"Heh... not a bad reason now that you say it...", Gwen chuckled. "He certainly looks like a Rhodes...", she leaned down to gently brush his head with her finger. "And looks so perfect too... he certainly got through it all brilliantly.".

Skyler happily smiled, "Thank you for helping to deliver your baby brother, Gwen...He's simply perfect...And to think, I only need a few months to get used to being human before being able to have this miracle...my beautiful boy...", as George kissed her lovingly.

Gwen smiled, doing the process of cutting the cord, clipping the belly button in a clean, fast flash, and Rhodes whined hungrily, with George chuckling softly as he gently took Skyler's blouse open, with her adjusting their son to her breast, suckling immediately.

George chuckled wryly, "Looks like our boy might be a bit of copycat, he sure has an appetite like you, Gwen.", and Gwen laughed warmly, "I guess he heard my happy noises of eating your amazing food, Dad.".

The small family laughed heartily and smiled as they relaxed and marveled over the new addition to their family, feeling happy and content, and even after a few hours later, George happily agreed with Skyler that Rhodes is going to be the only child for the time being as he is not alone with the other young babies around, making friends with them eventually after getting used to being a newborn and being small.

And so, the rest of the ending year was peaceful, and so for the next year as well, with Peter and Gwen graduating at last, and then the luck changed in an unfortunate way. It was late January, and the two teenagers of the family, Biva and Rajah is having a snow day from their homeschooling.

Biva is now almost 16, with Rajah almost 18, now very proficient in walking and talking and more, through he's still grasping on some things of the culture around New York City.

"I never can get used to the cold...", Rajah admitted as he and Biva were together. "It never really got that cold in Agrabah, not even at night.".

"Guess that's what we get for not living near the equator.", Biva chuckled as she got closer to him. "Need some warmth?".

Rajah smiled wryly, "Of course, Biva...I wish I had the tiger fur right now, but since we're in public, in Central Park, those layers of clothes would do it for me, yet it's cold!", wrapping an arm around Biva, "I could never thank Jasmine enough for letting me court you, my bright love...I know it's not the modern style of being, well, a boyfriend and girlfriend, but it's a familiarity for me, you know?".

"I know.", Biva smiled as she took a deep breath. "We're both still kinda trying to figure things out.". Rajah smiled softly. "More me than you at least... after all, you've got a whole childhood of experience.", he said.

Biva chuckled, "Can't argue with you there.", as they enjoyed the stroll...The day was probably very cold for not a lot of people to come out, but there are some other people who are braving the cold like some kids who are having a snowball fight...

Rajah blinked, "Does that hurt?", and Biva glanced over, shaking her head, "Not really. It's more of a wet splash of cold, and with layers of clothes, it doesn't hurt when you get hit, and it's for fun, and if you run around, throwing and all, it keeps you warm too besides the layers of clothes...".

"Can we try?", Raja asked softly, and Biva smiled, "Sure, I'll show you.", stepping off the sidewalk into the snow, with an excited giggle.

"Someone's excited.", Rajah chuckled as Biva blushed, "Well, it's been a while since I've done this... Not exactly the best idea to get into a snowball fight with a few certain adults... especially one that can throw as fast as she can fly.".

Rajah nodded, "Ah, I see your point, that's not exactly fair, though they kept it interesting for you, eh?", and Biva smiled, "Yep, they did. Mama taught me a few tricks, next to Dad.", as she scooped up snow, shaping it, rolling it into a ball, "See? The fresh, and malleable type of snow works better than any other type of snow.".

Rajah followed her example, smiling, "Okay, I think I got it now.", and Biva smiled, "And whichever is your dominant arm, the one you use the most in writing and all, use that one to throw.", before throwing her ball at a tree, splattering over the bark.

He nodded, sticking his tongue out like usual when he's figuring out things, and threw the ball, not as good as Biva, but got as close to the tree. Biva smiled, "Not bad, Rajah, you'll get the hang of it soon enough.".

Rajah smiled again, "Thanks, Biva.", and Biva smiled before smirking and threw a ball at his chest, and Rajah blinked, "That didn't hurt.", before grinning, and his eyes glinted playfully, grabbing snow, scooping it and throwing it at Biva who shrieked out in delight, running, laughing as Rajah chased her.

They laughed, chasing each other in a romp through the deeper parts of Central Park, throwing snowballs and sneaking up on each other for a half hour, and Rajah was it again, looking for Biva with a snowball in his hand, "Where are you, Biva? I know you're somewhere...", before hearing a giggle, seeing a scarf behind a tree, and smirked.

"You know... you're not really good at this hiding stuff... if this was the wild...", Rajah teased as he heard the giggle again while he walked over to where he was seeing the scarf.

He poised to throw his snowball as he turned around the tree, and his eyes widened to see no Biva, just the scarf, and yelped out in surprise when a snowball hit him in the back, and he spun around to see Biva on one of the branches in the opposite tree, giggling and laughing happily before he grinned, throwing his snowball, "Try to eat this, Biva!".

