As the weeks carried on Jata's pregnancy had traveled throughout the kingdom. The animals were excited about the new heir.

On one afternoon Queen-Mother Kiara went into labor. Simba rushed out to get Rafiki. As everyone left the cave, minus Jata with a very swollen belly; Jaha, Nala, Sarafina, Sarabi and Mireya.

"It's going to be ok, Ki'." said Nala nuzzling her friend's head.

But Kiara wasn't new to this, she pushed out three cubs before, so this wasn't new. So with a deep breath she pushed.

"Almost there." said Sarabi.

Kiara clenched her teeth and pushed.

"Aww!" cooed Sarafina.

Sarabi put the new cub in it's mother's paws and stepped back and watched her daughter clean her newest grandcub.

Once cleaned everyone seen the appearance of the cub. The cub had light golden fur with a black tail tuff.

"Aww, she's beautiful." smiled Jaha.

"Look she's opening her eyes." said Mireya and Nala.

The cub blinked her eyes opened to revealed two emarald green orbs. Most gasped but the queen.

Jata rolled her amber eyes, "Have you all forgot we're related to Scar. My grandfather is Scar's brother!"

Everyone quiet down as Rafiki walked in. The old mandrill walked over to the light beige lioness and looked her and the cub over.

"Ah you and your new cub are alright." said Rafiki before looking at the queen and placing his hand on her belly, "You have another month to go."

Jata nodded and smiled at the Royal Mjuzi, "Thanks, friend."

Rafiki gave the queen's head a pat before walking out. Soon Simba came running in with Mufasa, Jesús and Alistair.

"She's beautiful!" said Simba nuzzling his mate.

"What's her name?" Mufasa asked.

"I was thinking.. Jolina after my great-great grandmother." Kiara licked her daughter's head before looking back at her mate.

Simba nuzzled Kiara again and said, "I love it."

Everyone left the cave to let the family be alone. Jata who could of stayed, but left to find Sherise. The dark brown cub is now five months.

Sherise gets along with Malka, Nala, Mufasa, Alistair, Kiara, Sarabi, Jaha and most of the pride. She's especially close to Jesús and she tries to stay clear of Simba, Sarafina, Abasi and the other half of the pride.

They don't like the idea of a child of Kovu is living among them. So Sherise sticks close to Jata and Jesús as much as possible. Jata along with Jesús has even started teaching her how to hunt and the five month old cub is a natural.

When she reach her first year, Sherise will go on her first hunt. Even though that's for royals, but Jatasaid she could have one and a feast for her triumph return.

Other than that life for Sherise is good, she may not have no friends her age, but Jata and Jesús plays with her when they can.

In the upcoming month Sherise will be learning the history of the Pridelands.

-O-

Kambili paced angry as he snarled with drool driping. He just find out from his father's now his mistress, Zira that there wasn't a head count and he has to wait another year.

So his amry could regroup, but he knew that even though it's going to be awhile, nothing can stop him and his brother from taking over the Pridelands and avenging their father and grandfather. With a evil laugh, the dark tan coated lion headed in his and brother's cave for the night.

Revenge is a dangerous thing. Poor Sherise, she has it rough, huh? So tell me what you think.
