Reincarnated As A Lion In Another World-Chapter 129 : Are You Pregnant?
Suddenly, Katari and Kael heard the sound of footsteps. Someone was walking towards the cave.
Katari rolled away as Kael's dick slipped out of her vagina with a barely audible pop sound reaching their ears. A bit of white substance flowed around the entrance but neither of them seemed to be disturbed by it.
Katari and Kael finally stood up from the floor, with their movements alerting the two other humanoids sleeping inside the cave.
Eidel awoke and stood up from her own corner. The memories of the magnificent sex she had yesterday flashed through her mind causing her to pause her movements. For a while, she just sat there, replaying everything in her mind.
Nalii awoke from the vine chair she had been sleeping on, her eyes half closed as she also recalled all she had experienced the previous night.
Kael didn't disturb them yet, he waved his hand in the air and a small blue magic circle appeared and spread a blue magic wave that washed over the four of them.
Their bodies were instantly clean and the smell of sex faded away with the arrival of the morning breeze.
This was just one of the little magic tricks he had learned from N'bayé. He hadn't yet learned anything substantial that could help him out in a fight.
"Kael, we should take that water pool cave for ourselves," Nalii suddenly suggested.
Kael understood her train of thought but didn't say anything about it. Something else was on his mind, something more important.
The fact that an unknown lion race magic shuttle was currently in this world was quite worrying.
For a lion to build that type of magic shuttle and even control it, a powerful Magus Lion was needed. Not only that, the materials and knowledge needed to build such vessels were unknown to Kael.
That magic shuttle had to come from a place where they had sufficient resources and also powerful lions.
'Could it be from another world, perhaps another planet?' Kael kept on thinking as he walked toward the cave entrance.
Just then, N'bayé walked into the cave, naked as usual like all of them. Her yellow eyes scanned each of them, taking note of the troubled expression on Kael's face.
"Good morning everyone," She said. Kael, Eidel, and Nalii returned her greetings telepathically while Katari just nodded her head to acknowledge that she heard it.
N'bayé smiled, she knew what they had done yesterday night and was pleased, she didn't have to be here herself to know what happened with the four of them.
Eidel was actively avoiding eye contact with N'bayé and Nalii was still sitting on the vine chair, acting like she didn't know what was going through N'bayé's mind.
Katari was just indifferent to whatever N'bayé was thinking, she too had other things to ponder about.
'I need to be careful, I don't know how they will react to a new Primordial Lion…' Kael thought to himself.
He felt that he had to make preparations. Just because the Primordial lion was a significant being of the lion race didn't mean all lions would like him just for that. They might even see him as a threat to the status quo and take the initiative to antagonize him.
Just as Kael was preparing to leave the cave, his nose twitched. He was standing close to N'bayé and could perceive something strange from her body.
He turned his head to look at N'bayé very well, his golden eyes staring at her like she was transparent.
N'bayé raised an eyebrow at the peculiar and intense look Kael was giving him. She looked down at herself to check if there was something on her body but she didn't find anything.
Kael got closer to her, his nostrils flaring as he took in deep breaths as if he wanted to sniff away her existence.
He bent his tall body so that he could sniff her neck, chest, and her hair. N'bayé stood still through all this, waiting for Kael to tell her what was wrong while the three other humanoid women looked in with curiosity.
Finally, Kael raised his head with a confused glint in his eyes, "Are you pregnant?"
*Silence*
Kael's question was like a bomb, rattling the minds of all who heard it. For close to ten seconds, N'bayé just stared at Kael with her eyebrows furrowed but her eyes wide.
"N'bayé," Kael called out seriously, "Are you pregnant?"
N'bayé became nervous as she didn't know how to answer that question. Yes or no.
"Do I smell like I'm pregnant?" N'bayé asked with her heart filled with nervousness. There were a few reasons for her nervousness though.
She still had nine years plus to back out of the Primordial Pride contract she had with Kael. Although she had already put that out of her mind, she still liked to have options.
Pregnancy and having children with Kael would just complicate that. That was a whole different level of commitment, one that made her nervous about the future which was very much unlike her.

Another thing was that she wasn't sure about being the mother of Kael's first child. That was an honor that should be preserved for his day ones like Katari, Ruda, or Eidel.
And then raising a child in the wild was not easy at all. It required the power to protect and the ability to provide, something which she and Kael already had.
"Yes," Kael answered her bluntly. He didn't know why but the scent he was perceiving from Nalii's body told his brain that she was carrying another life inside her.
And not just any life, he could smell a little bit of himself from that tiny minuscule lifeform.
"Are you?" Kael asked again, his time coming with an edge that demanded a simple and straightforward answer.
"I don't know," N'bayé said as she calmed down. If she was indeed pregnant, then she would accept it as it was, it would be something that ensured she couldn't turn back, but it would also make sure she put all her effort into making Kael and the pride survive and thrive.
"I've been feeling different lately, as though my body is changing…" She said.
"Do you feel tired more often?" Nalii asked with her eyebrows raised in suspicion. She had had children before and was an experienced mother, so she knew what it was like to experience pregnancy.
"Yes," N'bayé answered truthfully, becoming calmer than before.
"What about your appetite?" Nalii asks again.
"It's growing, I've already eaten from yesterday's meat stash this morning because I was hungry…" N'bayé began to explain to them how she felt.
Eidel listened with laser focus, aware that she could potentially experience such things in the near future, especially now that she and Kael would now be having intercourse more often.
Katari observed this interaction with an odd calmness. If anything, she should be the most offended one, but she just stood there, soaking up the conversation.
Or perhaps, maybe she no longer had a reason to be offended. There was a slight frown on her face but it was hardly noticeable.
'For the sake of the clan,' She told herself as she reassessed her priorities.
"Well, it seems you are actually pregnant. Uhm, that's good." Nalii said feeling awkward, but as she did not see any visible aggression from Katari, she relaxed.
N'bayé also relaxed, feeling like she was understanding this black sheep of their lion pride better.
Katari was a simple person. As long as it did not affect Kael, Katari couldn't care less and might even support it if it had some benefits.
But if Kael was to be dissatisfied with the fact of N'bayé's pregnancy…
As though all of them had come to this realization, all four of the humanoid lionesses turned to look at Kael, awaiting his judgment.
N'bayé made up her mind, if Kael had even a little frown on her face, she would immediately run away. A few seconds was all it took for the current Katari to critically threaten her life.
A small rune mark lit up on N'bayé's knuckles and behind her back. She was always well-prepared for a fallout.
Kael was naturally aware of all the minor movements happening. He was aware of the magic fluctuations happening behind N'bayé, he was also aware of the spatial fluctuations occurring beside Katari.
A smile crept up his face as he found it all funny. The more he spent time with them, the more he appreciated how each of them was different from one another in their own way.
"Well, that's delightful." He said with an elated expression. He wasn't foreign to the concept of having children and had also expected it.
From his life on earth, he had one child from his second and last failed marriage. A son who could not be with his father due to custody issues, a memory to reminisce at another time.
Seeing Kael's excited expression, everyone relaxed. At least, now they felt that everything would be alright.
