Wow, I'm updating sooner than I thought! Thankyou all kind reviewers I LOVE the feedback!

I will try to read more of your fics as I like to take the time to read those fics of others who have taken the time to read mine, although if yours are about books/movies I haven't' read of or seen before the reviews should be interesting lol

Ralli, It is such a compliment that my fic is inspiring some artwork, if you ever do get around to finishing one I would love to see it!

Anyway I think that's enough of my rambling so here's another chappy.

Chapter 11

The same night that Kiara arrived at the oasis, Nala was beginning to feel a lot of movement from the unborn cub (or cubs). Simba was getting a little concerned about her because over the past few day she had been vomiting a lot, and had a decrease in appetite. Kovu and Vitani helped her out a lot when Simba was out surveying the pride lands, after all the new edition would be Kovu's brother or sister in law.

"Nala? Are you ok?" asked Vitani, who was lying next to Nala in the outside cool evening air.

"I'll be fine," replied Nala, enjoying the missed feeling of the wind against her fur as she had been cooped up inside Pride rock for a while.

"You barely ate anything today and it was Zebra, your favourite," continued Vitani.

"Yes, I know," said Nala, "It's just one of those strange things that happen when your pregnant, some things you hate you crave for and things you like you don't. I remember when I was pregnant with Kiara I couldn't stand gazelle, and had cravings for wilder beast." Nala grinned a bit before she added " Poor Sarabi, I drove their hunting party insane."

"But it's not just the Zebra, for the last few days you haven't eaten much at all"

" Yes, well…. I would but I can't seem to keep anything down at the moment," answered Nala. "Strange thing is though," added Nala, " I don't remember feeling this much movement last time until the last few days before the birth…. but Rafiki said that I shouldn't give birth for at least another 11 rises of the sun." After this she gave a long sigh, in which Vitani felt she detected a hint of worry.

"It must be strange to have something moving about inside you," Vitani said to distract Nala from her concern.

"It is, but it's all worth it," smiled Nala.

"I would like to have a cub someday," sighed Vitani.

"I'm sure you'd make a great Mum."

" I hope so…but there isn't a exactly a great selection of prospective mates here,"

"Don't worry, I sure you'll find someone," said Nala putting her paw reassuringly on Vitani's.

Vitani didn't reply and just looked off into the distance.

Nala felt she needed to fill the silence, so she decided now was the time for her to ask Vitani what she had been meaning to for a long time.

"Vitani," she started. "You have been such a great help to this pride and have been doing such a great job recently at hunting…. and I think just now you have proven that you have a lot of love to give, so Simba and I have decided that we would be honoured if you could be our cubs godmother."

Vitani was speechless, she rarely felt so wanted, and this brought a smile on her face from ear to ear. "I would like that very much."

After a little more chatting regarding cubs and good cub names, Vitani helped Nala up and lead her back to the den, where she almost fell instantly asleep, next to Simba.

The sunlight and lush wet smell of the jungle awoke Kiara from her long night's sleep. She had been through a lot, and was still feeling a bit embarrassed about what had happened yesterday. 'I can't believe what an idiot I was! I kept telling Dad how grown up and responsible I was and then I come here and cause an unnecessary uproar of panic.'

Kiara was taking it very hard; she then looked over to see if Timon and Pumbaa were up. Pumbaa was there, snoozing happily on his back occasionally mumbling to himself about grubs, but Timon was no where to be seen. She was able to detect his fresh scent and followed it to a quiet place where she found Timon sitting by himself on a log (In case your interested this is the log where young Simba had his first bug meal).

Kiara decided to sneak up on him, so she got down low into a stalking position and edged ever closer to the meerkat, who had his back facing her. When she was close enough she pounced knocking the meerkat off the log and onto the ground between her paws.

"Yahhhhhhh!" yelled Timon not knowing what hit him. He lay there with his eyes covered until he felt a large warm tongue lick his entire top half.

