Chapter 4 The death of Sarabi and birth of Kovu and Kiara

Today the royal family had decided to take the day off and have a picnic leaving a one eyed Sarabi in charge of the morning and early evening rounds and reports. Sarafina was brought of here retirement. Though Sarafina would sometimes have a hangover and be late to the evening hunts. Simba had caught an impala since that was the only thing he could catch for their lunch and Nala was way too pregnant to hunt. Nala had worn her emerald necklace that she had since she was a cub. Simba had also found his old terminator sunglasses and wore them for the picnic.

General Tojo allowed Vitani to join Simba's picnic since they have agreed that the two should be betrothed to each other and both Kopa and Vitani knew they were in love with each other. Simba, Kopa and Vitani had all decided to play tag after lunch while Nala watched them play.

"Tag your it Dad." Kopa tagged his father and ran away.

Simba chased after his son. Tag your it now Kopa." Simba smirked as he ran.

Kopa ran and tagged Vitani.

"Your it Vitani."

"Oh yeah" Vitani had Kopa Pinned instantly.

"Hey you didn't give me a chance." Kopa complained. Simba and Nala laughed

"Well your it sweetie." Vitani said

Kopa was about to chase after Vitani when out of nowhere, Snowy flew it in at high speed.

"Simba, Nala, Kopa, Vitani." There's been an accident." Snowey squawked

"What happened Snowey" Nala asked."

"It's Simba's Mother. General Tojo found her bleeding to death near the border."

Simba jumped up. "What alert Bluey and the other birds and Sarafina to meet us at the Border." "NOW!" Simba boomed. Snowy bowed and darted off. While Simba, Nala, Kopa, and Vitani ran to the border to see the General and the Colonel starring at a dying Sarabi.

"General What happened?"

Colonel Kula and I were walking and discussing new tactics in warfare when we heard a scream. We ran over to see your mother in this state. I have ordered Birdie to find Sarafina immediately." Tojo said

Just then Bluey Sweetie and Buddy had arrived with Sarafina with Snowey ridding on her back. Paka, Kamili, Tisa ran up from behind from hearing the news.

The Dying Sarabi Moaned.

"Si himba"

Simba ran to his mother. The former queen was slowly dying because she had deep wounds in her neck and stomach. Blood was still seeping out and could not stop.

Mom I'm here. We all are. Nala said What happened mom? Simba was tearing up.

"It was cough cough Zira and some cough loyalist of Sc ar cough.

"Shh Mom don't go."

"Don't greave my son. cough"

"Mom?"

Simba you are and always will be my happy little boy and I am glad that I had lived to see you become King.' Cough I think your father is very proud of you." Remember I'll always be their for you." Cough." Just like your father is cough, cough Sarabi died.

Mom No. No Simba broke down in crying.

Nala comforted her mate in a hug and Kopa also hugged his father.

Kula had ordered Bluey to have the birds call off all hunts and assemble all lions for a funeral service for the former Queen. Bluey saluted and left. The funeral was taken place at the back of Pride rock where a grave was dug for the Queen by gofers and was next to a grave were the remains of Mufasa was buried.

"We are assembled here today to pay our respects honored dead former Queen mother, Grandmother and good friend of the Pridelands, Sarabi Marry Mirage Lion. Simba teared up again. Then composed himself and resumed his solemn state. "Mom if your up their I miss you and will never forget. Tojo you may continue for me I can not. Simba couldn't hold himself. Simba walked out as Nala took Simba as he broke down more. Tojo began to solemnly speak.

"Well what I would like to say and what King Simba was trying to finish was that of all the Lionesses that Simba and I have encountered her bravery and strength was the….. strongest of them all. Sarabi you will never be forgotten. Sarafina would you like to say something" Tojo asked.

Sarafina approached.

Queen Sarabi and I met when I was pregnant with Nala. Her husband Mufasa saw me drawing near Pride Rock and sent his Majordomo to send for me. Mufasa and Sarabi saw my honesty and let me join this pride. It was.. was…. was the best….. Sarafina went into tears and couldn't finish. Mheetu and Ashanti gathered his mother and took her away when Nala Came up to speak.

Queen Sarabi was a great mother, Grandmother and friend. She fought for this pride and was loyal to the end. All I can say Sarabi you are in are hearts up with in the stars with the other great Kings and Queens of the past.

"A moment of Silence of remembrance." Kula spoke softly.

"All others Attention." Colonel Kula ordered As the Pride went to Silence and remembrance of the loved former Queen.

Then colonel Kula breaks the silence with saying Birds lionesses' hup.

The Birds and Lionesses did some sort of six gun rock salute by throwing rocks in the air and Roaring as the former Queen body was being lowered in to the grave carefully by Sarafina and Tisa. Sarafina and Tisa left the grave are started to hum Amazing grace with the rest of the pride. The Birds continued the rock throwing in the air and singing as the gofers began to burry the body.

Nala, Simba and Kopa embraced each other in a family hug. Simba crying the most. Now that both his parents were gone. Tojo and Vitani hugged each other as Kula was still going hup for the rock gun salute. Chumvi and Dotty embraced each other.

Kiara and Kovu's Birth

Interestingly enough Kopa and Vitani had turned 61/2 months old today equivalent to 11 years old in human years. Kopa and Vitani were waiting outside of the sick/birthing cave

"Wow I am going to be a big brother can you believe it Vitani" Kopa said

"Well I am going to be a big sister."

Kopa Vitani your mothers say you can come in now Bluey chirped. The two cubs ran inside to meet their new siblings.

"Hello Kiara I'm Your big brother Kopa." He says cheerfully

Easy Kopa she just opened her eyes and she needs her sleep for her presentation tomorrow. Nala enlightened to Kopa.

"Mom was I presented?" Kopa asked

Yes Kopa only the royal family has presentation of their children. "Oh"

Meanwhile a hyena and a loyalist lioness returned from spying in the Pridelands to report back to Scar on the news.

My Lord, Queen Nala has given birth to an golden orange cub named Kiara and Colonel Kula has given birth to a boy cub that has a similar resemblance to you." The lioness said

"Looks like me you say?"

"Yes My Lord"

Hmm I think the boy will be great asset to me. As I will have a need for an heir when I retake the throne. But I need a plan to get this cub. Scar went back to the termite mound to think.
