Travass and Roganjalex, thanks for the reviews. I really appreciate them, here's the next chapter.

Zazu felt nervous as they apporched the Outland border. He hasn't seen the hyenas since Simba returned and exiled them into the barren waste land. But now they were going to comfornt them, and the fact that they are doing it alone didn't sit well with him. "Um...sire? Surely you're not comfornting those scavengers alone."

Simba frowned as he stopped walking. He was so determined to get to the bottom of what happened that he forgot about sending for backup. "Zazu, get Wyatt and any available lionesses."

Zazu sighed in relief before dipping his head before taking off into the mid afternoon sky. Simba watched the hornbill go before turning to face the border just as he herd the sound of a twig snapping. The golden lion snapped his orange eyes towards the sound to see two pairs of yellow eyes heading towards him.

"Well, well, well. Isn't it the big fur ball back from the dead."

Simba snarled as the eyes turned out to be two old hyenas, mainly the two that tried to kill him and Nala when they were cubs and not to mention that they were the same hyenas that chased him away from the Pridelands after the stampede...He growled as it came rushing back again, how everything pointed to his scheming uncle but he was too young and naive to have figured it out. Simba narrowed his eyes as a growl left his throat. "I exiled you! What are you doing in the Pridelands!"

Shenzi had now white around her muzzle and some going through her fur as well as her stylish black mane. The old hyena smiled a toothy grin as she stepped closer. "Coming to meet you. Matriarch's orders."

Simba stepped back confused about what he just heard. "Wait...if you're not the matriarch then who is?"

The old male next to Shenzi that always had something to say, spoke next. "Our son. Janja."

Simba looked at the two, who are apparently are mates with a even more confused look. "Hyena packs are known to be lead by females."

Shenzi growled before turning away but Simba still caught the disgusted look that formed. "I had a daughter, until she became a disgrace to me and the pack."

Simba frowned, wasn't this her daughter she was talking about. He shook his head before snarling. "Regardless who is in charge, tell your son to stay out of the Pridelands."

Another snap of a twig caused the three to see three young adult hyenas, the one in the lead had a black spikey, swept back mane. While the other one looked like a over weight version of Banazi as the third one was a reminder of the weird hyena that was with Shenzi and Banazi, Ed. "You have some nerve showing up here, kingy."

Simba stood his ground and lifted his head to show his dominance. "You must be Janja. You disobeyed my law. The hyenas are not permitted in the Pridelands, it could throw off the balance of the circle of life."

Janja laughed before stepping closer. But before he could say anything, Simba's backup ran over. The young hyena growled before turning but not before giving the king a look of hatred. "No one cares for the circle of life but fools."

Simba just stood there, as that was all he could do. He couldn't believe that the hyenas were like that, they truly were monsters. Simba sighed heavily before turning to look at the lionesses that came with Wyatt. The golden king was more than surprised to see his mother there. "Mom?"

The dark beige lioness shook her head with a small smile. "My Simba, you worry too much. I'm not old yet."

Simba went to say something about that but Kula stepped up. "Nala returned. She's anxious about you meeting the cubs."

Simba nearly stopped breathing, cubs. A wide grin appeared before he turned and ran through the plains. Kula turned and followed along with Sarabi and the other two lionesses that came. Wyatt smiled and shook his head before running after the others, he couldn't wait to meet his nieces or nephews as well.

Khairi looked over his mother's paws as King Simba, his mother and Queen Nala's mother sat around the peachy cream lioness awwing and smiling at the three cubs that were in the queen's colorless paws.

Nala looked nuzzled her cubs before looking at Simba who just nuzzled her. She was happy that she had given birth but felt guilty that she hasn't told Simba about that night. But more than anything, she's not sure how he's going to take the birthing order. "Sorry Simba. Could you repeat that?"

"Who's the oldest?"

Nala sighed before pushing the golden orange cub towards the king, then she pushed a bright golden cub. "You have a daughter that was born first."

Simba frowned before nuzzling his mate. "I understand that this might be hard but I'm not like those sexist kings. I know that our princess will make a wonderful queen, like you."

Nala smiled before nuzzling her mate before pulling away a bit and moved her head to the side. "What are you going to name them?"

Simba thought about it before smiling at the three cubs. "The oldest will be Kiara, the second oldest will be Kopa and the youngest will be Kion."

Nala brightened up and nuzzled the three heirs. But before she could tell Simba how much she loves the names, Zazu flew in. Simba turned to the hornbill with concern in his orange eyes. "Zazu, what's going on?"

The blue bird took deep breathes before quickly responding. "Madame Tama has went into labour."

Simba sighed before smiling. He stood and headed for the den entrance with Zazu hovering over him. "Go to the mountain pride and tell Tojo what's happening."

Zazu nodded before flying off into the now Africa multi coloured sky of evening.
