The three had stopped for food and drink.

"Are you sure that you don't want any, Thali" Leona looked at Thali "you're starving yourself to death!" she tutted "Over that!" Thali looked at her stomach

"I know… But I want this so badly. Just a cub of my own, that I can love and cherish and not have to leave it" Damien knew he was needed. He went over to Thali's side and lay next to her

"Hey, it's ok. You're here now aren't you?" she nodded "So you're alive at least, eh? We'll always be here for you ok?" he licked her cheek softly

"Sorry that I yelled Thali. I just don't want you to die…" Leona started to cry

"Oh great! Thali you wouldn't mind giving us some private time would you?" he got up and began to nuzzle Leona, calming her.

"Sure" Thali then walked away from them catching a familiar scent in the air. Thali began to stalk it, as she got closer she saw a male lion with a black mane, pale fur and brown eyes. Hasani. Thali quickly pounced on him.

"Who-what…? Thali?" he pushed her off him and looked at her

"Hello…" Thali said dangerously. Hasani stepped closer to her.

"What are you doing here?" he asked still shocked

"Getting home again" Thali the growled "Your cub nearly cost my life!"

"I'm sorry" Thali sat down and broke into tears "Shh... It's alright" he sat down next to her

"No it's not! I'm starving to death!- Why did you leave me!" she roared in his face

"I had to- I mean- I was gonna come back when the cub was born" he replied desperately

"Then why are you here!" she yelled

"Daddy?" a small cub appeared from the bushes. Thali turned to Hasani and growled

"To err... Visit my cubs?" he said sheepishly.

"What...?" she gaped at him ignoring the cub "So you go around giving lionesses' cubs and coming back when they're born?"

"Yes"

"You loathsome, disgusting barst-Beast!" she did not want to curse in front of the cub

"Well maybe I am. But I'm happy with my life!" he then pushed the cub away. "But you do know Thali... You were the most beautiful lioness I've com across so far" he looked her up and down

"Really?" Thali asked. He began to circle her

"Really, really" he nuzzled her, inhaling her scent

"No Hasani!" she pushed him away "Look I'm already carrying your cub, so... Until the cub is born... Goodbye" Thali ran off.

"Goodbye..."

As Thali got closer to the cheetahs, she heard that Leona was laughing her head off.

'Seems like she's cheered up... But it sounds like they're... Uh oh!' she quickly ran to them to see... Leona lying down with Damien resting his head on her back.

"What were you two just doing?" Thali asked worriedly

"Oh- I was just telling Leona a few jokes" he winked at Leona making her giggle

"Oh really...?" Thali asked sarcastically

"Yes. That wink thing was a part of one of his jokes" Leona assured "What? Did you think we were doing...? You know what! Ha!" Leona started laughing "You're a funny lioness Thali!" she laughed

"Hehe... Yeah..." she smiled

"Let's go! Over the borders and just a mile away! Come on!" Damien said as they started to run. They soon arrived at Pride Rock... (Make that 'In a few hours they arrived')

"Well see ya around Thali!" they called to her as they ran into the Savannah.

"Bye!" she called after them. Thali walked into Pride Rock, to be greeted by everyone.

"Thali you can eat again" Kovu tossed her some flesh. Life was normal again...

A few months later

Thali was sun bathing on Pride Rock when suddenly she felt a huge kick inside her tummy.

"Oh no!" Thali screamed out. Disturbing all the lionesses around, making them rush towards her.

"Come on Thali push!" Kiara shouted

"What do you think I'm doing!" Thali roared in pain. An hour later Thali was near the end

"Thali its head is out! Push now!" Nala commanded. Thali did as she was told and new life was born into the world. Nala passed the cub to Thali; she instantly started to clean it. Then suddenly out of nowhere Hasani sprung to her side, the lionesses backed away

"Thali are you ok?" he licked her forehead

"Yes I'm fine. It's a girl Hasani!" Thali revealed her new cub "I'm calling her Somaia" the cub had silver fur, brown eyes, Thali's nose and Hasani's tail tuff; she was a very beautiful and rare cub. Simba then appeared

"Who are you? Why are you here? To claim Pride Rock? I'll fight you to the death!" Simba roared

"No thank you King Simba. I am only here to see my cub" Hasani bowed to Simba "I'm Hasani by the way" he then nuzzled Thali, whom smiled. Kovu appeared

"So this is your new mate?" he gulped

"Yes Kovu. And father to my new cub" she nuzzled Somaia gently

"Oh... Right" Kovu walked over to Kiara and nuzzled her.

"Well hello Hasani. Will you be staying the night?" Simba asked

"Yes. But not here. I've heard of what you do to new-comers" Hasani looked at Kovu "No, I shall be sleeping under the stars tonight" he then licked Thali again ad walked away

"Don't turn your back on the King!" Simba shouted

"I am so sorry Majesty!" Hasani started to walk backwards. Simba snorted. Thali gazed at her cub, she was going to be a special lioness cub...
