<Seven Months Later>

	"Good, good!  Double-check those knots one more time!" barked the ever-shirtless Moro, waving his hands with encouragement toward the newly-named Runestorm Tribe.  The tall tauren slowly waded through the growing tribe as they loaded a pack of kodos with every fur and crumb they had.  It would be a very long trip overseas to Highmountain -a trip they'd been preparing for months- and it was imperative that they didn't lose a thing.  His dark-furred head looked this way and that, stopping to fixate upon one of the few tents not yet taken down.  A small smile crossed his face as he lifted the flap and entered to find Ja'na laying on her side beneath a pile of furs, still fast asleep.  "Hey," he murmured quietly and ran a gentle finger over her cheek.  "We probably need to get moving soon, darling."

	"Mmmmraaaaagh," she groaned and flopped a bare arm out of the pile grumpily.  "Must we?"

	Moro chuckled and took a seat next to her.  "We must, lest we be left behind."

	The fur pile shifted and fell to either side as Ja'na uprighted her naked body, yawning and stretching her arms above her head gracefully.  She groaned a second time as one of her hands tenderly touched down over her heavily-swollen belly.  It wasn't that much larger than it had been, but it was definitely much rounder and firmer than before.  Likewise, her areolae had grown a much darker pink, while her nipples and areolae had grown larger along with the heft of her impressive, milk-filled breasts.  She looked up at her brother with a wry smile as she playfully punched his hip.  "You dare wake your life-mate so soon, even while she's carrying your child?"

	"It is the way of our people," he lamented and drew her tenderly into his arms.  "We will be in Highmountain before the little one's done baking."

	Ja'na laughed softly.  "Well, as long as I can keep blaming you for how uncomfortable it is to travel with an extra forty pounds in my gut, I guess I'll be happy."

	Moro's ears drooped a bit at this.  "You don't really...."

	His trailed off words were silenced by a tender kiss and a genuine smile from Ja'na.  "Of course not.  If you'll remember, I [i]begged[/i] for it, and... we're lucky that things turned out okay.  I'm happy to have met you, brother... especially like we did."

	"As I am with you, sister," he cocked back teasingly before kissing her yet again.

	Their tender moment was cut short by the flap of their tent opening once more, revealing the long-horned head of Karon.  "You two coming?  The quicker we leave, the more daylight we'll have to make it to Orgrimmar."

	"We're coming, Daddy," Ja'na assured him with a smile.  "Tell mom we'll only be a few more minutes."

	"Just a few, right?" Karon followed, clearly looking a bit nervous.

	"[i]Yes[/i], I'll make sure of it," Moro added with a chuckle.

	"Okay... okay..." Karon breathed and let the flap close.  He, too, wore only his chieftain's loincloth as he strode away from the prince and princess' tent, stopping next to a wooden wagon strapped to the largest kodo in the pack.  "Few more minutes.  Moro promised."

	The benevolent Lavona looked over at her life-mate with one of her trademark, knowing smiles.  "Well, we're not leaving them alone again after last time.  Take their tent down yourself if you must."

	An almost unheard sound before recent times, Karon let out a small chuckle of amusement.  "Since when have you ever asked me to do anything for you?  You've always prided yourself on your self-sustenance."

	Lavona returned his laugh and adjusted herself in a specially-made seat in the wagon specifically to accommodate the chieftain and her newly-grown, modestly-sized belly.  Her toned abdomen had grown softer through her pregnancy, and the massive breasts that already forced her to keep her back in shape were now too large for even her ceremonial beads to grant her modesty... not that she really cared.  "Perhaps, but even [i]I[/i] know my limitations in this state."

	"Even if you were not limited, I won't allow you to take even one unnecessary hoofstep," he assured her as he clambered into the wagon next to her to wrap her in a tender embrace.  "But, I will feel much better once we're far away from here.  Father will no longer be hovering over our shoulders."

	"Mmh," she murmured in agreement.  "I wish things could be different, but he never even tried to understand us."

	"His loss," Karon returned softly.  "Soon, we will have a new home for our tribe in the mountains.  We'll build new, large homes for us, Ja'na, Moro, and our new little ones."  One hand tenderly reached down to touch Lavona's belly, smiling all the while.  "And we'll do it together this time."

	Lavona beamed happily at her brother and melted into his embrace with a happy sigh.  "I can't wait."
