CH 2 Ahadi and Uru Part One: Mufasa
On a peaceful sunny day in the Pridelands a dark brown lioness with amber eyes was walking back towards her home, Priderock. This lioness was Queen Uru of the Pridelands and she was going to meet her mate, King Ahadi. Uru had just returned from visting the local mandrill Busara and her son, Rafiki. Rafiki was in training to taking over for his mother, who was not in the best of health. Uru came to the mother and son hoping they could tell her what was wrong with her. The Queen had not been feeling well and was having trouble keeping food down. After examning Uru Busara smiled. "Ah yes I know exactly what de problem is," she said still smiling. The old monkey then turned towards Rafiki and said, "I trust you know what de problem is my son."
"Ah yes Mother I know what de problem is," Rafiki said nodding his head.
"Well would one of you be so kind as to tell me what the problem is," Uru said, trying her best not to snap.
"Ah de temperment of a pregnant lioness," Rafiki said with a laugh.
"Yes it is rather short," Busara said with a nod.
"Well I'm sorry if I'm..." Uru began. Then her amber eyes got wide as it dawned on her what Rafiki and Busara had said. "Wait did you say I'm pregnant?" the Queen asked.
"Yes my dear," Busara said putting her hands on Uru's shoulders. "You are indeed with cub. Congratulations."
"A cub," Uru whispered. "I'm having a cub. I can't believe it. Thank you both so much!" With that Uru gave Rafiki and Busara a hug. "I have to tell Ahadi." With that the brown Queen ran out of the tree to inform her mate of the good news.

As Uru was waiting for Ahadi to return she was getting more and more nervous. She wasn't sure how her mate was going to react to the news. They had just gotten married two months ago and had decided to wait to have a cub for at least a year. This hadn't dawned on the Queen until after she had returned home. She could only hope and pray that Ahadi would be just as happy about the cub as she was. Then as if on cue a lion woth a golden coat, piercing emerald green eyes and a flowing jet black mane appeared. "Ahadi I'm so glad your home," Uru declared giving her mate a nuzzle.
"I'm glad to my dear," Ahadi said returning the nuzzle.
"I have something to tell you," Uru said, with a smile.
"It's good news I trust?" Ahadi said with a smile of his own.
"Yes it is very good news," Uru said. Then she added quickly, "At least I think it is."
"Then let's hear it," Ahadi said, anxious to hear what his mate had to say.
"Ahadi I.." Uru began. "I uh..I uh went to see Busara today because I haven't been feeling well lately. And uh she said...Well she said that I'm uh well you see.."
"Uru for goodness sake spit it out," Ahadi cried. "Kings above it can't be all that bad can it?"
"Ahadi I'm pregnant," Uru blurted out. Uru waited for a couple of minutes then looked up at her mate, who had a stunned look on his face. "Ahadi are you alright?" Uru asked. Silence. "Ahadi for goodness sake say something," Uru cried out.
"You're pregnant?" Ahadi said softly.
"Yes," Uru said. "I'm sorry Ahadi I know we agreed we'd wait but.."
"Uru stop," Ahadi said holding up his paw. "I'm not angry. In fact I'm just the opposite. I'm thrilled!"
"You are?" Uru said, confused. "But I thought that.."
"I know I said I wanted to wait to have a cub," Ahadi said. "But the truth is I've been thinking a lot about that latley and I figured that we're old enough and mature enough to have a cub of our own."
"Oh Ahadi I'm so glad you feel that way," Uru sighed giving Ahadi a nuzzle. "I love you so much."
"I love you too," Ahadi said, giving Uru's head a lick. "Come let's go inform our Pride of the future King or Queen shall we?" With that Uru and Ahadi went to inform their Pride of the good news.

Two months later Ahadi was pacing back and forth outside the birthing cave. His majordomo, Zuzu had just informed him the Uru had gone into labor. Rafiki was in there now. Busara had passed away a few weeks prior and he was in charge now. After what seamed like an eternity Ahadi's mother, Jolina emerged from the cave with a smile on her face.
"Mom how's Uru?" Ahadi asked. "Is the cub here yet? What's..."
"Ahadi darling Uru is fine," Jolina said. "She has just given birth to a healthy baby boy."
"It's a boy?" Ahadi asked with a smile. "I have a son! This is great!" With that Ahadi gave his mother a nuzzle and went inside the cave to see his new son.
TLKTLKTLK
As Ahadi entered the cave he saw Uru in the middle with a golden bundle between her paws. When she saw her mate Uru gave him a big smile. "I'm so proud of you my dear," Ahadi said giving his mate a nuzzle.
"Isn't he beautiful?" Uru asked giving her son's head a lick.
"He's perfect," Ahadi breathed also giving his son a lick. Upon feeling his fahter's touch the newbron Prince opened his eyes to revel bright amber eyes.
"He has your beautiful eyes," Ahadi breathed his smile getting even bigger. "Hello there my boy I'm your father. And I can tell already that you are going to be a very srtong and powerful King."
"Hey Ahadi why don't we name him Mufasa?" Uru asked.
"I think that's a perfect name for him," Ahadi said. "Afterall it does mean King."
"Well welcome to the world little Mufasa," Uru said giving her son a nuzzle, casuing him to purr happily.

The next day all the animals were gathered for Mufasa's presentation. Rafiki smeared the fruit juice across his head followed by the sand. Then he gently lifted up the Prince and carried him to the edge of Priderock where he held him high for all the animals to see. The animals all cheered as they saw their new Prince. As Ahadi was watching this he thought to himself, "I can't imagin my life getting any better. It's going to be a perfect life with just me, Uru and Mufasa. Just the three of us. Uru had talked of having more cubs but I think just one is enough. Yes it's going to be a perfect life as long as nothing comes around to spoil it." With that Ahadi watched the rest of the presentation not knowing what unexpected things lief had in store for him and his family.