"GOOD MORNING!" said Kiara, who was quite pleased with herself, for catching him by surprise.

"Morning," said Timon in a bit of a monotone, as he stood up and tried to wipe the saliva off his fur.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Kiara.

" Gee, I don't know," began Timon putting on a fake thinking face, "… maybe it could be because, I was just pounced onand tasted by a full grown lioness!" continued Timon playfully giving the side of her face a swipe.

"Don't worry, you don't taste very nice anyway!" teased Kiara sticking out her tongue and pulling a face. "But besides that," she continued more seriously, "what's wrong?"

"Nothing," said Timon starting to walk out of the area between the still lying Kiara's front paws. Suddenly Kiara moved her paws together blocking his path.

"Timon, I've known you my whole life, so there's no point telling me there's nothing wrong when there clearly is!"

"What makes you so sure?" replied Timon turning back to face her face putting his paws on his hips.

"Well, for one, when we got back last night you barely said anything, you just went to sleep."

"I was tired," said Timon dismissing it.

"Timon, you NEVER don't talk!"

"Okay okay, point taken."

"So are you going to tell me what's wrong?" asked Kiara with a raised eyebrow.

"Promise not to laugh?" queried Timon.

"Cross my heart and hope to die," replied Kiara doing the action with her right paw.

" Ok…." Began the meerkat. "Well, you know how Zazu's been staying here?"

"Yeah" nodded Kiara who was a little excited, as she loved to hear a little gossip now and then.

"…. And you know how he's been staying with Ma right?"

"Yeah"

"Well…. they have become quite…um…close."

"What do you mean by close?"

"I mean holding hands, laughing and hugging close," replied Timon wrapping his arms around him while saying 'hugging' to exaggerate the point.

"Awe! How CUTE!" squealed Kiara.

"NO!" huffed Timon, putting one of his paws on top of her muzzle "NOT CUTE!" he expressed putting the other paw down to join the other.

"Well, what's wrong with it?" asked Kiara moving her head as she said so causing the small animal to loose his balance and fall to the ground.

"What's wrong with it is that they like each other way too much! And I think he has feelings for her and I know for a fact that she has feelings for him."

"How do you know that?"

Timon sighed, "I asked her."

"I still don't see what wrong with it, it seems so sweet!"

"Kiara do me a favour close your eyes," instructed Timon in a soothing voice, while the princess did as she was told, "now I want you to imagine this, you live in a beautiful lush oasis with falling leaves a loving Mum and allis peaceful until one day…ZAZU BECOMES YOUR FATHER!"

"Ahhh" screamed Kiara opening her eyes. "I didn't think of that, that would be so strange for you!"

"Oh yeah"

"I mean so far as I know you guys don't even get on so well"

"We don't"

"Hmm that is a problem…" said Kiara seriously. " I like them both and think it would be sweet to see them as a couple," here Timon did a barfing motion. "…But looking at it from your point of view it would just seem so wrong to have someone you always disagree with become your step father."

Timon nodded, happy that she could see his predicament.

"Did you tell her how you feel?" asked Kiara.

"Well sorta…. but I kinda feel sorry for here because Dad died a long time ago and for a long while she has felt a need for companionship."

"Oh that's so sweet! You want whats best for your Ma"

"Yeah well, I'm trying not to worry too much anyway…I mean Zazu will be gone soon so it doesn't really matter wether they feel for each other or not," shrugged Timon.

"Hmmm…. I guess not," said Kiara a little saddened because although she did sympathize with Timon, she really hated the idea of two animals that are lonely with strong feelings for each other to be forced apart.

"Hakuna Matata!" said Timon, "Lets go wake up Pumbaa and go get some breakfast!"

Then he started to head back towards the sleeping area to get Pumbaa with more of a spring in his step. Kiara sighed then followed her friend.

All for now! I was going to write more but it would be too long and not fit in nicely, but I may add it to the next chappy! Hope you enjoyed this one!
