			             Though she found herself unexpectedly nervous, Rahali was quite content. After years of living mostly on her own she had finally found a small place she could settle in and family to call her own. Maybe. If luck had it Adonis’s parents would be just as easily swayed as he was and she’d be welcomed into the family warmly. Hopefully. She found it hard to believe that with a child like him they could be anything but friendly.
 
 She trailed slightly behind him out of a mixture of respect, nerves and the lack of knowledge regarding their destination. A small part of her wondered if she was getting in over her head but she brushed it away. Opportunities like this didn’t come around all the time, she was fortunate to have stumbled upon him.
 
 It seemed like her life was finally falling into that perfect place she’d always wanted it to be in. With the addition of a vain and slightly self-centred lion, but she was sure he meant well and he was kind. At least he wasn’t mean or particularly unpleasant. "Are we almost there?"

			            [Insert Adonis here] 
 The big male walked in front of her, not consciously.. But she was walking rather slowly, as if she was reluctant to go. He felt bad, almost like he was pressuring her.. But along the way back, he had given her a chance to turn and leave..She had chosen to stay.
 
 He smiled brightly, looking behind her with a gleam to his eyes. They werent far now, he never wandered too far. He was quite happy in the den his mother had found to raise him, though he had begun to start looking for a den close to them.
 With a mate, he would have to leave. Find a new den and start a family. Hopefully a large family that he could eventually sway into his way of thinking.
 He hoped for cubs, though really he wasnt sure if it was for the impact he could have on a new set of lives...Or if it was because he truly wanted little ones to love.
 
 He stalled, hesititating as he waited for her to catch up.
 
 They merely had to walk behind the large rock he had stopped at, and he knew his family would be on the other side.
 They always were.
 
 "Are you ready?"
 He smiled brightly.

			            “Of course I am.” She replied, looking at the rock suspiciously. She took a deep breath and walked closer to him, an unconscious reaction. Understandably she was nervous; it wasn’t everyday you had to meet your mate’s parents. “They are… friendly, right?” She asked uncertainly, looking up at him for confirmation. “They’ll like me?”
 
 She shook her head at herself, she sounded like a child! “No, of course they’ll like me. Well, come on, let’s go!” With more determination this time she stepped forward, starting towards the rock she assumed they lived behind. Once she was close she stopped and looked back at him.

 The female basked in the sun, her belly large with cubs. She had been feeling rather lazy lately, though it made it no different from any other day. Her body was larger this time. She was more capable of carrying these cubs than her petite little frame had been last time.
 She was expecting the litter with Caelan, the big male who she had fallen so head over heels for from the beginning.
 
 She yawned, her pink tongue curling from her maw as her lily white fangs were exposed in all their glory.
 She had rather enjoyed this pregnancy, though her belly felt more bloated this time around, and she had been having a harder time keeping down all her foods there for awhile.
 She looked over to her red maned man, and smiled a bit.
 Heaving herself off the earth, she began to walk towards him, but her eyes turned a bit worried as she looked around them.
 
 "Cae, have you seen Adonis lately?"
 He had been missing for a little while, and though he was always true to return home, she couldnt help but worry.
 ____
 
 The male beamed, nuzzling into her and smiling at her as he let a purr escape his throat.
 "Why of course."
 He nodded, and hoped he was reassuring.
 
 "My family, couldnt be judgemental if they tried. Theyre.. rather fluffy lions."
 He said with a chuckle.
 Of course, he didnt see just how fluffy he seemed to be either.

			            "Eh?"
 Caelan's concern for himself and the world around him was a rather simple one to scale.  For a while, he had been his first and foremost concern, but when the petite little female sauntered her way into his life - complete with cub - he found that he took a step down on the priority list.  Now, it was something like 1) his family 2) himself 3) his appearance 4) everything else.  Now, food and shelter came under 4, of course, and since they had their own cave and had just eaten that morning, he was taking some time out for self: specifically, grooming.  Caelan must've groomed himself more than any other lion...or at least, it seemed that way.  He had to keep himself looking his best, of course.
 
 Picking his head up and glancing over his shoulder at Nyxie, he paused to think (legs astride, of course.  decency was not one of caelan's fortes).  He hadn't seen the boy in a while, that was true.  Well, he wasn't really a boy anymore.  He was just as big as he was...well, admittedly bigger.  Caelan still had the same sleek, muscular frame he had when Nyxie met him.
 
 "Oh, don't worry yerself, hon."  Straightening himself out, he leaned himself forward enough to gently bump his head against her own.  He wasn't concerned in the slightest, but he knew a reassuring nuzzle and a few words would put his mate's mind at ease.  "He's a boy.  Boys wander.  He'll be back before y'know it."

			            Rahali return his nuzzle affectionately. She had become quite determined that she would eventually love her mate. Not just tolerate him, love him for him. She just had to get used to the idea of it. “Fluffy lions, huh?” She murmured to herself, shaking her head in amusement. Now more confident, she seemed to be about to face a den full of Adonis’, she relaxed. This she could handle.
 “Well, you’re going in first, right? I’d rather not waltz into a den full of strange lions. They might just swat me.” She asked, knocking her body into his lightly to coax him forward.

			             Nyxie blinked a bit, not wanting to believe that he could be hurt. It was probably for the best that she think he would return to her. With a soft smile, she nodded, and nuzzled into his shoulder to show her affection.
 "What would I do without you." She purred, her eyes looking at him with complete adoration. She was happy to have the babies stirring in her belly this time..This wasnt like last time. She hadnt been tricked. She was in love.
 Yet, she hadn't told Caelan yet, and she wasnt sure when she wanted.
 
 They had always talked about cubs, but she had a feeling he would be rather put off by the idea so soon.

 He smiled, and licked her cheek while chuckling.
 "Aw your innocence..."
 He mused with a wink and began moving forward.
 
 "Theyd never swat you, but yes, I shall go first. They'll likely wonder where I went off to."
 He added, before turning back to face the forward direction.
 
 "Oh Maaaaaa."
