Prologue
A week after Leo and Tigris were crowned king and queen. Tigris needed to tell him something. "How do I tell him?" Tigris asked. "Just call him over here", said the nurse. She called Leo over and he came. "Leo, I need to tell you something", said Tigris. "What is it?" Asked Leo. Tigris gulped. "I'm expecting a baby", Tigris said. Leo smiled and was happy. Leo wanted to have a family. The day after they were king and queen, they had to say bye to their parents who joined the feline pack to watch their children rule the world.
Their parents were gonna die soon but Leo and Tigris hope that they would live to see their grandchild born. Leo seemed excited to have a baby. He dreamed of being a father. He decided to be alone to talk to Maximilion. "If you're watching over me, please talk to me, there is something I need to talk about", said Leo. Leo left, knowing that his best friend was gone. Leonidas hugged him. "Dad, you scared me!" Leo said. "I understand what it's like to lose someone you were close to. I lost my parents at a young age", said Leonidas.
"Really, dad?" I asked. "Yes, my son", said Leonidas. Leo hugged Leonidas. Luna came outside. "Having a rough night, son?" Luna asked. "Yes mother", said Leo. Leo was afraid to lose his parents. Luna started to feel sick the day after. Leo hoped he wasn't gonna lose his one and only mother. Luna was getting old and there was nothing him and his father could do. "Leo", said a voice. "Who said my name?" Asked Leo. Maximilion came and walked to Leo. "Where were you?" Leo asked. "I was watching over you", said Maximilion. Leo was furious that his friend wasn't there for him.
"Why didn't you come when I needed you?" Asked Leo. "You didn't really need me", said Maximilion. Leo looked at Maximilion. "Congratulations on your baby", said Maximilion. Leo smiled. "Why are you here?" Leo asked. "Your mom is dying. I know she is", said Maximilion. Leo looked at the ground. "Leo, I just want to let you know I am here for you even if you can't see me, instead of worrying about me, I think you should spend your last days with your mom", said Maximilion. Leo nodded and ran to Tigris who was watching him the whole time.
"Leo, who were you talking to?" Asked Tigris. "Never-mind that I need to see my mother", Leo said. Tigris looked confused. Leo ran to the den where his parents live in. His mom was getting frail and weak. She walked to Leo. Leonidas held her. "Babe, you shouldn't get up", said Leonidas. "It's our son, who came to see us", she said. Leo hugged his sick mom. "I wanted to spend my time with my parents but you should get some rest mom we have a big day ahead", said Leo. "Look, I know you're scared to lose your mom but its nature", said Leonidas.
It was next day and Leo had a list of ideas to do. "Let's play tag first mom", Leo said. Luna was walking slowly. Leo tapped Luna on the shoulder. "Tag, you're it", said Leo. Luna sat down. "Leo, can I tell you a story?" Luna asked quietly. "Um sure", said Leo. Luna saw the sun with her bright red-brownish eyes. "When I was your age, I used to play tag with your father and he loved it. The first time we fell in love was during night. We felt very different since then",said Luna.
Leo could tell Luna was dying. Luna collapsed. "Mom! Please wake up!" Said Leo. Leonidas came outside. "What is it?" Asked Leonidas. Luna was laying on the ground where every tiger and lion gathered to hear her last word. "Leo, I'd love to tell you that I'm here for you even if you can't see me", said Luna. It was official. Luna died. Leo held his tears. He saw Tigris grunting and struggling. "Are you ok?" Leo asked. "It's coming!" Yelled Tigris. Leo looked at her confused. "What?" He asked. "My baby is coming!" Said Tigris.
Leo ran and got the nurse. "It's coming! The baby, it's coming!" Said Leo. The nurse ran to Tigris. "Breathe and push", said the nurse. Tigris breathed and pushed till the cub was out but there was more than one cub. It was twins. "Well, looks like someone got lucky", chuckled Leonidas. Tigris held her two twin cubs. "May I hold them?" Asked Leo. Tigris gave her twins to Leo and he held them. "Don't worry twins. You're gonna have the best father ever", said Leo. "What's their genders, nurse?" Asked Tigris. The nurse picked up the twins.
"A boy and a girl", said the nurse. Leo named the girl, Leona and Tigris named the boy, Tigre.
