Time Period: Seven years later
Kiara's p.o.v (As a young adult)
Raindrops falling outside the cave startle me. I confuse this sound with the breaking of my water.
Painful contractions signal my cub's impending arrival. "Kovu, our cub is coming" I announce to my
sleeping husband. "I can get a midwife" he suggests. "No thanks. There is no time for that" I
decline. The urge to push is unbearable. I can't delay the birth any longer. Kovu serves as my
support person. We are little on edge because we experienced a miscarriage and stillbirth in the
past. Thankfully, our daughter Amara enters the world without a problem.
