hand of humans.
Almost as if she sensed she was going to be all right, Ginger went into hard labor. The first cub born was a golden one. It was beautiful to look at, and Ginger cleaned her up as soon as she was put back to her body.
The second cub, also a female, was born golden. Kylan was so happy he wanted to take them all home with him and raise them with Ginger. The momma was doing just fine too. Her natural instincts kicked in right away, and she made sure they were both warm and snuggled close to her.
When the third cub came out, the fourth one was right behind him. The two black tigers drew a lot of attention from the people around Ginger. She thanked Kylan several times as he helped with the clean up around her. Her paw on his arm was comforting to him, but he also knew it might well alarm the others around him.
You’ve given me such a great gift, my lord. He said it was his pleasure to do so. Will they take them from me now? I cannot bear being parted from them after having them so close to me.
I’m to understand you’ll remain in this room with them for the next few days. After that, you and your cubs will be put in a holding area so you can show off your children to the public. There will be a great many humans here to see such a rare thing as the blacks. Ginger thanked him several times as the cubs were weighed and measured for the records. They’re trying to figure out names for them. Is there anything you’d like to have one of them called? Because I was here, they’re allowing me to name one of them.
Sultan. He loved the name and asked if they could call one of the black tigers the name. They, too, thought it was a perfect name for one of them. You have done so much for me, my lord—more than I ever expected when I was told to reach out to you. I have my babies here with me. My black tigers too. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Kylan spent the day at the zoo. It was a lovely place. The animals seemed to be well cared for. He spent some time with Arnold and was glad for that. He was a good man and would do just about anything for the cats he was in charge of. When it was time for him to leave, Kylan did something he rarely did. He gave the other man not only his email address so that he could send him pictures of the cats, but also his cell number in the event there was a problem.
Staying at the hotel for the night, he treated himself to a nice dinner before going to bed. Even with the time difference, he was ready to go to bed on his hours. Lying on the bed, thinking about the times he’d done this very thing, helped out tigers by making them somewhat famous, he wondered if it would be a job for him to do for the rest of his days. It was something he enjoyed over any other job he’d done over the years. He told Fisher what he’d been up to.
We’ve never had two black cubs born at the same time. Why this time? He explained to his brother what had happened to Ginger before being taken to the zoo. You did right then. She needed something to make her special. And that was perfect. The fact that they might never know who the father was or his lineage will make it all the more special. They’ll be looking for years on how this happened. Not to mention the zoo getting more visitors.
They have this camera set up so people can keep an eye on the cubs and mom all the time. They’d done it for the local schools, but now everyone is pulling it up to watch. With them having two black cubs, it might break the Internet. They both laughed. I was going to ask you to go with me, but I figured with you having a mate now, you’d be too busy.
I would have gone too. Piper is working on a code for a business. She’s already gone to the company and told them about their Internet use. I think she told me more than half the time spent on
