Sorry for the late update. Been catching up on Heartland and into my new game, Dragon Age 2. Here's chapter seven, enjoy.
Inside Tiffu and Kion's private cave, Tiffu awoke to see that she was the last one up. She stood with a yawn before exiting the cave. She headed for priderock and looked into the pride's cave. No one was in there either, she was about to pounder where everyone was when her ears perked at the familiar voice of the royal Sherman. Tiffu looked towards the slope to see Rafiki.
"Morning Tiffu. Prince Kion said that you wasn't feeling well."
Now that Tiffu thought about it, she has been feeling quite tired lately. And moody, she looked at the baboon and shook her head. "I'm not sure. Can you give me a check up?"
Rafiki smiled before mentioning for the creamy lioness to lie down. Tiffu complied and laid on her side as Rafiki moved his hands over the lioness' body. Once he came to the lower stomach a huge smile formed.
"Ah. Congratulations my dear."
Tiffu looked up and smiled. She knew that with those words she was bringing a new addition to the family. She gave the Sherman a hug before running off. She had to tell Kion the wonderful news.
At the Borders
It's been a month since Prince Torrent and Prince Kipawa was born. It was hard for Kion, he loved Fuli with all his life but knew that his parted beloved wouldn't want him to be stuck in the past. Fuli would want him to move forward in life. But that means getting in a real relationship with Tiffu. He loved Fuli, he still do but he can't explain the feelings that explodes when he's around the creamy lioness. The golden yellow lion exited his thoughts when he heard his son's voice. Kion moved his light brown eyes from the border he was patrolling towards the direction his son's voice came from.
"Faraji." Kion smiled as he saw his pre teen son apporching.
Faraji was nine months old. He was a bit taller, he as tall as Fuli but Rafiki says that he's still growing. Faraji has a dark red brown mane growing, his tuff his a mixture of his father's and grandfather. Faraji's pelt was still clear of spots minus the heart on his head.
"What are you doing out here?"
Faraji took a deep breath before replying, "I'm not going to beat around the bush. Are you and Miss Tiffu together?"
Kion was going to fish a lie but sighed heavily as he nodded his head. "Yes, son. We are."
Faraji's light brown eyes widen, tears started to fall but he turned his head. "I know about moving on...but it's hard."
"I understand." Kion smiled lightly before embracing his son. "But I haven't forgotten your mother. I never will, as long as you are here."
Faraji smiled before embracing his father. A clearing of a throat caused the princes to look and see Tiffu. Kion smiled before nuzzling the creamy lioness lovingly. Faraji smiled lightly, he was happy that his father found love, it's just hard.
"Tiffu..." the golden yellow lion frowned at the out of place look on Tiffu's face. He walked over and nuzzled the younger lioness as Faraji looked on. "Is everything alright, my dear?"
Tiffu smiled lightly before taking a deep breath. "Kion...I have something to tell you." she took a deep breath and looked down. "...I'm pregnant..."
Everything went quiet before Kion sighed and looked towards Faraji who also gained a out of place look. The quietness caused Tiffu to look at her lover in worry. Kion took a deep breath and closed his eyes before opening them and looked at his son.
"Son. Would you come here please?"
Faraji walked over with his ears low. Kion waited for the prince to sit before he started to speak. "As you have heard...Tiffu is pregnant. So..."
Faraji sighed heavily before looking at his father and Tiffu. "As I said before, it's going to get some getting used to but nonetheless, congratulations."
Tiffu smiled brightly before nuzzling the light golden lion-cheetah. "That means a lot."
Kion nuzzled his son before turning in the direction of priderock. "I believe there are some mothers that would like to be informed of this news."
Tiffu and Faraji chuckled before following Kion back to priderock.

"Bahiti!"
The golden peach cub jumped out and pounced on the dark beige furred teen lion.
"Ha!"
The two rolled before they stopped and started to laugh.
"Your pouncing is improving." Orville chuckled before ruffling the small fur on Bahiti's head.
Bahiti smiled up at Orville as she got up and walked over to a lake and took a dew licks before looking back at the teen.
"Things sure are so beautiful here."
Orville walked over and sat, "Yes they are." he then moved his bluish eyes down.
Bahiti smiled and looked down with a blush, "Oh...um Orville?"
"Hmm."
"Have you...um thought about the future?"
Orville looked at the cub and smiled, "Not really. But I would love it if you were in it."
Bahiti giggled before pawing at Orville's small black mane. "I'll like that...one day."
Orville smiled with love and adoration in his eyes, "Yeah one day."
Bahiti smiled back before a yawn escaped her mouth.
"It looks like its bed time for you, my Uru." chuckled Bahiti grimaced but played it off with a blush and a shy smile.
Bahiti laid on her stomach before being picked up by the nape by Orville and headed for the Orville's family cave.
The Outlands
Alyssa seethed. She was displeased.
She was very displeased!
"Alyssa?" a dark grayish-brown lioness, Nyssa asked. The light brown-eyed lioness looked up to her red-eyed counterpart and grumbled.
"How dare Kiara? How dare she?!" the creamy beige lioness hissed.
"Alyssa, I understand, but right now, you need to think positive. There is a positive here." Nyssa said.
"What is that?!" Alyssa 00demanded.
"We can use the Pridelands' past to our advantage!" Nyssa said. Alyssa let Nyssa's words sink in and then she smiled.
"Jamali could hurt Kiara, remind her how it is to be afraid whether or not she's carrying a cub of Kopa's or not…" Alyssa said with an evil smirk on her face.
"Kiara will bear Jamali's cub. Of course, that means that she needs to be diverted from Pride Rock," Alyssa looked at Nyssa, "that's where you come in."
"Me? Queen Alyssa, I'm honored." Nyssa said with her head low in a bow.
"Good." Alyssa smiled before she stood up and walked from the cave. She had one objective.
Find Jamali.
