Author's Note:ThatTexaskid; I'm glad you liked the chapter. As for Waya, she's Scar's daughter.

TMNTMentalistTLK lover; I agree. At least he's gone.

This is very important; Talia is a name of a angel and it means Dew of Heaven. Now without further ado here's chapter twenty one.

Waya ran across her father's dry, dead land. Tears falling from her dark blue eyes, blurring her vision. The dry grass soon turned to cracked, barren land. The pale tannish brown lioness ran till she collapsed. She put her colorless paws over her head and cried. Why did she do that? She just totally blacked out...

Waya was knocked out of her thoughts by the sound of someone growling. She removed her paws to see a pair of brown eyes narrowed at her.

"You stupid bitch! You killed my father!"

Waya looked from the dull brown lion to see a pale brown lioness approach, with a killing intent in her brown eyes. Waya was frozen stiffed. She couldn't fight a male and a full adult lioness. A loud roar erupted causing the three to look and see Mheetu charging towards them. Chumvi growled before running towards his brother. Before the brothers met, Jasiri pounced on her oldest brother and sent him to the ground.

"Chumvi, stop!"

The dull brown lion was about to attack when another roar was heard. Chumvi looked up to see Malka and Kula.

"What the hell you are doing here?!"

Malka growled at the dull brown lion. "That lioness is my future cub's mother. I will not let you harm her!"

Mheetu snarled at his older brother. "Leave. Because I doubt you can take all five of us!"

Chumvi growled before running off with Jari following. Mheetu sighed before looking at his friends and half sister.

"Thanks."

Kula smiled lightly as the pale orange lion nuzzled his friend. "I'm glad we were here."

Mheetu glanced at Waya and sighed. Malka noticed and nudged his friend. "If you ever need us...we'll be in the mountains."

Mheetu nodded and watched his sister leave with his friends. Sighing the light cream lion focused on the lioness nearby.

"Are you alright?"

Waya looked away and nodded. "I'm...sorry."

Mheetu sat by the distressed lioness. "Why did you do it?"

Waya sighed heavily before looking at the dark sky above. "Shane was my older half brother. When my mother left to see my great grandfather he wanted to stay with my grandmother. But he was my brother...his death took didn't only take a troll on me but my mother. Shane was the last piece of her true love that passed away. I was just a mistake..."

Mheetu frowned when he realized that was the reason why Ashanti passed away. Because the pain was to much. His ears flickered when he caught the last part. His frowned deepened.

"Waya, you are not a mistake. There's greatness within you. Be if it is not you, than your cub will do great things."

Waya smiled lightly at the slightly older lion. "You think so?"

Mheetu smiled and nodded but he could say something the young pale tannish brown lioness licked his cheek. Mheetu looked at her with wide eyes.

"Mheetu...I have a confession. I'm in love with you."

Mheetu gulped before pulling away. "I'm sorry...but I don't want to hurt you."

Waya smiled before nuzzling her head in the male's dark brown mane. "I know you have feelings for Simba. Your reaction was close to Sarabi and Nala. More than the others, actually. I know about you and my father but that doesn't mean nothing to me."

Mheetu in hale and exhaled as he kept his eyes on the king's daughter. "I'm honoured...but..."

Waya smiled and nuzzled the light cream lion with a purr. "Just once, please."

Mheetu looked into Waya's dark blue eyes and seen all the love for him. He sighed deeply and closed his eyes before nuzzling back.

-TOAA-

A loud roar echoed through the dry Pride Lands. Jenell had went in labor, the pride gathered around excited about the new birth. Mheetu sat outside the cave with Hal in between his paws.

"Dad?"

Mheetu moved his stormy blue eyes from the cave entrance to the light cream cub. "Yes, son."

"Will I be a good big brother?"

Mheetu nuzzled his son. "Of course you will. With Kijani and Justin helping, you'll be the best."

Hal beamed before running towards Nala, who was talking to Amira and Sarafina. Mheetu smiled before looking towards the cave when he heard his name being called. With a deep breath he stood up and entered. Lying in the back of the was Jenell bathing something in between her paws. The pale beige lioness smiled at her former lover before removing her paws to reveal two pale cream cubs. Mheetu gulped as he walked closer.

Jenell giggled before nuzzling her cubs. "Come on, they don't bite...yet."

Mheetu couldn't believe he made something so beautiful. Twins at that, he looked from his cubs to Jenell. "What are their names?"

Jenell nuzzled the cubs once more and smiled. "The oldest reminds me of her grandmother. So I was thinking Loki after your mother."

Mheetu smiled and nuzzled one of the pale cream cubs to have her blink a pair of golden eyes open. "I like it. What about the other one?"

Jenell nuzzled the last cub and smiled lovingly. "How about you name her?"

Mheetu looked at his youngest daughter and smiled. "How about Talia?"

Jenell smiled before nuzzling her daughter. "I love it."

Mheetu looked at his daughter and nuzzled her, causing her to open her eyes that mirrored his own. Mheetu smiled before looking towards the cave entrance.

"Boys, you can come in."

All at once the three male cubs fell in. Mheetu frowned when he noticed that one male cub wasn't there. Mheetu looked from the cave entrance to his son.

"Hal, where's your Uncle Nuka?"

Hal rolled his eyes. "Zira wouldn't let him come."

Mheetu sighed before leading the three male cubs towards his daughters. All the while feeling bad for his little brother. Nuka is going to have a ruff life.
