Luna smiled happily as she slowly walked along side with her family. She was allowed three supports, her mate, Adopted son, and Adopted daughter. She was so happy. She was slowly getting fatter each day, she only had tiny mood swings but not much; However, she loved eating. She looked back for a moment and smiled at her mate. She knew where she was going, to the temple.
Tiernay felt very important at the moment. He was happy to see his mom happy, and Hibana, oh she seemed over joyed. He was a little no so sure about having more siblings, even though they were not related it still made him nervous. He smiled at his mouther as she looked back at Bai.

Bai Shan was keeping a close eye on Luna; she might say she felt fine, but he was taking no chances. Not that he really had a clue what he was doing, of course, which was part of the reason why they were making this journey. He looked down at the two cubs, glad that they had been allowed to take them along, then caught the gaze of his mate - what a wonderful word that really was - and grinned back. It was good to be with family.
Hibana bounced along happily with her new family, looking at all the sights. She had no idea where they were going, but did it matter? This was going to be an adventure like all the ones Bai Shan always talked about, and she would enjoy every minute of it.
Besides, if she focused on the fun parts of this trip, she could forget about the way no one had bothered to inform her of the fact that Luna and Bai Shan were in love, much less going to have cubs together. It wasn't that she didn't particularly like the idea, although the way Bai Shan was paying way more attention to his new love than to his adorable adopted daughter was getting somewhat annoying. It was just... didn't she rate more than a passing mention? Her ears drooped slightly before the cub's usual good nature took over again and she forged on.

Luna slowed down just a bit so she was closer to Bai. "You excited hun?" She asked lovingly as she gently walked over a stick. She looked foreward again as the jungle started to get slightly more dence. "Were almost there!" Luna looked back again as she called that out. She leaned against Bai slightly trying to ease some of the pressure on her body.
Tie watched as Hibana's ears drooped just a bit. He fell back so he was walking with her and nudged her. "Whats the matter?"

"I've never been this way before, though I've heard about it," he confessed. Who hadn't? They said the goddess Zahina herself resided at the temple, though he wasn't so sure about that. But for once in his life it wasn't the seeing new things that he was looking forward to, or at least not just that. It was having other lions to share them with.
He snorted in amusement at himself - that would have sounded so corny to the lion he was just a few months ago - before automatically adjusting to provide the most support for Luna. "We'll find somewhere for you to rest when we're there."
"Ooh ooh ooh!" Hibana squealed. "We are?" She looked around excitedly, then sighed. She still couldn't see anything. Besides the jungle itself, which was interesting enough. Just a little while ago she'd caught a glimpse of this really pretty bird in the treetops above them...
Then she looked in surprise at Tiernay, already having forgotten what she had been upset about. "Hmmm? Nothing's the matter." It really was nothing. Anyway, should she have needed to be told like some clueless infant? Hibana was willing to bet Tiernay had noticed right off how weird they had been acting. But she wouldn't hold that against him. She smiled at the other cub and flicked him with her tail in a friendly sort of way. "Isn't this fun?"

"Great. I'm glad you know something about it." Luna nodded. For a female she was very strong, mentaly. She was also a strong beliver that most of the things physicaly that happened to anyone was because of mentaly, they were thinking.
"Ok Bai, if you want me to love." She nodded. Really she felt full of energy but she had to admit her paws were bothering her a bit with the extra weight.
Tiernay snorted a bit and bumped into his 'sister' "If you say so." He smiled a bit and then his face went back to the normal stone. "Yes it is, I'm so excited." He nodded and then looked foreward making sure his mom was ok.

He smiled, nodding toward Luna's swelling belly. "You do have more than yourself to think about." He still found it hard to believe he of all lions was going to have cubs - and with the most beautiful lioness in the plains, no less! He nuzzled her affectionately as they continued on. And he may have known nothing of mothers, but wasn't it better to err on the side of caution? Bai Shan wouldn't let anything happen to any of them if he could stop it.
Hibana giggled. "Yes, you sound very excited," she teased. She glanced up at the two adults, then made a comical face and nudged Tiernay at the sight of Bai Shan going all lovey-dovey over Luna again. "Honestly, there's just no living with them sometimes," the cub whispered conspiratorially. "D'you think things will go back to normal after the... you know... show up?"

Luna chuckled. "Yeah Yeah." SHe nudged him back and smiled stepping over another stick. For her first time having cubs she was doing good, as for the labor, she hoped she would be strong. She couldn't wait to get the weight off, she felt werid with it.
Tiernay laughed and listioned as she whispered. "Yeah of 'course." He nodded and looked up for a moment then leaned over to Hibana again. "However you can't be a attetioonnn hog." He stuck his tounge out and looked up again.
Luna smiled as she steped through a bush leading to the beautiful temple. "Where here."

For a moment it was all Bai Shan could do to keep from stopping and staring in wonderment. He had seen ruins of buildings in the jungle, of course, but nothing anywhere near this scale. And nothing that wasn't more than heaps of rubble with the occasional statuary. The tangled vines climbing its high walls only added to the structure's sense of rugged grandeur. Bai Shan couldn't wait to find out what treasures this mysterious temple would hold inside.
Hibana was indignant. "Attention hog? Who said anything about being an attention hog?" She huffed and flounced off ahead, pretending to be angry with him. But all that was forgotten in a twinkling as Luna announced they were at their destination. "Really?" She scampered up to join the two adults, peering through the brush with wide eyes. "Wow..." Hibana had never been anywhere like this before. It was so... big. And pretty. They were going to stay here?

