"Father," the young male lion grabbed Scar attention. "Mother cub has finally came out! It's born!"

"So," Scar is unamused.

"Don't you want to know if it's a boy or girl? It's your cub, father."

"Kovu, incase you don't know, we have too many mouths to feed. Every time a cub is born, there's less chances for everyone to get their meals. So, why should I care if I have another cub?"

"Father, please. You'd been there when Azra, Vitani, and I were born. Why don't you want to see it?" Scar look away from his son and didn't respond. "I will go and see if it's my brother or sister. I hope you will be there to see it."

When Kovu left his father alone, he headed to his family cave. He spotted his two sisters by their mother side. He smiled when he found the little cub in it mother paws.

"Kovu," Zira called her son as he' headed to her side. "You're just in time to meet your little brother."

"I-I have a brother," Kovu surprised. "I always wanted to have a little brother."

"I thought he would be the same size like when we were born," Vitani confused. "Why is this one so tiny?"

"He is really small and thin," Azra agreed.

"The main point is that he survives," Zira addressed to her children. "He will also grow and become a strong lion one day!"

"You're right, mother," Kovu agreed. "What do you want to name him?"

"How about… Nuka. Yes… that's the perfect name for him."

"Let's hope father will be happy to see him," Azra worried about her father.

"So… it's a boy."

When they turned their attention to the speaker, they immediately spotted Scar entering the cave. Kovu formed a smile when he saw his father, believing that he really cared for his children. "Ah, Scar," Zira excited to see her husband. "Say hello to your newborn son!"

Scar drawn closer to his newborn son and examine him. When he drawn his head away from Nuka, his face was unamused. "What is this," he demanded.

"Why, Scar," Zira laughed. "This is your newborn son!"

"This… thing can't be my new son! He's the smallest, weakest, and most pathetic cub I have ever seen!" His harsh words shocked his family.

"But… he'll grow up! He'll make you proud-"

"I'll never be proud of this thing! He will grow up and become a disappointment. I refuse to accept this thing as my son!"

When Scar stormed out of the cave, Zira lowered her head in disappointment. Azra and Vitani were hurt by their father harsh words towards their new brother. Kovu was speechless from his father attitude towards Nuka. "Mother," he comforted his mother, "you know that father didn't mean any of that. He's just upset about-"

"No, Kovu," she cut her son off. "Your father is right." She removed her paws away from the cub and exiting the cave. "He is weak."

When Zira abandon her newborn son, the little cub began crying. Azra stepped forward and comforted her baby brother by wrapping her paws around him. Kovu and Vitani joined their sister and lay next to Nuka. The little newborn cub began nuzzling on his older sister paw.

"Hi, little Nuka," Azra spoke to her baby brother softly. "My name is Azra. I'm your sister. These are your brother and sister as well. Kovu and Vitani."

"Ha, little guy," Vitani gently patted her little brother head. "It's your sister, Vitani. Aren't you the cutest little brother I've ever seen?!"

"Hi, Nuka," Kovu said nervously, afraid that his baby brother would be after of him. "I'm Kovu, your only brother. I… I'm really happy to have a baby brother."

Then, Nuka began to crawl towards his brother voice and lick his paw, causing Kovu to giggle. Kovu drawn his baby brother closer to his face and began nuzzling him. "Don't worry, Nuka. We will take good care. If you can't relied on mother and father, then you can always come to us."
