---The Next Morning---
Leonidas cracked his eyes open and saw his mate lying in front of him still asleep. Nightfire was still asleep dreaming peacefully. Leonidas smiled and kissed Nightfire passionately. Nightfire passionately kissed Leonidas back and then slowly began to wake-up, and when Nightfire looked to Leonidas she smiled and said, “Good morning my love.” “Good morning, my dear.” Leonidas said. Leonidas and Nightfire then helped each other out of bed but were careful not to wake-up Rachelle who was still sleeping. Leonidas put on his Black Fire Guardian clothes for he was gonna be wearing them for quite some time. Nightfire put on her usual black and red tank-top and black and red short-shorts. “How do I look?” Leonidas asked. “You look just about like Ignitus a bit.” Nightfire said with a smile. Leonidas smiled and placed a kiss on Nightfire’s cheek. Nightfire looked over to Rachelle’s cradle and asked, “Should we wake her up?” “That’s what I always do, whenever she’s sees my face she’s always up and ready to go.” Leonidas said walking over Rachelle’s cradle. Nightfire walked up next to Leonidas. Leonidas then scooped up Rachelle in his arms and nudged her. Rachelle then cracked her eyes open and looked to her father. Leonidas placed a kiss on Rachelle’s forehead. Rachelle rubbed her eyes and was now fully awake. Nightfire smiled and placed a kiss on Rachelle’s cheek as well. Rachelle smiled to her mother. Leonidas then placed Rachelle gently down on the bed and changed her PJ’s with some of her new clothes. Rachelle was feeling very comfy and reached up to her father. Leonidas scooped Rachelle back up and held onto his arms. “Leonidas honey.” Nightfire said. “Yes Nightfire?” Leonidas asked. “Could I ask you something?” Nightfire asked. “Of course, you can ask me anything..” Leonidas said. “What if we were to give Rachelle a little brother or sister?” Nightfire asked. Leonidas looked over to Nightfire real quick and asked, “What did you say?” “I asked, ‘what if we were to give Rachelle a little brother or sister’.” Nightfire repeated. “Oh, I would think of that as a wonderful idea, what made you think of that?” Leonidas asked. Nightfire walked over to Leonidas and put his hand on her belly. Leonidas felt Nightfire’s belly until he felt a bump. “I’m pregnant.” Nightfire said excitedly. Leonidas smiled and wrapped his free arm around Nightfire and passionately kissed her. Nightfire passionately kissed back. Rachelle placed her tiny hands on her father’s chest and was very excited to have a little brother or sister coming. Leonidas and Nightfire released from the kiss and then walked together down to the dining hall.
As they reached the dining hall, Leonidas was a gentleman and held the door open for his mate. Nightfire smiled and walked in placing a kiss on Leonidas’ cheek as she walked past him. Leonidas smiled and walked in after Nightfire. Leonidas and Nightfire looked around and noticed that Spyro Cynder Terrador Cynthia Volteer and Cyril were all there as well, and then Leonidas said, “Morning everyone.” “Morning Fire Guardian.” The Guardians greeted. “Morning my son and daughter-in-law.” Terrador and Cynthia greeted. “Morning brother, sister.” Cynder greeted. “Morning Leonidas, Nightfire, little Rachelle.” Spyro greeted. Leonidas and Nightfire decided to sit next to each other, of course, but also Leonidas sat next to his mother as well. “Mother, Nightfire and I have some amazing news.” Leonidas said with a smile. “What is it sweetie.” Leonidas whispered in his mother’s ear, “Your gonna have a second grandchild.” Cynthia covered her mouth with her hands then after gathering her thoughts she asked, “Are you really?” “Yep, we really are.” Leonidas said. “I’m proud of you sweetheart, but remember when the baby comes you need to be its father.” Cynthia said. “I know mom, I know.” Leonidas said. “You have to promise me that you will do as I told you.” Cynthia said in a serious tone. Leonidas raised his right hand and said, “When this child arrives, I will promise to be the best father I can possibly be.” “Good.” Cynthia said with a smile. As the moles brought out everyone’s breakfast and then after serving breakfast they went back into the kitchen and got ready for lunch. Leonidas began feeding Rachelle. Rachelle loved her breakfast, all her breakfast was just pretty much was steak so she could get ready to eat bigger things and get used to chewing. Nightfire began eating her breakfast and took a moment to place a kiss on Leonidas’ cheek. Leonidas smiled and continued feeding Rachelle. Rachelle ate every little bite up.
