It was a warm and sunny day all over the plains and just outside the Pride lands border is where Aru lived. She lived in a nice piece of territory between the Pride lands and the Out lands with her mother even though they weren't part of the Pride Lands they weren't outsiders. Her mother still managed to feed and care for them both. Their home was perfect to Aru there were trees and long green grass everywhere there was even a lake and prey would always come to their territory to graze. Aru awoke from her afternoon nap and walked outside her home. Her and her mother lived in a large tree the tree roots were all binded and twisted together so it would be hard for any enemies to get in. Aru easily walked through the roots and climbed the tree to see if she saw any danger she didn't all she saw were some cubs playing where the green grass met the gold she then saw that huge pointy rock in the distance she always wondered what was there. Aru attention was brought back to the cubs playing in the golden grass she then quickly climbed down the tree and went to her mother who was still sleeping.

Aru: Mother wake up (licking her)

Nura: What is it Aru (yawning)

Aru: May I go outside and play mother (nuzzling her)

Nura: Of course dear (licking her face)

Aru: Thank you mother

Nura smiled to herself she knew her daughter would grow up to be a beautiful lioness just like her and grandmother. Aru had a honey colored coat with honey eyes and a black tail tuft. Aru ran outside quickly and climbed up the tree and saw the cubs were still there playing she then climbed down and walked quickly over towards them she then came to a big rock and peeked around it. She took a deep breath and slowly walked over to the playing cubs she then cleared her throat but they didn't hear her so she just walked closer and the cubs all stopped and looked at her.

Mufasa: Simba (loudly)

Aru saw a young male come out the cave he had red hair growing on top of his head and chest Aru couldn't believe her eyes the young male then walked over to her and looked directly in her eyes. Aru felt like her heart wouldn't stop beating fast so she then took a step back.

Simba: Hi Aru (smiling)

Mufasa saw this and smiled proudly

Simba: Do you want me to show you around (smiling)

Aru didn't say anything she was to stuck her tongue just went paralyzed on her

Simba and Aru walked until night came and then they walked to a hill and laid at the top of it

Aru: I'm so glad I'm here I really missed you a lot

Simba: I know I missed you to

Simba then nuzzled her and they got up and walked to a huge valley that was covered in flowers. They then ran around in the flowers laughing and playing like they were cubs again they then laid there enjoying each other's company.

Aru: This place is beautiful

Simba: It's beautiful because you're here

Aru then began to blush and Simba licked her cheek and they nuzzled each other Aru then licked Simba's head and laid her head on top of his and they fell asleep under the bright stars.

3 Days later

Aru and Simba were now betrothed to each other and were very happy. Everyone was so happy for them and congratulated them especially Nura she was very happy for her daughter. Simba and Aru snuck away from the celebration and walked to the top of Pride Rock to spend some time together.

Aru: The view is beautiful from up here (smiling)

Simba: Close your eyes

Aru closed her eyes

Simba: Okay you can open them now

Aru opened her eyes and saw Simba holding a gold bracelet she screamed and jumped on him. Simba could tell by her reaction that she was very pleased with the present.

Aru: Oh Simba it's beautiful

Simba: It took me a very long time to find this when my dad told me that we were getting betrothed I knew I had to find the perfect present for you that's why you didn't see me for a long time

Aru: Oh when did you find it?

6 Months later

Aru and Simba were now full grown adults and happily married Aru bracelet still fitted her perfectly. Mufasa was still King and happy for his son. Simba didn't want Mufasa to step down when he wanted to because Simba told him he wants to wait until the sun set on Mufasa time for him to become King. Mufasa respected his son wish and continued to rule Aru looked over to the king and saw he hadn't aged a bit not even one strand of gray in his mane he still looked young. Aru walked outside and walked down the stone steps and went and laid under Pride Rock Simba then came and joined her.

