Author's Note: CSIMentalistTLK lover, thanks for the review and I like the flash back too. The song piece used here from Usher's U got it bad. Also you may remember Henderson from my Mufasa's Daughter stories, but I had to reuse him. Here's chapter nine.

Jai woke to the smell of blood. There in front of him was a zebra leg. Jai ran to it and ate it to the bone.

"Some one was hungry"

Jai licked his muzzled before looking up and seen a light brown lioness with dark green eyes.

"Um...hello"

The lioness chuckled, "My name is Asha, what's yours little guy?"

"Jai"

"What a handsome name. Misa wanted me to show you around"

Jai smiled as he got up and followed Asha out of the cave. The tour was amazing but was cut short.

"Well isn't it the little pipsqueak"

Asha growled at Giza, "Stay away from him"

Giza chuckled, "You know, you would make a beautiful mate"

Jai saw that Asha was uncomfrontable and growled, "Hey! Leave her alone!"

"What are you going to do about it?" Giza growled

"Nothing! Because I'm going to handle you first!"

Giza looked up and his face paled, Oh shit was his thought as Royland came running over.

"What have I told you about bothering this cub!"

Giza growled before walking away. Royland was about to go after him, but a feeling on his legs stopped him. Royland looked down and fought to smiled as he saw Jai rubbing against his legs.

A month past since Simba took the throne and sent out a search party. Since then the Pride Lands started to regrow to what it once was and Simba took Nala as his queen. But as the search goes, they haven't found Jai.

"I guess you have to call it off" sighed Sarabi

Simba didn't want to, but knew he had to.

"Yeah, I'm sorry mother"

A few moments later Simba had gathered the pride.

The golden king sighed as tears fell, "I'm...sorry to announced the search for Jai is over"

Everyone gasped as Thresh and Taka hugged their mother's legs as tears escaped. But out of all the cubs who played with Jai, Sherise was worst of all. Tears fell from her sky blue eyes as she sobbed loudly. Nia tried to comfort her daughter, but the pale golden cub pulled away and ran off. Nala was sitting next to her mate when she saw Sherise ran off. Simba saw also and looked at his mate. Nala looked at him and in her eyes told him what he needed to know. He just nodded his head. Nala smiled and gave her mate a lick before running down the rocky stairs. Nala found the cub crying near the same spot she was when she was a cub and was grieving over the lost of Simba.

"Hey"

Sherise looked up and said "Oh..hi Queen Nala"

Nala sat and smiled, "Listen I know how you feel"

Sherise's ears perked as a flash shot through her dull blue eyes, "You don't know have I feel!"

"But I do, you see...when Simba was tilted dead my whole world was crashed"

Sherise eyes widen as more tears fell, "That's how I feel"

Nala nodded, "I know. I had a bad crush on Simba. I was going to tell him..."

"But he ran away"

Nala nodded sadly.

You don't wanna have fun

It's all you think about

U got it bad when you're out with someone

But you keep on thinkin' bout somebody else

U got it bad

"I didn't want to have fun and when I did, all I could think about was him"

Sherise looked down, "I got it bad"

-X-

A week went by and Nala started to feel sick. She didn't want Simba to make a big deal so she went to see Rafiki first before going to the over-reacting king.

"Rafiki!" The creamy queen roared

The grey baboon stuck his head out of hid tree, "My queen, how can old Rafiki help"

Nala smiled at the sherman's antics, "I haven't been feeling to good"

Rafiki laughed, "Well I just have to look at you. Can't have a sick queen, can we"

Nala chuckled, "No we can't"

Rafiki climbed down his tree and told Nala to lay down. Nala obeyed and laid down on her side. Rafiki moved his hands straight to the queen's belly and smiled.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Rafiki laughed, "No. But if you count expecting a new life as some thing wrong. Than yes"

Nala's eyes shined a new light as she jumped up and gave the baboon a hug before running off back to Pride Rock.

In the Grasslands Jai was walking around chasing a white butterfly.

"Watch out!"

But Jai didn't have a chance to run as a dark red blur landed on him.

"Sorry"

Jai got up and shook his golden fur from dirt before looking at his attacker. What he saw made him jump a bit. His attacker was around his height and he was only three months old. The attacker had dark red fur and a busy tail.

Jai shook his head, "Sorry if I seem mean, but what are you?"

The attacker laughed, "I'm a wolf pup. I'm kinda related to the African Dogs. But I'm more smart and handsome" the attacker puffed out his chest

Jai just chuckled, "I'm Jai"

"Henderson" the wolf pup smiled

"Jai"

Jai and Henderson looked and Misa heading towards them. When she got to the two she was surprised to see Henderson.

"Who's your friend?"

"Queen Misa, this is Henderson"

"Nice to meet you. Where are you from"

Henderson looked down as tears formed, "My parents and I were moving from a jungle when we were attacked by a grey lion and red lioness. Were totally caught by surprise, my parents didn't make it. I nearly made it out alive"

Misa gasped, "Did you get a good look at them?"

Henderson shook his head, "No. I was hidden in a bush. But I only could see a little"

Misa sighed, "I can't let you stay out here by yourself" she then smiled, "You're coming to live with me and Jai"

Henderson's dark brown eyes brighten as he smiled, "Thank you"

Misa just nuzzled the pup before heading to the cave with Jai and Henderson following.

"Queen Misa"

Misa looked at the golden cub.

"Did you want me for something?"

Misa stopped walking and looked at the two with a bright smile, "Yes I had great news that I wanted to share with you"

Noticing a new shine to the queen. Jai asked, "What is it?"

Misa smiled, "I'm going to have a cub"

Author's Note: So what do you think? Misa and Nala are preagant. What did you think of the talk between Nala and Sherise? And who do you think the grey lion and red lioness is that killed Henderson's parents?
