A/n: Sorry for such the long wait on the new chapter! I've been super busy and haven't had as much time to write as I would like too :( but have no fear a new chapter is here! I really hope you all love the direction the story is going in! And before I forgot, I wanted to get this new chapter up as fast as I could so I didn't do as carful of a second look of making sure everything looked right as I should have. But enough of me rambling on
please enjoy chapter two ofTHE EVERLASTING LOVE :D
And so it was, the next few weeks flew by as in they never even happened. Vitani was most excited since she was now able to finally wake on her own again without being in pain or having to have someone help her. as most cubs did she wanted to only run around, play, and have fun with kopa like she'd been wanting to. but that didn't work out as fast as she hoped. though Vitani's paw was healed Rafiki had spoken to Ritani "now Vitani, i understand that you very much would like to be having fun, BUT you must be careful for a few days. we wouldn't want you to hurt or paw again already" "okay Rafiki, i'll make sure i do that!" she said as she and Kopa semi-ran off to continue having fun by the water hole.
"hey Vitani!" Kopa said giving Vitani a look he couldn't quite place "yeah Kopa?" "my mom said she has some good news she wanted to tell me, wanna come along?" Vitani simply answer by turning around and running toward Nala. "okay, i'll take that as a yes" Kopa said with a small giggle as he ran after his friend.
not much time had past as the two inseparable friends had made their way to the queen and the rest of the lionesses sitting on sunning rocks by the near pride rock. the two approached Nala and the others, Kopa beginning to feel somewhat nervous. "hey mom, i remember you said there was some good news you had for me?" "yes Kopa" Nala said,smile on her face growing bigger and bigger "Kopa? how would you feel about having a new baby brother or sister?" Kopa not expecting something as this, was a bit shocked at first. trying to think of what to say he looked over at Vitani. "what do you mean queen Nala?" Vitani asked "well Vitani"
flash back
"are you sure you're okay Nala?"
"yes Simba i promise"
"can you please just go see Rafiki and see why you have been feeling so sick?"
"if it will make you feel better, i will" Nala said with a smile.. with that being said, Nala got up from her resting spot in the cave and began her (not so much) journey to Rafiki's tree. as Nala got lost in her thoughts of how or why she may be sick she didn't realize just how quick the time of her walk had gone by until she reached Rafiki. "Rafiki?" Nala yelled up. from the tree tops you could hear ruffling of Rafiki jumping around. "ah-ha Nala! what bring you to old Rafiki?" nala began to feel somewhat nervous herself "I've been feeling a bit sick the past few days and wanted to see if you could possibly figure out why?" "ahh yes Nala, come up!"
once Nala got into Rafikis tree she noticed she was shaking. "it is okay Nala, i am sure there is nothing seriously wrong with you. now before i look to see what is making you sick, how have you been feeling these past few days?" she thought long and hard, making sure she would be giving Rafiki be the best answer "well Rafiki, I've been feeling strangely odd as if i need to sleep a lot, and I've been feeling as if i cant stop puking" Rafiki put is his on his chin, thinking of anything that would be the closest match to Nala's description "Nala i am going to run some tests, but i think i may now what is making you feel so sick!" Nalas eyes went completely wide "what do you you think it is? is it good? is it bad? will i be okay?" Rafiki chuckled "relax Nala,i shall do a few test to make sure. but from what i think everything will be perfectly fine!" Nala breathed a sign of relief hearing this, but still felt a little tense.
Rafiki began to grab weird looking gourds, leave, plants, and other oddly randomly items, then began to mix and stir them before taking any tests. time passed and finally Rafiki had done all the tests he needed to, hopefully being able to figure out what might be making Nala so sick Rafiki grew a smile from ear to ear "what is it Rafiki?" "Nala, i am very happy i tell you that everything is going to be completely fine with you and the little one" for a split second Nala swore she was about to faint as she heard this "what do you mean little one?" "Nala, you are pregnant! you and Simba shall be parents once again! ahh hhaa!"
she wasn't sure why but when she heard the words "you are pregnant" she began to feel as if she was going to faint. but the first person the came to mind when she thought of it was Kopa. "how will Kopa take this? what if he thinks we are trying to replace him? i would never want my son to feel like that" rafiki being one too know more then what anyone could imagine, looked at Nala and placed his hand on her shoulder " i am sure Kopa will take the news very well Nala. he might act a tiny bit odd at first but in no time I'm sure he will love having a new brother or sister"
"thank you Rafiki" Nala said, a small smile on her face
flash back over
"in the next few weeks Kopa is going to have a new bother or sister. but we wont find out if its a boy or a girl till they are both" Nala started feeling a bit upset when she say the expression on Kopa face at hearing the news "why are mom and dad having another cub? do they not want me anymore? do they hate me now? im i not good enough for them anymore?" after giving a moment Kopa slowly started to grow a smile on his face "but that does mean i would have someone to play with, and i could teach them everything that i know, ooohhhh! they could help me when i try to attack mom and dad in the morning!" "i cant wait to have a new brother or sister! these next few weeks need to go by fast! i bet they'll be soo cool!" Nala was extremely surprised but very happy with how excited Kopa was to meet his new sibling.
