She was sweating and panting hard. She looked around and saw she was in the Jade Palace. Home.
She dropped her head into her paws and trembled. Then Leon woke up.
"Shadow? What's wrong, Hon?" he asked. He looked at her and knew what had happened. "You had another one, didn't you?" Leon asked as he put his arm around her. "I haven't had that one in a long time!!!" Shadow said, trying to hold back the tear's. "It's alright, Shadow!!! He's gone!!! Locked away in Chor Ghom Prison. He's not coming back!!!" Leon reassured her. "But what if he does? He'll come after you and the kids!!! I just know it!!!!" Shadow said as a tear slipped down her face. Leon quickly wiped it away. "Hey... Don't cry. This is a time to be happy. Our kids are turning ten tomorrow!!!" Leon said, trying to cheer her up. She smiled at the thought. "Come on... We need to get to sleep. You know how the kids are. Always up early!!!!" Leon said. So they both went back to sleep.
The next morning...
"MAMA!!!! DADDY!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!!!" Silver and Blaze yelled as they ran into their room and jumped on the bed. Shadow and Leon both groaned. "Morning already?" Shadow said with a smile.
"You know, Hon. I think that today is really special... But I just can't think of what it is!!!" Leon said with a grin. "It's our BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!" Silver and Blaze both cried out happily. "Oh yeah! That's it!!!? Leon said. "Come on!!! Get up!!!" Silver said pulling on Shadow's arms. "Yeah! Get up!!!" Blaze said pulling Leon's arms. They finally got up. And the kids ran off to find the others. "They grow up so fast..." Shadow said thoughtfully. "Yeah... Come on! We better go catch up with them!!!" Leon said as he and Shadow ran after the kids. They found them bugging Po. Or was it the other way round? They could never tell.
"So how's it feel being ten?" Po asked when he stopped tickling them. "It's great!!!" Blaze said. "Yeah! I love being ten!!!" Silver said with a smile.
"If you like being ten. Just wait until your party!!!" Shadow said, when she and Leon caught up with them.
"A PARTY!?!" Silver and Blaze cried happily, as they jumped up and down. "Yeah!!! And now uncle Po is going to take you into town while daddy and I get the party ready!" Shadow laughed. "Let's go!!!" Po said.
So he and the kids headed into town. "Let's go get the party ready!!!" Leon said. So he and Shadow headed off to set it up while Po took the kids into town.
"So (pant) what do (pant) you want (pant) to do?" Po asked when they got into town. You see, the kids were very fast like their parents.
"The toy cart!!!!!" They both cried. And ran off. Again... "(sigh) WAIT FOR ME!!!!!!" Po yelled, as he took off after them. "Boy their fast..." Po thought when he finally caught up. "Just like Shadow and Leon!".
Location. Chor Ghom Prison...
"Soon I will return. Soon the Valley of Peace will fall. And I will the ruler. Just like it was meant to be..." Tanis thought as he walked though the many hall's of the prison. "Yo, Tanis!!!" one of the inmates yelled.
Tanis nodded his head towards him. "I've made so many "friends" here. It's nice to be noticed!!!" he thought with a smile. "There you are. Come on!!! It's time for dinner!!!" a guard yelled as he pushed Tanis back to his cell and set his dinner down.
"Yes... Soon the Valley of Peace will fall. And I'll have those awful Tiger's!!!! And their precious children too!!!" Tanis thought happily as he ate his dinner...

The year's seemed to fly by as the kids grew. They really were like their parents...
When they were three. Shadow and Leon found out they had inherited their powers. Silver had both Shadow and Leon's powers. Water and Wind. Blaze had her aunt's powers. Fire. She was just like her father and aunt as well. Hard core. But sweet when you got to know her.
Silver, who looked like Shadow, wore a blue short sleeved shirt. With white on it, like the water and wind.
Blaze, who looked like Leon, wore a red vest. With orange on it, like fire.
Silver and Blaze almost never argued. Almost being the key word.
You see, Blaze was one hundred percent sure that aunt Tigress was in love with Po.
Silver wasn't so sure. He was sure she was in love with someone, but he wasn't so sure it was Po.
That was about the only thing they would argue about. Their favorite thing to do together (other then Kung Fu. Mom and dad are teaching them). Is playing trick's. At the moment, they were trying to scare Shifu. They would use Shadow's go to move, Shadow Escape, to sneak up on him. Then they would jump out, but he was always ready for them. "Come on, uncle Shifu!!!" Blaze complained. "Yeah!!! What's it gonna take to scare you!?!" Silver asked. "You think I'm going to tell you? You'll have to figure that out yourselves!!!" Shifu said with a smile. Then he walked away.
"I think we should give up on this one, Silver! Let's go to my idea!!!" Blaze said. "No! We never turn back. Just like mom!!! We don't give up. Anyways... I don't want to trick aunt Tigress into spilling her secret love. I'd rather test my skills on scaring uncle Shifu!!!" Silver said. "Unh... Fine!!!". The year's still seemed to fly by. Until it was the night before their tenth birthday.
Everyone was fast asleep in their beds. Silver and Blaze were in their room across from Shadow and Leon, right next to Po. Everybody was sleeping well. Except for Shadow. She was dreaming. And it wasn't good.
She saw herself running. Running from the one person who could strike fear into Tigress. Master Tanis...
"MAMA!!!!!" Silver and Blaze cried in fear. "SHADOW!!!! HELP!!!!!" Leon yelled. She turned to see them in cage's. she ran to them as fast as she could. But when she got to them, they disappeared.
"NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" Shadow cried, falling to her knee's. She had lost them. "HAHAHAHA!!!!!!" Tanis laughed evilly as he lunged at Shadow. She tried to fight, but it was not use. "It's over, Shadow!!!" Tanis said with a smile. "NOOOO!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!" Shadow screamed as she sat straight up in bed.

