Chapter 4: I have to keep an eye on her

ironcross18: Thank you very much :)

csinumberstlk lover: Yeah, me too. It's unfair :/

Hayles45: Thank you, thank you :)

Guys, I decided to make a twist to make the story more interesting. Nala will be the victim in the twist. Please enjoy! Oh and by the way, I highly doubt that Nala didn't want to have more children in the second movie and that thought inspired me to add the twist in this story.

Maran Zelde: Actually the only reason I didn't put the exact movie dialogue is because my mother's side of the family is from Croatia and I decided to translate the movie in Croatian in English if you understand me. The movie in Croatian sounds a lot different than this one in English once it's translated. Thank you :)

When I woke up I was feeling sick. My stomach hurt and I was about to vomit, but I stopped that feeling by putting my paws over my mouth. I knew Simba wouldn't be happy covered in all that stuff. Kiara wouldn't be very happy as well. I ran out of the cave and threw up behind the nearest bush.

"What's wrong honey?," I heard Simba's voice behind me. Oh boy. I was in trouble now. I knew he wouldn't buy any of my stories, so I decided to tell him the truth.

"I'm not feeling very well. I thinks it's this springs flu. Nothing to worry about," I laughed nervously.

"I think you should go see Rafiki," I rolled my eyes at that thought. He worried about everything. He would send me to Rafiki even if I sneeze!

"NO!," I snapped. I don't know what's gotten into me that moment.

"Why are you so moody this morning? You're not acting like yourself!," he said getting closer to me.

"So, now you wanna say I'm insane?," I continued the argument.

"Listen to me! I don't want to argue! I'm just worried about you, because I love you. Please listen to me. Go see Rafiki, honey," he said calmly and nuzzled me with a worried expression on his face.

"Sorry Simba, I really don't know what's gotten into me. I guess you're right," I calmed down and replied the nuzzle.

"Mommy! Daddy! What's wrong?," I saw Kiara running out of the cave.

"Nothing's wrong, sweetie. Mommy's just a little bit sick, that's all. Be a good girl while I go to Rafiki,"

"You won't die, will you?," her eyes started to fill up with tears.

"God no! Why?," a little laugh escaped my mouth.

"Because daddy told me that when lions get sick they die," I looked at Simba who smiled nervously.

"Unless they have a crazy monkey to heal them," he added.

"Great!," she smiled, "Daddy let's play a game!,"

"Alright you two, I'll be back soon!," I said and hurried to the big baobab.

I was really worried about the diagnosis. What if I really had a deadly disease? There was one way to find out. I had to face my fears.

"Rafiki!," I yelled. I prayed that he's at home. I wasn't feeling very well.

"Who's dere?," I heard his voice. He looked down at me, "Oh my Queen! What brought you here?," he smiled widely.

"I'm here because I'm not feeling well. I threw up this morning. Could you please check what's wrong with me?,"

"Sure. Where does it hurt?," he asked and showed me with his hand to sit down.

"Right here," I know it was weird but I laid my paw on my abdomen.

"I see… Hmm… Yes, yes…" he felt it for himself.

"What is it? Do I have a disease?," I slowly started to worry.

"Haha… No my dear… You are with cub!," he said cheerfully.

"What? I'm pregnant? But… but… how?," I was happy and concerned at the same time. How would Simba react?

"I don't know how! De point is: What you and King Simba have been doin'!," he grinned.

"That was a rhetorical question. By the way, thanks! Bye!," I started running through the golden savannah in hope that I'll find Simba doing his morning rounds. I highly doubted that he was finished yet. Finally I saw something moving in the grass.

"SIMBA!," I yelled as loud as I could for him to hear.

"Nala?," He turned around with a confused expression on his face, "What did Rafiki say?,"

"It's pretty good news actually," I smiled.

"C'mon! Spit it out!," he said impatiently.

"He said… well… that I'm pregnant!," I said looking for his reaction.

"What? But how did this happen?," he paced nervously around.

"Well Simba, when a lion and a lioness love each other…" I started to tell him the whole process of having a cub. I was teasing him of course.

"I know that part! I mean… Oh never mind!," he said and got closer to me.

"Are you happy then?," I nuzzled him. He was so cute when he was confused!

"I am!," he said with a wide smile appearing on his face.

"Good. We have to tell the news to Kiara and the rest of the pride!," I ran towards Pride Rock.

"Hey wait for me!,"

I was really overjoyed about our second cub arriving soon because Kiara was the only cub in the pride and she had nobody to play with. She already complained to me about her loneliness.

How do you think my twist worked out? I have to warn you that not all twists are good. In the next chapter Nala will have an unpleasant surprise. Thanks for reading and don't forget to review!
