Author's Note:CSIMentalistTLK lover, to Sarafina defense. She thought Taka/Scar was his old self. But in reality he's bi-polar. Gary2000, yeah he was a asshole. But like I said, he's bi-polar. So he has his perks.
A loud painful roar erupted through the plains of the peaceful Pride Lands. Alerting the waking animals as the sun began to rise against the morning red sky. At pride rock Mufasa stood at the peak as the sun began to shine, brightening his golden fur. His large ears flickered at the sound of paws approaching. He looked over his shoulder and seen his mother.
"Sarabi wish to see you now."
Mufasa beamed before rushing in the cave. In the back was Sarabi with Naanda on her side. Zira, Tama was with Sarafina and Mheetu. The creamy yellow lioness looked up and snarled at her brother in law. The golden king ignored her and focused on his mate.
"Well!"
Sarabi sighed before removing her paws. To reveal a small golden cub. He had dark brown rimmed ears and his mother's nose. Mufasa beamed with pride at the cub.
"Male or female?"
Sarabi smiled brightly as she nuzzled the cub between her paws. Who blinked it's eyes open to reveal bright orange orbs.
"Male. I was thinking about Tanabi or..."
Mufasa growled for Sarabi to be quiet. The golden lion sniffed the cub before looking at his mate.
"His name will be Simba."
The two sisters shared a disgusted look before looking back at the king. Naanda growled as she spat at him.
"You're naming my nephew after a tyrant that mated his own mother!"
Sarabi looked up with pleading eyes. "Please reconsider?"
Mufasa snarled. "No. The name stays. End of story!"
Mufasa went to turn away but Naanda stopped him with a snarl.
"You're not the Mufasa I remember!"
Mufasa stopped in his tracks and closed his eyes before looking at his sister in law. "No I'm not. Are you satisfied?"
Naanda sneered at the older lion. "No. Just disgusted to think I and Kamaria once looked up to you!"
Mufasa thought on the younger lioness' words before continuing out the cave to wait for Rafiki.

"Argghh! I'm going to rip your damn head off!"
Ijaro gulped as he sat outside the pride's birthing cave. His ears twitched at a soft chuckle. The dark orange lion moved his gaze from the cave entrance to the side to see the king's mother.
Ijaro bowed his head. "Lady Rena."
The dark beige lioness lifted the general's head with a colorless paw. "Please don't bow. I am not royalty anymore."
Ijaro smiled at the older lioness. "You're always royal."
"I have told her more than once."
The two looked and seen Kyrian with a heavy pregnant Amira. Rena rolled her pale blue eyes before looking at Ijaro.
"I'm sure Kamaria is alright. She been through worst."
At the thought of Mufasa, the dark orange lion snarled. "Tell me about it!"
"Ijaro."
Ijaro looked from the others to the birthing cave where the queen's light cream mother stood.
"You may go in now."
Ijaro rushed into the cave not a second later. Kamaria smiled at her mate as he approached. The golden tan lioness opened her paws to reveal a pale orange cub. His nose was black pridelander and small black fur was on his head as well as his ears.
"I haven't thought of male names. Since I was hoping for a girl."
Ijaro smiled before nuzzling his mate and son. "What did you come up with?"
Kamaria blushed as she pinned her ears. "I know that he will never rule but I really like the name Malka."
Ijaro smiled brightly. "Regardless if he will rule or not. He's royal in our eyes. He may not be a queen but to us he's a king."
Kamaria smiled as tears of joy fell down her face. "I have no words for what I feel right now."
Ijaro smiled before nuzzling the golden tan lioness. "I love you."
Kamaria nuzzled into the dark orange lion's black mane. "I love you too."
