Kiarra had always enjoyed the first light of morning,it was the first sign of receding darkness. Though she adored to sleep and truly despised waking up, the view of the morning sky and such magnificent colors always made it worth it. She usually cheated; watched the sunrise then caught another hour or so of sleep, but lately she’d been missing them entirely.
Her nights had been spent waiting to perhaps bump into Montgomery, she had on occasion, though the busy nights had left her to sleep her days away come morning.
But, this wasn’t any other morning though.
The new day’s sounds beckoned her to wake, to rise and see the day in all its beauty, yet she remained still. Her eyes began to open; her first sight was that of Montgomery’s face, peaceful and dreamy.
She smiled warmly at herself, recalling the night’s events that had come to past.
Her ankle still pained from their exploration a day prior. She slithered away from beneath Monty’s embrace, careful not to make a sound; she was thirsty and would return momentarily, no need to wake him.
The morning dew crush beneath her paws, seeming to greet every step with a vibrant freshness,…She missed her mornings. She was lucky today though; the night still had its grip on the sun, holding a cloak of shade over everything.
She walked a distance away towards her favorite viewing spot; there was a large tree with drooping branches and vertical leaf-like vines, when underneath the tree they served somewhat as a curtain, shading her from the world as she waited for the suns greeting. A broken branch facing the water had failed to produce any vines or leaves, leaving an ‘open window’ for viewing while she sat in the comfort of the trees protective limbs.
This place was sacred to her, ever since she first found it; it’s been where she did her most critical thinking.
The yellow orb began to rise, the tip just barely shinning above the tree top. Kiarra looked away, lying down as she began to think of what she would do for the day. It would be so odd now, to have someone by her side. Would he accept her and every one of her faults?
She looked up, streaks of red began to crisp the tip of the clouds.
‘Monty deserves a lady… Someone perfect and polite..’ She sighed, glancing at the sky once more; orange had followed close behind, highlighting the reflection on the water.
She was far from anything perfect…clumsy and odd, she felt as though she stuck out horrendously. Her heart sank, though the sky grew brighter.
Slowly, finished her ‘drink’ and began to head back towards her waiting lover. With a heavy heart and an aching body, the skies above seemed to mock her grey mood.

Montgomery cracked an eye very slightly when Kiarra moved, then slowly eased it shut again. There was no reason to make her think she had awakened him, though he had been awake for a few minutes anyway, just laying there and soaking in the feeling of his new love against his side. Memories of the past night floated through his newly-awakened mind, bringing a warm smile to his face.
He heard Kiarra slowly slip off, probably heading off for a drink and a stretch, he thought, and murred quietly, sliding himself over to the spot where she had been laying, her smell still hanging in the air like an intoxicating fog. He still could not believe that she had actually accepted his profession of his love for her, although his mind had recorded the event seemingly in crystal clarity. It was just too good to be true, she was so perfect, and loved him of all people! Drab-coloured, uninteresting him!
He purred quietly as he laid half between sleep and waking, he had to be the luckiest B'alam alive.

A few of the early morning rays had followed her back, lighting her path almost. She sat near Monty's feet, her back to him, as she let the rays warm her body. The aches and pains of kinked muscles seemed to melt like ice under the warming rays.
Her eyes stared off in the distance; Two small deer, a doe an fawn, had just finished having a drink across the running water, and now found themselves making their was into the deep underbrush once more. Before slipping into the vegetative cover, the fawn stopped and stared across at Kiarra, snorting softly before disappearing.
She watched them, the ghosts of the jungle; deer were so silent...So careful and easily alarmed. Kiarra was yet to hunt one successfully; many failed attempts had left them as equals in her eyes. Even this morning, the doe seemed to convey 'I'm here. I see you and I know your watching me', a cocky attitude for any prey item to ever have...There was just something about them that she loved.
As much as she wanted to stalk her way towards them, her ankle begged to differ…Besides, the doe had a young baby…Her consciences always got the better of her.
Smiling, she nodded her silent ‘defeat’ to the shadows in the distance ahead and looked over her shoulder to watch her sleeping Monty.
Her eyes swept over him; complete perfection. A purr rose from her throat as she crawled over the napping cat, lowering her head and gently caressing his face before snuggling in close to his arms, "Good morning..." She whispered softly in his ear.

