Thali gaped at the two lions.

"Are you ok?" asked Tear

"How do you know that your names are Tear and Moon?" Thali asked after an akward silence

"Dunno! Just rings a bell, why? Do you know our mother?" Moon asked excitedly

"You could say that…" Tear and Moon faces lit up

"Where is she?" Tear looked about hopefully

"Here…" Thali said

"You?" he asked. Thali nodded. Tears welled up in her eyes

"Mom!" Moon hugged her, so did Tear. Thali felt tears of happiness fall on her fur. Thali then pushed them away

"Let me look at you both" Thali looked her 'cubs' up and down; Moon was more beautiful than ever, her deep blue eyes shinning like the night sky. And Tear looked strong, he had a muscular form, he was handsome and tall, she then looked at his mane and face, his mane was fuller than Kovu's, but his eyes shone just as brightly as Kovu's but Thali couldn't help but fear what Simba would do.

"Can we meet Dad? Or is he… Gone" he asked staring at Pride Rock. Thali knew that if she took them back there would be questions and Simba about.

"Alright! You have to meet your father! Let's go!" Thali began running ahead "Come on you two keep up!" she shouted back. Moon and Tear followed her lead.


They soon arrived at Pride Rock.

"Stay out here" Thali told them as she went into the cave. Thali looked around for Kovu. He wasn't there. Then suddenly

"Who are you!" Kovu shouted from outside.

"Damn it!" Thali said. She ran outside to see Kovu growling at Moon, Kiara was with him, and Tear was cowering behind Moon.

"Kovu stop!" Thali roared. Kovu looked at her

"You know them?" Kiara asked stunned

"Yes. Kovu they have something to do with you" she stepped in front of Moon and Tear. It then hit Kovu.

"Don't Thali!" Kovu shouted

"What?" Kiara asked

"They're our cubs!" Thali snapped

"WHAT!" Kiara looked at Kovu and growled "You're two timing me!" Kiara burst into tears. Moon looked in astonishment at Kiara

"Are you ok?" Moon lifted up Kiara's head

"Don't touch her! You… You…" Kovu stopped

"Cub? Nobody calls my sister that and gets away with it!" Tear snarled at Kovu.

"What an earth is going on out here?" Simba came towards them

"Simba these are Thali's cubs" Kovu motioned to Moon and Tear, whom waved fearfully at him. Simba grunted

"More like Thali AND Kovu's cubs!" Kiara shouted

"What!" Simba growled at Kovu

"It was a long time ago! Honest! It was when I was being trained!" Kovu pleaded

"You must've only been 14 years old! (Human age that is) It's disgusting!" Kiara stepped away from him

"I think we'll have one less Pridelander tonight!" Simba snarled

"No you don't understand! I don't even love Thali! And I never have! It was just to get her to help Zira!" Kovu admitted. All the stares turned to Thali. She felt like she was frozen.

"Never loved me… YOU NEVER LOVED ME!" Thali roared. Kiara stopped feeling sorry for herself and raised her eyebrows.

"Kovu you lying, cheating, little mongrel! I put myself through the pain of childbirth for you! I blessed you with five beautiful cubs! I always knew that you were sneaky… But to do that! I hate you Kovu! I curse your family to the depths of Kayoma! (Evil place where bad lions go) I hate you Kovu! I hate-" Kovu hit her knocking her out cold. Moon stared at her mother's body

"You… You're our father? More like Scar himself!" Moon screamed

"How do you know him?" Kovu gasped.

"We've travelled and heard a lot about him and the Pridelands. It's not what it's cracked up to be. I'll tell ya that" Tear said knowingly.

"Kiara- Kiara what are you doing?" Simba asked. Kiara was bent over Thali looking at her sadly.

"What are you doing!" Simba growled

"Listen Daddy, she just may be another lioness to you, but not to me. She lost her father, and her mother"

"How do you know that?" Kovu interrupted

"Shut it Kovu! She had a bad life. So don't let her suffer. Please?" Thali began to awake

"Kiara? What are you doing helping me?" Thali said weakly. Kiara smiled

"Because you're more than just a lioness Thali, you're a Pridelander" Kiara helped Thali get up. Kiara looked at Kovu

"And as for you, Kovu, I think I'll cancel watching the stars tonight" with that Kiara walked in the cave. Simba nodded at Thali and followed. Leaving Kovu with Thali and his cubs.

"So… What are your names?" Kovu sat down

"Moon" Moon stepped towards her mother and nuzzled her

"Tear… Da- I mean sir" Tear caught a glimpse of Moon frowning

"Come 'ere you" Kovu chuckled and bounded over to his cubs nuzzling them. Thali smiled.

"Sir you're kinda squishing my head" Tear pointed out.

"Sorry. And call me Dad, ok?"

"Ok" Tear said pulling away and sitting down. Moon looked away from Kovu

"Ok? Daughter?" Kovu asked

"Ok… Dad" Moon nuzzled him.
