Claud's Thoughts

In the middle of the night, the cubs and Yuki wake up, and the boys wait patiently for their turn in their fathers' hands.

Astri's spouses always wake up with her and help with coaxing the cubs and Yuki to sleep so Astri can sleep more because they know breastfeeding is tiring and takes a lot from her body.

Since the cubs were born, Astri lost a lot of weight and her body already looks like she didn't go through pregnancy.

She eats well to always have milk, but she's not getting fatter. On the contrary, she's thinner than before.

The next morning, Claud hears movements in the hall and his excitement comes up because he will see Astri for real again.

He washes his face to cool down, feeling like a teenager, but he's welcoming these feelings.

He goes outside and walks to the main hall, he sees Lee and Cyprian playing with the tiger cubs and Zin playing with Yuki.

Astri was making breakfast with Wayde. She notices him walking quietly to the kitchen.
