Hi everyone
Here's chapter 10. As usual see chapter 1 for disclaimer and hope your enjoy. Please favorite, follow and review.
The very next day, Taka woke up bright and early. Smiling softly, he look at his pregnant mate and then to his sleeping son, Simba, Nala, Mheetu, Tama, Tojo laying with either Uru or Zira. Letting out an small sigh and walking out, Taka see the stars were still out, it clearly was very early in the morning. "Uncle Taka," a small voice was heard and he turn to see Simba coming out.
Taka almost yelped, due to the cub sneakness. "Simba, are you alright? It's very early in the morning."
"I had an bad dream," Simba said. "It was about me, Nala, Mheetu, Tama, Tojo, getting killed by those jackals."
Taka place an paw around Simba and gave him an nuzzle, sending him some comfort. Although Simba were not his son, Taka can tell he was an lot like him. Perhaps Simba needed the same chat he had from his mother when he was an cub. "Well Simba," Taka said nudging the cub softly. "I've something to tell you that your grandmother once told me. Look at the stars," Taka says turning to the stars along with Simba. "The great Kings and Queens look down on us from those stars. Whenever you feel alone, just remember those Kings and Queens would always be there to guide you and so will me and your father." Turning back to Simba, he saw the golden cub was sound asleep. Going back inside of the cave, he place him against Uru's paw. What he had realize is that Zazu just flew off at this time but just waved it off.

Zazu flew for an bit until he stop at an small nest. It was comfortable and he sighed before leaning against it. Suddenly, he heard an squawk and saw an blue bird appearing, her white eyes beaming in the moon light. "Hey, what are you doing at my nest?!" she demanded. "I was out doing the morning patrol and yet you dare sneak on my nest." she begin to corner him.
"What me?" Zazu exclaimed. "Listen Miss..." he nodded, inwardly asking for her name.
"Susu." Susu said, now standing over him.
"Susu," Zazu said tasting the name against his tongue before saying. "I hadn't know anybody live here. I'm sorry."
Susu sighed before pulling back, seeing that he was afraid of her, she relax and her body grew softer. "I'm sorry, too, but I've an home." she said her voice much softer. She begin examining him slowly before smiling. "Well make yourself an home, I'll be telling the king about my report."
"Wait you do report this early in the morning?" Zazu asked staring at her in shock. Back in his pride, he can wait an few hours before starting the morning report.
"Yes, it's best to get it out of the way when the king wakes up," Susu explained. "For you have much more to do and have your own time to yourself." Zazu eyes widen, he'll have to keep that in mind. With that, the white bird flew off. When she got back, she saw he was asleep, she sighed before going to sleep herself. She felt his wing moving before his head connected to her chest. She tried to shake him off but find herself, not wanting to. So they lay there, in each other arms.

It been an little while and morning finally arrived. Taka had agreed that Simba, Nala, Tama, Tojo, and Mheetu shall stay until noon and the cubs agreed. Mheetu had recovered nicely, even with the little scars he still had. They were playing outside of the den before three cubs join them. "Hi, um, my name's Nuka." Nuka said with an small smile. "This is my best friend, Dotty," he motion toward the brown cub beside him. "And my other friend, Spotty." he motion toward the grey cub on the left side of him.
"New cubs?!" Simba, Nala, Tama, and Tojo exclaimed. However Mheetu hadn't say anything, his eyes were set on Spotty. She also stare back at him with wide red eyes. Although she is older then him by 2 months, she'd never look at someone this way. "Hey, are you uncle Taka's son?" Simba asked Nuka.
"Yes, I'm his son and I'm the prince." Nuka said with an smile. "This lands will be mine someday."
"That makes us cousins?!" Simba screamed, pouncing around his cousin. "Hey, I bet you can't pin me."
"Anyone can pin you Simba," Nala says, rolling her blue eyes. While Simba, Nala, Tama, Tojo, Nuka, Dotty were all playing, Mheetu decided to get to know this new cub he'd just met. Breathing heavily to get courage, he walked up and sat down before her, she smile softly. "Um, eh, hi," Mheetu stammered, not really knowing how to start an conversation with her. "My name is Mheetu, nice to meet you."
"My name is Spotty," Spotty said with an smile at Mheetu that had made him blush. "Um, do you have any friends in your pride?" she asked deciding that would be an good approched.
"Well..." Mheetu trailed off before deciding to say it. "I've my sister and her friends and they let me play with them but only their games. I'll like to play my games sometimes."
"I'll be your friend and I know how you feel. Nuka and Dotty are fun with but we mainly play their games. Sometimes, I feel it's unfair." Spotty said looking down at the ground.
"Exactly, but come on, let's go play our own game." Nuka suggested.
"Yeah let's go, we won't be far but I don't want no one to interrupt our game," Spotty said looking toward the other cubs, who were still playing, not noticing them. With that, the two cubs left and went to play their own games.