After everyone was done eating they handed their dishes to the moles and then left the Dining Hall. Leonidas, Nightfire, and Rachelle were walking out and about the city, showing Rachelle some of the new things that came into the city, like the new Guardian statue of which was carved out of gold. As Leonidas walked around he’s seemed to have earned everyone’s respect as they called him by his new Title. As Leonidas walked passed one young children the asked, “What was it like becoming the Fire Guardian, master Leonidas?” and Leonidas told them, “Well children, when I became Fire Guardian, it actually felt like a dream come true, but for you children, the dreams that you have in your head, but let me tell you this, you must never give up on the dream that you have, no matter what anyone says, don’t let them get to you and also, be sure to prove those that you can prove the ones that said you can’t do it wrong, and then they’ll think twice before doubting you.” Nightfire was very happy that Leonidas had fans and was very well respected but she was also getting oodles of respect as well and she didn’t even notice it. Leonidas then patted each child on his or her head and walked back over to Nightfire and continued their walk through the city. Most of the cities Dragonesses walked up to Nightfire and one of them asked, “What’s it like being on the side of strongest Dragon in the world?” Nightfire smiled and said, “Well, it actually feels very wonderful, plus he even promises to take good care of me when I’m not feeling well, and also sometime later, we’re gonna be expecting another baby.” The Dragonesses then gasped and then said in unison to Leonidas and Nightfire, “CONGRATULATIONS!!!!” Leonidas and Nightfire held each other close and had Rachelle’s ears covered and said, “Thank you, all of you.” Leonidas and Nightfire continued walking through the city Dragons, Dragonesses, and Moles they were all showing respect for Leonidas, Nightfire, their current daughter Rachelle, and their future son. They stopped at the gates and then looked to each other. Leonidas then put his free hand on Nightfire’s belly and was able to feel a muscular egg forming. Nightfire smiled and placed a kiss on Leonidas’ cheek and then asked, “What do you think we should name him?” “How about, Cyrus?” Leonidas suggested. Nightfire smiled and said, “That’s perfect, for a little boy like this.” Leonidas and Nightfire then passionately kissed each other and then headed back to the temple.
Arriving home at 2:00P.M., Leonidas and Nightfire walked into their room placed Rachelle on the bed both placed a kiss on her forehead. Rachelle smiled and placed a hand on her mother’s belly. Nightfire smiled and put her hand over Rachelle’s hand and asked, “Do you feel the egg of your new brother sweetie?” Rachelle nodded her head yes. Leonidas wrapped his arms around Nightfire’s waist and smiled. Rachelle climbed up her mother’s arm and then up to her father’s shoulder. “My, my, talented little one isn’t she.” Leonidas said with a smile. Nightfire smiled and placed her hands over Leonidas’ hands. Leonidas sat down on the bed next to Rachelle. Nightfire sat down on Leonidas’ lap and leaned up against him for a leaning post. Leonidas smiled and didn’t mind. Leonidas layed back on the bed. Nightfire smiled and then turned around and layed on top of him.
At 10:00P.M., Leonidas took Rachelle and changed her into her PJ’s and placed her in her cradle and covered her with her blanket. Rachelle made herself cozy and immediately found the right spot to rest her head on her pillow and then closed her eyes and fell asleep. Leonidas placed a kiss on Rachelle’s forehead and then crawled into bed. Nightfire was already fast asleep. Leonidas smiled and then rested his head against the pillow and fell asleep with his arms around Nightfire’s waist.
