Author's Note: Pirate22; She might and yes Nala is waiting for Mufasa's cubs. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter, thank you for reviewing.

SLHGOUATTLKFAN; I had planned for Kovu to be Chumvi's son. For who Nala's cub will be, you will have to wait and see. Thanks for the review.

After Rafiki left Nala set off to find her mate which surprisingly was easy. Her golden mate was at the watering hole with their sons. She took a deep breath before walking over. Since Mheetu and Kopa are there, announcing that she is pregnant can go any way but that deserve to know. Mufasa looked up from drinking and smiled when his amber eyes landed on his peachy cream queen.

"Nala..." the golden king frowned at the out of place look on Nala's face. He walked over and nuzzled the younger lioness as Mheetu and Kopa looked on. "Is everything alright, dear?"

Nala smiled lightly before taking a deep breath. "Mufasa...I have something to tell you." she took a deep breath and looked down. "...I'm pregnant..."

Everything went quiet before Mufasa sighed. The quietness caused Nala to look at her mate in worry. Mufasa took a deep breath before looking towards Mheetu and Kopa.

"Boys. Would you come here please?"

Mheetu stood and walked over with Kopa following. Mufasa waited for the princes to sit before he started to speak. "As you have heard...Nala is pregnant. So..."

Mheetu shook his head, his ginger brown mane shook. "My answer is the same. I don't want to be king."

Kopa nodded by the tawny beige lion's side. "I don't think I was in title to rule but I don't want to anyway. I want to help Mheetu, Malka and grandpa around the borders. Also I want to teach my brothers things."

Mufasa smiled at his sons before nuzzling them. Then he looked at Nala who was beaming. Everything worked out but something still weighs heavily on her mind. What about Simba?

-O-

A few months later after the births of Kovu and Kiburi and the announcement that Queen Nala was expecting. Kula went into labor, Malka was a nervous wreck. He couldn't stop pacing. Mheetu who was sitting by his father silently promised to never be like that. They waited for a half of day before Nala exited the cave with a tired look in her turquoise eyes.

"Malka...Kula wish to see you."

Malka smiled at the queen before heading into the nursery cave. In the cave laid Kula with two bundles at her side. One cub was golden-tan with dark brown rimmed ears and small fur sticking up. The other was pale orange with small fur sticking up.

The light brown lioness smiled at her mate before looking at her cubs. "Malka say hi to your daughters, Kamaria and Alyssa."

The pale golden lion beamed brightly before nuzzling his daughters. "They're beautiful."

The new parents spent hours talking about the future of their cubs and what might faith have instored for them.
