Hello! I have returned from the land (well the city) of Melbourne. Actually I returned about a week ago but have been lazy again. Any way basically I had a good time it was cold but not as cold as I thought it would be (which was a good thing). I shopped my little heart out and now am offering to do extra shifts at the supermarket to make up for all the money I spent. If anyone from London is reading I was very sorry to hear about those explosions and hope that you and your family are safe. I just don't understand terrorists; it's all just so awful!

Anyway time to thank my reviewers

Bounding Jackalope: Gives you a virtual hug Yay you were reviewer 100! Thankyou for the review!

MorpheusDreamer: I'm sure you not the only guy in this section, but if you are good on you for breaking the mold! So are you going to be a lecturer? How cool! Yes I think I probably am going to give Timon a heart attack! I always love it how he has the motto of no worries a.k.a Hakuna Matata yet seems to be one of the most easily stressed out characters in the films, oh the irony :)

Narfgirl: Thankies for the review! Yes I did have fun on my holiday : ) Glad you liked the Rafiki appearance, I love his character but in a way dread writing dialogue for him as I find him to be tricky to write for but since I have heard no complaints it must have been ok, so thankyou! As for Nala we shall see how it all goes.

Ralli-Rah: I too don't think Timon would enjoy seeing the ' most disgusting but great miracle of life' as you so cleverly put it lol. Sorry I didn't manage to squeeze in another chappy but here's one now to make it up to you:).

SunRise19: Thanks for the review! Maybe someone will run back to get Rafiki…maybe they wont, we shall soon find out!

Maran Zelde: Thanks for the reviews! Don't worry I LOVE blabber! Yes I agree it is fun to annoy small animals as long as it is not done cruelly (I like to irritate my cat too). I think Simba would enjoy messing with Timon because of his size but also because they are so close (and I think Timon would also find ways to get him back for it too). Glad you enjoyed the chapter!

Took-Baggins: No I'm not going to give these guys a break cackles evilly Glad to hear you enjoy my story!

On to the story. By the way I'm going to putxxxxxxxxxxxto separate the scenes.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nala's contractions started fairly quickly. The queen tried to put on a brave face but all could see she was in a great amount of pain. Simba looked around frantically for a moment, as he was not expecting this, Maha was quick to rush over to Nala and help her with her breathing as she had acted as a kind of midwife to many meerkats in the past. Zazu now wished more than ever that he was not injured and was feeling pretty useless.

Simba didn't want to leave Nala out in the open even though technically he would be the fastest to go and get help. He was all too aware that if he left and the cubs were born in the open jackals, wild dogs and other carnivores would be quick to follow the scent of blood to that very spot. All he knew was he had to get Nala out of there.

The usually slow-witted Pumbaa was surprisingly the first to take action. He quickly stood to one side of Nala and motioned Simba to do the same. Simba quickly caught on to what Pumbaa was getting at and he quickly stood on the other side and together they supported the lioness so she could stand.

"Ok," began Simba, " Pumbaa and I are going to try to take Nala to Pride Rock as we are closer to home than Rafiki's tree, Timon could you run as fast as you can and fetch Rafiki?"

"I'm on my way," exclaimed the meerkat giving a salute, who was quite relieved to leave the scene of the labouring lioness before things got…well let's just say messy.

Zazu and Maha decided to follow Nala and the other large animals as Maha felt she could be of more assistance though monitoring Nala's progress and Zazu knew he couldn't run very fast on land anyway.

Nala was trying very hard to push herself forward towards Pride Rock. But this proved very difficult as her contractions were forever getting closer together, and although Pumbaa was a great help, he being shorter then her gave her not much to lean on her left side.

"It's ok dear... your going to make it," reassured Maha who had seen that Nala's didn't have enough support on her left and had hence with Zazu jumped on the warthogs back and was trying to offer a little more side support.

"It's too soon," puffed Nala, "this wasn't suppose to happen for a few more days."

" It's ok everything going to be fine," said Simba trying to help his mate relax.

"Don't worry, we're here for you," added Pumbaa.

"But what if there's something wrong?" wailed Nala through another contraction.

"We'll only worry about that if it happens, for now lets just worry about getting you to safety," said Ma, as Zazu patted the lionesses fur in attempt to sooth her.

Timon was running as fast as his little legs could carry him, he even went down on all fours for a while in attempt to go faster. On his way he saw Vitani and Kiara in the distance. Kiara had obviously got up sometime while they were at Rafiki's and was trying to work on her hunting skills. Timon knew he needed to get to Rafiki's as soon as possible but also knew that Simba and the others could probably use some more help. Timon was still a fair distance from Rafiki's tree and was getting tired so he made the snap decision to change course and made for the two lionesses.

"Hey," yelled the meerkat at the top of his lungs when he was close enough.

The two lionesses stopped what they were doing for a moment and looked around for the familiar voice.

"Over here!" called the meerkat again, jumping up and down hoping they could see him in the long grass.

Vitani was the first to spot him and hearing the urgency in his voice they both rushed over.

"What is it?" asked Kiara once they found him.