Luna smiled and moved foreward and started walking, she had made this journy before helping a friend. She moved quitely. "Now If It is still like a while ago when I helped a friend here, I belive the god's already knew we were coming and we should just be able to going into a room." She did. the room she walked into was comfuly bedded it various natural but soft Items with a water fall in the middle.
Luna laided down on some beding closest to the waterfall and took a drink and sat back and relaxed a bit.
Tie kept quite not awnsering Hibana's actions. He followed his mother trying to be carful about the various things around him, not wanting to knock anything over. He floped down in the room farthest from the others.

That was good, since he hadn't seen anyone yet. It was as if this place was deserted, though somehow it looked carefully tended, Bai Shan mused as they moved through the temple. Their footsteps echoed against the stone walls. "Who did you come with?" he asked Luna quietly, the curiosity about her life before meeting him plain in his voice.
He followed her into the room, quietly marveling at the waterfall before settling down next to his mate protectively. Then he made the mistake of looking up to see what the cubs were doing - and winced as Hibana brushed against a statue in her eagerness, causing it to teeter precariously on its stand. She'd never learn...
"...Oops." She hadn't meant to do that, really. But at Bai Shan's exasperated look Hibana moved to less fragile things, batting a soft pillow thing around with her paws a bit. The tasseled fringe provided some entertainment for a while, though she quickly grew bored when all the others did was sit there. This was supposed to be an adventure!

Standing at the door, with no smell or sound the lions could detect was the temple's keeper. Long black hair flowed down her back, and she wore a modest leather traveling outfit. At her side was her trusted companion, A lion larger than any others, as jet black as she, with scars in many different places.
Seeing that the lions were settled, the girl made a little cough to get their attention. "I see that you have finally made it luna," she said with a smile. "And so close to your due date! The journey must have been tiring, so please, partake of our hospitality. There is water to drink, and food to eat. I'll move some of the more valuable items out of the room as i think they are in the way with such a large family."
With the clap of her hands, the statues and breakable glasses were removed from the room, offering instead pillows in their places. After this was done, she waved her hands as if scattering roses, and food on a platter was suddenly by the waterfall. A tiny bead of sweat rolled down her forehead after all was said, but she smiled.
"Please, make yourselves comfortable. Zahina watches over you." And with that, the girl and her lion disappeared down the hall.

Luna smiled at Bai Shan. "Her name escapes me these days, it was a long time ago."
She then turned her head to Hibana as she almost knocked over somthing. "Its ok baby." SHe smiled lightly and then sat back a bit. She was slightly surprized as the human walked into the room.
"Thank you. I am glad to make it." A large grin came across her face and looked at the lion before peering back at the human and watched as everything was moved, or placed. "Thank you very much again. This is a beautiful place." Luna looked over at the food and her stomach seemed to shift, she really was suddenly not that hungry. "You guys can eat I'm fine..."
Tiernay was surpired at the human he had never seen any before, but he threw a glance at Luna. "Ok mom." He wandered over to the food grabbing a bit and taking it back to his corner away from everyone else.

It was less than a day before Luna began to feel the labor pains. The journey must have just been on time. The human was once again at the door, ready to help if things went wrong, but she explained that things usually took their own course, and that she would only interfere if the labor had difficulties.
As it was, Luna soon had two squirming wet little cubs merrily climbing over one another to get to their mother. One boy and one girl were now added to the family. With Zahina's work there finished, the human disappeared again, to let the family to it's introductions. The girl smiled as she skipped down the hall, faithful lion at her side. Today was a good day.
((You can continue your family RP now as i'm sure everyone wants a peak at the cubs wink But when you both decide who gets what, and who's named what, please send Zahina a PM with all the information. I'll get em certed up after that. I hope you like them... panda's and decorative cats are an odd mix >.< ))

[[Dragon, would you like to talk about this over the PM's or here <3
I love the girl <3))
Luna relaxed as it was over and the girl left, she nuzzled the cubs and looked up at her mate. "They are... beautiful." Her grin was wide as she watched them squrim toward her, she licked each one of their foreheads and looked at her other children. "You to want to see."
Tie looked into the room, he left as soon as she started giving birth, not wanting to see it. He smiled as he saw the cubs and carfully moved foreward.

[[I love the boy, so that works out great then! <333]]
Bai Shan had been at his wit's end the entire time. Rushing back and forth, tripping over every object possible, trying to keep Hibana from peeking curiously into the room, wailing at his own lack of experience despite the calm presence of the girl and her lion shadow... It was certainly a good thing he wasn't the one giving birth, because as it was he must have exerted nearly as much energy as Luna did.
But then it was over, and he instantly fell in love all over again. "I... I..." Luna had said it all. How could two such beautiful cubs be his?
This really was no fun. Luna had suddenly said the cubs were coming, and in short order Hibana had been hustled out of the room by her father to wait impatiently in the corridor. She had no idea what was going on, except that it somehow involved the pretty lady - and Luna making lots of painful-sounding noises. Until suddenly the noises stopped; she couldn't hear the sound of Bai Shan pacing or Luna's heavy breathing anymore, and was about to take a cautious look when black-haired girl and lion left the room. "Yes!" she said excitedly to Luna's question, and rushed in. Then...
"Wow..." she breathed softly, suddenly afraid that a loud noise would break the spell. The pretty lady must have spent a long time finding cubs that looked so much like her parents. When had she ever been that tiny?