A few hours later...
Our heroes waited in the hall. They watched Leon pace up and down. They listen as Shadow groaned in pain. "Leon... you need to stop pacing!" Shifu said. "Yeah! At this rate you'll make a hole in the floor!!!" Po joked. But Leon wasn't listening. Then they heard Tigress talking to Shadow.
"Come on, Shadow! You can do it!" "Ahhhh!!!!!" Shadow cried.
Leon stared at the door in worry. Then they heard a soft cry. And the doctor walked out.
"Congratulations... it's a boy!!!" the doctor said with a smile.
They all started talking and hugging each other. Then Tigress burst though the door.
"Doctor!!! Something's wrong!!! Come quick!!!" Tigress cried, then she and the doctor ran back inside.
They all looked at each other in worry. They heard Shadow. She sounded like she was in pain.
Then silence...
The doctor walked out. And Leon asked the question they all had be wondering.
"Are they alright? Shadow and the baby?". The doctor shook his head. Leon felt sick.
Then the doctor smiled. "Not baby... BABY'S!!! Your wife had twins!!!" the doctor said with a smile.
Leon looked to his friends and smiled. "Go in. I'm sure your Shadow will be happy to see you!" Shifu said.
So Leon walked inside. He saw Shadow, holding two little bundles. Tigress was standing next to the proud mother. She saw Leon and smiled. "I'll leave you two alone..." Tigress whispered to Shadow and walked off. She smiled at Leon when she went past him.
"Come and say hello to your kids Leon... don't worry! They won't bite. At least not yet!" Shadow said as she smiled at the little ones. Leon quietly made his way over to them.
"Their wonderful..." Leon whispered as he knelt down next to them. "A boy and a girl. What should we name them?" He asked "Silver and Blaze..." Shadow whispered.
The boy... Silver. Was a White Tiger. Just like his mom. He had Blue eyes just like her.
The girl... Blaze. Was a Orange Tiger. Just like her dad. She had Gold eyes just like him.
"Silver and Blaze... there perfect name's!!! Just like them. And just like you!!!" Leon said as he gave Shadow a kiss. She smiled at him.
Pretty soon the other's were poking their heads in. Leon and Shadow smiled at them. Then at the children. "Come on in... Say hello to your niece and nephew, everyone!" Shadow said. The other?s quietly walked in and smiled at the two new borns...

Leon helped Shadow to the bedrooms and walked into one that was vacant. Then he helped her lie down.
"Unh... Thanks Le!" Shadow said. (quick note... Shadow sometimes call's Leon, Le).
"Are you sure you're ok?" Leon asked. He was worried, just like a soon to be dad, should be.
"Yeah... I'll be fine. Don't you worry one bit!" Shadow reassured him.
Just then, Shifu and the doctor ran in. "Here she is..." Shifu said pointing to Shadow. The doctor shook his head and walked over to Shadow.
"Go on... Out with you! Both of you!!!" He said, pushing Shifu and Leon out the door. Leon wasn't so sure.
"Your wife will be just fine. But I will need some help. Shifu, will you please go find Master Tigress!" The doctor said as he shut the door. Shifu shook his head and ran off to find her.
He found our heroes in the Training Hall. "Tigress!!!!!" Shifu yelled running into the Training Hall.
"Master Shifu!!! What's wrong!?!" Tigress asked running over to him. "Nothing's wrong!!! But I need you to come with me. In fact... All of you can come. I'm sure Leon will be glad to have you around!!!" Shifu said as he walked out the door. They looked at each other. Did he just say Leon?
"Leon and Shadow are here!?!" Tigress asked happily as she and the other's ran to catch up with him.
"Yes!" Shifu replied. "Then why didn't you come and tell us?" Po asked. "Because... Leon told me to go and fetch a doctor for Shadow!" Shifu said. "Doctor? What happened!?!" Tigress asked. Becoming worried. "Shadow's having a baby!!! And the doctor need's your help, Tigress! And I'm sure Shadow will be happy to have you by her side!" Shifu explained. "A baby!?!" they all cried happily and hurried off.
"Leon!!! Congratulations!!!!!!" Tigress cried as she ran to hug her brother.
"There you are. It's about time, Shifu!!! Master Tigress. I think your friend need"s you!? the doctor said.
Tigress shook her head and walked in with the doctor.
Tigress could see that Shadow was hurting. But she smiled when she saw Tigress.
"Hey... long time.... no see!" Shadow said. "Oh... I've missed you so much. Why didn't you tell us you were having a baby?" Tigress asked after she hugged her friend.
"I didn't want to get your hopes up if something had happened. I was afraid I might lose it, because of my sickness..." Shadow explained. "It's ok... I understand!" Tigress said as she put a paw on her friend's shoulder. "Master Tigress... I need you to stand by Shadow. Try to keep her calm, alright!" The doctor said, getting his things ready. "Alright..." Tigress said, getting where she should be.

