A/N:I'm so sorry for the disappointment. But I had to, I wanted Kiara and Kovu to have a cub but I thought it would bring more drama to the story. Here's chapter seventeen, enjoy!

"I'm afraid the princess won't be able to have any more cubs"

The words struck Kovu and everyone else hard. The brown lion couldn't hold it any more and lowered his head and cried. Baruchel cried as his mother and siblings comfort him. Nala wailed in Simba' s red mane, the king himself was having a hard time staying strong.

"I'm truly am sorry. If anything happen, you can fetch for me"

Simba dipped his head. "Thank you my friend"

Rafiki bowed before descending down the rocky steps. Simba nuzzled his mate before standing.

"Let's go see our girl"

Nala nodded and stood before heading towards the nursery cave. Simba turned to his son in law.

"We'll send for you" then he turned to Baruchel. "Come on"

Kovu sat down and lowered his head, not even bothered to stop the tears from falling.

Kiara woke up with a groan, she looked around and seen her parents and Baruchel sitting by. She tried to sit up but a huge amount of pain hit her from top to bottom.

" 's alright..."

Kiara laid down at the soft sound of her mother. Once she was completely on her stomach her mother put two tiny bundles in her paws.

"Congratulations darling. You have a boy and a girl"

Kiara looked at the cubs in her paws. One was light cream, like her mother and uncle. The other was golden like her and her father but she had dark brown ear rims.

"They're beautiful...Kiara" Baruchel nuzzled the golden lioness

Kiara nuzzled back before looking at her parents. A look of concern fell on the princess' features. Simba sighed before nuzzling his daughter.

"I don't know how to tell this...but when you fell over the cliff...something got knocked loose"

Kiara was breathing heavy, her heart racing at a fast pace. "Daddy..."

Nala lowered her head. "You can't have anymore cubs"

Tears soon matted her golden fur. Her head swirled with emotions that she didn't know exist. She looked at her cubs, the golden one was smaller than the cream one.

"What are you doing to name them?"

Kiara thought hard on her mother's question. She lifted her head and looked at the three in the room.

"Well...I do like the names Ditto and Dreama."

Baruchel smiled before nuzzling each cub. "Whatever you want, beside I think it has a nice ring to them"

Kiara smiled before yawning the three lions smiled before heading towards the cave entrance. Simba nuzzled his daughter and grandcubs once more before leaving.

"We'll send Kovu in later"

Kiara smiled and nodded while her head laid on her paws. After watching her parents and Baruchel walk out into the light of outside, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep slumber.
