Reborn }{ Tsu-tey Story

19: Family as One

Liaka Grew over time, By the time Neytiri hit her Nine months Mark, Liaka was easily seen as three months, This is when Tsu-tey started to notice, By how smooth and soft her skin was under his fingers, and how she seemed to melt at night into the nest against him, like his skin was an escape from reality, she seemed to almost pass out as soon as they cuddled together at night, Usually Tsu-tey and her would talk about their days, When the first night of this happened, he explained to her the next morning she was forbidden from teaching the children til she was better, yet Liaka angrily hissed at him that morning storming off, very much unlike her, Tsu-tey was shocked into stillness, as she stormed from their nest. He was more scared, not of her, but the hiss, it always reminded him of his mothers, the threat of it to beat him in if he said another word. But that was normal for Na'vi children to fear the hiss, it wasn't abuse, usually it end in a head smack, or worse a butt whoop, but Tsu-tey was too old for both those things, but that it stopped Liaka from smacking him in the back of the head regularly.

But he'd only seen it once from her, Back when she was clanless, and it worried him that she was unhappy, but then he connected things, No, if she was unhappy she wouldn't love touching him or cuddling in their nest, she wouldn't look at him with those big green eyes filled with so much love. he sat there thinking a moment, He only knew one person who might understand having a mate like his. So he went to him, straight too the man himself, Jake Sully.

When he explained to Jake what was going on Jakes first words were "Have you been trying to, Expand your family?" he teased at the end softly as Tsu-tey cleared his throat "Yes we have. What does that have anything to do with her unhappiness this morning..." Jake hummed "Does she smell different? Maybe almost Lemony or maybe something sweet?" Tsu-tey thought about it "Shes always smelled like Yovo so..." Jake Laughed "No No! When, Or after..." he tried to explain, Tsu-tey thought a moment about what he was trying to say then he realized "Oh....OH! I mean---" He thought a moment, and it popped into his head, yes she did..."Do you mean to tell me..." He looked at his leader as he nodded back to him smirking "Congrats, might want to check with her first." Tsu-tey wasted no time, in searching for her, as he sniffed the air tho he smelt her Yovo, Sun lilies. He went marching towards the smell, Finding her with Neytiri braiding baskets together as children sat or slept around them watching with awe at the womens work, and he kneeled down from afar watching them, She looked like the sun, he thought to himself.

she was glowing, her skin looked like flecks of the sun, and he found himself smiling at the thought of what Jake said possibly being true. But couldn't pull himself from the view to ask. Not until her eyes met him, his tail swishing happily behind him, her greens looking into his golden eyes, She smiled and stood up walking over to him "Ma Su..." She signaled I see you, He smiled standing up and walked closer to her cupping her face between his hands and looking upon her with so much adoration, as he felt her soft skin under his finger "Say it...is it true.." she smiled at him wide and nodded her head "Yes Ma Su, It's true...sorry for m--" he smiled at her, his fangy grin warming her heart as he kissed her forehead and cheeks "shhh Ma Li" He chuckled as she chuckled with him at his happiness. In that moment Tsu-tey just held her close kissing her face as she laughed at him "Ma Su! must watch children you need to go..." She laughed softly He shook his head holding her in place "Uhuh Ma Li" She laughed and pushed away from him "Su Go!" she pointed to outside the tree and he smirked and went to grab her again but she smacked him with her tail as he left "Ma Su! go!" She giggled as she walked away from him back to the children, he watched her walk away tail swishing happily behind her.

He stood there only a few more moments basking in the glow of his Mate, his Li...He tore his eyes from her, a smile on his face as he went to complete his duties for the day quickly, to get back to her quicker, to make sure she ate and did the necessary things. 

Liaka kept her eyes on the children til the parents returned, She was teaching them Numbers when Tsu-tey arrived back at home tree, He swooped in beside her, Nuzzling his nose into her cheek, placing a kiss there. She smiled in greeting at him, continuing her lesson. The children would laugh anytime Tsu-tey would feed her, she'd accept of course, but would end up chewing and speaking the lesson at the same time. The children found it amusing. Tsu-tey never thought about children, he did not when betrothed to Neytiri, and Not with Sylwanin either, they were too young, but Liaka, He remembered Everything, the first time her green eyes caught him from the forest floor, and how her eyes looked when she first saw him in person, the smile that day was so bright younger Tsu-tey thought the girl had swallowed the sun. 

his Favorite smile tho, Was the day she first saw the tree of souls as one of the people, before the fall of past home tree, He remembered that smile like it was yesterday, he fell in love way before that, but that smile, sealed his fate, for he knew he'd die and live for her, with just one word from her. He wanted her from every moment they had together, even the bad ones, the ones he wishes he could take back but couldn't, not ever. 

- a Month later: Liaka is Four and a Half months pregnant, Neytiri 10 1/2 months-

Though, One-day Liaka was brought by Jake and Neytiri to the Old sky people's Base, where Norm, Max, and a few other scientists resided. She greeted her old friends, and hugged Max, Max was like her uncle to her growing up, having not seen him since she left the day she attacked that horrible man, she'd missed him, but he had told her something that made her smile "I have a gift for you...come..." He took her big hand in his small one, Neytiri and Jake following close behind, Liaka ducked to enter the room, it was her Old tube, where she was before she awoke, but now, Her Sa'nok's avatar resided in it, Liaka ran up and put her hand against the glass and whispered "Sa-nok.." her voice soft with emotion "I see you.." she kissed the glass as Neytiri and Jake watched for her reaction, When Liaka pulled from the glass she saw it, A stomach as big as hers, on her Sa'nok's avatar, she moved down to be eye level with it and gasped in Awe and spoke "w-what is this..." she looked in a trance as max pulled a tablet from his belt with a smile "That...Liaka...is Another gift like you...Just one given to grace..." She watched the monitor on the small tablet, on it was a small fetus, tail, Queue, Four almost five solid digits, as they weren't yet formed completely, Liaka set her five fingers on the screen tears leaking down her face "This is Eywa's true Miracle...This child" Liaka smiled through her tears "Truly pure..." she whispered tracing the fetus's outline on the screen, From that day, Liaka Promised to protect this young blessing, with every Fiber, it was to be Planned she take the girl...But Eywa and fate...Had other Plans...
