If anyone is reading, the song used is Blessed The Broken Road by Rascal Flatts.
"I-" Alistair sighed deeply before looking into Kiara's eyes,
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Kiara gasped as the words that came out of Alistair's mouth. But she smiled lovingly and joined in,
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That great kings and queens blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you(Yes they did)
Alistair stopped singing and looked at Kiara. Kiara looked into his green eyes before getting up and walking off a bit.
Then she turned her head and smiled,
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my paw
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Alistair smiled as he sang as he stood up,
Yeah
Kiara smiled and walked back to the tawny lion and nuzzled up against his black mane as they sang together,
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That great kings and queens blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Kiara and Alistair stared into each other's eyes as they sang from their hearts,
That great kings and queens blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
-O-
A month went by and everything went back to normal, well almost normal. As the sun began to rise, the pride began to wake and start their day.
Skye stretched and yawned. She saw her mother walking out of the cave for her morning walk.
"Mother!" Skye yelled as she ran over to the queen.
Sherise smiled and nuzzled her daughter, "Morning."
Skye nuzzled her mother, "Morning, can I join you for your morning walk?"
Sherise smiled, "Of course."
The two lionesses walked down the rocky slope and into the savannah.
"So mom, do you think we will ever see dad... I mean our birth dad again?"
Sherise looked down, "I really hope not."
Skye nodded and looked back ahead. As they were walking towards the watering Skye stopped and ran to a nearby bush and threw up.
"Sweetie, are you alright?" Sherise asked as she ran over.
Skye turned towards her mother and the queen took a sniff and stepped back.
"What's wrong, mother?"
Sherise smiled, "You have a new scent to you."
Skye was confuse as she tilted her head.
Sherise smiled as her eyes shined, "I'm going to be a grandmother!"
-O-
"Nayir!"
The young gold coated lion was walking with Jasper when Kamaria ran over.
"Kamaria, what's wrong?" Nayir asked his purple eyes full of concern.
Kamaria caught her breath and said, "Skye's pregnant."
Nayir couldn't believe his ears, "My sister is going to be a mother?"
Kamaria nodded her head.
"I'll kill that wolf!" Nayir growled before running off.
"Nayir!" Kamaria yelled as she ran after her fiancee.
Jasper shook his head before turning to continue his walked when he touched noses with someone.
"Ohhh!"
Jasper shook his head and saw a pair of pretty green orbs staring at him. He moved his eyes down and saw that the eyes belonged to a beautiful young light gold coated lioness blushed,
"Um...so sorry, Princess Jolina."
The light gold lioness giggled, "No problem."
Jasper smiled, "I was just walking...um...would you like to join me?"
Jasper smiled which made the pale cream lion melt, "I would love that."
-O-
Months past and the cubs started to grow into their teen bodies.
Mheetu has grown to be a few inches shorter than all the adult males. He has a pale brown mane starting to form.
Sabini is a few inches shorter than the adult lionesses.
Mateo is the same height as Mheetu with the beginnings of a dark brown mane and muscals starting to form. What handsome prince he's becoming.
Also there's a new member that's starting to walk and talk.
"Mama! Mama!"
Skye was lying by the water hole when a eleven week old dark grey pup with a black tuff and dark brown eyes came running over.
Skye smiled as she nuzzled her son, "Had fun with your cousin and uncle?"
The pup nodded as his eyes shined, "Yea! Cousin Jackson told me about how he helps Grandma Sherise and Grandpa Jesús! Uncle Nayir taught me how to pounce!"
"Oh, you know who's the best the pouncer?"
The pup shook his head as he looked at his mother with excitement.
"Well that would be me."
Skye and her son looked and saw Mateo smiling down at them.
"You are Uncle Matty?"
Mateo chuckled as he ruffed up his nephew's tuff, "I sure am. And if it's alright with your mother, I'll give you a few pointers."
The pup looked back at his mother with bright, pleading eyes. Skye laughed as she nodded her head.
"Yeah!" The pup shouted as he jumped around his mother.
Mateo chuckled, "Come on, whirlwind."
The pup laughed before walking off at the dark beige prince's side.
-O-
In the Outlands things have been even more harsh, Cullen and Astra have been growing beautifully.
Cullen is a few inches shorter than Simba and his father, Abasi. The pale white teen has a dark blonde mane growing.
Astra is almost as tall as Lyza, her tawny coat is rich and her eyes mirror her maternal grandmother's.
"Ahh, isn't my daughter looking as lovely as ever." purred Simba as he and Abasi was patrolling.
Abasi nodded, "I bet if she wasn't your daughter, you take her."
Simba looked at the creamy brown lion as a new glint formed in his eyes; lust, "That haven't stopped lions before."