Soon, they got back at dawn and saw Simba, Nala, Tama, and Tojo on all fours. Zazu and Susu were beside each other, Zazu wanted to show her the pride lands and also find himself having an secret crush on her. "There you are little brother," Nala exclaimed. "We're going back home."
"Yeah," Nuka says emerging from the cave. "And I'm comin' with you guys. Beside Dotty's off with her mother."
"Spotty!" Taka said, quickly. "Your mother is looking for you so she can help you train. Off you go," Taka said waving an paw on her.
"Ok, I'm goin'." Spotty said. Then she turn to Mheetu and smile slightly. "I gotta go now but I hope I'll see you again real soon." With that, the cub was off.
"Now come on, we're going to the pride lands." Taka said. Suddenly, Shenzi, Banzai and Ed came by his side. They offered to come due to the attack last night an they had to be safe. Uru and Zira also came due to Uru wanting to see her first born son and Zira wanting to see Sarabi and Sarafina.

After 1 hour, they made it back at the borders of the pride lands. Taka, Uru, and Zira shielded all of the cubs from the unbearable heat. Finally reaching on top of the cliff, they saw many lionesses and lions standing. But three lions were in the front. "Mufasa, Sarabi, Sarafina, it's nice to see you again." Taka said shaking his head and bowing in respect. Uru and Zira followed suit, Mufasa motion for them to rise with an slight smile. "Your massager said you've an surprise for us."
Taka, Zira, and Uru remove their paws revealing Simba, Nala, Tama, Tojo, and Mheetu who all jump up at their parents. "Oh great kings!" Tama mother's, Jama said.
"My little Tojo," his mother, Joey, said with an small smile.
"Nala, Mheetu," Sarafina said, her eyes full of tears.
"Simba," Sarabi cried nuzzling into her son's head.
"Thank you brother, mother, Zira," Mufasa said walking up to the three lions. "You didn't had to save our cubs, for they aren't apart of your pride."
"We are the same," Taka said nuzzling Mufasa before backing up slowly. "I will protect your cubs like I'll protect mine. As for my cub, I want you to meet my son." Taka removed his paw revealing an small brown cub with red eyes. "Go on Nuka," Taka urged. "Meet your uncle."
Nuka begin to walk slowly up to Mufasa who had an look. Nuka see all of the pride lands lionesses and whimpered slightly before sitting down below Mufasa. Mufasa smile warmly and gave the cub an smile before shaking his head. Just then, Sarabi ran up and took hold of Nuka. "He's so cute." Sarabi awed, nuzzling the cub. Nuka yelped as Sarabi lick his "small" mane. Sarabi put Nuka down and nuzzled into his head. "He is so much like the both of you combined," Sarabi said, turning to Taka and Zira who smile softly.
"Well, Sarabi," Zira said after an moment. "You're going to have another nephew or neice soon. Me and Taka is expecting another cub." As she said this part, she rub her belly softly.
"That is wonderful, Zira," Sarafina said nuzzling her tan friend. "Let's just hope that it's not an girl so she won't be an daddy's girl." Sarafina turn to Taka when she said this part.
"Oh be quiet, 'Fina." Taka said waving his paw. "Well, we best get going." Taka says turning around along with Uru, who had just had an conservation with Mufasa. Zazu and Susu stare at Taka.
"Hey if you don't mind, your majesty." Susu said. "Since I already did my patrol, I would like to know the pride lands with Zazu."
"Oh okay, Susu," Taka said with an smile. "Enjoy yourself."
"Ok, I'll be back by sunset," Susu informed the brown king who nodded and walk off, along with Uru and Zira.
