Poza had been very happy for a while, since starting her trip with her handsom male companion actually. But she had new reason to be happy, she just wasn't sure when to tell him.
She was with cub! She'd never been a mother before, so it was a bit of a new experience and had her very nervous. She'd decided though that today would be the day she could tell him the amazing news.

Afiya was never very hard to find despite the fact that his fur matched his surroundings very well he was far too large to acctually hide at home. he dwarfed every cheetah in his family and even Poza was small to him. he was glad that she had come back with him. It was nice to have a female his own age to talk to. His youngest siblings were fun but really he couldn't speak seriously to them. they were full of pixiedust and play which was great but not really suited for his needs.
He lay today as usual watching over the lands for anyone coming, lions leopards, anything that might endanger his family unit. His head turned though when he heard approaching cheetah paws, eh half expected it to be his mother but instead the tan and gold female approached him. "Hi, i was just thinking about you." He chuckles and gives a roguish wink. "It's nice to have a girl around I can talk to about things, my brothers are pretty damn useless at it."

Poza grinned at him and laughed. "I bet you're always thinking about me anyways." She teased, beaming at him. The only problem was figuring out how to exactly tell him the good news!
She laughed at his next words and grinned at him, moving beside him and rubbing against his side as he said that. "Are they? Well since you like talking to me so much I have something new to talk about!" Perfect.

Smiling lightly at the golden cheetahress the big male tilted his head curiously. "Oh? Well at least it's something to make my day more interesting. See this is why I wander around it gets kinda boreing just living at home all the time it's such a quiet place." He yawned a little and scrtched behind one ear with a back paw "So whats the sitch?" He smiles his tail swyaing, his mind completely oblivious to what the little female was about to tell him.

She smiled because she felt it was going rather well, Afiya seemed interested. She wouldn't take him to be the completely serious father type, but she also would never take him for someone who would run off. That was why she felt comfortable telling him right away.
"I'm pregnant." She beamed, just dropping the bomb as if it was nothing.

Afiya yawned lightly as he lifted a back paw to scratch at his ear. His paw stopped almost instantly though when she dropped the bomb which echoed in his ears. "What?" he raised a brow tilting his head his back paw slowly drifting to the ground.
"You found a guy round here then?" He smirks. "You met Moyo didn't ye? I swear my brother is a charmer." he chuckled lightly, he was perfectly serious. He didn't consider himself to be any sort of father and well, he didn't love Poza, he liked her sure but, he didn't love her the way his mother and step father loved each other.

Poza easily grew attached to others, wether she loved him or not was a different matter, and when she heard Afiya's words her heart sank. Her throat felt crushed, as if she could not say anything else in response.
She stared at him with wide, unbelieving eyed. Hadn't he remembered the night they'd lain together? Just before getting to the lands... how could he think... oh... oh... oh she did not know what to think any more!
Was she being a fool? She tried to force a smile back onto her maw, pushing forward a chuckle that did not sound full of joy and mirth, "No, I haven't met your brothers." She said, though her voice cracked near the end and her face was pained.
Perhaps he just misunderstood? He'd be happy for this... wouldn't he? "Afiya... You're the only male I know around here." She tried to explain, calming down a little.

Afiya watched her quietly tilting his head quitly his golden eyes looking her over. He licked his pale tan lips and cleared his throat and made a squeeking noise as he pulled air through his teeth.
Finally clearing his troat with a cough he gave a quick nod and smiled softly. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you Poza." His ears flattened against his head and he lifted a paw to nudge her chin up. "I'm a bit of a dope when it comes to these things yanno?" he rolled his thick set shoulders and took a deep cleansing breath.
"So, it's mine then? You sure you didn't just run in to Akilli? He looks alot like me." He tilted his golden tan head a brow raised, he didn't know how to feel. He didn't know if he loved Poza, he didn't even know what love was and here she was telling him she was pregnant. He felt confused and baffled. Should he feel happy though? He was going to be a father after all.
"Just me huh? Guess that makes me a dad -to -be then huh?" he trailed off, what else could he say to her?

