I've been laying inside the kelku all day, I felt nauseous. Eytukan and Mo'at had put off their duties to care for me. "Here you go." Mo'at sat me up a bit as she gave me some water. "Thanks." Eytukan came back with Kamun and he check me over. "She's fine, you two worry too much." Mo'at breathed a sigh of relief hearing that, so did I. "Sempul, is she?" Mo'at turned her head, staring at me while she sat beside Sof. "You two are going to need to make your kelku bigger is all."

He chuckled a bit in response. "Sofronia is pregnant." Mo'at and Eytukan were grinning. Mo'at place her hand on my stomach gently rubbing it. "What a great gift from Eywa." I sat there kind of in a daze, it didn't feel real, but it was and I was happy about it too. "Yes, this is great."

Eytukan kissed my forehead, before looking back at his father. "Just keep her stress level down you, that's the reason why she's feverish. She just needs plenty of rest, I'll make her some medicine to help her fever and with a lot of nutrition." After Kamun left our Kelku that's when the two had excitement overload. Mo'at smiled at me, her tail swishing with excitement. "A baby, Eytukan the first child and from our mate!" Mo'at clung to me rubbing her face against mine. "Hey, easy!" Eytukan began to place kisses on the other side of my face. "H-Hey that tickles!"

~A couple months later~

My belly gotten bigger as I quickly approached my due date. Mo'at recently had been kissing my belly and showing much more affection along with Eytukan. Mo'at grinned rubbing her hand against my belly as she rested her head on my shoulder. "I love you Sof." I smiled at Mo'at as she gave me a kiss. "And I love you, but you said it 20 times today." Mo'at grinned as she turned back to look at my belly. "I know, but Eytukan has told you thirty today, besides you're bearing our child, we want you know it as much as possible."

Eytukan came in with some fish and a basket of fruit. "Sofronia, we're eternally grateful for it too." Mo'at smiled as she stood up. "I'll make dinner, you've been busy with fishing and your duties." Mo'at gestured towards me. "Spend some time with our mate and child." Mo'at took the net and basket of fruit and began to cook.

Eytukan sat down beside me and carefully placed me into his lap, and leaned back with me. My back was against his chest, with one of his hands on my stomach. "That's better, I can hold you properly like this." Eytukan gently tapped his fingers against my stomach. I squirmed slightly. "Hey don't leave." He repeated the action making me giggle. "Stop, you're tickling me!" Eytukan smirked playfully. "I'm not doing anything." I squealed as he continued. "Please, Mo'at help me!" Mo'at chuckled. "Sorry Sof, I'm making dinner." I laughed as tears pricked my eyes. "Please! Mo'at!" She smiled as she was finally finished cooking.

Mo'at came over and playfully smacked Eytukan. "Stop tickling her, now you two go eat." My mouth watered seeing what Mo'at made. "Sit down Sof." I nodded sitting down. "Oh, yes." She made Sweet Fish Pie. It's a sweet dish filled all the way with fruit and fish, that just melt in your mouth. Eytukan sat down and smelled the dish. "Smells great."

Eytukan gave me a big piece of the pie. "Eat." Mo'at nodded pushing some stuffed mushrooms toward me too. "Gon on now, you're eating for two." I nodded as I took a bite, the dish was extra sweet, it must be from him catching Buoyfish, their meat has a sweet flavor.

Mo'at smiled softly staring at me as I ate. "Is it good?" I smiled back. "It's delicious." Mo'at wiped the side of my face with her thumb, cleaning off some food stuck to my cheek. "Good, eat plenty." Mo'at was taken out guard as Eytukan placed a piece in front of her. "You need to eat to heart." Mo'at smiled at our mate as she took a bite of her food. Eytukan began to eat his and by the end of dinner there was nothing left.

I fell back onto the floor. "I'm stuffed, that was so delicious." Mo'at and Eytukan chuckled. Mo'at began to clear the dishes away. "Glad you enjoy it." I whined feeling Eytukan gently tug on my arm. "If you want to lie down, lay in the hammock. You'll catch a cold." I nodded, yawning tiredly. "Okay."

I laid beside Eytukan as I tiredly stared at Mo'at who was still cleaning up. "Mo'at?" She hummed in response. "Come lay with us." Mo'at chuckled illuminating a smile I couldn't see. "In a minute, enjoy Eytukan's company for a while." I pouted a bit and Eytukan began to nuzzle my neck. "What am I not enough?" He teased playfully. "It's not that... I just want to cuddle with you both..." Eytukan smirked retreating from my neck and giving me a passionate kiss. "I know, Mo'at our mate is impatient." Mo'at smiled putting the last item away.

"I know, I'm coming now." I smiled as Mo'at clung to me immediately, upon climbing into our shared hammock. "Better?" She spoke in a content tone. "Very." Eytukan arms wrapped around my waist, he snuggled into my side.

I woke up in the early in the morning with the both the two's heads laying on my chest. I smiled as the two slept peacefully, eventually I got bored and decided to pester one of my mates. I wanted to keep my fingers so I decided it be best to annoy Eytukan instead of Mo'at. I began to gently poked his face, making him scrunch it up, before opening his eyes. "Morning, why are you annoying me so early?" I smirked giving him a kiss. "Well I decided to live and not pester Mo'at." Eytukan chuckled pulling me onto side out of Mo'at's reach.

"Eytukan. Sofronia." Mo'at sat up and glared at us. I smiled sweetly at her calling her by one of the nicknames I gave her. "Morning Tìyawn." Mo'at moved closer to me and laid her head on my shoulder. "You two talking early in the morning is becoming a habit." Eytukan chuckled a bit. "My heart, the Tsahìk's duties begin early in the morning." Mo'at's eyes narrowed at him. "And an Olo'eytkan's duties should be done with silence." Eytukan chuckled at her sharp comeback. Eytukan laid his hand on my belly gently rubbing it. Mo'at smiled watching him for a moment.

Eytukan eventually groaned as he got up. I turned my head to stare at him. "Where are you going?" Eytukan chuckled. "I'm off to hunt and oversee training of the young hunters, along with the warriors." Eytukan gave Mo'at and I a kiss. "I'll be back in the afternoon."

We watched as he left. "You're not working too are you?" Mo'at smiled. "I am Tsahìk, I have to heal the people and tell them Eywa's will." I rolled over and kissed Mo'at's lips a couple of times before she kissed back. "Hmm... this is a good morning." Mo'at smiled as she kissed my forehead. "Don't worry, I don't have to go till the afternoon, till then I'll remain here with you." I sighed but smiled seeing Mo'at began to rub my belly. "Thank you." Mo'at kissed my cheek and she continued to rub my belly. "I think I've gotten spoiled." Mo'at chuckled. "Perhaps. But you're our mate and we love to love you."