Simba: Hi dear (nuzzling her)

Aru: Hi darling (nuzzling Simba)

Aru: So when do you think we can start a family (smiling)

Simba: We can start right now (devilishly)

Aru: REALLY (happily)

Simba: Yup so what do you say? (chuckling)

Aru: Yes of course darling (rubbing her body against him)

Simba laughed and led the way to a den

Aru giggled and laid on her stomach of the floor of the den Simba then got on top of her licked her neck and gently grabbed it. He then slowly slid his penis in her and began to thrust faster and faster he then let Aru neck go and she let out a loud moan. Simba then thrusted harder inside Aru and he groaned in her ear they continued and Simba felt his climax coming and let a loud roar as he released himself inside Aru. Aru felt Simba release inside her and let out a loud moan and threw her head back. They mated all that day and fell asleep in the den being too tired to walk back to Pride Rock.

2 Months later

Aru was now showing her belly wobbled side to side as she walked down the stone steps. She then walked to the water hole and drunk her fill she then laid down to take a nap when she heard a twig snap in the grass. She quickly looked up and saw a black mane in the golden grass she suddenly turned to run when the male lion began to charge at her. She then began to scream at the top of her lungs before the male got to her Mufasa and Simba jumped in front of her and began fighting the rogue lion. Aru turned and saw the whole pride including her mother ready for battle she then walked quickly behind the pride to her mother and Sarabi.

Sarabi: All you alright dear (nuzzling Aru)

Aru: Yes I'm fine

Nura: Are you sure

Aru: Yes mother (crying)

Simba and Mufasa easily beat the rogue and he fled out of the Pride Lands like his tail was on fire. Simba then walked over to Aru

Simba: Are you ok dear? (calmly)

Aru: Yes

Simba: I want you to go back to the cave with the pride while I go patrol the borders with my father to make sure no other filthy rogues came here okay (nuzzling Aru)

Aru: Yes darling

Aru walked back to the cave with the pride she then went inside and fell asleep while the lionesses guarded the entrance until their King and Prince returned. Rafiki then came and checked on Aru he then stayed there until the King and Prince returned it was night when they did. Mufasa and Simba talked outside with Rafiki while the rest of the pride went inside to get ready for bed and check on Aru. Simba then entered the cave and laid down next to Aru he licked her and fell asleep next to her with their tails intertwined with each others. Mufasa then entered the cave and walked to his platform where Sarabi was sleeping he then looked over to Simba and Aru they were meant to be together he thought and he couldn't be prouder of his son he soon then fell asleep.

1 Month later

Aru was in labor for 2 hours and it felt like forever the pride was up with her when her water broke which was at sunrise and helping her ever since. Simba was outside the cave with Mufasa who was trying to calm his son and distract him with anything he could think of Simba was a nervous wreck he was pacing constantly. Rafiki and Zazu then showed up to congratulate Simba he stopped thanked them and continued his pacing. Aru then felt a contraction and began to scream at the top of her lungs and pushed she continued this routine for 2 more hours. Aru then felt 2 little bodies leave her and she looked down and saw two twin cubs she then cleaned them off they fed and fell asleep curled up against her belly. Sarabi then left the cave and walked to the platform below the stone steps she then approached Simba and smiled.

Sarabi: My son you have twin cubs (proudly)

Simba: REALLY (excitedly)

Sarabi: Yes my son

Simba: Thank you mother (nuzzling Sarabi)

Sarabi: Your welcome son now go see your children

Sarabi looked over to Mufasa and they walked up the stone steps to the cave with Rafiki and Zazu behind them. They then walked inside the cave Simba was laying across from Aru watching the cubs sleep. Mufasa sat next to Simba Sarabi on the other side of him also watching the cubs and Aru sleep.

Mufasa: You did excellent my son (proudly)

Simba: Thanks dad (smiling)

Simba watched the cubs closely he watched how they wiggled their nose in their sleep and their ears twitched. They then opened their eyes and looked around and began to play with each other. They both had honey colored fur and eyes with black tail tufts but one had a golden paw. Rafiki then picked them up and checked them they looked at him and pawed at him

Rafiki: A boy and girl

Simba: Which is the girl? And which is the boy?
