Ch 3 New Life, New Problems
"Whoa there Moto just hold on a second!" Kopa said as he shoved Moto off of him. "Just what exactly do you think I've done?"
"You know damn well what you've done!" Moto snarled as he lunged for Kopa, who leapt to the side to avoid the hit.
"I swear to you I have no idea why you're so angry," Kopa said, backing away from Moto.
"You attacked Kijana!" Moto spat out. "Again! Only this time you attacked his mate too! Kings Above Kopa she's pregnant! I never thought you'd stoop that low as to attack a pregnant jackal!"
"I didn't!" Kopa cried out. "Honest I didn't! Did Kijana tell you I did?"
"Well no," Moto admitted. "His memory is a little fuzzy. But I know it was you!"
"When did this happen?" Jasiri asked.
"Last night," Chana said. "Right after sunset."
"Well then it couldn't have been Kopa," Jasiri said. "Or haven't you heard that Kopa and Kiara were attacked last night as well. By Dogo and his pack."
"Dogo's back?" Moto asked, the surprise clear in his voice.
"Looks that way," Kopa said with a groan. "Ugh I think you aggravated my injury from last night." Kopa indicted his scratched side when he said this part.
"Kopa I...I'm sorry," Moto stammered, clearly embarrassed. "I didn't know. I just assumed..."
"I get it," Kopa said with a small smile. "I attacked you guys before. I'd of thought it was me if I were you too."
"I tried telling him he was being silly," a female voice said. The group turned and saw a young female jackal with light brown eyes walking towards them. "Now don't you feel silly Moto?" the jackal said, nuzzling Moto.
"Yeah well," Moto said, the embarrassment clear in his voice. "Maybe a little." The female laughed and nuzzled Moto once again. Then she looked at the confused faces of the rest of the group.
"Oh forgive me," she said with a laugh. "I'm Maweha. Moto's mate."
"Nice to meet you," Kopa said with a smile. "I'm..."
"Oh I know who you are Kopa," Maweha said with a smile. "Moto's told me all about you. You and your beautiful soon to be mate: Jasiri." Maweha smiled at Jasiri when she said this part.
"So how bad is Kijana?" Kopa asked. "And his mate?"
"Why don't you come see?" Chana offered with a smile.
"Chana I don't think," Moto began.
"That's right you don't think," Chana shot back, giving her brother a look. "I happen to know that Kijana would love to see Kopa and Jasiri."
"Fine," Moto spat out, clearly unhappy with the situation. "Lets go." Maweha nuzzled Moto and he smiled at her as they walked to the area where they were staying.

A little while later the group had arrived and saw Fauti and Kuato there along with Kijana and a heavily pregnant female jackal that had blue eyes When Fauti and Kuato saw Kopa there their eyes went wide with surprise. "Kopa," Fauti said. "Hello. Its been a while since we've seen you."
"I heard Kijana and his mate were attacked," Kopa said. "I just wanted to make sure they were alright."
"We're fine Kopa," Kijana said with a smile. "But you look like you've been attacked too."
"I was," Kopa said with a grunt. "Me and Kiara were attacked by Dogo and his Pack last night."
"I had no idea Dogo was back," Kijana said, his eyes wide.
"Yeah neither did I," Kopa said. "And I'd be willing to bet that he was the one that attacked you and your mate."
"Yeah Dogo's always had it out for us," Kijana said. "Even since we wised up and left Reirei all those years ago."
"Well we're just glad you're both alright," Jasiri said with a smile. "Especially when your with cub."
"If that bastard had hurt Mpenzi or our pup I'd of killed him," Kijana said with a growl.
"Well we're both fine," Mpenzi said patting her expanded belly. "So don't worry so..." Just then Mpenzi let out a cry of pain.
"What's wrong?!" Kijana cried out, the worry and concern clear in his voice.
"I think I just had a labor pain," Mpenzi said, panting for breath. "But it was probably nothing so don't..." But just then another labor pain ripped through her, causing her to cry out once again. "Oh I think my water just broke!" Mpenzi cried out, her blue eyes wide.
"Excuse me," Fauti said, nudging past the group so she could examine Mpenzi. Then she looked up at the female jackal and smiled. "I can see the pup's head," Fauti announced. "I need you to push for me Mpenzi." With that Mpenzi took a deep breath and bared down and pushed as hard as she could. After pushing for a few minutes two brown and grey bundles came sliding out. One was slightly bigger than the other and had a brown underbelly while the smaller one had a white underbelly.
"Good girl Mpenzi!" Fauti said with a laugh. "Your daughters are here." With that Mpenzi began cleaning her daughters.
"They're beautiful 'Pen," Kijana said softly as he smiled down at his daughter. "Hello there," he said softly. "I'm your Daddy."
"And I'm you Mommy," Mpenzi said softly. "And we love you both very much."
"So what are my beautiful granddaughters' names?" Kuato asked with a smile.
"Well we decided on Changa and Mwali," Kijana said.
"So which ones which?" Moto asked.
"Well I think she should be Mwali," Mpenzi said, nuzzling the slightly larger one that had a brown underbelly.
"And she should be Changa," Kijana said, nuzzling the slightly smaller one with a white underbelly.
"I love it," Jasiri said with a giggle. "Beautiful names for beautiful pups."
"We'd better get back," Kopa said suddenly. "Its getting dark. But we'll be sure to pass the word on about the new pups."
"Thanks Kopa," Kijana said with a smile. "Don't be strangers you hear?"
"We won't," Kopa promised. "We'll see you all later." With that Kopa headed back to Pride Rock with Jasiri right behind him.

Meanwhile Cala had used the distraction to meet up with Dogo. Only to her surprise he wasn't alone. Reirei and Goigoi were with him along with another female jackal. "Dogo," Cala said. "I thought we were meeting alone."
"Well change of plans," Dogo said. "My parents want in so they're in and I never keep anything from my mate: Mbaya."
"Alright then," Cala said, knowing better to argue. "I heard that you attacked Kijana and his mate. That wasn't very smart."
"Well I thought that Kopa would get the blame," Dogo said. "Especially since he's attacked Kijana before."
"Well that almost worked," Cala said. "But you foolishly attacked Kopa and Kiara that same night. If you hadn't done that then it would have worked. Moto was ready to rip Kopa's head off."
"I told ya you shouldn't have done that," Reirei snapped. "That was real dumb."
"Shut up Ma," Dogo snapped back. "Nobody ask ya for your opinion. 'Sides I've got another plan in mind."
"Oh?" Cala asked. "Do tell Dogo."
"We get those allies of your from Simba's Pride to help us," Dogo said. "They can help lure Kopa into a trap."
"Yes that's a great idea," Cala said. "I was just thinking we need to get Kopa alone to dispose of him."
"Think you can arrange somethin' tomorrow?" Dogo asked. "Near the gorge?"
"Consider it done," Cala said. "Come tomorrow Kopa will be dead and my daughter can find someone worthy of her."
"Tomorrow then," Dogo said. With a nod Cala turned and headed back to Pride Rock, very happy with the way things were working out.
