Arriving at the village, appreciating deep murmurs sounded from the three groups of travellors. One of these infatuated groups are seen around a heavily pregnant almond skin color golden eye female. Surprisingly, the usual boisterous red wolf beastmen isn't around her. 

And at another side of the village stand in adoration a separate mix group of travellors who are giving out their compliments to a slightly frustrated dark blue eye female. This female felt torn between basking in her glory or sticking to the mission of observing her fully grown female cub. 

Standing close to the silky black hair curvy in all the right place female are all of her males growling in annoyance at the foolishly brave travellors, especially the peacock beastmens. For at least the cheetah beastmen have the ability to run quick and far, and the tiger beastmen have the strength to be able to defend themselves for a longer amount of time. But the peacocks, well, they only have the distracting feathers going for them. 

Back to the pregnant female. Perking up at their attention, Elena purrs as the travellors give her their heart felt compliments. Though to her side, four of her males show their sharp vicious teeth or claws whenever one of these male visitors are too close for comfort. 

"Looking at the healthy glow of your skin and how you tend to your tummy, you'll be a wonderful mother!" exclaims a cheetah beastmen.

"If your cubs were to have your beautiful curly hair, amazing color skin, and gorgeous golden eyes, they'd be the talk of all female beasts," proudly adds a peacock beastmen.

"Your strength as a panther beast and the care you've taken to sharpen you nails and body makes you a much worthy female!" purr shouts a very interested tiger beastmen who is slowly shortening his distance between him and his hopefully, one day, female. 

"Take a step back runt," growls one of the female's males. 

The tiger scoffs, "I'll take a step back for her, but are your eyes so bad that you can't see? I am no runt."

The male steps closer to his female and exerts his dominance. The pressure given out made the peacock beastmens feel faintish, the cheetah beastmens to harden their teeth to stand still, and for that specific tiger beastmen to flatten his ears while giving a further space between himself and their female. 

The given pressure interrupts when a loud worried voice shouts not too far off, "I'm coming Elena! I've got your favorite meat!!"

All the visiting males zero in at a ridiculously looking wolf beastmen. The red headed male whose arms were filled with a bundle of cooked deer meat can be seen running around the other females, yet barges through the single and visiting males as if they were nothing. Behind him he leaves males that were either sitting on their behind, face planting the ground, howling to the sun for having been brutally stepped on, or growling in annoyance at being shoved. 

"Move you pieces of rock!" loudly growls Bronco as he slams another pair of males to the side. Unfortunately, one of these poor fellas was the silver hair tiger beastmen that was not only called a runt but now also a flimsy rock. 

The male that was protecting Elena, immediately steps to the side as their female cheers at towering meat. With a toothy salvigating mouth she immediately morphs her nails into claws and takes a huge slice of the meat into her already open mouth. 

The plump, fully pregnant female, is now seen hungrily devouring her prey as if someone would dare try to take it away from her. 

Watching her appetite, her own males, including Bronco, purr in happiness. On the other hand, the peacock beastmen withheld their tremble and decide to slowly walk back to their group for this female was definitely a predator full and full!

Her fast pleasurable eating was then disturb by a kick to her stomach. 

"Oh."

Bronco and the males blink their eyes at why their female would suddenly stop. 

Feeling another kick, Elena then sniff the air to pin point a particular smell that grabbed her attention.

With a piece of deer meat in her hands she then happily shouts, "Suki!"

A zombie like walking tall olive skin female slowly blinks her eyes at someone calling her name. At her sudden stop, a muddy much shorter female slams into her back. Jumping back the short female yells as she tenderly touches her nose. 

From afar Elena can hear the other female cry out, "uh my nose!" Then a gasp, "ahh sorry Suki!" For the other female has pointed at the taller female's now dirty back. Near them a male with black and white stripe hair tsks at the short one and tries to clean Suki's back with his furry tail. 

Elena, feeling as if they've forgotten about her, calls again and waddles toward them in excitement. Feeling another kick, she touches her belly as she whispers, "patient little one, we're almost there."

Bronco, hearing his female conversation with their unborn pups laughs joyfully. 

To his loud laughter and seeing her friends round belly coming closer and closer to them, Suki breaks out of her dark daze and attempts a smile as she leads her family to meet up with her now panting friend. 

"I though you've had your pups by now, or are you close to having them?" curiously asks Suki.

Elena grins as she lovingly touches her belly with her free hand. Purring she replies, "I'm very close but Suki would you like to touch?"

Suki's mouth freezes yet seeing her friend's lovely smile, she reluctantly nods her head. "Yes, definitely." Next to her Sheila looks in wonder at the very but very pregnant female... how does she keep on walking, she thinks. 

As Suki was about to gently lay her hand on Elena's stomach, a few travelling beastmen mutter their displeasure but it was a cheetah beastmen nearby who was clearly heard saying, "what a great honor, especially to a bad mother."

This immediately made Suki freeze and clench her mouth. At this both Sheila and Elena glare at the beastmens, while the two females males menancingly stared at them and specifically at the lone male. 

Before Suki's light dark toffee blonde hair male could take a killing step toward the ignorant male, Elena's hair stand on end. Quickly she tears off the meat off the now grand piece of bone held on her right hand and harshly throws it to that males head. Obiously the male was able to duck in time, however the beastmen behind him wasn't so lucky. 

Quickly gulping down the meat, Elena then threatingly growls out, "you do not know of my friend's bravery and beauty! You who brazingly taints her reputation are nothing to us females!" 

Feeling her glares, the male gulps as he tries to complacent the now golden glowing eye female. Bronco puffs up as he and Wyatt block the cheetah beastmens sight. "Get lost before I cripple you," warns the red headed male as he inwardly worries at the stress level his female is going through. To the angry father-to-be and the threatening vibe of the bear beastmen, the cheetah beast and those who mutter similar sentiments ran as fast as they could to the forest of the village. 

Now smiling tenderly back, Elena slowly takes Suki's clench hand, begins to open it and places her friend's hand firmly on her stomach. "I don't care what they say, you shouldn't either, because they don't know you like we The Clear Lake Tribe do, and I still would like for you to take one of my sons as your male." Beams Elena while purring softly at the end. 

As Suki gently smiles, Wyatt and the rest look on in befuddlement at what the female panther beast conveyed. So much so that Sheila began to publicly clean her ears and mutter, "did I hear her right?... Nawwww."

Looking at their unbelieving stares, Elena coquetishly smiles, "Suki here will take my cub as her own male as soon as he's a full adult!" She then partly hides her face in embarrasment as she shrieks happily. 

While the males and Sheila either left their mouths wide open or felt a tick to their eye brows (with the exception of Vick who since long appeared annoyed), Suki is happily purring at feeling one of the cubs giving her a little fist punch to her hand. 

Before she could rejoice at this cute display, she first heard what sounded like a bucket of pouring water and next felt a watery substance near her feet. Afterwards it was Sheila shrieking in worry, Bronco yelling out orders, and Elena happily shouting to her as she was lifted away, "see! He can't wait to meet you!"
