AN: SLSPNOUATTLKan; Yes very sad, but it's gets better and worse.
A week has past since Nala's birth and the announcement of Sarabi being queen. Since then Sarabi and Scar had made it official. They are king and queen as well as mates. Mufasa and Sarafina had returned with Nala and the light cream lioness wasn't happy with Sarabi at all. When Sarafina seen the queen, her blue eyes turned icy before she charged. The dark beige lioness didn't have a chance to perpare before the younger lioness pounced. The two rolled until Sarabi found herself pinned.
"How could you!" the creamy lioness growled.
Sarabi looked at her friend and pleaded. "Please. I'm sorry...but don't attack..."
Sarafina growled as she glared holes into the queen. "Why shouldn't I?"
At this time Mufasa had ran over after leaving Nala with Zira. When he heard his ex's reply he nearly wanted to killed her.
"I'm pregnant!"
"But how?" Sarafina asked stepping off the dark beige lioness, couusion in her bright blue eyes.
Sarabi got up and looked at Mufasa who was debating whether to run or attack. "A little bit after you met Rashad and a little bit before Ahadi bethroled me and Mufasa...Scar and I mated."
Mufasa took a deep breath before looking at the queen. "Was everything a lie?"
"I went along with it for the sake of Taka. Your grandfather gave him that scar because he and I was against it. He was the one that gave your father the idea to bethrole us. I'm telling you...I never ment to hurt you. I was doing it to protect Taka...even after Mohatu died I couldn't take the risk."
Mufasa shook his head. "I should of known something was up with you gaining all that weight!" Sarabi tried to say how sorry she was but Mufasa snarled at her. "Please don't! I'm glad we got this out of the way before we made a mistake!"
Sarabi stood with wide eyes as her ex turned and left. Leaving the two lionesses alone. Sarabi sighed before looking at Sarafina who shook her head.
"I am ashamed of you!"
With a low growl the cream lioness ran after Mufasa. Sarabi sighed deeply before heading towards Pride Rock to tell her mate the news.
-O-
Sarafina had found her friend by the water hole. The golden lion sat with his head lowered as tears fell from his amber eyes. Sarafina sat by him and thrust her head under Mufasa's. Mufasa closed his eyes before returning the affection.
"I love you, Mufasa..."
Mufasa stopped and looked at the slightly younger lioness. "I know."
Sarafina's blue eyes widen in surprise. "But..."
"I over heard your talk with Zira the night my brother became king."
Sarafina took deep breaths before sobbing. "I'm sorry. I know it was wrong of me to say that after what you been through..."
Mufasa reached down and nuzzled her lovingly. "I guess that I was never in love with Sarabi. But I did like her. But if you're willing...then I will give us a chance."
Sarafina smiled lightly at the lion she loved. "You don't have to."
"But I want to..."
Sarafina smiled lovingly before giving Mufasa a loving embrace that the golden lion halfheartly returned.
