Kovu walked toward the watering hole to get a drink. The brown lion was so in thought that he didn't notice a light golden lioness sneak up of him.
"Hey Kovu, what ya doing?"
Kovu shook his head before looking at his now mate with all the love he had for her.
"Nothing Kiara, what's up"
Kiara beamed with joy as she licked her mate's cheek. "Kovu I got some awesome news"
Kovu chuckled at his mate's antics. "What's that"
Kiara giggled, "I'm preagant"
Kovu's smile dropped as his eyes rolled before he knew it. His body hit the ground.
~O~
Scar awoke to the feeling of a body close to him. He looked to his right and seen Jua sound asleep. He smiled at the young lioness beside him. She beautiful and young...can't forget about young. A groaned escaped her mouth which made him looked alarmed. But the more he listened to the more he realized she was dreaming and about...him.
"Taka...please"
Scar's ears twitched as he stared down at her. Sweat started to form as she shot up with wide eyes and out of breath. Jua looked and seen Scar looking at her. A bright red blush formed as she looked down.
"Taka...how long you been up?"
Scar gulped. How was he so post to get out of this. "Um...you woke me you when you shot up"
Jua sighed, "Oh, I'm sorry"
"No. Its ok"
Jua smiled lightly, "Well, we better get moving"
Scar nodded before a thought hit her. "Where we going?"
"Pride Lands. I have family there"
Scar gulped. Maybe they forgot. But as the two headed for the dessert. He knew deep down they didn't. Or at least he didn't.
~O~
"Kovu"
The prince blinked his eyes opened and seen a pair of reddish brown eyes.
"Kiara..."
"No her father"
Kovu shot up and sat right as he stared at the king.
"Calm down. I only want to talk"
Kovu relaxed as he nodded. "About what, sir?"
Simba smiled warmly at his son in-law. "About Kiara and you taking the throne"
Kovu was speechless. "Me king. But I just found out about being a father"
"I'm sure you would do great"
Kovu looked at the king. He noticed a force in his happiness but shook it off.
"Where's Kiara?"
"Outside"
Kovu nodded before slinking away from the golden lion. Once outside, he took a deep breath.
"Kovu, you're alright" said Kiara as she rushed over and put her head under Kovu's
Kovu smiled before nuzzling the light golden lioness.
"I'm fine and happy to know we're going to be a family"
Kiara smiled, "I knew you were come around"
"How long are you?"
"A few weeks"
Kovu smiled, "Let's go down to the watering hole. Where we can talk about names"
Kiara nodded and walked down the slope by Kovu's side.
"What do you think about Ahadi?"
"Don't that mean promise?"
~O~
Jua hid behind a sand dune eyeing a old zebra stallion. As she watched a million thoughts came to her. Why was she feeling so light and fluttery around Taka? Was she attracted to him? As she thought this she remembered how he had kept her warm last night under the cool dessert night sky. The way he held her her...made her feel safe. With a deep sigh she shook her head to knock out the thoughts before eyeing the stallion again. Jua noticed he was favouring his right back leg, badly. With a smile, she jumped from behind the dunes and gave chase. The stallion was surprised to see a lioness didn't move into late. Jua seen the stallion galloped but she was already close, so she stuck her paw out and grabbed the stallion's bad leg. When the beast crashed, Jua cramp her jaws around his throat till the striped animal went limp. Jua let the animals go before taking deep breathes.
"Great hunt. But next time I should do the hunting"
Jua looked from her catch to see Scar walking out.
"Taka, you can hunt?"
Scar laughed lightly. "I hunted for hyenas"
Jua's eyes widen as Scar realized his mistake.
"Um...that was a long time ago"
Jua looked unsure before grabbing the carcass and dragging it under a shaded tree. Scar cursed himself before following his friend.