Hi guy's!!!! Real quick note. If you haven't read my other story. Then this one might be confusing. So go read my other story! Then come back!!!

Chapter one. Returning to the Jade Palace.

Six months had past since Leon and Shadow had left the Jade Palace.
"Hey everybody!!!! Look what I got!!!!" Tigress yelled as she ran into the Training Hall.
"What is it!?!" Po asked. "Yes! What do you have, Tigress?" Shifu asked, walking over to her.
"It's a letter! From Shadow and Leon!!!" Tigress cried happily.
"Well... what are you waiting for? Read it!!!" Viper said. Tigress shook her head happily
"Ok!!! Dear Friends... how are you? Leon and I are doing just fine! We were able to find all of our friends and they joined us in restoring the valley! I miss you all very much!!! And can't wait to see you. Speaking of which!!! We will be returning to the Jade Palace in about three months!!! I can't wait to see you all!!! Oh and Leon says hi! He would have written to you as well. But he's busy. I'm afraid I must go. I can't wait to see you all. And I'm sorry I haven't written to you until now. We just got the messengers to stop by here! But I will see you all very soon! Your loving friends... ~Shadow and Leon!!!". Tigress said, finishing the letter.
"I'm SO glad their coming home!!!" Viper said. "Yeah!!! Hey! We should have a party!!!" Po said excitedly. "Panda... their not coming back for three more months!" Shifu said. Though he was smiling.
Po just frowned and started to whimper.
"(sigh) all right. You can have a party!" Shifu said. "Just keep it down!".
"YES!!!!! Party time!!!!" Po said as he started to dance around.
Tigress smiled. It would be so good to see them again.
Later that day. Po and the others had just finished their party and were cleaning up.
"TIGRESS!!!!!" Shifu yelled.
"Wow! He sound's mad!!!" Mantis said. "Yeah!!! What did you do, Tigress?" Monkey asked.
Tigress just shrugged her shoulders. "Guess I'll go see what he wants!!!".
Though she knew what Shifu wanted.
Tigress ran down to the lake. And there was Shifu. "Master Shifu!" Tigress said, bowing to him.
"Tigress... it's you and me now!" Shifu said. "What are we going to do today, father?" Tigress asked.
WAIT!!!! Father!?! That's right readers. After Shadow and Leon left. Shifu told Tigress that they should spend more time together. So almost everyday. They would meet down by the lake and spend time with each other. Just father and daughter.
"I thought we would just sit and mediate today..." Shifu said. Tigress smiled and sat down next to him.
Finally. It was time for dinner. "Thank you, Master Shifu!" Tigress said, bowing.
"No... thank you!" Shifu said, bowing as well. Then they walked to the Jade Palace.
The days turned into weeks. And the weeks turned into months. When finally the day came for Leon and Shadow to return to the Jade Palace.
They packed very little. For they knew if they packed light they could move quicker.
Which meant they would see their friends faster.
"You ready, Hon?" Leon asked. Walking into their hut.
"Yeah! Just give me a minute!" Shadow said getting up from the bed. Leon shook his head and walked out.
Shadow started to walk outside. But then she started to shake a little.
"Oh, come on!" she thought "I don't need this now!". But then she stopped shaking.
She sighed in relief, then walked outside.
"Good bye!!!" They both yelled as they left the valley.
"I'm going to miss that place..." Leon said sadly. "Well... we could always visit!" Shadow suggested.
Leon smiled. "You're always thinking!!!" He said as he gave her a hug.
They walked for what seemed to be forever. When they finally made to the Valley of Peace.
"We made it!" Shadow said as they walked into town. They were about half way to the Jade Palace when Shadow suddenly stopped. One paw flew to her stomach.
"Shadow? What's wrong?" Leon asked. Becoming worried.
"I think we need to get to the Jade Palace. Right now!" Shadow said, as she started to pant.
"Why?" Leon asked. Shadow looked up at him. "It's time..." she said with a smile. Leon shook his head and helped her to the Jade Palace.
They finally made it up the steps. And into the Palace. Where they saw Shifu walking past.
"Master Shifu!!!" Leon yelled. "Leon! Shadow! We didn't think you would be here so soon!" Shifu said.
"Ahhh!!!! Can we save the family reunion for later!?!" Shadow asked as she clung to Leon for support.
"What's wrong!?!" Shifu asked. Walking over to them.
"Shifu! Go and fetch a doctor!!!" Leon said as he helped Shadow to the bedrooms.
Shifu looked at him. Not understanding. "Why? What's wrong?" he asked.
"Shadow's going to have a baby!!!" Leon said happily.
Shifu stood there for a moment. Then ran off as fast as he could...