He could say that again! He really was being a dope and Poza found her hurt being replaced with anger. Had he really just asked a second time if it was Akilli? Oh what a rotten thing to do! How foolish was she being? She shouldn't have expected so much from him... oh what a fool she was when it came to males!
She sat there staring at him, eyes slightly narrowed. Well, perhaps she was so pissy because she was pregnant, but boy she could be scary when she wanted to. She didn't say a word, not one word.
Well, for a full minute or two anyways. "Guess that makes me a dad-to-be then?" She repeated, slowly and with an edge to her voice that said these were the exact wrong words for him to say. Well, honestly it had been the tone he'd said it in.
"You're rotten Afiya!" She growled, getting to all fours again. How could he? He was supposed to be happy! Excited and thrilled!

Afiya's jaw dropped and he flicked his tail a few times. He was baffled, why was she mad at him? It wasn't his fault she was pregnant. Well okay it was half his fault. "Hey don't be mad at me you were there too you know." He sighs heavily walking around Poza so he could see her eyes.
"What do you want me to say to you Poza hmm? I mean, you can't possibly love me, we're not a couple like my mother and Korou, we had one evening of fun and it came down to this, now I am sorry that you're mad about it but I can't do anything about the situation now can I?"
Turning away from her then he walked a few steps away from her. "Look stay here and be grouchy okay? I'm going to talk to my mother, she'll know what to do." He quipped taking a few steps away. Truthfully, he wasn't going to see his mother, he was going. His mind span with questions, most of them centered around the question of if he loved the golden cheetahress or not. How could they have a child and not love each other? It was against everything he beleived in, everything his mother taught him.
Confusion reined in his mind and all he wanted to do was run as fast as he could in what ever direction his paws would take him!

Oh he was an idiot! He didn't even realize why she was mad. Typical.
"No you're right, I don't love you." She spat out angrily, but it was true. She didn't love Afiya but she very much had enjoyed her time with him and well... oh god what was she thinking? Just because she was having cubs fathered by him did not mean they'd stick together, did not mean it would bring them closer... but it wasn't like it was something they'd done on purpos!
Stay here and be grouchy? Oh he was wicked! She started to stalk off in the oppiste direction. "Don't tell me what to do." She threw the words over her shoulder, very much hurt. "Good, you go chat with your mother because you certainly are clueless!" Her tail was lashing behind her, things couldn't have gone any worse than they just had.

Afiya rolled his eyes and let a low growl roll over his lips. Women! What did she expect him to do? Sure he liked the girl but this situation wasn't only his fault. It wasn't like that night hadn't been consensual. Bah a little fun could go a long way in ruining a friendship.
"Do what you want then Poza, just be careful, just because you know we arn't together doesn't mean I want you or our kid to get hurt." He rolled his shoulders uncomfrotably, he felt awquard saying that. His kid? It almost made him baulk, he felt sick and almost frightened. He'd never felt frightened in his life.
Shaking his head he started to pad away from her putting distance between the two of them. He wanted to run, just run and find a small hole to crawl in to and hide from this news that Poza had presented him, but he wanted to seem to be calmly walking away. At least until she was out of sight then he would bolt, he would run until he couldn't run any more.

When he was out of her eyesight, (she'd glanced back to make sure), she dropped back down to a laying postion, curling up tightly herself. She could feel the dampness on her cheeks which certainly meant the tears had come.
What was she supposed to do? Now she had Afiya mad at her, which he had no right to be, and she was mad at him in a foreign territory with no friends to turn to. This was all horrible!
She shut her eyes tight and took deep, even breaths. She was trying to fall asleep, perhaps she could play this off as a bad dream when she woke up next.

His paws raced out over the lands he knew his ears held perked forwards. The large golden male would run and run until the home he knew was far behind him. He had to escape from the fear, from the anger in Pozas eyes.
He just didn't know what to do. He needed time.