But Biva dodged fast, pouncing off the branch, and tackled Rajah with a shriek of delight, their balance tumbling them over a ridge with plenty of soft and firm snow, rolling and laughing as they tried to pin each other before they landed with a whoop, with Rajah pinning Biva, with them not noticing the grove of catnip surrounding them.

"Okay... you got me...", Biva chuckled as Rajah smiled. "When it comes to trickery, I've got you beat though...", and Rajah chuckled, "True.".

Biva then giggled, "And you were saying that I'd not be good to hide in the wild?". Rajah chuckled, "Touche.", smiling at Biva, taking a deep sigh, unknowingly breathing in the addictive air of the catnip, and he looked at Biva with an awed, loving look with a hint of desire, "You look beautiful in the snow, my bright heart...", his tiger ears appearing...

They are deeply hidden from sight as they are in the midst of the dense forest. "Rajah...", Biva blushed as he purred. "I mean it... you look so beautiful anywhere at any time...", he told her as their faces got closer to one another; the catnip obviously starting to take its hold on them.

Biva smiled bashfully as she kissed him on the lips slowly, becoming more passionate as she popped her ears and tail out, with Rajah holding her tenderly yet passionately as he kissed her back, his tail popping out, huskily breathing as the catnip was starting to cloud their minds.

As they broke away for fresh air, not realizing the catnip addiction in the air, Rajah growled lowly and playfully as he tagged Biva, becoming fully tiger, his stance playful as he bowed on his paws, and Biva growled back, leaping forward as she became fully tigress, playfully returning the bow, and the big cats then played, scuffling, tackling, and playing tag, sharing nibbles and licks on each other's cheeks and necks.

The catnip got stronger as the couple slowly stopped their playing and got more affectionate and intimate, rubbing their heads together, licking under their chins, and grooming their fur.

Several minutes later, Biva growled lowly as she walked past Rajah, rubbing her behind against a tree, and Rajah's eyes went dark with desire, lust, and love as he smelled the potent specific scent of her in heat.

Rajah was practically on the verge of jumping on her that very moment and taking her but there was still the rational part of his mind still trying to fight for the time being.

That rational part could just as well be his human presence, and he panted heavily as he saw Biva on her paws, revealing her vagina, and he growled lowly, walking closer, and rolled Biva into her back, growling in confusion and desire and excitement as Rajah chuffed softly, nuzzling her head before using his paw to hold her down as he leaned down to lick her underbelly lovingly yet roughly with his big sandpaper tongue.

Biva gave out a very loud and pleasurable purr upon the touch of his tongue; practically moaning at the sheer pleasure and excitement that was rushing through her feline body and practically begging almost to be taken by him.

Rajah purred in satisfaction to hear his soon-to-be mate's pleasure in her moaning purrs, and continued on to lick her underbelly lovingly and rough from her upper chest, all across her underbelly between her legs, and finally, he reached her vagina, taking in her deeply, wanting so badly to take her, but he still got one more trick up his leg, and he went to lick her vagina slowly while taking her tail between his legs, chuffing to her, enunciating his desire for her to flick her tail to simulate his balls.

Biva gave out a loud purr before Rajah did the same when she reciprocated his offer there as the two of them continued in their foreplay. Rational instinct was slowly going to the wayside with each passing moment.

Moaning purrs fill the glade as Rajah licked Biva's vagina and Biva flicked her tail against Rajah's balls, simulating him to bring out his thick, muscular penis from his sheath, and after several minutes, Biva gave a loud, impatient snarl, turning over into her belly, looking over her shoulder, growling as she wiggled her vagina in his nose, and Rajah growled lowly, huskily snarling as he came over her, mounting her, licking and nibbling Biva's head.

Biva growled and purred, bringing out her claws into the ground, nuzzling Rajah's muzzle before snarling lowly, and Rajah purred, taking her scruff in his teeth as he prepared to take her as his mate.

Rajah lined himself up, ready to penetrate for a few moments before he finally thrusted forward and finally entered inside her. Biva gave out a loud roar of pleasure, feeling him inside.

Rajah growled lowly and happily as he went thrusting into her back and forward as he kept her in place, soon roaring in pleasure with his mate, the loud sounds reaching out for a few miles, with the few braving civilians looking up in confusion and surprise, figuring that it was coming from the zoo with the snow leopards, but one person knows those sounds better.

Kraven the Hunter was enjoying a few days in the state of New York, having snagged a couple of elk a week ago in Maine, and he glanced at his minions, "Get the equipment. The big cat tranquilizers. Follow my tracks when you come back, clear?".

His minions nodded, "Yes, sir!", and Kraven went to pinpoint the sounds of mating, realizing that it's a tigress in heat, with a tiger obviously taking her...

