Jason Chandler; I absolutely agree. Glad you liked the chapter.
The song used in this chapter is Let Me Love You by Ne-Yo. I love this song and had to use it as I did in the original story. But here's chapter nineteen, enjoy!
Simba kept opening and closing his muzzle. Trying desperately to say something until he finally choked out. "You're what?"
Kula smiled, a glow radiated off her. "Expecting. In other words, I'm with cub...your cub."
Simba shook his head and began to pace before stopping and looking at now worried Kula.
"Are you sure it's mine?"
Kula's dark green eyes widen as she snarled, "You spoiled bastard! I'm not some slut that sleeps around like your step-mother!"
Simba was shocked and speechless. Kula growled as she struck him across the face.
"I know you're going to choose Nala!"
Simba had recover from the outburst and the hit. Rubbing his slightly scarred cheek. "I'm sorry...but I'm bethroled to her. It's the law that I have to. What kind of king would I be if I disband or ignored my own laws?"
Kula lowered her head as more tears fell.
Simba nuzzled her lightly. "If I wasn't bethroled to Nala it would be different."
Kula looked up and Simba saw all the hurt and heartbreak in her gem like dark green eyes.
"You mean if I was beautiful it would be different." Kula spat with hurt laced in her voice.
Simba went to say something but the pale brown lioness had already ran off. Simba sighed before heading off in the direction of priderock.

Nala was walking down the stoned slope when she saw the future king.
Nala smiled. "Simba,"
The golden lion looked up and smiled as the tawny peach lioness walked over and nuzzled him.
"Nala...I want to ask you something important." with a deep breath, the gold lion continued. "Will you be my mate and queen?"
"Of course!" Nala smiled before licking her fiancee's muzzle.
Simba smiled before nuzzling his future mate with all the love he could muster.
...
Kula sat at the far side of the Pridelands. Her body rocked at every sob. Tears matted her cheeks and made long streaks where she looked like a cheetah.
She never been so broken in all her life of two years. Not even Nala and Tama's bullying had broken her like now.
"Kula..."
The pale brown lioness sniffed up some tears before looking to see Malka. The handsome dark golden lion walked over and nuzzled her but she pulled away.
"What's wrong with me?" Kula sobbed.
Malka had tears in his own eyes now as he watched the love of his life break. How dare Simba make the most beautiful lioness in the pride feel so low about herself. He don't care if Simba is his cousin.
As the dark golden lion looked at the pale brown lioness love poured from his pale green eyes. The sun shined on the pale brown lioness' fur, giving it a heavenly glow.
Malka sighed before looking at the sky as his black mane ruffled up in a slight breeze.
"Much as you blame yourself, you can't be blamed for the way you feel
Had no example of a love, that was even remotely real
How can you understand something that you never had
Ooh baby if you let me, I can help you out with all of that..."
Kula looked up as Malka got up and began to walk around the pale brown lioness, singing his heart out.
"...Girl let me love you
And I will love you
Until you learn to love yourself
Girl let me love you
And all your trouble
Don't be afraid, girl let me help
Girl let me love you
And I will love you
Until you learn to love yourself
Girl let me love you
A heart of numbness, gets brought to life
I'll take you there"
Malka walked close to Kula where his muzzle was close to her ear.
"Girl let me love you
Girl let me love you baby, oh
Girl let me love yo
Girl let me love you baby
Girl let me love you
Let me love you, let me love you, oh
I can see the pain behind your eyes
It's been there for quite a while
I just wanna be the one to remind what it is to smile
I would like to show you what true love can really do..."
Kula blushed as Malka made way to in front of her singing with his deep smooth voice that would woo any lioness.
"Girl let me love you
And I will love you
Until you learn to love yourself
Girl let me love you
And all your trouble
Don't be afraid, girl let me help
Girl let me love you
And I will love you
Until you learn to love yourself
Girl let me love you
A heart of numbness, gets brought to life
I'll take you there
Girl let me love you baby
Girl let me love you
Let me love you, let me love you baby
Girl let me love you
Girl let me love you baby
Girl let me love you
Let me love you, girl let me love you baby
For every heart that beats
For every heart that beats
For every heart that beats, heart that beats...
Girl let me love you
And I will love you
Until you learn to love yourself
Girl let me love you
And all your trouble
Don't be afraid, girl let me help
Girl let me love you
And I will love you
Until you learn to love yourself
Girl let me love you
A heart of numbness, gets brought to life
I'll take you there
Girl let me love you
Let me love you baby, love you baby
Girl let me love you
Let me love you baby, love you baby"
Malka finished with a smile that actually made Kula melt. But what took the blushing beauty by surprise is when the dark gold lion licked her. It wasn't like nothing like she witness before. Her right paw lifted off the ground as Malka's tounge moved across her bottom muzzle to her cheek.
When Malka pulled away Kula sighed before slumping to the ground.
"There's more where that came from, beautiful."
With a wink the dark golden lion left. When he was out of sight Kula sighed dreamy.
