Author's Note:TMNTMentalistTLK lover and ThatTexaskid:thanks for the reviews. I'm glad you liked the chapter.
Mheetu sat on a ledge at the border of the Outlands and pride lands. His golden eyes on the land he once called home. The pale cream cub sighed sadly. The only emotion that seem to dominate his life. It's sad what his sister became and what the mighty King Mufasa's son has turned into.
"You're thinking about the pride lands?"
Mheetu didn't have to looked to know that it was his month old niece that spoken. He sighed heavily. Vitani and Shetani doesn't know about their mother and step father. How they killed their brother and wounded little Shetani. For all the little brown lioness cub knows, it was accident. But they do know that Sarafina is their grandmother and Mheetu is their uncle. The story they know of why they lived in the Outlands. Is that Nala, Mheetu and their deceased mother's sister is queen and the king exiled them.
"Was auntie Nala, always evil?"
Mheetu pinned his ears, he didn't want to lie to Vitani. But he thought of a small lie. "No. She was actually like your mother. Noble, caring...everything your aunt Nala is not."
The light cream cub turned her bright blue eyes on the forbidden land. "Do you think auntie Nala's cubs, could help us in our plan?"
The pale cream cub's eyes widen in shock. Why didn't he think of that? Mheetu turned to his oldest niece and smiled. "That's actually a good idea."
Vitani smiled pleased with herself that she came up with a idea that her uncle liked. With that in mind she turned and looked at the land that maybe one day she and her sister can call home.
-TLK-
In Pride Rock's cave, Nala slapped her paw against the floor of the den, her sapphire blue eyes scanning the den for one particular male lion. The other lionesses casted knowing glances at her direction as the one lion that she had been looking for casually padded into the den.
Nala ran up to him and licked his face repeatedly. "Oh Simba, I'm so glad you're home after such a busy day of being king."
Simba chuckled in response. "It was a rough one. You do seem to be in an incredibly peppy mood today."
Nala nodded in agreement before starting to speak once again. "Well Simba, you know that I have been having some nausea problems lately, right?"
Simba nodded. "Yes, I have." He nuzzled Nala gently. "Sweetheart, I'm worried about you."
Nala grinned in response. "It's flattering that you are, but there is really no need for you to be worried!"
Simba gave her a suspicious expression. "And why is that?"
"Well, I went to see Rafiki while the other lionesses went out hunting, and he told me that I am with cub! We're having twins!"
Simba jumped up in a combination of surprise and glee before nuzzling Nala fiercely. "Darling, that is absolutely wonderful! I have heirs to my throne! I'm absolutely thrilled! Did the old goon tell you what genders they are going to be?"
Nala shook her head. "No! Said something about that he couldn't tell right now or something. But he did say that I am a little more than a month along!"
Simba recoiled and his cheeks began to turn a deep shade of red. "It was probably from…you know…when we met up again in that jungle."
Nala blushed as well before the happy couple burst into laughter.
From a distance, Rafiki looked on in sadness, as he spoke to the moon above him."Mufasa, what is going to happen? Will these cubs be monarchs?"
Nothing happened, and Rafiki spoke again, with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"What, am I supposed to mark NOBODY as the heir?"
Suddenly, the moon seemed to glow brighter in the night sky, giving out nearly as much light as the sun. Rafiki sighed in response.
"Great Kings above, that's exactly what I'm supposed to do."
