Chapter 9 - Families Part 2

A few months later, Malaika and Roho were now awaiting the birth of their newborns. Kovu and Kiara were also awaiting for the moment but they also realized that Malaika can't wait any longer...

"Hmm...Malaika can't await the moment for longer." - Kovu said -

"Yeah. I'm quite worried despite the excitement." - Kiara added -

"Me too. Roho can't await the moment to come too. He's impatient indeed." - Vitani added -

"Well, the chances will come later on." - Kovu replied -

...

Moments later, Simba and Nala were talking to Rafiki by the den. They were talking about Malaika's condition...

"Rafiki, Is Malaika's condition were normal?" - Simba asked -

"Her conditions were still normal, Simba but i already prepared the dens with everything for her childbirth if it happens." - Rafiki replied -

"Is everything ready for the moment, Rafiki?" - Nala asked -

"Yes, Nala." - Rafiki replied -

Then Vitani and Zazu arrived with such alarm on their faces...

"Guys, Malaika is in labor. She's on her way." - Vitani said -

"Yes, sire. She's also moaning in pain." - Zazu added -

"Where's Roho, Kovu and Kiara?" - Simba asked -

"They were out to help Malaika." - Vitani replied -

"Ok, thanks." - Simba said as he zoomed out to assist Malaika and her friends -

Simba went to the fields where he saw Malaika being assisted by Roho, Kovu and Kiara. She was moaning in pain and fluids were visible on her fur. Simba assisted her...

"Kovu, take her to the den. Rafiki was waiting in there." - Simba said -

Kovu nodded and he carried her to the said den...

...

Hours later, Rafiki went out from the den with a smile on his face...

"Ok, guys. Malaika is ok now." - Rafiki said -

"How's the childbirth?" - Roho asked -

"It ends up well. Your mate is safe and sound." - Rafiki replied -

"Can i enter to see her?" - Roho asked -

"Sure, Roho. You can enter now." - Rafiki replied -

Roho entered and he saw Malaika by the floor with a cub on her paws. Roho was in joy...

"It's great. Our cub is a boy." - Malaika said -

"Well, let's name him Tiro." - Roho replied -

Malaika nuzzled Roho by his neck before saying her words...

"Roho, thanks for fulfilling my wish."

Roho replied...

"Your welcome, my sultry lioness."

Roho and Malaika then continued their nuzzle with each other.

This is the end of Chapter 9. The Pride was being blessed with a new cub. Stay tuned for Chapter 10!
