Santos kept his head high as he looked down at Amador. "Ama was what you did proper behavior?" he waited for an answer, frown plastered on his muzzle.
Razi snickered at his brother as he crawled out of the cave into the sunlight, stretching once more. "I guess I have to be awake now..Hey where's Dav?"
Nimbus saw that Aquos noticed him and gave him a thankful look for not saying anything. Thelast thing he needed his parents to know was that he was sneaking out.

Amador looked fearful. In his rambuncious attempt to wake everyone he had not realized what he had done. "I was just trying to wake everyone up."
Adia looked back over her shoulder at her son. "I don't know honey. She's probably already out patroling."
In all truth Daveigh was not even within the prides boundaries or anywhere near them for that matter. She was off in Anu's pride and had yet to return to check in.

Santos shook his head. "You don't need to wake anyone up, they can wake up on their own wills. You only need to worry about you. What you did was not acceptable and you hurt others, including your mother," it was amazing how stern his voice could get when he was angry, it even shocked himself sometimes.
Razi looked around and shrugged. "Eh, I'll see her later.."

Naida walked slowly to the entrance to where Adia and Santos slept, yawning. She watched the scene for a moment, exhaustion obvious on her face as she felt the new life kicking at her, telling her there'd be no sleep today either. She wondered when she should break the news...
Sienna, oblivious to everything since she was curled up in Aquos's mane, slept on.

Amador could feel tears welling up in his eyes. He hadn't meant to hurt anyone and his fathers tore through him like a knife. He couldn't even speak now or the tears threatening to fall would come like a waterfall.
Adia could hear Santos inside with Amador. His voice was almost as painful to listen to as the sharp pains still racking her stomach. Amador had stepped on something tender in his bounding. "Razi love. Come sit with me will you?"

Aquos carefully laid down himself, as not to wake up Sienna. He could sware his mane was her new favroit place to be...Not that he mind at all.

Naida walked outside, nuzzling her mate, deciding that perhaps a morning sunning would calm the critters inside down. Laying down carefully by Adia, she chuckled, "It just never ends, huh?"
Just then Samara landed by Naida, to give her news of her son that she'd asked for. Having not much new to report, she looked over the water lioness and commented in her usual manner, "You should tell them, you know."
Naida simply sighed, laying her head on her paws. "Yeah, I know...I will, Samara, don't worry. I'm sure you told Yukio and Yiska, right?"
Samara preened her feathers before replying, "Of course, they deserved to know at least. I told them as soon as I discovered it....they've known quite awhile. You do realize it's pretty obvious..."

Santos looked down at Amador for a moment before stepping past him. "Come on, you needto apologize at least to your mother, if not the whole pride," he waited for a moment to see if he would follow, and stepped slowly out into the sunlight.
Razi nodded and bounded over to his mother, curling up between her paws. "You okay Mom?"
Arsenic twitched at how stern and powerful his father's voice was. He was definately not happy. He stretched, arching his back, and began to head out the cave and stopped at seeing Naida. "You're pregnant?" he whispered carefully. He knew his mother probably already knew, but he just now took the time to notice.

Adia smiled down at Razi and nodded before nuzzling her son. "I'm fine Razi love." She replied before looking over to Naida. "Samara's right Naida. Unlike the more observant eh... lionesses the rest of the pride has gone unnoticed to your changes." Adia knew, after having been pregnant twice before herself when another lioness was around and was pregnant she noticed it.
Amador followed with his head down and his whole body slouched. He was trully crying now but whether it was from his fathers anger or knowing he'd hurt his mother was unknown.

Naida chuckled, nodding affirmitve to Arsenic's question, motioning Samara silent. "Just never told anyone since I didn't know if it was the right time," she merely replied as she looked up at Adia. "Now, I don't honestly think it'll be long before they're born. I'm surprised it's not obvious to them yet, honestly, what with my sneaking out to go sleep in the lake half the time...perhaps would be a good a time as any to tell them, huh?"

Aquos overheard Naida and Adia talking and got up, trying to stir Sienna from her slumber. "All righty you, up time. Your mom is going to tell you something." he said to Sienna as he walked over to the group.

Arsenic nodded in agreement. "Indeed. Everyone's been a bit busy, that's why it took me a while to figure it out. But yes, please tell everyone."
Santos lead Amador to stand infront of Adia and pulled him around infront of him. "Your son has something to tell you," he tilted his head, waiting for this all to be over.

Adia nodded to Naida before Santos stood in front of her with their son. Adia glanced up at Santos an unpleased expression on her face as she knew what was about to happen and fairly didn't want to hear it. Looking down at Amador she pulled him into her paws immediately and clung to him and Razi.
Amador cried into his mothers chest. "Mommy I didn't mean to hurt you! I'm sorry!"
Adia hushed him immediately. "You did not hurt me Ama love. You could never hurt me." She said lying partially. He had hurt her but to see her cub cry over her was unacceptable. Seeing any of her cubs cry because of her hurt to the core. The one time she had seen Arsenic cry because of her had almost sent her running to crocadile infested waters. She couldn't stand seeing another of her cubs cry because of her.

Sienna yawned, stretching before putting her front paws on Aquos's head as she took in his words. "I hope she's not going to announce she's sending me away..." she said, a frown deeply creased on her muzzle, thinking of when she told her daughters of her plan to take Yukio to live with Yiska.
Naida watched the scene quietly before speaking up, hoping this might help diffuse the situation, and also take Ama's mind off what had happened and give him a new direction to take his energy. "Ama, you're parents are going to need you to be strong and be a good example of what a Prince of the Rose Petal pride should act like, because there will be younger cubs among us soon. They're going to need you to show them how to behave and the like...think you can help me with that?" She looked up at Sienna, who was giving her mother a curious look. Smiling, she sat up and said, "Aquos...Sienna...can you gather everyone around? I have an announcement to make." She waited a few moments more as Sienna hopped off to make sure everyone was out of the cave and together to hear it. Nuzzling Karounos, she took a breath and said, "I'm sorry this announcement is so long in coming, it just never felt like the right time to say anything so I kept it to myself, and for that I apologize to you all. The fact of the matter is that, indeed, more cubs will be here soon, as I am pregnant, and it will not be long before they are here. Samara told Yiska and Yukio as soon as she found out, so...well, now everyone knows." She hoped no one would be upset with her keeping this quiet for so long...
At this point in time, Sienna squealed and jumped around, chanting, "I'm going to be a big sister, I'm going to be a big sister..."

Karounos smiled widely and nuzzled Naida, "Ah, cubs!" He purred, "We're goin' ta be parents of even more now!"
Nomis was sitting a top the cave, only listening in - had they thought she had run off to her paradise again? She debated running there now - no one had seeked her out for the news of her family - but instead padded down to the gathering and snuck between her father's front paws, "We're going to have more siblings?"