"It's Nala, she's in labour," explained the meerkat though exhausted breaths, "we were walking back from Rafiki's and her water broke, she needs help getting back to Pride Rock…"

"Oh no poor Mum!" said Kiara and immediately got ready to dash off to the rescue, but Timon quickly added, "I need to get Rafiki ASAP, can one of you help me?"

Both lionesses looked at each other before Vitani finally said, "You go help your mother Kiara, come on Timon," she demanded lowering her head to let the meerkat climb on, "lets go get Rafiki."

"Thank you!" said Kiara running in the direction of pride Rock hoping to find her mother quickly.

Vitani bolted in the direction of Rafiki's tree with Timon riding on her head hanging on for dear life, as Vitani was the fastest lioness in the pride. He never really felt comfortable around Vitani as there was something wild and untamed about her but she was certainly good in an emergency situation.

"Rafiki!" called Vitani from the bottom of the tree, once they had arrived. "Come down quick!"

"What is da matter?" asked the mandrill concerned after hopping down out of his tree.

Vitani quickly put her head under his legs and scooped him onto her back, almost causing the mandrill to squash the meerkat in the process.

"I'll explain on the way," announced Vitani as she bounded off in the direction of Pride Rock.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Pumbaa and Simba had done a pretty good job of helping Nala to the Rock, which was now not very far away at all. Kiara caught up to them quickly and took Pumbaa's place at Nala's left side. Nala was still being very strong but her contractions were so close together now and so painful she knew she had to lie down, and soon. Kiara had helped her mother walk about 10 metres when the queen suddenly said, "I. I have to lie down.."

"We're nearly there Mum," said Kiara.

"NO! I NEED TO LIE DOWN NOW!" screamed Nala through a sudden jolt of pain.

Simba and Kiara exchanged glances and gently eased Nala back onto the ground.

"We should be alright, we are close enough to Pride Rock to be out of the way of immediate danger," said Simba, "I just hope Timon was able to get Rafiki in time…"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Whoa, this is nuts!" exclaimed the meerkat who was now practically in Rafiki's lap as the mandrill held onto the speedy lionesses shoulders. The wind blew in their faces and both were amazed at how fast Vitani could run while carrying both of them.

"I see them!" announced Vitani, who then amazingly ran even faster towards the animals in the distance.

In no time they were there, and Rafiki quickly rushed over to the lionesses side and instructed her to push.

Timon also slid off Vitani, and walked over to the scene quickly cringing and turning away the moment blood appeared.

(a/n don't worry I'm not going to go into explicit detail about the whole process!)

Over the next hour or so, many moans roars and screams were heard and all but Simba and Rafiki kept a bit of distance giving Nala some space. Simba sat so one side of his mate and placed is paw on her's while Rafiki worked with her um…business…end.

Soon a little squeak was heard as Rafiki held up a little bundle of fur and quickly gave it to Nala who immediately started to lick and clean up. The squeak quickly drew the attention of the onlookers too, although Timon had to quickly turn away again to prevent throwing up at what the cub was covered in.

"It's beautiful!" said Simba while her gave his mate a gentle lick and admired the cub.

"Is it a girl or a boy?" called out Zazu.

"Nala, had a quick check while cleaning the newborn before announcing happily "It's a girl!"

"Squeee I have a sister!" squealed Kiara dancing around excitedly, but before she could finish her happy dance another moan from Nala silenced her.

Soon Rafiki found himself handing another cub to Nala, who she once again immediately started to clean.

But before she had even finished cleaning this cub she found herself pushing again and yes out came another! Nala was very busy cleaning these cubs while the other animals finally felt it was safe to come closer and have a look at the new litter.

The cubs appeared to be healthy although a little smaller than usual as they came out prematurely.

"I'm a sister 3 times!" cried Kiara happily.

"Oh their so precious!" said Maha coming close enough to have a look, the first born girl had a little bat at her as she came and all chuckled.

"Awe!" commented Pumbaa, "More little Simba's and Nala's!"

Simba gave his mate another nuzzle and had a good look at the tiny cubs in her paws,

"The second born is another female!" he said happily.

"And the youngest is a little boy," cooed Nala.

"Yay another sister and a brother!" squealed Kiara again before hushed by Nala who was worried she was scaring the cubs a little.

"Sorry" blushed Kiara.

"Ma," whispered Timon to Maha.

"Yes dear," she replied.

"Don't you find it a little sad they we are about the same size if not smaller then these cubs who have just been born?"

Maha just gave him a fake wack on the head.

After allowing Nala to rest for a while she lifted the first-born female, Simba the second and Kiara the male, and took them carefully up into the cave of pride rock where they could be safe.

"In my many years as advisor I must say the thrill of new life, has always been a highlight," said Zazu to Maha as they too walked toward the cave.

"Don't even think about it," joked Timon as he riding on Pumbaa passed the two.

There we go the end of another chapter and there is sadly probably only going to be one or two chapters following. Hope you enjoyed that I found this quite hard to write so I do hope you enjoy it!

TTFN Ta ta for now!
