Pregnancy and Janja is not a good mix. But the new cub will work out well. Here's chapter eleven, enjoy.

Torrent tossed and turned in his spot by his mother's side. But inside of pleasent dreams his dream world was filled with the snarling face and brown eyes full of hate of Alyssa. The goldish cub woke with a start. He looked around and noticed that everyone was sound asleep. He knew he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep anytime soon. So he got up and quietly walked out of the cave and towards the peak where he sat and looked out towards the dark savannah that was lit by the dozens of stars.

"Torrent? What are you doing out here?"

Torrent sighed before looking at his mother who had seated besides him. "I...kinda had a bad dream."

Kiara nodded before lowering her head. "When I was a cub...I had a bad dream and your grandfather sung to me." she sighed heavily before smiling at her son. "Would you like to hear it?"

Torrent nodded before lying on his stomach and looked up with intrest in his orange eyes.

'Waking up I see that everything is OK

The first time in my life and now it's so great

Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed

I think about the little things that make life great'

Torrent smiled before following his mother's gaze as she looked out towards the stars.

'I wouldn't change a thing about it

This is the best feeling

This innocence is brilliant

I hope that it will stay

This moment is perfect

Please don't go away

I need you now

And I'll hold on to it

Don't you let it pass you by'

Kiara smiled when she saw Torrent yawned.

'I found a place so safe, not a single tear

The first time in my life and now it's so clear

Feel calm, I belong, I'm so happy here

It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere'

Kiara stopped singing and smiled lovingly at her sleeping son before looking back at the stars and continued singing.

'I wouldn't change a thing about it

This is the best feeling'

"I remember your father singing that after the whole graveyard thing." Kopa said as he joined his family on the peak. Kiara sighed deeply which caused the pale golden lion to cast worried eyes on his mate. "Kiara, what's wrong?"

Kiara took a deep breath, now or never. "I'm pregnant but it's not yours."

Kopa just stared at Kiara for a minute before he said, "You're pregnant?" Then in a much louder voice he growled, "Of course it's not mine! We haven't mated since Torrent was conceived!"

"Kopa I'm sorry," Kiara pleaded the tears flowing. "But I promise you I didn't have a choice in the matter."

"What do you mean?" Kiara asked eyeing Kiara.

"I mean," Kiara said taking a shaky breath. "The lion, Jaali's nephew, Jamali didn't give me a choice in the matter of mating with him."

"You mean he...attacked you?"Kopa asked his dark green eyes wide with shock.

Kiara nodded unable to keep from crying. "Alyssa and Jamali planned it. They're working together as allies."

"That twisted son of a bitch!" Kopa roared furious at the thought of anyone hurting his mate. "I knew she was sick when she and Vitani killed Almasi but this?! This is beyond sick! I'm going to kill her. And if I ever see this Jamali, I kill him." after taking deep breathes he closed his eyes and sighed. "I'm sorry," Kopa said his voice calmer. Then he turned to Kiara, who was still crying, and pulled her close to him. "Hey it's going to be ok," he gently soothed.

"How can you say that?" Kiara sobbed burying her face in Kopa's mane. "What if it's a repeat reminder of what happened! It's never going to be ok!"

"Kiara no one has to know the cub is not mine," Kopa said gently.

Kiara thought on what Kopa said before shaking her head. "That haven't worked out the best in my family's history..."

"Or fighting." Kopa and Kiara looked at one another before the pale golden lion bumped his head against Kiara's. "No matter what. We'll get through this together. We'll raise the cub along side Torrent, and we'll love them equally so, we won't have a repeat of history with your father and uncle."

Kiara smiled lightly, even though his words stung. She actually had planned on doing that. She couldn't kill it but she wasn't going to tolerate it if it came out like Jamali. Kiara sighed before looking at Kopa. "Are you sure?"

"Of course I am," Kopa said. "I love you, Kiara and everything about you. And that includes your cub. And I'd be proud to have him or her as a daughter or son. Besides it's another life continuing your father's legacy."

Kiara didn't even think like that. She's glad she fell for him. "Oh Kopa I love you so much," Kiara cried burying her face in Kopa's dark brown mane.

The Next Morning

The sun had rose over the horizon, starting a new day. Prince Torrent was woken early to start his first lesson. It was just a little before noon when Kiara and Torrent were walking in the savannah.

"As prince you have important duties to the kingdom. You will patrol the borders and vist neighborhood prides."

"Wow! Being a prince sure is a lot of work..." said Torrent looking up at his mother.

Kiara chuckled with a smile. "Thats the half of it, my son. But I'm sure you will be a fine king one day."

Torrent smiled up at his mother, but turned his head when he heard his uncles' voices. There the prince saw his Uncle Brandt and Uncle Kion with his grandmother. But what surprised him was the grayish hyena pup that followed behind the old peachy cream lioness.

Kiara saw the pup too and narrowed her eyes. "Please explain why that vermin is in my kingdom!"

Kion looked at his sister with a raised eye brow. "Kiara. He's a orphan. His uncle and cousin is out to kill him. Surely we can't turn him away."

Nala looked at her daughter and seen she made up her mind. "I will take responsibility for him. Just please-"

"Fine." Kiara growled. "He can stay. Just don't expect me to call him brother. Now I need you all at priderock. There's a announcement I have to make and explain why there's a hyena in the pride."

Torrent watched his mother leave before turning to the pup. "I remember you. You're the hyena from yesterday. What's your name?"

"Anders."

Torrent nodded before heading after his mother as Nala nudged Anders forward before heading after her children who all started ahead of them.

TLKTLKTLKTLK

Thunder roared and lighting flashed. Five months has passed and new life has been brought into the world. Tiffu had given birth to a healthy boy, who she and Kion named Tai. Now today Kiara went into labour, everyone was disturbed by the news of what happened to their queen. Nala cried as she remembered the drama that erupted from this happening to Uru. Now she was going to be a grandmother again and some how, she knew greatness called for her new grandchild. Everyone in the kingdom gathered under priderock to see the new cub of Queen Kiara and supposedently King Kopa. On the peak of priderock was the newest sherman Jaja since Rafiki passed on a week after Tai's birth. Jaja stood at the peak taking in the winds of the greats of the past. Kiara apporched with Kopa at her side, the queen was holding her new daughter, Sherise.

Sherise had her birth sire's russet red colored pelt with a tannish underbelly and her father's purplish-blue eyes. Even though she was still a cub of the queen, her future wasn't mapped out like her brother.

Jaja took hold of the cub and held her out for all to see. Everyone cheered, and trumpeted, and honked and stomped the celebration at the sight of the new princess. Jaja held Sherise for a little while longer, before turning away from the crowd and placed the mark of royalty on Sherise's forehead.

Sherise looked at her surroundings curiously, before smiling goofy, gummy smiles when her parents nuzzled her lovingly. As the family had their moment, Timon and Pumbaa watched the happy family with goofy smiles of their own.

Timon sighed, "Pumbaa, look at the little guy. Chips off the old block! And you gotta know who's gonna raise him!" he asked his friend excitingly, who had a confusing look on his face.

"His parents?"

Timon looked a bit annoyed, "Okay, sure. Yeah technical. But who's gonna teach him the really important stuff? Like how to belch?" he demonstrated letting one loose one of his own, "And dig for grubs?" the Meerkat jumped from Pumbaa's and continued.

"I tell ya, buddy! It's gonna be like old times! You, me, and the little guy!" he said cheerfully, before Jaja chuckled.

"It is a girl."

"Girl." Timon corrected, before they both froze.

"GIRL?!"

And then they fainted as the two new parents laughed.
