Nomis watched the two cubs scamper off, and rested her chin on her paws. Maybe later today she'd go back to her secret place. But not until later. She figured it would be a good idea to at least say hello to the newcomers when they returned.

((*Decides to go ahead and do the time skip while she has a good idea in her mind*))
Night fell upon the pride lands almost as quickly as the wind came and went. By the moon it was very early morning and the sun had more than a few hours before it would peek it's head up in the eastern sky. The queen of the pride, Adia, lay sleeping a top the prides cave. Her usual bed though was inside the cave she had come out to look at the stars and fallen asleep.
Settled in a tree near by the bright pink and green bird Zeeza was watching Adia closely. The queen where she lay was breathing heavily and fidgeting while she called out under her breath, her words being inaudible to Zeeza. Zeeza stayed silent even as Adia began to wimper and get louder. Moments later Adia threw her eyes open and threw her head up in startlement. Zeeza rustled her wings against her sides as Adia sighed and layed her head back down. "Miss Adia?"
Adia turned her head towards the tree Zeeza sat in and perked her ears up. "Zeeza?" She asked and Zeeza took off from her perch coming to land before Adia. "I had the wierdest dream." She started and Zeeza nodded motioning for her to go on. "I was fat. I think I was pregnant and I was running. I was running for the pride caves. I was in tremendous pain. I kept running but I couldn't reach the caves no matter how fast I ran. The caves just kept getting farther and farther away."
"Hmm..." Zeeza pondered on Adia's words. "Didn't you have these dreams before? Back before Daveigh and Arsenic were born?" She asked lightly fluffing up her feathers and letting them fall back into place.
"I did... It was right before I realized I was pregnant..." Adia replied and thought on it before coming to a conclusion. "You don't think..."
Zeeza nodded and a smile appeared on her beak. "I can sense these things." She said using her wing to tap her beak. "You can't see it but you glow with the maternal glow of a mother-to-be. You shine brighter than the moonlight right now."
Adia sighed and a small smile appeared on her face. "Think I should tell the family?"
"That answer is apparent Miss Adia and if I may speak out of character," Zeeza said and Adia motioned giving her the ok. "Duh!" Adia giggled and licked the beak of the bright pink bird.

Santos had been having trouble sleeping the last few nights, and tonight was no exception. He wasn't worried about it, these times came and went. He checked on his three children at the moment, watching the steady rise and fall of their chests as they breathed slowly. He watched as they would twitch slightly, probably dreaming. His prescious children...
He exited the gace at a leisurely climbing the side of the large caves to the top where he and Arsenic often sat together. The stars shone bright, showing that tonight the top of the cave had another occupent... other occupents.
Santos stepped closer to his mate, coming withen earshot right after their conversation ended, so he knew nothing. He bowed his head to Zeeza and nuzzled his mate lovingly. "Enjoying the stars, Darling?" he icey light blue eyes seemed to glow in the dark as he looked over his mate, and his pale body would have been easy to spot from miles away. But the rose stood out the most of his light features though, sparkling with the stars.

Adia startled at the appearance of her mate but hid it with a smile as she returned his loving nuzzle. "Muchly." She replied turning her gaze to the star. Zeeza greeted Santos with a bow of her head and then glanced to Adia with a smile. "I'll leave the two of you alone." She said using a tone to hint to Adia now was a perfect time to talk especially to Santos.
Spreading her wings Zeeza flew off heading for a tall tree to spend the rest of the night in. Adia watched as Zeeza left and sighed. She had of course picked up on Zeeza's hints right away. Once Zeeza was out of sight in the darkness Adia looked back at Santos and motioned for him to lay down beside her.

((Yaaaaay timeskip. domokun ))
Nomis slinked back to the pride cave, trying desperately not to be noticed. Adia was talking to someone else, so the small water cub thought she'd be bale to return to the cave unnoticed.
She had snuck off to go swimming, and time had gotten away from her. Before she knew it, the moon had risen, and only then did she start back to the cave.

Santos watched Zeeza fly off and settled himself close to Adia. She seemed to be acting.. different. What was that thing going on with her and Zeeza? He laid his head on his paws and looked at Adia from the corner of his eyes. "Is there something wrong? Something we need to talk about?... What did I do this time?" he added the last question in with a scared look in his eyes.

Adia waited till Santos was laying down. He started spilling questions right off and Adia could only smile. He almost looked scared, it was cute. When he stopped talking she nuzzled her head against his and licked his muzzle. "There is something but it's not wrong. We need to talk but you don't need to be so scared. Happy. Be happy love." She replied and layed her head down over his neck in a sort of lion hug. "I think you'll enjoy what I have to say and may even go shouting to the stars, moon and the land when I'm done."

He stares at her for a moment, wondering if she was just trying to hide the truth, or it was truely good news. She never hid the truth from him though.. Right? It had to be good news! He grinned. "Well.. what is it?"

Adia hesitated for a few moments just enjoying making Santos wait in suspense. "I hold within me the products of two lovers..." She smiled at Santos her eyes sparkling with the excitement she held. "Santos, I'm pregnant."

Santos' jaw dropped and he just stared at her for a few moments. More cubs.. They had been talking about it for a while.. but he didn't expect it this soon. "You're kidding? More cubs around the caves? That's.." He didn't even finishes his sentence before whooping with joy.

Adia couldn't help but laugh at Santos' excitement. "I told you you would shout it to the stars." She said with a smile and a sigh. "Oh Santos. I love you." Adia's words were almost a whisper but loud enough to be heard.

Santos nuzzled her for a long while. "It's news worth shouting to the stars and beyond," he smiled at her, eyes soft and loving. "No mere words could express how much I love you."

A purr rumbled deep in Adia's chest as she returned Santos' nuzzles and scooted up close to Santos. "When the sun rises we can give the news to the pride." She said while slowly rubbing her head in his dark mane. "Right now. I don't want to move."

((-waves a paw to pass through the night- ^^))
Santos had fallen asleep with Adia staring at the stars that night, but had gently nudged her off to personally get her breakfast that morning. He now returned on this sunny day, holding a baby gazelle tightly in his jaws. He looked happier than he had for a long while (which was saying a lot because he was always happy), infact, he hadn't looked this happy since the day he found out Adia was pregnant with Arsenic and Daveigh. He held his head high and proud and took powerful, yet graceful, steps up to the top of the cave. There he left the food near Adia for when she woke up and laid down next to the tree waiting for his dearest queen to awaken.

Adia awoke slowly, the scent of blood drawing her into the real world and out of her dreams. Her eyes fluttered open as she lifted her head. Blinking the sleep from her eyes she spotted the baby gazelle waiting for her. Her ears perked as she looked around, noting Santos by the tree, she smiled. Her stomach growled at her. Already the cubs were taking their toll on her appetite and her hunger was much stronger than it had been the first time. Not that she really noticed in her hunger pains, food was the prime issue then. She was quick to devour the gazelle not leaving even very manny bones as she pretty much ate them too.
