Hey guys! I'm back with a new story! This story begins where my previous story, Starting Over, left off. If you haven't read that story then stop and read that one first or else you won't get what's happening in this story. To all my returning readers, welcome back and I hope you had a good holiday. I don't own The Lion King. I own this story and my OC's. Now, without further ado, please enjoy the first chapter of The Two Kings!

It has been two weeks since Scar was overthrown and the two new rulers, Simba and Ajani, became kings. Slowly, the Pride Lands were returning to their former glory. The herds started to return and all seemed well. Inside the den of Pride Rock, every lion was fast asleep, except for two. The kings decided to get up early and watch the sunrise. "It seems that the Pride Lands are returning to normal," Simba stated happily.

"Yep," replied Ajani "It seems like only yesterday when we were here as cubs."

"Time sure does fly," Simba sighed.

"Hey guys," said two familiar voices behind the kings.

Simba and Ajani turned to see their longtime friends, not to mention their mates, Nala and Sapphire. "Hey Saf," Ajani said as he nuzzled his mate.

"Hey beautiful," Simba said as he nuzzled Nala.

"Hey Simba, can we talk alone?" Nala asked.

"Uh oh, someone's in trouble!" Ajani joked with his brother.

Simba playfully punched his little brother. "Sure Nala."

Simba and Nala made their way to their favorite place. It was a big tree that was beside the waterhole. But it wasn't just any tree; it was where they first met as tiny cubs. Sarabi and Sarafina, who were Simba and Nala's mothers, brought them to the waterhole one day and Nala was chasing after a butterfly. She accidently pounced on Simba as she was chasing the butterfly. After that incident, the two would never be seen without the other. The two had finally made it to the tree and sat down beside it. "Simba," Nala began, "Remember what happened in the jungle?"

Simba was clueless. "When we got into a fight?" Simba asked.

Nala shook her head. "No, it was before that. It was when we….." Nala trailed off.

"Ohhhhh," Simba said starting to get what Nala was saying. "Yeah I remember that," Simba said as he started to blush.

"Well Simba, do you remember how I wasn't feeling well after you came back?"

"Yeah, and then I told you to go to Rafiki."

"And when I went to Rafiki, he told me something very important."

"What did he tell you?" Simba asked. The suspense was killing him.

"Simba, you're going to be a father," Nala finally confessed.

Simba was stunned. "You mean…" he began.

"Yes Simba, I'm pregnant."

Simba just stared at Nala for a moment, then leaped into the air with complete joy, "WOOO HOOO!" he yelled. He then gave a roar that signaled his happiness to all of the Pride Lands. "Nala I can't believe this! I'm gonna be a dad! I'm gonna be a dad!" He went up to Nala and nuzzled her. "I gotta go tell 'Jani!" Simba said excitedly.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Nala asked happily.

Simba then ran off to tell his little brother and everyone else the good news.
