Years after Kovu and Kiara became a couple after having a son they try for another one, but Kiara doesn't make it through the pregnancy. The youngest prince Kosa now has to deal with the bad reputation it got from his birth, an evil older brother, and father that can't even stand to look at his son. Even all that is the least of his problems.

All the animals chanted as they gathered around Pride Rock to see and honor the new-born baby of the lions that ruled over them. It was not soon before every creature within the Pride lands from the tallest of animals, the giraffe, to the smallest meerkat encompassed the mighty rock where the wise baboon Rafiki walked slowly across the mighty long narrow rock with the youngest cub of the royal family. The little cub was a dark sandy yellow color with bright green eyes. This cub ceremony was different from usual the atmosphere that hung over the animals of the pride lands weren't very joyous because they had just gotten over mourning for the cub's mother Kiara, who died during child-birth. As Rafiki held out the little playful cub for all to see and the animals forced themselves to cheer to express respect to the royal family. But they weren't the only ones struggling to show joy at this special occasion, so was the royal family themselves especially the little cubs father the lost of his lioness had hit him hard to the point he could barely even stand the sight of his newest child, the child who took his precious Kiara away.

"Why are we even having a royal ceremony for him, anyway?" the young cub's elder brother, Kiara's first-born, asked his father in a whisper as they stood near the cave opening to Pride Rock, along with Simba and his lioness, Nala. With a heavy sigh Kovu looked upon the young lean and powerful lion who had the reddish fur that resembled Scar's, Kovu's dark green eyes, and his dark brown mane that was starting to grow. For moments he remained silent just looking at his eldest son with mournful eyes as he understood where Giza was coming from for his new-born son Kosa was the why reason the Pride no longer had a queen, why he no longer had a wife, and Giza no longer had a mother. This was how she would have wanted it.

"Listen son, when your mother was pregnant with Kosa, she knew she would not be able to make it through the pregnancy. We cannot blame for what has happened for your mother was will to continue the circle of life even that meant…"

"Father that's not how you really feel, is it now?"

"It will be what I have to feel," Kovu replied with a hard voice as he turned back to watch the ending of the ceremony. Although Kovu was ready to accept the cub into the family for the sake of his beloved wife, but Giza on the other hand that was another story that will soon unfold as he glared at the pale yellow cub with gleaming sky blue eyes.
