The long months passed when Sarafina had her cub. The whole time she was hoping the cub would be a girl. She didn't want Scar to kill her cub.
Sarafina had her cub with Sarabi and Nala by her side.
"It's a...boy..." Sarafina said in a scared whisper. "Oh no...Scar will try to kill him!"
"He'd have to get through me first!" Roared Sarabi.
"And through me." Nala said, then let out a tiny roar.
Sarafina felt better an licked her son. "I think I'll call him Mheetu."
"But mommy Scar said he had to name the cub." Nala pointed out.
" I don't care what he calls the cub. I'm calling him Mheetu." Sarafina angirly mumbled. "Now go get Scar so he can "name" the cub please Sarabi."
Sarabi walked to PrideRock. Scar and Zira were playing with Nuka when Sarabi entered.
"What!" Scar growled.
"Sarafina had her cub." Sarabi said.
Scar and Zira went to Sarafina (Dotty watched Nuka),
"Sarafina...now remember how your punishment was I name the cub? Well.." Scar then snickered.
"It's time...what gender is your cub?"
Sarafina hesitated. Nala was confused why her mother was acting this way. Sarabi was anxious.
"A boy.." Sarafina said with a sigh. Scar's eyes widened.
"Call him Nelgo." Scar growled, then he left with Zira.
"Never." Sarafina muttered angirly under her breath. "He's my little Mheetu now and forever!"
Sarafina cleaned Mheetu's fur as he mewed. Mheetu yawned and fell asleep in Sarafina's paws.