He quietly tracked down, scoffing at the humans messing up the pristine scent as he got closer, putting up his binoculars, seeing a prime specimen of a Indian Bengal tiger, and he zoomed his binoculars, and his breath caught as the tigress underneath the perfectly primed tiger is not a Indian breed, nor a Chinese breed, but rather a Siberian white tigress...Prime age physically, looks like, yet probably her first heat.

He knew there are no tigers at all in the zoo, and he figured that they must have escaped from somewhere in the city, maybe a black-market fiasco gone wrong, and wound up here in the park, especially if they were taught to be stealthier than in the wild, it's probably why they haven't been caught with this cloudy, cold day scaring most people back to warm houses.

"Hmm...", Kraven whispered to himself, obviously thinking of what plans he had for these two. Certainly, two major ones... either getting rich or wondering if they might be a worthy hunt, thought the latter was more unlikely considering their lack of stealth.

The tiger couple was obvious to the spying of Kraven as they kept roaring in pleasure, with Rajah grooming his mate in between roars as he thrusted harder, and Biva snarled at him, growling, and Rajah moved in deeper, obeying his mate's orders, and thrusted faster as he bit her scruff roughly, roaring even louder in pleasure.

Kraven was surprised to see the tigress not pushing the tiger off when she looked like she had enough, yet perhaps the fact that they are the only ones in the area without any rivals, it could make sense why the tigress is not as aggressive toward the tiger in retrospect.

He heard the faint crunch behind him, and turned, hissing quietly, "You got the stuff?", looking at his minions, and one of them handed him the tiger tranquilizer as the other minion used the binoculars, gaping in shock, whispering in awe to his minion friend, "Blimey, a white tigress! Almost didn't see her against the snow...A real-life Bengal Indian tiger...Damn, they're really going at it...".

"Yeah...", Kraven said. "Should we let them finish?", the other man asked as he nodded, "Let them exhaust themselves... then we'll take them with ease. They'll not put up any resistance.".

His minions nodded as Kraven quietly prepared his gun, resting it, close enough to grab it at a moment's notice when it's time.

Rajah and Biva kept roaring in pleasure as Biva clenched her claws in the snow, snarling at Rajah, and he chuffed, his paws covering her paws as he moved deeper, now full to the hilt, and thrusted harder and faster, with Biva roaring loudly.

After a few minutes, Rajah gave out a deeply loud roar that emanated through the air and almost rattling the nearby humans' ears as he came, biting his mate's scruff hard as she roared similarly, having her biggest and first orgasm ever as she felt him filling her womb over the limit.

The first minion whispered to his other minion friend, "If I hadn't seen that he's a tiger, I would have sworn that he was a lion.", and the other minion nodded, "No wonder why. He's a prime adult there. He's damn lucky.".

Kraven replied, "And it's my turn to be damn lucky.", waiting for the perfect moment for their exhaustion to seep in their bones as Biva and Rajah stayed locked for a bit, still drugged by the catnip before Rajah came free of her, and Biva twisted around, growling and nuzzling and licking under his chin.

Rajah purred, headbutting her, and rubbed his scent over her as he nuzzled her, and Biva purred as Rajah licked her under the chin, resting as they submitted to exhaustion, chuffing as they purred, falling asleep with their heads resting on each other's paws over each other, dead tired to the bone after the deeply passionate romp in the snow, not even feeling the prick of two tranquilizer shots in the rump or leg.

"Got him... now the mate...", Kraven whispered as he reloaded and aimed for Biva, like before, the shot was true and he got her, without her even really noticing.

The first minion immediately called the camouflaged truck while the second minion went with Kraven to double check that the tiger duo is completely out, unknowing that the catnip combined with the tranquilizers is making them stay in their tiger/tigress forms which is really working extremely well.

The second minion whistled in shock, "Damn, the male is big...Probably four men to carry him to the first cage, sir.".

"Well then, get the men needed and let's hurry and get them out of here before those who are looking for them or any authorities come snooping around. They'll be on the Red Eye to Africa before the day is done...", Kraven said.

His minion nodded, "Yes, sir!", running to the truck that came at last, passing the word to the second minion, with the truck opening out with other people coming out of the back and such, and indeed, like Kraven said, the entire squad went fast, rolling each one of the tiger duo into blankets and carried them to the cages in the back of the truck, with most of the squad back to secure the cages and sitting around on the sides to watch any stirring of the tigers, with Kraven at the window slider between the front and back, with the minions driving, poised with his gun set again.

Luckily, the incoming night traffic wasn't too bad with the winter day having most people indoors, and they reached a hardly used airport in Long Island, where Kraven's all pre-fueled plane, the Red Eye is awaiting.

With swiftness and bribes, Kraven and some of his people loaded the cages in the plane, and the tigers didn't even stir once, clearly conked out, and before long, the plane was in the air, straight for Africa, and Kraken checked the time, glancing at his pocket watch, "A new record, boys. Two hours in and out.", and his men cheered, jeering and laughing.
