Tora: *gets into his maternity tux*

*his sisters Mai and Miho were fussing ovr him*

Tora: Cmon you two. What's with ya?

Mai: I cant help it! I just want u to look ur best

Miho: Yeah! We're ur sisters. We're concerned for u!

Tora: *straightens out his outfit a bit more* there we go. *gives 'em a sideview*

Ari: *gets his best buddy looking his best* Looking great, Jin

Jinbei: U think so? I'm scared it might make me look sloppy. R u sure its OK? *turns to Miho's husband Mar*

Mar: I am sure, Jinbei. *gives his back a few pats* Just take a deep breath

Jinbei: *does so, breathing in n out, tho he felt like he wanted to puke there n then*

Mar: *gives him a glass of ginger ale*

Jinbei: *sips it, feeling a little better*

Tora: Cmon, sisters, how do I look?

Mai: *squealed* U look positively glowing~!

Miho: Ur beautiful, Tora. I think u'll make Jinbei swoon at the altar

Tora: Glowing ya say? *Blushes bright red* Ooof *Felt another kick*

Miho: *chuckles* Seems like ur kittens agree with me

Tora: Maybe. CMon, let's get going

Mai: Hai~!!

Miho: *since they dont hv a father to walk him dwn the aisle, n she is the eldest, she was the one to do so*

Ari: *Since he's the best man, he stood to the side of his best friend(

*Tora's family friends n relatives were at one side while Jinbei's were at the other, n its plain to see tht the comparison btwn Tora's family n Jinbei's was like heaven n earth*

*As the music was played, Tora was being lead down the aisle by his eldest sister*

Jinbei: *his breath hitched at upon the wedding march being played, then turned to look at Tora who looked positively gorgeous in his maternity tux. He blushed hard*

Tora: *reached the alter and looked up at his future husband, smiling*

Jinbei: *smiled as he took ovr aftr Miho handed Tora to him, facing the wedding officiator*

Tora: *Feels ready for the vows*

Officiator: *gave a short speech before turning to Jinbei* Do u take Tora Stripes as ur lawful wedded mate, to hv n to hold, till death do u part?

Tora: *looks to Jinbei, waiting for his words*

Jinbei: *nods happily* I do

Officiator: And do u, Tora Stripes, take Jinbei Andou as ur lawful wedded mate, to hv n to hold, till death do u part?

Tora: I do.

Officiator: Then with the power invested in me, I now prononce u bonded mates. U may kiss ur mate, Mr. Andou

Jinbei: *didn't need to be told twice as he leaned forward to capture Tora's lips*

Tora: *goes forward and kisses his new husband*

*everyone cheered n clapped, n Mai n Miho cried happy tears*

Tora: We did it, Jin

Jinbei: Yes we did, koi *kissed him again n with his strength, carried him bridal style out*

Tora: *blushes bright red, one hand on his belly*

Jinbei: *carried Tora out of the hall n into the car*

Tora: What, no wedding party?

Jinbei: We r going to the wedding party. Bt its not here. We're having it at my home

Tora: Oh okay.

*they drove all the way to a big Japanese style mansion where Jinbei lived*

Tora: Wow! Almost like my place.

Jinbei: Yeah. My dad runs a vry big textile business so we get our wealth frm there

Tora: So, the party's here. Wish I could dance

Jinbei: U will, bt first u hv to meet the clan

Tora: Okay. *his ears wiggle

Jinbei: *led him to the main hall where the clan is*

Tora: Wow! Even my family's here!

Ari: Dude! You made it! Cmon, join the party!

Tora: *wonders who he'll meet first*

*Jinbei's family turned to see Tora, n almost immediately Mitsugu shot him a venomous look, while Natsui and Sukito gave him an indifferent look. Only Sangetsu seemed to be happy to see him*

Tora: Eh, nevermind.

Koho: *A young man with white tiger ears goes to greet Jinbei* Jinbei, isn't it?

Jinbei: *looks up at him* Err, yes. U r?

Koho: Koho, I'm Tora's cousin

Jinbei: *sees the white ears* Ah, I see the resemblance *held his hand out to shake*

Koho: *shakes him* You are a lucky guy, Jinbei

Tora: *looks for anyone to talk to*

Jinbei: Thanks. N I'm reli lucky too to hv my kittens on the way

Sangetsu: Hey~! Tora-chan~! *hugs him* Welcome to the family~!

Tora: *hugs Sangetsu* Sangetsu! *hugs him back* Thank you

Koho: even better You two are gonna be great parents

Sangetsu: Come, come! Lemme introduce u to the family *pulled him to the clan* U've met my mother Nanae

Nanae: Welcome to the family, Tora-san *had tht sort of smile tht doesnt reli reach her eyes*

Tora: Hai, that I have *bows a bit* Thank you, Nanae-san

Nanae: I believe u havent my other mate yet. This is Lydia Hosokawa, snow leopard frm the Himalayas

Lydia: *bowed at Tora, looking like a Eurasian*

Nanae: N this is our daughter Mitsugu Sarashina

Mitsugu: *looked at Tora, scowled n turned to Nanae* Papa, I dont like him

Nanae: Now, now, dont be rude, Mitsu-chan. He's part of the family now

Mitsugu: Well, I dont care *turned to Tora* I hate u

Tora: *he doesn't frown. He just smiled at her* It's okay, it takes a while for people to get use to me. To be honest, Jinbei didn't like me at first

Koho: So, how long have you and Tora been together, Jin-kun?

