Yes, the queen has returned. Thank you all for the wonderful reviews.
"Mama, what was that sound?" Haki asked as he nuzzled into Nala's side.
Sarafina stood up and headed for the entrance of their cave. "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" Nala said before picking up Haki and following her mother.
...
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 seven month light brown cub with brown eyes.
"Mother, Nala! " Simba yelled as he ran over and brung the two lionesses in a hug.
"Mommy who's that?" Haki asked pawing at the light gold lioness' leg.
"'Mommy'?" Kion 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 with her ears against her head,"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 whitish gold lion looking down at her.
Sarafina smiled as she nuzzled her mate, "Sorrin! I'm so glad to see you!"
Sorrin briefly nuzzled the dark cream lioness before moving his brown eyes on his daughter.
"Sis, this is our dad." Simba said after looking at Nala's confused face.
"Oh," Nala said with a half hearted smile.
"Now can you tell us what's going on?" asked a fustruted Kion.
Nala sighed and nodded,"A few days after you and my brother were chased out-Kovu raped me..."
Kion and Simba roared so loud that it drafted 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 truly sorry what happened to you. But I love you too much to let this come between us." Kion said looking into Nala's light green eyes.
"You love me?" Nala gasped in disbelief.
Kion nodded before he nuzzled the bit older lioness, "Yes and I'm willing to love you as my mate and raise your cub as my own."
Nala smiled and nuzzled the prince,"I 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 fiancee."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 Pridelands 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 it's nothing compared to the Pridelands. His rightful kingdom.
"What are we going to do sir?" Leya asked.
Kovu looked from the horizon to the creamy white lioness, "We will get our revenge!"