"so Nala, what are you going to name the cubs when he or she is born?" Vitani asking, curiosity flowing through her "I'm not too sure Tani, maybe you and Kopa could help think of names" at this point something a bit weird happened that Nala never expected, out of what seemed like thin air, Kopa and Vitani gave each other with a look no one could really place "Kion if its a boy" "and Kiara if its a girl" Nala gave a good thought. Nala being one of the smartest in the pride she knew their meanings were without having to give it too much thought, she thought "those really are good names, and i'm sure Simba will love them. speaking of Simba, he should be here any second"
as nala asked herself where her loving mate may be, simba was at pride rock passing as normal, questioning and overthinking something that has always made him nervice, a new life. "Mom, there has to be another reason to why nalas been so sick lately" Sarabi simply chuckled at her sons thoughts "son, I know something like this can be scary at first but do remember, you already have a cub. If anything you should thrilled at the fact of you and nala having a cub. I remember when mops was first born, it was almost as if you became a cub all over again" As much as simba wanted to tell his mother she was wrong he knew she was right "I know mom. I just don't know how oops will take all of this. Nala said she was going to tell him soon but I... I just don't want him too feel like we don't love him anymore" simba plopped down onto the cooling cave floor as tears stared to flowing slowly from his eyes "simba, kopa knows that he is loved no matter what. It may not be quick but in time kopa will love having a new brother or sister" Sarabi said she comforted her hurting son "thanks mom. I just need to find Kopa and talk to him. I need my son to know that he will always be loved by us" Sarabi nodded in agreement to what simba said "thanks for the talk mom, I new to go find kopa now!" Before Sarabi could speak she saw her son built out of the cave and raced off to find his son
knowing nala simba knew exactly where find her, and not to far from Baka with be kopa. Simba raced nonstop to get to his son as fast as he could hoping they would still be there. After a few minutes of running he thankfully saw the three people he had been looking for. "Kopa" simba half yelled "DAD!" Kopa said jumping up and down excitedly "kopa, there's something I would like to talk to you about" "did I do something wrong" kopa said flattening his ears. "No kopa" simba said as he let out a chuckle
vitani looked a bit confused at what was going on "I think I'll stay here with nala, I'll see you later kopa!" Seeing how kopa and vita I are almost never apart during the day he felt a little out of place going to talk with is dad by himself, but kept telling himself his talk with his dad wouldn't be too long
simba and kopa had only been walking for a few minutes until Simba finally stopped walking and sat down "kopa, I'm guessing your quite confused as to why I wanted to talk to you" indeed kopa was, but decided to reply with a simple "yeah" simba took a death breathe and decided it was time to talk "as you know you will soon have a new brother of sister, and I know there's most likely many questions going through your mind. But I just wanted to make sure you know that no matter what we will always love you, and no one could ever replace you, ever" Kopa could feel tears building up in his little eyes as he tried very hard to fight them off "I know dad, I honestly can't wait for the new cub to be born, but what if you and mom don't have time for me anymore? What if you guys forget about me all together? What if you and momma like the new cub better then me?" With tears flowing from his little eyes kopa fell on the ground feeling like he'll never be wanted the same again
simba picked up his son and pulled him into a tight hug "that will never happen son, I can promise you that, just because there will be a new addition to our family doesn't mean anything will change. Your mother and I will always love you both will all our hearts" simba not being the best at comforting anyone, let alone his son, still felt as if he did a pretty good job. "Thanks dad, I feel a lot better now about having a new brother or sister" samba smiled as he looked down at his caring son "I knew you would kopa, now let's get get back to your mother and Vitani before you start having vitani withdrawals" simba said as they two began laughing for harder then ever
kopa jumped up in the air and punched his dads side with a chuckle filled "hey! Shut up haha" the two began to run and jump around playing tag as simba thought "kopa is going to make an amazing big brother, I know he'll love them just as much as kopa loves us too"