Montgomery opened an eye again, slowly, a lazy smile on his face. "Good morning, love." He wiggled over slightly to snuggle against her side and wrapped his arms around her. "You looked so pensive there a moment ago, what were you thinking of?" He purred softly, licking the back of her neck, "I think you're even more beautiful in the sunrise, it shows your fur off so nicely."
He smiled and lay there, pressed against her side, feeling her warmth and her heartbeat through his own chest. He could never remember a time when he had been happier than this, nestled against the most perfect female in existence. His mind was pratically sparkling with ideas this morning, and he decided that a good way to start would be to catch breakfast for his mate... That could wait a moment, he decided, licking her neck again.

Her arms had been restrained in his caress though she didnt struggle; She melted. "I Think of everything..." She said in a soft, truthfull tone. "Theres always something racing in this little skull of mine.." She laughed, "I really don't think I ever stop...." distracted by her own words, She re-thought about it for a momment... Her smile faded away as her gaze lowered back to his bright eyes, "I guess the only time my head ever gets a break is when my hearts working overtime..." She looked innocent and pure, her large eyes batted softly as she offered a sympathetic smile to her heart.
"I Guess I just missed thinking clearly.." She added as she loosely pulled her arms free and wrapped them around his neck loosely.

"Mmm, that must be a lot to think about all at once, Love." He smiled gently, nuzzling the side of her head. "And such a pretty skull it is." He murred and snuggled close when she wrapped her arms around him, their bodies seeming to mold to each other perfectly. "I usually spend a lot of time considering what and why I do and am." He tilted his head just a little. "I know it sounds odd, but I find that I can learn a lot from myself if I pay attention. I'll bet you can teach me more about myself, though. And I just might have a chance to learn yourself too." He smiled again, meeting her eyes with his own, feeling as though he could sink into her eyes like a warm summer pool and never come back. "I have never been this happy before, so I'm treading entirely new ground here, Love, and I am adoring every moment. You're just that perfect." He smiled with total openness, she looked so pure and gorgeous in that moment. "I'll never leave your side if I can help it, ever." He professed the last bit as the oath that it was, meaning it to the very bottom of his being. He would rather die than lose this newfound feeling of wholeness.

Her eyelids softly closed, pondering the thought in the sanctity of her mind. A chance to discover herself…And her soulmate? Was it finally her time to be happy?
She smiled and nodded in silence, pressing her cheek against his nudgingly, then softly smoothing his cheek and neck with her tongue, “It’s new for the both of us..” She paused to admit, trying her hardest to hide her own fears.
She just couldn’t stand to lose him… But with being more then friends, that possibility became all too real.
That was a sacrifice she would have to take, and a decision she would have to make. If he was who she thought he was, they would find a way to make it work..
Some how, as clumsy as he made her, they might discover a way to pull it together.
She yawned and stretched on her back, forming a loose ‘C’ with her body as she pawed the invisible air; stretching was her favorite hobbie.
With all matters aside, she decide to pursue a lighter topic. “What are we to do today dear?” She asked at the ‘upside’ down Monty, silky stomach still exposed.

Montgomery smiled and chuckled aloud when Kiarra stretched, taking the opportunity to bury his face in her soft stomach fur. "Aww, you're so cute, Kiarra." He licked her stomach a few times, preening her silky fur. He could hardly imagine what it would be like to be without her, even though it had been only hours. He mentally shook his head, determined that NOTHING would ever pull them apart again. "I'm not sure, I really have no plans left. You managed to melt them all out of my mind." He grinned, teasingly, looking at her face up through her front legs. "How is your leg doing, Love? I know it was hurting you earlier, you were limping quite a bit." He said the last bit with concern, knowing that she would be all right, but still feeling a twisting in his gut that she was hurting.

Her brow furrowed as she sat up, “Oh really…I thought you were sleeping..What were you doing spying on me?” She teased with a grin, her ears folding back playfully.
She looked down at the sore leg, the back to Monty with a soft expression, “It’s a little stiff this morning” She admitted unwillingly, “But I’m sure I’ll be fine..”
She loved his caring nature, his gentle love…‘He would make a fine father one day..’ She thought in a daze, quickly brushing the thoughts from her mind.
How could she think so far into the future, when present moments make her head spin? She was thinking far too much, far too soon.
Her body relaxed as she let out a soft hum while she groomed her shoulder.

