"I love planes," Josh shouts over the roaring engine.
"Me too," I reply "Especially when they are taking us home!"
Just as I say that, the plane dips and turns a sudden circle. I look towards the pilot who is yelling at the top of his lungs. He's lost control of the plane, my heart starts to race.
"HE'S LOST CONTROL OF THE PLANE!" I cry.
The elderly couple behind us who were talking non stop about their baby just a few minutes ago rush to protect the cloth in which their baby lies. They order us to lay down, and the couple and the pilot lay their bodies over ours. We are the only people on the plane. My stomach is turning circles and I look towards Josh. His face is pale as he grabs hold of my hand. I can see trees now, we are nearly on the floor of the jungle. I close my eyes as the plane hits the ground...
I wake up sweating, Josh by my side.
"It's okay," He whispers, "I have them nightmares too."
I slowly recover and walk over to the couples' baby.
The cloth is sodden as I reach to peel it back. Ugh, why do I have to do this again? The crying starts up again but this time much louder. I want to throw the cloth off the edge of the hill and into the river.
"Just hurry up already!" Josh shouts from his rock.
"If you don't shut up, then you're going to do it!" I shout back, louder. Josh doesn't say anything more.
I peel back the cloth, cringing at the wetness. The crying becomes quieter but still goes on. I want to break something. I lift the squirming creature out of the cloth in awe. I'm still not over the shock of what the couples' baby is.
A little paw bats at the cloth and I carry the squirming creature over to the rocks where Josh is sat.
"Holy Moley," Josh starts, "Ugh-uh, take it back where you found it."
I laugh at Josh's reaction. I didn't believe what I saw yesterday when I peeled back the cloth but it's funny to see Josh's reaction.
"Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
"Because I didn't believe it either!" I reply.
I place the lion cub down and watch it as it curiously explores it's surroundings.
"Boy or Girl?" Josh asks.
"I don't know, why don't you have a look."
Josh grabs the cub in his hands and is rewarded by a scratch on the arm.
"Ow!" He cries.
I pick up the little cub gently and flip him over. I tickle it's little tummy and it squirms delightedly.
"Boy." I reply.
(Aghh I love this bit! Comment on what you think the name for the lion cub should be. I have an idea but I wanna see what u guys think lol).
