Chapter 2 Telling Simba the News.

Later that day Kiara and Nala were walking towards Pride Rock still talking about the new addition they saw Simba and Kovu heading back in the same direction talking away.

"Hey what have you guys been up to?" Kiara asked after greeting her mate.

"Simba has been showing me the whole kingdom," Kovu said, with a smile. "He's also been teaching me how to deal with the herds if there is a problem. He's a really good teacher. I've really been learning a lot."

"He's a really quick learner," Simba said looking at his son-in-law with pride.

"I could have told you that," Kiara said nuzzling her mate proudly.

"Um Kiara, Kovu would you mind if I talked to Simba alone?" Nala asked.

"Sure Mom," Kiara said winking at her mom. "Come on Kovu lets go for a walk." With that the two lions left. After they were walking for a while in silence Kiara let a small giggle. Kovu asked "What was that about?"

"Nothing," Kiara said with a giggle.

"Oh come on Kiara I know you know so you may as well tell me."

"I can't Kovu I promised I wouldn't tell anyone not even you."

"So it's something big then," Kovu mused. "Kiara come on you know you can trust me. Pleeeeese." Kovu begged.

"Kovu please quit begging it's pathetic," Kiara said rolling her eyes.

"OK fine don't tell me I don't care anyways," Kovu declared walking faster.

"Fine I'll tell you but only because if I don't I'll burst," Kiara said giving in.

"Great!" Kovu exclaimed running back to his mate.

"Ok but you gotta promise that you won't tell anyone not even Vitani," Kiara said her amber eyes showing that she was very serious.

"Promise cross my heart," Kovu said crossing a claw over his heart.

"OK then. Well you know how my mom hasn't been feeling well lately?"

"Yeah."

"Well she went to see Rafiki. And you'll never guess what he told her," Kiara continued barely able to control her excitement.

"Well don't keep me in suspense what did he tell her," Kovu asked his voice rising with excitement.

"He told her that she's pregnant!" Kiara exclaimed. "Isn't that great."

"What?" Kovu shouted. "Oh my gosh Kiara that's great! But isn't she a little old to be having another cub?"

"Kovu she's not that old," Kiara stated a little annoyed. "My parents were pretty young when I was born so I don't think they're old at all."

"OK sorry I didn't mean anything bad I was just saying is all. But I think it's great. Hey maybe your dad will have the son he's always wanted."

"Yeah maybe," Kiara said. "All I know is I will be thrilled to have a sibling."

"Well I'm happy for them too," Kovu said truthfully. "Come on lets head home." With that the two lovers headed back to Pride Rock.

As Kiara and Kovu were walking towards Pride Rock Simba and Nala were walking towards the watering hole which Nala knew would be the perfect place to tell her mate the joyous news. As they were walking Simba was telling Nala about his day with Kovu and how far he has come since joining the pride. Simba went on to say how good of a king Kovu will make. Then Simba looked at Nala a saw that her mind was somewhere else.

"Hey are you with me?" he asked waving a paw in front of Nala's face.

"Hmm?" Nala said dreamily. "Sorry honey I was thing about something else."

"What's on your mind?" Simba asked.

"Simba have you ever wished our family was bigger?" Nala asked.

"You mean more cubs?" Simba asked. "Well sure grandkids would be nice but I'm not sure Kiara and Kovu are ready for that yet."

"I'm not talking about grandkids Simba."

"Then what?" Simba asked his brow wrinked in confusion.

"I'm talkng about cubs in general," Nala said. Seeing that Simba was still confused Nala moved closer to him and rested her head against his red mane and tried a different approach. "I went to see Rafiki today."

"Oh yeah I almost forgot about that did he tell you what was wrong?"

"He said I couldn't be in better health."

"Then why have you been feeling so sick?"

"I'm getting to that," Nala said slightly annoyed. When Simba remained silent she went on. "The reason I've been feeling so sick is very simple." Nala raised her head so that her blue-green eyes were looking into Simba's amber ones. "Simba... I'm pregnant."

"What?" Simba exclaimed. "Nala how can this be? How did this happen?"

"Well Simba when a lion and a lioness love each other," Nala joked.

"I know that part," Simba snapped. "I mean how can this happen at our age? I mean I thought we would be haveing grandkids not more kids of our own."

"I know Simba I felt the same way but this isn't a bad thing. I for one am thrilled that we're going to be parents again."

"Nala don't get me wrong and I happy about this I'm just worried that we're not ready for this," Simba said looking down at the ground.

"Simba," Nala began putting her head under his chin. "It's not like we haven't done this before. We know what to expect this time. And with age comes wisdom. Besides we were pretty young when we had Kiara so with that in mind we aren't really that old. Not to metion we have Kovu and Kiara both to help us out. Don't worry everyhting will work out."

"You're right Nala as always," Simba said smiling. "I know everything will be fine. I'm just nervous and excited. I mean it's not everyday that a lion is told that he's going to be a father again. Come one lets go home and tell the pride our good news." With that the King and Queen went off towards Pride Rock to share their good news.
