Chapter 5 - The Expectations Part 2

When Kovu finally escorted Kiara back to Pride Rock, Simba and Nala tried to help her childbirth along with the help with Rafiki. As Kovu waited outside, Timon and Pumbaa took the time to keep him calm...

"Kovu, don't worry about that. Kiara will be fine." - Timon said -

"Just think about the next expectations when this day was done, ok?" - Pumbaa added -

Kovu could only nodded in response since he was really worried about Kiara's childbirth. Hours later, Rafiki went out and he called Kovu. Kovu entered the den and he saw Kiara cradling a newborn cub on her paws. The newborn is a female cub. She had reddish-emerald eyes that matched the eye colors of Kovu and Kiara. It has light black fur and a turf on her head. Kovu was so overjoyed...

"Kiara, we have a beautiful daughter today. Let's give her a name." - Kovu said -

"Let's name her Malaika, Kovu." - Kiara replied -

"Malaika. That means "angel". I like it so much, Kiara." - Kovu commented -

Kiara then nuzzled Kovu amorously.

A few years later, Malaika had finally reached childhood, thanks to the care of her parents and grandparents. Malaika was like in the same age of young Simba, Nala and Kiara but with slick black fur shining gracefully on the African sun. She still retained her turf since she was like Vitani. Sometimes, her reddish-emerald eyes shines through the other lions and lionesses who were hunting by the fields in the distance. One morning, she went outside to catch the glimpse of the clouds in the sapphire skies. Kovu went outside and approached Malaika to have a heart to heart chat of the African morning...

"Good morning, Malaika. How's your day today?" - Kovu asked -

"It's good, dad. I even dreamed myself that i'm a sultry lioness of Pride Rock." - Malaika replied -

"Yes it is, Malaika. You're will be a sultry lioness indeed." - Kovu said -

"Hey, where mom by the way?" - Malaika asked -

"Kiara is frolicking by the waterhole along with her friends there. Want to come?" - Kovu requested -

"Sure, dad. I like to go to the waterhole." - Malaika replied -

Malaika and Kovu went to the said waterhole. When they arrived, they see Simba and Kiara frolicking in the water, Vitani and Nala chatting by the water's edge, Timon and Pumbaa eating crunchy and slimy grubs, Zazu singing by the tree branches and Rafiki meditating on a large rock...

"Ahh...Good morning to you, guys. Come and join us in the fun!" - Simba said -

"Good morning, guys. How's your swim?" - Kovu asked -

"It's great. We're swimming like sharks here! I even pulled Nala into the water but to my surprise, she also enjoyed swimming in the water for the first time." - Simba replied -

Malaika went to the tree branches and she listens to Zazu's song. When Zazu finished, he noticed her...

"Ahh...Good morning, Malaika. How's my singing?" - Zazu asked -

"Your singing were like music to my ears. I like it." - Malaika replied -

"Grand! You might be singing like Kiara or Simba when you grow up some day." - Zazu said -

"Why?" - Malaika asked, curiously"

"Because Simba and Kiara were singing in their good tones long ago when they were in your age." - Zazu replied -

"Did they sing when they grown up?" - Malaika asked -

"Yes, Malaika. They still have their tones until today." - Zazu said -

Malaika then sighs in relief as she says her punchline...

"Singing can make friendship and love find a way."
