An Unexpected Surprise 2: Rise From the Ashes

Ch 1 New Life

It had been nearly a year since Kiara's return. During this time she and her mate, Kovu had been blessed with a son named Chaka. Kiara's parents, Simba and Nala decided to hand the throne to Kiara and Kovu since they had a child now. Although the young couple was nervous they knew they would have help form Kiara's younger brother, Kali and Kopa and their mates Cala and Jasiri. But as it turned out the two younger Princes were not able to help as much as they would like to have. Two weeks ago Jasiri and had given birth to a daughter, who her and Kali named Furaha. Furaha had her mother's rusty brown coat and her father's blue eyes. Kopa and Cala were also expecting a cub any day now. Well make that any minute now. Earlier that day Cala had gone into labor and Kopa was outside the birthing cave pacing with his family waiting with him. Kiara, Nala and Cala's twin sister mother, Hera were all in the cave helping the golden brown lioness through the labor. Just then Kali approached his brother along with Simba. "Hey there bro nervous?" Kali asked with a smile as he sat beside his creamy coated brother.

"I feel like I'm gonna explode Kal'," Kopa said as he got up and began to pace. "I mean who knew it took so long for a cub to be born?"

"Oh Kop'," Kali said with a laugh. "Don't you remember when Furaha was born? It took almost all day for her to be born."

"Son I know it's hard," Simba said putting his paw on his youngest son's shoulder.

"No Dad you don't know how hard this is," Kopa said roughly pulling away and pacing again.

"Son I've been where you are," Simba said. "I remember when Kiara was born. I was a nervous wreak. But everything turned out fine. Just like everything turned out fine when Chaka was born and when Furaha was born. Trust me son Cala and your cub will be just fine."

"I hope you're right Dad," Kopa muttered. Just then Kovu came on the scene. When he saw his creamy coated brother-in-law the brown lion gave him a smile. But before Kovu could say anything Chaka came racing on the scene along with his friends, Safara and Colo. Safara was Vitani's daughter and she had a sandy brown coat and blue eyes. She was four months old. Colo was Jasiri's twin brother, Leo and his mate Hera's three month old son. He had his father's light brown coat and his mother's dark green eyes. Even though Chaka was six months old he didn't mind hanging out with his cousin and her friend. But the cubs' fun was short live when Kovu put a paw on his son's tail, stopping him dead in his tracks.

"Ah Dad why'd you do that?" Chaka asked, his voice almost a whine.

"I don't want you cubs making so much noise," Kovu said. "This is the nursery cave and I happen to know Jasiri has just gotten Furaha to sleep so keep it down."

"But Uncle Kovu we were having fun," Safara protested.

"Safara don't argue with your Uncle," Vitani said emerging from the birthing cave. When Kopa saw the tan lioness he stopped pacing and stared at her. "Sorry Kopa nothing yet," Vitani said. Kopa let out a grunt and went back to his pacing. "Come on Safara its time for your bath anyways," Vitani said scooping her daughter up and carrying her away.

"Ugh this waiting is killing me!" Kopa exclaimed.

"Said every lion who has had a cub," Kovu said. This earned chuckles from Simba and Kali and a glare from Kopa. Chaka and Colo just stared both cubs confused as to what was going on. "Sorry kid," Kovu said with a grin.

"Glad you're getting so much amusement out of this," Kopa grumbled. Kovu opened his mouth to say something when Nala and Kiara emerged from the birthing cave. "Mom Kiara," Kopa said running up to his mother and sister. "What's going on?" he continued. "Is Cala ok? Is the cub here? What.."

"My goodness Kopa slow down honey," Nala said with a smile. "Cala is just fine. And so is your cub."

"The cub's here?!" Kopa said, almost shouting.

"Yes," Kiara said with a smile of her own. "Congratulations little brother you have a son."

"It's a boy?" Kopa asked. Kiara and Nala both nodded and Kopa's amber eyes went wide. "It's a boy!" he cried out. "I have a son!" With that Kopa embraced Nala and Kiara. Then he ran over to Simba and Kali and embraced them as well.

"I'm so happy for you son," Simba said with a smile.

"Yeah same here bro," Kali said.

"Thanks guys," Kopa said, the smile never leaving his face. "C'mon lets go see them." With that the Royal Family went inside the cave to see the newest Prince.

