A few weeks has passed and Sherise and her twin was celebrating their year old birthday.

Sherise was lying on a ledge with her paws dangling over the edge. As some of the team and her family laid or sat around. Lying not far from the young dark brown lioness was Sabra. The light beige lioness stretched before looking up at her daughter.

"Sherise,"

The now year old didn't blink, her eyes stayed closed as her head laid on her crossed arms. "Hmm?"

"You been spending alot of time lately with Jesús. Is there anything we should know?"

Sherise opened her eyes and looked at her mother. "Why you ask that?"

Sabra looked around and noticed that everyone there was looking at them. Taking a deep breath Sabra turned back to her daughter. "I just don't want you to get hurt."

Sherise closed her eyes and smiled. "Jesús would never hurt me."

Desta frowned at that, not liking it at all. "Care to tell us why."

Sherise sighed deeply, might as well get this over with. The young lioness sat up and looked at everyone. "I have something to say...confess really."

Sariel looked at his granddaughter hard. "And what would that be?"

Sherise smiled at the mere thought of the red-brown lion. "I fell in love with a criminal."

Everyone gasped as they starred at the dark brown lioness.

Sherise looked at everyone with a bright smile."That's not all..."

"What else is there?" Sabra asked concerned filled her features.

Sherise closed her eyes and sighed. "I'm pregnant."

Everyone eyes widen as they starred in shock. Kopa stood up from his sitting motion and walked over.

"Did he...force you?"

Sherise's eyes widen before she growled. "No. It was a commitment! I love him!"

With a snarl Sherise jumped off her ledge and ran off.

~O~

"Jesús!"

The red-brown lion groaned before walking out of his cave to see no one but Kopa. He rolled his eyes and growled.

"What do you want?!"

Kopa growled back as he glared at his adopted brother. "How could you take that young girl's innocence!"

Jesús glared at the tawny lion, clearly annoyed. "What are you talking about?"

"Sherise! You took her innocence!"

Jesús nearly choked on the air that went down his throat. "What!"

"You force yourself..."

Kopa stopped mid sentence by Jesús roaring. "How dare you suggest something so..."

Kopa pinned his ears against his head as he lowered it. "She submitted?"

Jesús rolled his eyes. "How did you even know? Did she tell you I forced her?"

Kopa shook his head. "She said it was a commitment..."

Jesús growled. "And you didn't believe her!"

"Well neither did her family!"

Jesús gasped, no wonder why she said she understood.

"Jesús...there's something you should know."

The red-brown lion glared at his adopted brother.

"She's pregnant."

Jesús' eyes widen in surprise. "Where is she?!"

Before Kopa could say something a blue hornbill flew in between the two lions.

"Zazu?"

"Young sire. Your presence is needed. The Pride Lands is under attack!"

Kopa's green eyes widen. "By who?"

"Kovu."

Kopa growled before running off towards the direction of Pride Lands. With Zazu flying over the sprinting lion.

Jesús glared at the retreating form before going back to his prison cave.