Jinbei: We've been together since high school actually, bt we didnt started out liking each other. In fact we were sworn rivals, trying to outdo each other on everything *laughs*

Koho: Let me guess, he outdid you on everything

Jinbei: *pouts* Not everything. Well...most of it, bt not everything. N yeah, we were like, forgive my pun, cats n dogs at the time, always fighting n yelling at each other's throats ovr the littlest things

Koho: Then what got you two to resolve your differences?

Jinbei: Well, u might think it silly, bt it was this rant tht Ari shot at us wen we were arguing one day. He said "Why dont u just go find a closet and fuck already?" *laughs* Yeah, he said tht. N frm there, it just somehow clicked, why we were always fighting all the time. It's bcoz we wanted to impress each other, bcoz we already liked each other frm the vry start. Since then, we decided a truce n, well, the rest is history

Koho: And I already know the story of how he got pregnant. All I can say is, he couldn't have found a luckier man

Jinbei: *chuckled sheepishly*

Tora: Hehe. *has a few family members feel his stomach*

Natsui&Sukito: *eyeing curiously bt remains indifferent, like their father Tateno's attitude*

Tora: *the twins kick inside of his womb*

*the ppl touching his belly giggled*

Tora: *blushes a bit* SAngetsu nii-san?

Sangetsu: *turns to him* Hai?

Tora: *whispers* is there anyone who'll be at least nice to me??

Sangetsu: There's Mama Kuro. U can try talking to him. I'm sure he'll be nice to u. Or try Mama Karen or Mama Tamako. They're Sukito n Natsui's mothers

Tora: How about Kuro-san, first?

Sangetsu: U can give it a shot

Tora: Can you bring him here? I'm kind of nervous ^///^

Sangetsu: Alright *went ovr to Kuro n led him here* Mama Kuro, I believe u both met

Kuro: *bowed* Hi, Tora-san. Nice to finally hv u in the family. How r the kittens?

Tora: They are really active today

Kuro: Tht's normal. I'm sure they knw they've got new sounds surrounding them. Jinbei was tht way when I was pregnant with him

Tora: Really? *tries to imagine Jinbei as a little cub*

Kuro: *chuckles* Carrying him was not reli easy. For starters 8gestures to himself* I'm not a big size cat, n secondly I am originally a man, not intersex like u

Tora: Oh really. So he was huge?

Kuro: Yes, quite. As u can see frm his father *gestures to Tateno* He's no small fry either, so yeah

Tora: Ooof *felt a kick just right about his navel*

Kuro: Wow, tht was some kick

Koho: Cmon, let's go find your husband

Jinbei: *nods n followed Koho*

Koho: *looks for his pregnant cousin*

Ari: Hey Jin

Tora: *the pregnant tiger felt another kick inside him

Kuro: Seems like the kittens knw their Daddy is here.

Jinbei: *turns to him* Yo, Ari. Thanks a lot for the help, aye?

Ari: No problem, mate. Cmon, Tora's right over here

Jinbei: *followed him n soon saw Tora* Hey, Tora-chan *hugs him frm behind* Hey, Mama

Kuro: Hey, Jin-chan. We were just talking abt u

Tora: I heard you were such a cute, big cub Wish I could see pictures of ya

Jinbei: Heh~? Pls dont~! Its embarassing -///-

Kuro: *grins n showed him a picture he kept in his wallet of Jinbei as a baby in his diapers n pacifier*

Tora: AWWWWWW~~~!! So cute!! *huggles his husband again* But you look cuter now

Ari: Looking good there, Jin

Jinbei: Gah~! Mama~!!

Kuro: *chuckles*

Tora: I wonder if there's anyone else pregnant like me

Jinbei: I think I overheard Tamako ka-chan saying to Karen oka-san abt being pregnant

Kuro: Oh? Tamako-san is pregnant again? I didnt knw

Tora: Who's Tamako?

Jinbei: My other mother. The rat. The one who gave birth to my half-sister Sukito

Tora: Can I meet her? Is she nice?

Jinbei: She's alright, just a little timid. C'mon *led him to Tamako* Hi, Tamako ka-chan

Tamako: *looked up at her step-son* Ah, hi, Jin-san *had a tint of blush, showing how timid she was*

Tora: Hi, Tamako-san

Tamako: H-H-Hi *blushed evn harder, then hid behind Karen*

Karen: Moh~! Tamako-chan~! I swear u still behave like a 12 yr old

Tora: *rubs his stomach, knowing the cubs won't calm down*
