chapter 4

Lion-o and Liosia were very happy and well loved by the people of New Thundera. Olin and his wife would sometimes visit. Many of the council thought Olin now had high favor with Lion-o because he was married to Olin's daughter. "Now I am not playing favorites, Olin is visiting because Liosia is his daughter and now I am family to him because Liosia and I are married," Lion-o said. "Don't think I am playing favorites alright," he said.

Liosia was hurt that the council thought Lion-o was playing favorites in the council.

The council continued to try to curry favor with Lion-o as was the custom with the lord of the Thundercats.

Lion-o and Liosia were very happy together. They were so much in love.

They loved to work with other planets and make peace between them. Everything was going well especially after making peace with the Canisis. Now everyone was hoping that Lion-o and Liosia would soon have a child.

The other Thundercats had children. Liosia loved to play with them very much they were just so cute. Soon Liosia began to want a child of her own. "Lion-o I think it's time for us to start thinking of starting a family," Liosia said.

"You mean have a baby?" Lion-o asked.

"Yes," Liosia said.

"Well I think it's about time too," Lion-o said.

So Lion-o and Liosia started to plan on having a baby.

Then one morning about three months down the road she was feeling a little different. Pumyra took a look. "Congratulations Liosia you're pregnant," Pumyra said.

"This is wonderful," Liosia said.

Liosia found Lion-o sitting in his throne relaxing. She came up to him and kissed him. "Wow what's got you in such a good mood?" Lion-o asked.

"Pumyra finished my check up and told me the best news ever," Liosia said. "Lion-o I'm pregnant," she said.

"This the best news ever!" Lion-o said as he picked her up and spun around.

"Hey what's with all the excitement?" Olin asked.

"Dad," Liosia said.

"Hello Olin," Lion-o said putting Liosia down.

"Dad I have some great news." Liosia said.

"What is it sweetie?" Olin asked.

"I'm pregnant," Liosia said.

"I'm going to be a grandpa!" Olin said. "This is great news," he said.

Lion-o told the other Thundercats and they were so happy to hear it. They began to make plans on the nursery with Lion-o and Panthro was making a crib. Lion-o was going to make an announcement.

"People of New Thundera I have wonderful news, my wife Liosia is pregnant," Lion-o announced.

The people of new Thundera cheered they were so excited. They were looking forward to the royal birth.

Liosia was busy now making soft baby blankets. While her mother was making booties. Lion-o was content at the thought of becoming a father. Lion-o picked out a plush baby toy elephant. It was so cute.

Lion-o and Liosia were looking forward to meeting their baby.

Panthro had just finish the bassinet and crib. Tygra had just finished the nursery. Bengali made the baby monitor. Things were all good. Soon the new baby would be born.

Everyone was looking forward to it.

Liosia was busy sewing a blanket and humming then she felt it. It was a kick. She smiled her little one was starting to move. "Lion-o," she called.

"Is everything alright?" Lion-o asked.

"Yes, the baby kicked." Liosia said.

"Really?" Lion-o asked.

"Yes," Liosia said. "Do you want to feel?" she asked.

"Yes," Lion-o said then placed his hand on Liosia's belly. Sure enough he felt a kick. "Wow looks like it's doing okay," he said.

"I think so too," Liosia said.

Then the baby kicked again. "Ow, kicked a bit hard that time," Liosia said.

"Go easy on your mother little one I know you want to come out but you have a few more months to wait," Lion-o said.

"Oh you can be so silly," Liosia said.

"I love you," Lion-o said.

"I love you too," Liosia said.

Then a few months passed and that day had arrived on a warm summer night. Lion-o was pacing he was really worried it had been hours. Then they heard crying. Lion-o looked at the door.

"Lion-o it's a girl!" Pumyra said.

"I have a daughter?' Lion-o asked excitedly.

"Yes, she's very healthy," Pumyra said.

"What about Liosia is she alright?" Lion-o asked.

"She's fine, just tired," Pumyra said.

"Can I see my daughter?" Lion-o asked.

"Of course you can." Pumyra said.

Lion-o came into the room and saw Liosia holding the baby. Lion-o came up to her. They smiled at the baby and Liosia pulled the blanket back revealing a white lion the first of her kind. "She amazing," Lion-o said.

"Yes she is," Liosia said.

"This is a first for Thundera a princess and a white lion, this will be one for the history books," the record keeper said.

"Let's name her Lislia," Lion-o said.

"That's a perfect name," Liosia said.

Lion-o made the announcement. "People of New Thundera I am happy to announce that last night a princess has been born and she is the first ever white lion her name is Lislia. This is a couple of firsts for New Thundera a princess and a white lion this will be a day to remember!" Lion-o said.

The crowd cheered. "Long live princess Lislia!" the crowd chanted.

Lion-o and Liosia decided to hold a party when Lislia would be at least six months old and so she would be much bigger and stronger and not as small and delicate.

This was a wonderful day.
