night." Lion-o said.

"Why was she crying that much?" Snarfer asked.

"All babies cry," Snarf said. "It's how they tell their parents they need things," he said.

"Oh," Snarfer said.

"Right now she's sleeping so I don't want her to be woken up." Lion-o said.

Everyone nodded.

Over the next couple of days Lion-o's thoughts were on Liosia his daughter his only family. He wished that the escape pod had room for Lilian too. That way he wouldn't be doing it on his own. He missed her. He knew she would want him to be strong for Liosia.

Their friends came to meet Liosia. "She is pretty Lion-o," Robear Bill said. "This is a present for her," he said showing rattle. "We made it ourselves," he said.

"Thank you, you didn't have to do that," Lion-o said.

"We are trying to help, we are sorry about your wife," Robear Bill said.

"Thanks I'm hanging in there, I feel better knowing my friends are here for me," Lion-o said.

Everyone brought gifts for Liosia. Hachiman gave her floral print Kimono to wear.

Lion-o loved Liosia dearly she became his whole world. He sang to her at night and rocked her to sleep.

The other Thundercats helped out with the cared she was so cute. She was pretty easy to care for. She was sweet as sugar.

Liosia was growing quickly. Snarf was giving her a bath. Liosia giggled and grabbed Snarf's ear. "Okay let go," Snarf said taking his ear back.

Liosia was now eight months old. Lion-o was playing peekaboo with her. "Where's Daddy?" He said. "Peekaboo!" He said.

Liosia smiled and giggled.

Now at ten months old she was under the covers on Lion-I'd bed. She was laughing the whole time. "Come out come out wherever you are..." Lion-o said laughing.

He pulled the covers back and Liosia saw him and smiled. He picked her up. "You are my beautiful little princess." He said.

Mum-ra had been watching seeing Lion-o grow as loving and protective father. He knew the child could be his ticket to destroying the Thundercats. He was going to take her soon have mutants do it.

That night Liosia was crying the thunderstorm outside was scaring her. Lion-o picked her up and began to sing.

My sweet little princess let me show you the wonders of this place called Third earth. Seeing the everything that is just amazing. Do you see the cat signal in the sky roars now to protect all that is good. One day you'll be a leader of the Thundercats remember to have justice, honor, truth and loyalty. You will shine like the stars in the sky and you have that love so. There are friends and family who love you dearly. You're in their hearts and you're part of mine. My sweet little princess you're my little love and it's time to dream.

Liosia fell asleep to her father's melodious tenor voice.

Things were just perfect.