"Mmmm, now would I watch my beautiful love while she was out for her morning stroll?" He smiled and chuckled, working his way from her shoulder to the side of her neck, carefully cleaning and combing the fine fur with his raspy tongue. "Just take it easy for a few days, don't worry, I'm sure I can handle hunting for two for a while on my own." He smiled and purred, not happy that she was hurt at all, but pleased that he could do something to help her while she recovered. Such a strong female, he knew that foot had to be hurting a lot more than she would admit, and so thoughtful. He certainly did not deserve anyone as wonderful as her, but was not about to question the quirks of fate that brought them together. It was too wonderful to dwell on long, he decided. "What would you like for your morning meal, Love?"

She Closed her eyes and let herself be cuddled, yawning a final time before rolling her shoulders and stretching yet again, it was hard to get back into her routine. She smiled at her mate, folding her ear back and pressing her head against his intensively, “Whatever you manage to catch…” She said with a glance; the sparkling water seemed to brighten by the minute.
She was in an odd mood this morning…Distracted and still shocked over the turns her life seemed to be taking lately.
“D’you like cubs?” She blurted, immediately regretting her words…Yet of course, she was too curious for her own good. Yet she assured herself, she needed to know sooner or later, since this was somewhat of a little ‘test’ she seemed to scam on every other cat she met.

"Mmm, that makes it quite easy then, doesn't it?" He chuckled and quirked the corner of his mouth into a little grin. "Waiting beside the stream this early seems to be a rather good plan, actually. The prey is most likely going to be headed for their morning drinks." He purred and nuzzled her gently. "Would you like to come and soak your foot again, love, or would you rather stay here and rest? This is rather a new way of starting a morning for me, you know."
At her question about cubs, he fell silent for a moment, asking himself exactly how he DID feel. He had never really thought he would find a mate, certainly non anywhere near as wonderful as Kiarra. After a moment, he decided that being totally honest would be his best option. "You know, I never thought I would find a mate, certainly not one as perfect as you, Kiarra. I had never really considered cubs of my own, but I think I like the idea a lot." He looked serious, and nodded a little. "That is something we will have to consider, love. Do you want cubs?"

Just as new for me too Love, I'm used to being on my own... Though I can't say I wouldn't be heartbroken to be without your company.." She said with a bit of cheer in her voice. "Oh no.. It's fine..Really.." She promised, slowly stretching out her foot; she know how he worried for her.
When the unavoidable question that she had first posed was bounced in her direction, Kiarra found herself lost about what to do. With any other b'alam, she would have laughed hysterically at the thought.
Of course, The soft spoken and stong willed Kiarra had always had a special spot of cubs, though She could never imagine having cubs of her own.
She'd be terrified...always having to watch them..What if she wasnt mother material? It was different with little ones of others..Sure she loved them, but at the end of the day...they were someone else’s.
"No-Never" She blurted, looking away in somewhat embarrassment over the whole topic, cubs were only conceived one way... She thought back to the previous night for a moment before eyeing Monty again, "Well.."
She lowered her body, loosely laying against the cool ground as she thought of her next words.. "I haven’t quite thought about it...but It's not that I wouldn't want cub.. I'm simply scared of the changes that would follow...And undecided over my own fitness as a mother..."

He purred gently, a low rumble in his throat as he lay down beside her, snuggling his warm belly against her back. "It's a really heavy thought, isn't it? We'll have to decide that one together, Love." He nuzzled the back of her neck, continuing softly, "I would be lost without you, Kiarra, and whatever you decide, it will not make my feelings for you change. Nothing can do that. And if changes come, then come they will, and we will meet them together, as one."
He licked her between the ears, sure that he would never get tired of her taste and scent, and murred into her ear. "I know how cubs are made too, love, and that too is your choice. I'm sure you would be a fine mother, though, you are strong and smart, and I know you are more than capable of anything you wish."

She squirmed herself free, uncomfortable and distant. Such topics always made her that way. She was simply too fearful of failure, both as a mother and a mate...Even Monty’s sweetest words couldn’t subdue her fears. . “I just don’t know If I’m ready for all this..” She spoke, unwilling to look into his eyes.
At first, things seemed to be running so smoothly...too smoothly..And now they were on the topics of kids? She really didn’t know him that well...did she?
“Before things move any further, I think I need a bit of time to figure things out...For myself..” The warm sparkle that usually greeted his own seemed faded and hidden. She just needed a bit of time away from him and everything ‘new’ that was happening, just to let herself know that she could make it on her own; that she was still self sufficient.
Though she did look slightly stern and unnerved, she nuzzled Monty’s face before silently leaving him behind to do his hunting; she had lost her appetite.
