Chapter 21- Trying to Warn People

I nearly threw up. I mean, Hatari and Kepara? Logically it would work. She was an evil witch and he was a robot meerkat. But it was SO wrong. Hatari was married to my sister. Even Faizah didn't deserve to be cheated on.

Hatari didn't even deserve my sister for a wife. You can insult me, you can punch my husband in the stomach, but try and dupe my sister, and you will FEEL MY WRATH! Aw, man, how do I tell Faizah that her husband is cheating on her without it sounding like I was doing it just for revenge? I need someone sneaky. Someone who has no problem sending Hatari's life down the toilet. Someone who's willing to do anything, no matter how stupid it sounds.

Ok, so it was down to Razi and Timon. Both had their disadvantages. With Razi, Faizah would think it was more of a revenge plot.

But Timon was the reason that she and Faizah were fighting in the first place. That, and it would be really awkward.

But I had to tell Faizah before she found out herself. And once she found out I knew before she did and didn't tell her, it wouldn't make our situation any better. It would be much, much worse. Timon is was.

I took my time shuffling over to him, where he was with Pumbaa. "I don't know what else I can do! She hasn't talked to me… do you think I did something wrong again?" Timon asked.

"Um, Timon?" He jumped and turned around.

"Anana!" he said in alarm.

"Look, I need to tell you something in private," I whispered.

"Ok. Pumbaa, we'll be back in just a sec!" Timon yelled, already pulling me away. We walked to the edge of Pride Rock and he helped me sit down. "So what's up? Something wrong?" he asked.

"Yes. Something is very, very wrong," I said darkly.

"What is it?"

"Well, as you know, my sister is now married to Hatari," I began.

"I feel bad for her. Who would ever want to marry Hatari the Jerk?" Timon said.

I giggled. "Yeah, well… look, I was underground beneath Pride Rock, and I had just come up from digging a tunnel and I heard voices in the tall grass," I said nervously.

"You've been hearing voices?" he asked, scooting a little bit away from me.

"It was Hatari, stupid!" I snapped.

"Oh. Well what about him?" Timon asked.

"He… he was with someone. It was Kepara."

"Kepara? That chick that used to beat on you?" he asked. I nodded. "I smell trouble." He sniffed the air for emphasis, and I laughed out loud.

"But seriously," I said, calming down, "This really isn't good. The thing was… they weren't just together and talking. They were kissing, Timon. Hatari is going behind my sister's back with my worst enemy."

Timon's eyes were wide. "What are you going to do?" he asked.

"I'm going to tell Faizah. And you're going to help me." I pulled him up and marched him into the cave, to where Faizah was playing with Tito. I stopped short and bit my lip.

Could I really shatter my sister's heart into a thousand pieces? Of course. But what I was really worried about was Tito. When Faizah finds out, assuming she believes me, she'll wig out and immediately beg my father for a divorce. And if by some strange miracle that my father does grant her one, what happens to Tito? He gets stuck with no father and an insane mother. But at least he wouldn't have to find out for himself that his father is a cheating jerk. No wonder he and Kepara make such a good match.

"Faizah?" She looked up from her son and her warm smile dropped.

"Anana." Her voice was still cold and distant. What I was about to tell her would not make that voice any happier. But it had to be done.

"We need to talk to you in private. It's really important," I told her.

"Well you'll have to wait until Mother gets back so that she can watch Tito," Faizah said, gently rocking him.

"Timon can watch him. I have to tell you now." My sister eyed Timon. I knew that she wouldn't trust him for a second with her son. "We don't even have to leave the cave. I just need to tell you this."

She sighed and gave Tito to Timon to hold. "Fine. But it can't take too long, I have to feed him soon." We walked deeper into the cave, all the way to the back wall. "Alright, what is it?" Faizah asked, obviously annoyed.

"First of all, I'm really sorry if I hurt your feelings or anything because of my marriage or my pregnancy, and I really hope you'll forgive me. I miss my little sister," I began.

"Anana, if you pulled me all the way over here to apologize, you can beg for clemency later all you want. Right now, I have to take care of my son." She started to walk back to retrieve Tito, but I grabbed her shoulder.

"What I have to tell you will affect the rest of your son's life. I suggest you listen." If she wanted to play hardball, so could I.

"What is it then?"

I sighed. "It's about Hatari."

Faizah looked a little shocked. "What about him?" Her curiosity was growing. I could tell by the sound of her voice.

"Faizah, Hatari is…" I didn't finish. A huge pain erupted in my abdomen. I cried out loudly in pain. Timon rushed right over, Tito still in his arms.

"What's wrong with her?" he asked. I clutched my stomach, writhing in pain, and fell to my knees.

"She's having the baby! Go get help!" Faizah ordered.

"Who?"

I wanted to smack him. This was a new level of stupid, even for Timon. "My mother, Nala, Simba, anybody! Just go!" Faizah yelled. I heard Timon run out of the cave. Faizah kneeled next to me. "Just take deep breaths, Anana. Everything is going to be just fine."

As another contraction hit me, I nearly cried. I swore right then to never have children again.

"No it's not! I still have to tell you what I was going to say," I insisted, my voice cracking.

"Anana, you're having a pup! Tell me later!" She helped me sit on a rock and let me squeeze her hand every time there was pain, which was getting more frequent.

I could hear Timon yelling, "Anana's having the baby! Hurry up!" and the sounds of feet approaching. I am going to kill Timon after this, for getting me into this!

A/N: I am so so so so so so sorry for not updating for a month. I've been working on other fics and I was in England, but I worked really hard on this, and I hope it's enough for you all to forgive me. I hope you all haven't given up on me. Holla!