TLKTLKTLK

As Kopa and his family entered the cave everyone stayed back so Kopa could see his son. Cala was laying in the middle of the cave holding a golden brown cub in her paws. When she saw Kopa her light green eyes lit up and she smiled big at him. Kopa gave his mate a loving nuzzle and whispered, "I'm so proud of you."

"Isn't he perfect?" Cala whispered, giving her son's head a lick.

"That he is," Kopa said, giving his son a nuzzle. "Hello there my little one. I'm your Daddy." Just then the rest of the group joined Kopa and Cala. "Meet the newest member of the family," Kopa said. "Kion."

"I love the name," Kiara said, bending down and giving her nephew a nuzzle. "And I love you already Kion," she cooed.

"He's a very handsome boy," Simba said also giving Kion a nuzzle.

"My feelings exactly," Kali said giving Kion a lick. When Kion felt his uncle's touch he sniffed the air and wrapped his paws around Kali's muzzle. "Hey I think the kid likes me," the golden Prince said with a grin.

"Can you really blame him?" Jasiri said from her place next to Cala. Jasiri was holding a sleeping Furaha in her paws. Kali smiled at his mate and layed down beside her and pulled his daughter close.

"I think my new nephew is a hit," Hera said with a smile.

"Can I see my new cousin?" Chaka asked.

"Sure you can buddy," Kopa said. With that Chaka bounded up and sat beside Cala with his paws on her foreleg.

"He's so little," Chaka whispered.

"You were that little once too," Kiara said putting her paw around her son. Chaka didn't respond. Instead the little brown cub gently nuzzled his new cousin, who purred in response.

"What's so special about him anyways?" Colo asked.

"Yeah," another cub said. "It's not like he's the heir or anything."

"Ah you're just jealous Kuoko," Safara said coming onto the scene.

"I am not," Kuoko said, her light brown eyes flashing with anger. "I just don't get why everyone's fussing all over him."

"Yeah me either," Colo said.

"Because he's new," Safara said. "All new cubs get fussed over. Furaha did when she was born. And you did too Colo. And so did you Kuoko."

"How do you know?" Kuoko asked.

"Because I remember," Safara said, rolling her blue eyes at the dusty orange cub. "I'm older than you two remember?"

"Yeah by a month," Kuoko said.

"C'mon Kuoko lets get away from her," Colo said, narrowing his green eyes at Safara. "She's getting on my nerves." With that the light brown cub and his dusty orange friend left, leaving Safara by herself. But the sandy brown cub wasn't alone for long. She was soon joined by a cub with black coat and dark red eyes. This was Safara's adoptive brother, Nash. He had been taken in by Vitani about a month ago when he was found abandoned and half dead. He couldn't remember much about where he came from. The only thing he knew was his name and that he was five months old.

"Hey there Saf' what cha doin'?" Nash said, sitting beside his sister.

"Nothin'," Safara said with a grunt. "Colo and Kuoko were pestering me again."

"Ah who cares?" Nash said waving his paw. "There a couple a babies anyways"

"Tell me about it," Safara muttered. Just then Vitani approached her children looking none to happy.

"Safara have you been being mean to Colo and Kuoko again?" the tan lioness asked.

"No Mom I haven't," Safara said, surprised at her mother's accusation.

"Well Hera and Yoki just told me that their cubs told them you were bulling them," Vitani stated.

"I wasn't!" Safara shouted.

"Young lioness you watch you're tone!" Vitani said sharply. "Now I've warned you what would happen if you continued to bother the younger cubs."

"Bu Mom I didn't..." Safara began.

"I don't want to hear any excuses Safara!" Vitani scolded.

"But Mom she really didn't do anything," Nash said. "Colo and Kuoko were bothering her."

"Did you see that Nash?" Vitani asked, looking at her son.

"Well no," Nash admitted. "But.."

"So then you can't verify what really happened can you?" Vitani asked. Nash merely shook his head.

"So you're just going to assume the worst about me?!" Safara shouted, outraged at her mother's attitude.

"Safara you will not shout at me," Vitani said roughly. "Especially not it the nursery cave. Go to our cave and we'll discuss your punishment." Safara opened her mouth to protest but then thought better of it. Instead the sandy brown cub exited the cave, with her ears pinned to her head.

"Come Nash," Vitani said picking her son up by his scruff. "Bath time." With that Vitani carried her son away not knowing her daughter had not gone to the other cave. Instead she ran down the side of Priderock and out into the Pridelands not knowing the dangers she was about to face.
