The sun was high in the sky as the sound of children laughter rang through the air. A group of cubs ran through the lush green grass as a few lionesses watched nearby.
In the lead was a two month old dark beige cub. His orange eyes shining with excitement as he ducked and dodged as cubs pounced on him. One was able to to jump on the prince and make them roll. Soon the creamy cub found herself pinned.
"Ha! Pinned ya, Nala!" boasted the dark beige cub his dark brown rimmed ears twitching every now and then.
Nala rolled her green eyes before shoving her friend off her as a orange cub with a dark brown mane tuff on his head ran over with two other cubs.
"That was awesome, Simba!" said the orange cub his brown eyes full of excitement.
Simba puffed out his lighter beige chest with a proud smile. "I know."
A pale cream pelted cub laughed before moving his pale green eyes towards the orange cub. "See what you started, Malka."
A pale brown cub rolled her purple eyes before smiling at her dark beige friend. "Don't worry about Jethro. You were amazing, Simba."
The other cubs groaned as Zazu flew down to the cubs. "Young Prince Simba, you're requested to return home. Your parents wish to speak with you."
With a heavy sigh the prince bid his friends goodbye before heading towards priderock with the blue bird flying over.
~O~
Sarabi was lying in the small cave on the side of the royalties and their true followers. Sarafina, who is also expecting, and Uru laid not far from the heavily pregnant dark beige lioness.
"Did you and Mufasa come up with any names?" asked Uru smiled at her daughter-in-law.
Sarabi smiled back but she soon grew a look of pain as her smile faded and a painful roar erupted from her mouth. Uru got to her paws and ran over to the younger lioness.
"Sarafina get Mufasa!"
Nodding the pregnant tawny-beige lioness turned and ran from the cave to find her friend.
~O~
Mufasa was taking a afternoon stroll just thinking about if he should take his mother if she wanted to leave, Sarabi and Nala and leave.
Things are not looking well, the grass had gotten shorter and the animals have lessen more than they should. With a deep breath Mufasa turned to head towards priderock when he seen Sarafina racing towards him with blown dark green eyes.
"Sarafina...what's wrong?"
The tawny-beige lioness inhaled and exhaled before telling him what was so important. "Mufasa...Rabi went into labor!"
Mufasa's eyes widen before he took off at a blinding speed. Sarafina had to give her all to keep up. By the time they got to priderock, Sarafina stopped and started to pant and groan.
Before he climbed up the stairs, Mufasa looked and gasped at the sight of his friend and cousin-in-law.
"Sarafina..."
The tawny-beige lioness raised a paw. "Just please help me to the cave..."
Mufasa nodded and helped Sarafina up the rocky slope and into the infirmary or nursing cave, right by the top of the slope. When they entered Uru and Sarabi's eyes widen in concern.
"What happened!?" the dark nearly cried out at the sight of her cousin.
Sarafina laid on her side and began to do all the birthing nesserceries. Without knowing, the three watched the tawny-beige lioness give birth.
After bathing the cub, Sarafina smiled at the three.
"It's a girl,"
Mufasa smiled before looking at his mate who was chuckling lightly. Mufasa raised his eye brow at her and the dark beige lioness just smiled.
"We have a girl as well." Sarabi looked at her cousin and smiled. "What's her name?"
Sarafina smiled down at the white cub in her paws who was looking at her with hazel eyes. "Jaha,"
"That's pretty, Fina." Sarabi finally said softly with her brown rimmed ears down.
Mufasa looked at his mate with concern. "Sarabi, what's wrong?"
Sarabi sighed. "I haven't thought of one. I was thinking about male names."
Mufasa smiled before nuzzling the dark beige lioness. "It's alright, my love. I love you and adore you as well as our daughters."
Uru walked over and smiled at her granddaughter. The golden cub was mewing and looking up with bright blue eyes. The old brownish lioness smiled before looking at the couple.
"How about Kiara? After my grandmother, she had blue eyes like our little princess."
Mufasa and Sarabi shared a look before looking at the former queen and nodded. "It's perfect."
Uru nuzzled her granddaughter before getting up and walking out of the cave. Mufasa and Sarabi smiled at their daughter before talking about the upcoming future with Sarafina.
