A/N I'd liked to thank Vitani825, thingsareweird, queenlionesses, and TRON0602 for reviewing ch 5. And to answer your question queenlionesses I haven't read T5Tango's stories so any similarities are purely coincidental. That being said here's ch 6 for you and see ch 1 for disclaimer. Enjoy.

Ch 6 Scar and Zira Part 2: Vitani

Queen Zira of the Pridelands was anxious. She hadn't been feeling well for the last few weeks and the tan lioness suspected she was pregnant. This made her very nervous. She had not had good experiences with pregnacies in the past and when she finally did give birth to her son, Nuka four months ago her mate, King Scar had immediatly rejected him because he was too scrawny and weak to be a good heir. But as soon as she was able she tried again with Scar and she hoped that her suspisions were correct and she was pregnant again. Zira was about to pay the local mandrill, Rafiki a visit to confirm the pregnancy when Nuka came bounding up to her his red eyes shining. "Hello Mother," the four month old cub said. "Where are you going?"

"None of your business," Zira snapped. "But if you must know I'm going to see the monkey at his tree."

"Can I come?" Nuka asked, hoping he'd get to spend some time with his mother.

"No you can't," Zira growled. "Now go find someone else to pester." With that Zira turned and walked away from her son, who had tears in his eyes.

TLKTLKTLK

As Zira reached Rafiki's tree she let out a sigh. "Time to face the truth," she thought. With that ZIra entered the cave. "Ah Queen Zira," Rafiki greeted. "What can I do fer chu?"

"I need you to confirm that I'm pregnant," Zira said simply. "And be quick about it. Scar will be home any time now."

"Den let's do this shall we?" Rafiki said motioning for Zira to lay down. After a few minutes Rafiki said. "You are indeed with cub."

"And is it a good pregnacy?" Zira asked getting to her feet.

"Ah yes," Rafiki said with a nod. "Dis one is high just like when you carried Nuka."

"Good," Zira said. Without another word Zira turned and exited the tree heading back to Priderock.

TLKTLKTLK

As Zira returned to Priderock she was surprised to hear Scar having an argument with Zazu. The hornbill was commenting how they should move on since their was no food and Scar was hearing none of that. The next thing Zira knew she heard Zazu squaking and a loud thud. Thinking Scar had eaten Zazu Zira went into the cave to see what was going on. To her surprise she saw that her mate had not eaten Zazu but had instead imprisoned him in a cage made out of bones. "That'll teach you to be insabortanent," Scar growled. Then he noticed Zira was standing there. "What do you want Zira?" Scar asked, the irritation clear in his voice.

"And hello to you too Scar," Zira said rolling her red eyes. "I just thought you should know that I'm pregnant again."

"Well let's just hope it's a suitable heir," Scar hissed. "I've already given you to many chances Zira. Fail me this time and you're out. Undersatnd?"

"Yes Scar I understand," Zira said. "I won't fail you this time I sware it. Our son shall be healthy and strong."

"He had better be," Scar said. "For your sake Zira." Just then Nuka came bounding into the cave and approached his parents. "What do you want Nuka?" Scar snapped.

"I just wanted to say hello Father," Nuka said nervously. "And I wanted to see how Mother was."

"Yes well as you can see she's fine," Scar said roughly. "And you've said hello so be gone with you. I don't want to be bothered by you today."

"But Father I..." Nuka began. But he was cut short by his mother's paw swipping him across the face sending him flying.

"You dare argue with your father!" Zira roared. "You useless ball of nothing! Get out of our sight right now! I won't have you risking me losing your unborn brother!"

"But Mother I haven't eaten yet," Nuka declared.

"That's your problem," Zira snapped. "You should have thought about that before you made your father angry. Now leave!" With that Nuka ran out of the cave tears pouring down his face leaving his parents to discuss the upcoming birth.

TLKTLKTLK

Six weeks later Scar was once again in his cave awaiting news on Zira. Sarabi had informed him that the Queen had gone into labor. After sending Sarabi on her way Scar immediatly sent Nuka with Sarafina to play with Nala. He didn't want the six month old cub pestering him when he was already on edge. A few hours later Sarabi reappeared. "Your cub has been born," the tan lioness informed the brown King.

"Good," Scar said. "Now get out of my way so I can see them." With that Scar pushed past Sarabi and headed into the cave to see his mate and newborn cub.

TLKTLKTLK

Once Scar entered the cave he saw Zira laying in the middle with a tan bundle in between her paws. "Ah I see our cub is here," Scar said bending down to examine the infant.

"Yes Scar our cub is here," Zira said, trying not to show her nervousness.

"Excllent," Scar said with a small smile. "He's perfect Zira. Not scrawny at all. He's very strong. He'll make a fine heir."

"I'm glad you think so Scar," Zira said with a smile of her own. With that the newborn opened it's eyes and looked at Scar with big blue eyes.

"Well that's a surprise," Scar said. "No one in my family has blue eyes."

"My father did," Zira informed her mate. "That's where she gets them from."

"Did you say she?" Scar snapped.

"Ah yes I did," Zira said nervously. "Our cub is a female."

"A female?!" Scar roared furiously. "A female?! This is unexceptable Zira! I will not have a female as my heir."

"But Scar," Zira said. "You said so yourself. She's strong and healthy. Little Vitani could be a good heir."

"So you've named her Vitani have you?" Scar asked. Zira nodded and he continued, "Well the name suits her. So Vitani it shall be. But I need a male to be my heir. A female will not do!"

"So you're not going to kick me out?" Zira asked.

"I didn't say that," Scar said. "But like before there will be no presentation for Vitani. That's for the heir only. As for you Zira let's just say you're lucky she's so strong. That's the only reason I haven't killed Vitani yet." With that Scar turned and left his mate and daughter not even bothering to look back.

A/N well there you are folks ch 6 complete. Did you all enjoy it? I hope you did. Like I said before I won't be doing one for Kovu since he's not Scar's son. I'm even kind of iffy about Vitani being his. Sometimes I think Kovu and Vitani are twins but I'm not sure about that. So next up will be Simba and Nala and yes, Vitani825 it will be about Kopa but only him. There will be a separate one shot with Kiara since I firmly believe the ending of TLK 1 and the beginning of TLK 2 are two totally different scenes no matter what Disney says. I think TLK 1's cub is Kopa and TLK 2's cub in obviously Kiara. Anyways thanks for reading ch 6 and as always review please.
