"Mommy, what was that sound?" Mireya asked as she nuzzled into Nala's side.
Sarafina stood up and headed to the cave entrance. "It sounds like someone's claiming the throne."
"But who?" Nala asked as she sat up.
"I'll go check it out." Sarafina said walking out of the cave.
"I'll come too." said Nala picking up Mireya and following her mother.
-O-
Kiara and her pride sat inside the large cave talking and what not."What happened to Scar's followers?" Kiara asked as she leaned on Simba.
"They retreated to the Outlands." Simba said licking Kiara's head.
"Hello?"
Everyone turned to the cave entrance and saw Sarafina and Nala with a small light brown cub with bright green eyes.
"Mother, Nala! " Simba yelled as he ran over and pulled the two creamy lionesses in a hug.
"Mommy, who's that?" Mireya asked.
"Mommy?" Kopa and Kiara asked with wide, confused eyes.
Sarafina and Nala looked up and couldn't believe their eyes,
"Kiara? Is it really you?"
Kiara smiled as she hugged the two lionesses.
Nala pulled away and looked down and said,"I guess you want to know why I have a cub?"
"Yes, and who's the lion I have to strangle!"
Nala looked up and saw a large built tawny coated, black mane lion who looks like her brother looking down at her.
Sarafina smiled as she nuzzled her mate, "Alistair! I'm so glad to see you!"
Alistair smiled lightly as he nuzzled and licked his mate.
"Sis, this is our dad." Simba said after seeing his sister's confused face.
"Oh," Nala said with a half hearted smile.
"Now can you tell us what's going on?" asked a frustrated Kopa.
Nala sighed before explaining,"The day after you and Simba was chased out and days after-Kovu raped me..."
Kopa and Simba roared so loud that it rivaled the thunder outside.
"Simba, calm down. Kovu is in the Outlands and by now he and everyone is banished. If they return than we will deal with them." Kiara said nuzzling her love.
"Words spoken from a true queen." smiled Mufasa as he and Sarabi walked over with Ahadi and Uru.
Kiara smiled at her parents and grandparents before leaning back on Simba.
"Nala, I'm terribly sorry what happened to you. But I love you too much to let this come between us." Kopa said looking into Nala's green eyes.
"You love me?" Nala gasped in shock. She never thought it was possible.
Kopa nodded and said, "Yes and I'm willing to love you as my mate and raise your cub as my own."
Nala smiled and nuzzled the prince and said,"I would love to be your mate."
"Awwww!" came the voices from the pride.
Simba looked down at Kiara and smiled.
Kiara looked up and smirk before pinning the black mane lion down."We're all ready engaged. Remember?"
Simba nodded and nuzzled his future-mate."Of course, dear."
The pride laughed at the couple before turning in for the night.
-O-
Kovu paced in the Outlands. The Outlands weren't dead like the Pride Land is now or the elephant grave yard. The land has some greenery and some prey animals. As there is a very large creek that laid not far from the caves. But its nothing compared to the Pride Lands.
"What are we going to do sir?" Saiya asked while standing besides her sister.
Kovu looked from the horizon to the creamy tan lioness, "We will get revenge for my father!"
