Thali lay down, suddenly feeling tired, quickly she fell asleep. Moments later Thali felt a hard kick waking her instantly

"What now?" Thali thought out loud. Thali then began grunting. Thali then knew what was happening. She was giving birth! Thali tried to roar for help but it was no use. Still panting and grunting Thali use the last of her spare strength

"KOVU HELP!" Thali gasped

Meanwhile…

"KOVU HELP!" Thali yelled from the cave

"Huh?" Kovu stopped what he was doing

"Well go on kill it then" Zira urged Kovu to kill the antelope in front of him

"Thali?" Kovu asked himself

"For Pete's sake Kovu, kill the damn thing!" Zira snarled. Kovu started to run to Thali's call

"Where are you going? Get back here!" Zira shouted

"But Thali's in trouble" Kovu continued to run

"Thali?" Kovu entered the cave "Thali are you ok?" Kovu gazed onto his loved one

"Kovu…" Thali then suddenly let out a shriek of pain

"Thali are you alright?" Kovu repeated

"Kovu… It's happening!" Thali panted

"What's happening Thali?" Kovu asked with concern

"I'm conceiving!" Thali shouted at him

"Oh…" Kovu stood there dumbstruck

"Why are you just standing there? Help me" Thali moaned in pain

"I'll get help" Kovu began to run out of the cave

"No Kovu! It's too late for that! One's coming now! I can feel it!" without another word a small honey coloured cub slipped out behind Thali. Kovu knew what to do from there, he started to clean the cub, whilst Thali went straight back into labour. Kovu gazed onto the cub's small body, it was a male, he had golden fur, just like Vitani's and creamy white paws. Thali interrupted Kovu's thoughts

"Kovu there are five more" Thali smiled weakly. Kovu looked at Thali's side, and so there where, five small cubs asleep by Thali's side

"Thali I'm so-" Thali's head was on her paws, and she didn't seem to be breathing

"Thali? Thali wake up!" Kovu shook her roughly. Thali's head shot up

"Thali I'm so proud of you" Kovu licked Thali's muzzle, she smiled warmly

"I have to tell Mother. I'll se you later dear" Kovu padded out of the cave smiling and humming a song to himself.

Thali has had cubs! Wahoo! But don't get to happy… It'll all change soon….
