I don't own any of the characters! Including Kopa!
"Beautiful night isn't it?" Nala says to Simba as they walk through the Pride Lands on that quiet starry night.
"Yeah...so was there some reason that you wanted to go out on a walk?" Simba asks
"What, we can't just spend time together?" Nala asks playfully mad
"Well I didn't mea..."
"Simba, calm down! There is a reason I brought you out here."
"Really? What is it?"
"I'm not really all that sure how you are going to take this, but I hope your alright with it..."
"Just tell me, I can handle it."
"Ok, I'm just going to come right out and say it... Simba I'm pregnant."
"What?... Am I the father?!"
Nala laughs and nuzzles Simba. "Of course it's yours, who's else would it be?"
"Well I don't know... so how long have you known?"
"For about a month and a half."
"That long? And you didn't tell me!"
"I wanted to wait for the right time."
"I guess... so you wanna go back now?"
"No let's stay out here tonight."
"Ok, but what about Kopa?"
"He'll be fine, I don't think he's too happy with me right now so..."
"Why?"
"Cuz when I told him he ran off crying."
"You told him before me! Who else knows?"
"Mostly everyone, but I just told them today."
"Well now I wont talk to you." Simba playfully looks away like he's mad.
"We'll see about that!" Nala jumps on him and they run around playing like little cubs, then lay down and sleep for the night.
Vitani couldn't sleep that night, she kept thinking of the new cub. Will he like me... will I like him? Will he be like Nuka... or will he turn out like... Mother? She asked herself many of these questions through out the night, and finally couldn't take it anymore, she got up and walked over to the edge of Scar's hang out, where she could see the land and the main part of Pride Rock. Something caught her eye, something sitting on the tip of Pride Rock, she couldn't make it out, so curiosity getting the better of her, she went to go check it out. She climbs up the rocks and looks out to the tip, it's a cub, Kopa? she thought. Kopa usually sleeps through the night like a rock, so this was very odd to Vitani's eyes.
"Kopa?" Vitani says, there is no answer. "Kopa!"
"I can't stop thinking about it."
"About what?" Vitani asks walking up to her friend.
"The cub."
"I couldn't stop thinking about Mother's either."
"Whats it look like?"
"It's a big ball of brown fur with Green eyes."
"Boy, or girl?"
"Boy." Kopa just nods "So are you ok yet with your mom having another cub?"
"I don't think so, I mean weren't they happy with just me?"
"I'm sure they were, and this is just going to add to it." Viatni says with a smile that she hoped would cheer him up, no success. "So what are you going to do, I mean it's not like you can make you mom not pregnant."
"No, but I have thought of running away."
"NO! You can't, you can't leave me! Your parents would be heartbroken."
"No they wouldn't, they would have the new cub."
Vitani didn't know how to respond to this, but she new she didn't want to loose her best, and basically only friend.
"Please don't go..." Vitani says almost starting to cry. No response.
"I think I might. I'll come back someday..."
"NO KOPA!" Vitani screams at him
"Vitani I can't live like this!"
"But I have a brother, and I deal with it!"
"Yeah but I don't know if I could do that."
"But..."
"No, I'm gonna leave, tomorrow night."
"You can't, you don't know how to take care of yourself."
"So I'll find some pride to take me in."
"But what if they don't?"
"Then I'll come back, or find a way to take care of myself."
A tear falls from Vitani's beautiful turquoise eye.
"Like I said, I'll come back, either way, don't cry."
"But what if you can't come back?"
"What do you m... oh... well then... Well I'm sure that wont happen."
"You don't know that!"
"We don't know anything for sure."
Vitani doesn't respond, so Kopa hugs her.
"Don't your parents realize your out here?" Vitani finally asks through a sob
"No, they're still out there, see, they are perfectly happy by themselves."
"But I'm not." Vitani says
"I'll be back someday."
Again Vitani doesn't respond.
"Come on we should get back to bed." Kopa says standing up.
"You go, I'm gonna stay here." Vitani says not looking at him.
Kopa not wanting to say anymore and feeling guilty walks slowly back to the cave.
I don't get it, why wont he stay with me? Vitani thinks to herself as she cries Where will he go, no one will take him in, and he'll be away from everyone he loves, and he can't go alone... wait, thats it! I'll go with him! I'll tell him first thing tomorrow! Vitani runs back to Scar's hang out and soon falls asleep.
What a stubborn little cub huh? Well hope you liked it! Please R&R!!
