CandyLuv99; First off, congratulations. Hope everything works out. Need a daughter for Kgosi, Jadis' son. As for Starra and Nyah, well that will come to light soon. Thanks for the review.

On to chapter forty-two of Pride And Prejudice.

Enjoy!

A month and a half has passed since King Simba's talk with his mother. Two very busy months, Simba has been thrown into countless disputes, mainly with the gazelles and zebras. Since the kingdom has almost been fully restored to it's former state more animals have returned, causing him to have more meetings with the leaders. Especially when more carnivores returned.

In that month and a half Kula gave birth to two daughters fathered by Gwen's oldest son Luis, Christina and Joyce.

Gwen gave birth but it was a still born and that sent her further into madness.

Almost a month later Princess Starra went into labor along with Nyah.

While they waited on the cubs to be born, Artem and Nadir's mate, Jua walked up the slope.

Desta walked over and embraced his mate as Nadir did the same.

The brownish lion smiled at his black pelted mate before giving her with a nuzzle. "What did Rafiki say?"

The pale brown lioness smiled at her best friend before looking at Desta. "My little one is going to have a playmate."

Desta looked at Artem with wide dark brown eyes before he embraced the black lioness with a goofy smile. "This is amazing!"

Sarabi walked up with a smile. "Congratulations. The pride will soon have a lot of little ones running around."

Sarafina smiled at the group near the slope. She was happy but also confused. She, well nobody knew that Nyah was pregnant and by who? There hasn't been much rogues passing by minus the small group of females recently spotted.

The pale cream lioness had an idea who could be the father and it absolutely scared her, especially since she couldn't stop thinking about the information she received.

It was a few weeks after Simba returned and defeated her ex-mate. She was in a party scouting for prey when they were blind sided by a pack of hyenas. Lead by a hyena Sarafina remembers as Baka, a real nasty one.

But it was unexpected when Shenzi, Banazi and Ed charged in and helped. Before they left after chasing Baka and his group off, Shenzi said something she should of seen coming.

"You should know that Das didn't just run away. Scar had me and my pack kill him."

Sarafina was speechless. But now what to do if her daughter was forced by her sister's father?

"Simba,"

Sarafina shook her head and turned to see Sarabi approaching her pacing son.

The young gold lion stopped pacing but concern and worry was in his orange eyes for his sister.

"Simba, listen to me carefully. There's something you need to know."

Simba looked at his mother hard trying to figure out what she's going to say.

"Simba, I don't know why but your uncle attacked Starra. Which at the end got her pregnant and-"

Simba's eyes widened as he roared in outrage. "You're telling me Scar raped my sister! His own niece! Why am I just hearing about it now!"

Sarabi lowered her head and pinned her dark brown rimmed ears. "I didn't know how to tell you and you already had a lot to deal with. Getting the kingdom back together and... I-I-," the dark beige lioness cried. "I am truly sorry son,"

Simba frowned before embracing his mother. "No need to apologize. I'm sorry for reacting the way I did.. it's just.. this isn't what I expected."

Sarabi nodded before she turned to the small cave just as Rafiki and Uru exited the entrance.

...

After Rafiki left and Uru went to send out a hunting party. Simba along with Sarabi, Sarafina and Nala entered.

While Simba and Sarabi went to Starra, Nala and Sarafina headed over to Nyah.

"Who's the father?"

The creamy lioness' smile faltered before she glared at her mother. "Not even going to ask how I'm doing or your grandcubs! Bet if it was Miss Perfect Nala, you would have!"

Nala looked at her sister with confusion in her green eyes. "What are you even talking about?"

Nyah glared at her sister and mother. "Mother lied to me! Not only that she didn't even think that I would be capable of finding help!"

"That wasn't my decision!" Sarafina growled. "Uru wanted your sister, who was I to say otherwise!" after taking a deep breath, Sarafina looked at her daughters. "Your attitude just proved my fears."

Nala looked from her sister to her mother. "Mom, what's going on?"

Sarafina sighed. "Nyah wasn't attacked like Starra. She willingly mated with Scar." with a deep breath she continued. "You two need to know the truth."

"What are you talking about mother?" Nyah questioned. "What truth?"

Sarafina turned her light green eyes on her youngest. "Your father was killed by hyenas on order by Scar."

Sarabi gasped and shook her head but didn't say anything. Simba and Starra were just as confused as each other.

Sarafina had tears falling from her eyes as she looked at Nala. "Before Nyah's father, Das, I was mated to Scar. Who is your father, is why you were bethroled to Simba to protect you."

"Protect me? From what? What could Scar have done!" Nala cried out. She should have known but how could she?

"Scar killed his entire guard. Who wouldn't aid him in overthrowing Mufasa." Sarafina explained but it hurt. She truly loved Scar before he changed.

The sound of mewing caused the three to turn their attention to the two cubs nursing. One was brownish as the other was creamy brown.

Nyah nuzzled her cubs before smiling at her mother and sister. "Meet Minos and Felisa,"

Nala was still stunned by the information she received. The tawny lioness stood and quickly left the cave.

Simba frowned before turning to his own his sister and her cubs. For Starra, one cub was light gold as the other was white like the moon.

Starra was skeptical about giving birth to her uncle's cubs but she loved them. "Mheetu and Mwezi,"

Simba smiled lightly before leaving the cave. After exiting the cave, the gold King took a deep breath and thought about what he should do now.

~PP~

A month more has passed. Jua and Artem's pregnancies were going well. It wouldn't be long before they give birth.

New life has been happening around the Pridelands. Aminifu, the elephant leader who helped the kingdom get back together after he defeated Scar, was expecting another child as were many of the elephants in the herd.

Many of the other animals were expecting or giving birth and got Simba thinking about what his mother said about finding a queen.

Simba had no idea who would be a good candidate to be queen. Besides Nala, it took bravely to venture into the unknown to seek help and she was selfless, kind and beautiful.

"Hey little brother!"

Simba turned to see Malka trot over. He greeted his gold brother with a head bump. "How's everything?"

Malka sighed shaking his head. "I wish I came to tell you better news but I was just informed by Nadir and Desta that some animals have been slaughtered."

Simba couldn't believe his ears. If it wasn't one thing it's another.
