Chapter 6

It had been a few months since the first encounter with a rouge lioness. Today was a big day for Vitani, Kuda, Kiara, and Kovu. It was the day that Vitani was to have her cubs. As Vitani lay across the cool den floor, all the females circled her. Vitani's breathing starts to increase.

"How much longer do I have to do this?" screamed Vitani in pain.

Sweat from the top of her head dripped down into her bangs which fell into her face.

"You're almost done Vitani. " said Nala. "When I count to three, I want you to push."

Vitani nodded and Nala started to count. "One.. Two.. THREE!"

Vitani pushed with all her might. After about two minutes, a gray colored cub was soon born. His eyes were an amazing blue and at the top of his head was a red streak. One his grandmother Zira had. Once the cub was layed in front of her by Nala, Vitani's motherly instinct kicked in and she began to bathe the cub. Several minutes later, Vitani had another contraction! After a while pushing once more, another cub appeared.

"Another cub?" asked Vitani shocked.

"Yes. And this one is a girl!" shouted Kiara. "I can't believe I'm an aunt!"

"Ok calm down Kiara. Go get Kuda, Kovu, and your father." Said Nala to Kiara.

The young queen nodded and left the den. She returned four minutes later with Kuda, Kovu, and Simba following closely behind.

"Look Kuda." Said Vitani. "Your cubs."

Kuda looked at his new gift that lay in front of his mate. He sat down and stared.

"No my Love, Our cubs." He finally said.

Kovu stepped closer looking at his new niece and nephew.

"What are their names?" He asked.

"Well, the boy's name is Ari and the girl's name is," Vitani trailed off.

She looked at her mate to see if he had a name. Kuda thought for a moment and when a name came to him, he said it.

"The girl's name is Shanni." He said.

Everyone enjoyed the sight of the pride's new cubs. The sun was beginning to set so everyone turned in for the night. Kiara and Kovu went to sleep thinking of their new plans for the next day. They were to start the first step to becoming parents.
