Ch 14 A Surprising Development

"Jasiri!" Kopa cried out, his blue eyes wide with worry. "Jasiri wake up. Please wake up babe." Kopa nuzzled Jasiri as he pleaded with her to open her eyes. Within seconds Jasiri let out a groan and opened her eyes. "Oh thank the Kings," Kopa sighed. "You scared me bad 'Siri."

"What happened?" Jasiri asked as she slowly got the her feet with the help of Kopa.

"You fainted," Kopa informed his mate after helping her steady herself.

"Again?" Jasiri muttered. Then she gasped as she realized she had said this out loud.

"What do you mean again?" Kopa asked, his blue eyes wide with surprise. "Have you passed out before?"

"Only a couple of times," Jasiri said, avoiding eye contact. "I just chalked it up to not being able to keep anything down lately."

"You need to see Rafiki," Kopa said. "I mean this isn't normal Jasiri."

"I know it isn't," Jasiri said with a sigh. "And I will go see him. Tomorrow I promise. Alright?"

"Alright," Kopa said with a smile. "And I'll go with you. I've been meaning to talk to him too."

"Sounds good to me," Jasiri said with a smile of her own. With that the couple walked back to Pride Rock as the sun began to set.

The next day Jasiri and Kopa were up early as they were both eager to see Rafiki. After eating the couple informed the others that they were heading for Rafiki's Tree. After walking for a little but they arrived the Tree. "Rafiki?" Kopa called out. "Are you here?"

"Here I am!" Rafiki said, popping up in front of Kopa and Jasiri, who jumped back a little. "What can I do fer you both?" Rafiki asked with a laugh.

"Well you can tell me why I've been feeling so sick lately," Jasiri said with a sigh. "I haven't been able to keep anything down and I've been light headed and having fainting spells."

"And I've been having a lot of issues with my anger lately," Kopa said. "I was hoping you could help me with that."

"Ah yes I can help both of you," Rafiki said. "Come inside and we will talk." With that Rafiki went inside his Tree with Kopa and Jasiri right behind him.

Once everyone was inside Rafiki motioned for Jasiri to lay down. Rafiki got out his stick and waved it over Jasiri. Then he felt her side. When he reached Jasiri's belly a smile went across his face. "Ah yes I know exactly what de problem is," Rafiki said with a smile.

"What is it?" Jasiri asked, the concern clear in her voice. "I hope its nothing bad."

"Oh no it is not bad," Rafiki said with a smile. "In fact it is vedy good news. You are with cub."

"What?!" Jasiri and Kopa cried out at the same time, their eyes wide with shock.

"Rafiki that can't be," Kopa said, shaking his head. "Jasiri and I haven't mated when she was in heat. There's no way she could be pregnant."

"Ah but she is," Rafiki said with a smile. "Come I will show you." With that Rafiki motioned for Kopa to put his head on Jasiri's belly. "You hear dat faint pounding sound?" Rafiki asked. Kopa nodded and Rafiki continued, "Dat is de cub's heartbeat." Kopa raised his head and looked at Rafiki with wide blue eyes.

"So she really is pregnant?" Kopa said softly.

"Congratulations Kopa!" Rafiki said, embracing Kopa. "Dis is wonderful news indeed!"

"Oh Kopa this is wonderful!" Jasiri said, nuzzling Kopa. "We're going to have a cub! Aren't you happy?"

"No Jasiri this isn't wonderful," Kopa said, pulling away from his mate. "And no I'm not happy about this! This is terrible!"

"Kopa," Jasiri said softly. "Please don't say that."

"I told you I didn't want cubs," Kopa snapped, his blue eyes stormy as he glared at Jasiri. "I though we agreed on that Jasiri! But obviously we don't' otherwise you wouldn't have tricked me!"

"Tricked you?" Jasiri cried out, the outrage clear in her voice. "Kopa I didn't trick you."

"You sure as Hell did!" Kopa shouted. "You told me you weren't in heat when clearly you were!"

"Kopa that's not..." Jasiri began.

"Good luck raising this cub!" Kopa growled. "Because you can forget about having any help from me with it!" But he was stopped by Rafiki stepping in front of him.

"You should not leave when you are dis angry," the old mandrill said, making sure he sept his voice level. "You said dat you wanted help wit yer anger. I cannot help you if you leave dis way."

"Rafiki with all due respect you better get the Hell out of my way," Kopa growled. "Because if you don't I can't promise you that I can control what I'm about to do." Without waiting for a response Kopa shoed past Rafiki and stormed out of the Tree, leaving a slightly angry Rafiki and a devastated Jasiri behind.

"I never thought he would react this way," Jasiri sobbed. "I just can't believe this."

"I will talk to him my dear," Rafiki said, giving Jasiri a comforting hug. "Will you be alright alone?"

"I'll be fine Rafiki," Jasiri said with a smile. "Thank you." With a nod Rafiki exited the cave and Jasiri began to walk back to Pride Rock.

A little while later Jasiri had returned to Pride Rock where she saw Kiara nursing Mflame. Safara was also there, watching Kinte play. When the two lionesses saw Jasiri's face they became concerned. "What's wrong Jasiri?" Safara asked, going up to her sister-in-law.

"Kopa took off," Jasiri said with a sob. "I just found out I'm pregnant and he freaked out. He said that I tricked him into getting me pregnant and that he wants nothing to do with the cub." With that Jasiri began to sob. Safara pulled the rusty brown lioness close as she cried.

"Shh there now everything will be alright," Safara gently soothed.

"I knew my brother was stubborn but I never dreamed he'd abandon his mate and child," Kiara said, shaking her head.

"Rafiki said he's going to talk to him," Jasiri said with a sniffle as she wiped her eyes.

"Well that's a good thing," Safara said with a smile. "If anyone can knock some sense into Kopa's fool head its Rafiki." Just then Kovu joined the group with Nuka, Vitani and Chafu behind him.

"What's happening?" Kovu asked, looking from his mate to the still crying Jasiri.

"Yeah why are you so upset 'Siri?" Chafu asked, his voice full of concern.

"My mate is an idiot," Jasiri spat out, wiping her eyes with her paw.

"What did my brother do this time," Kovu asked, dreading the answer.

"Well here's the jest," Jasiri said. With that the rusty brown lioness told the rest of her friends what had happened.

"Oh Hell no," Kovu growled. "Kopa is not getting away with this! I'm going to find him right now and tear him a new one!"

"Kovu maybe you shouldn't," Safara began. "I mean Rafiki is talking to him. Maybe you should let Rafiki try first before you go in there all pissed off."

"He's not going to get away with abandoning his mate and child Safara!" Kovu growled, his green eyes flashing with anger. "No way in Hell I'm allowing that to happen!" With that Kovu stormed out of the cave.

"Nuka watch Mflame for me alright?" Kiara said, gently scooting her daughter over to Nuka, who pulled the cub close. "I'm going after Kovu. Maybe we can both knock some sense into our dumbass brother." With that Kiara took off after Kovu while the others silently hoped the siblings would be successful.
