A/N: Hi all!

This is about what Simba had said in TLK 1 about him and Nala being betrothed. That got me thinking: Kiara wasn't (as far as we know.) betrothed to anyone in TLK 2, why is this? If Simba did get rid of that custom, what happened to make him do so? Because of Simba totally growing-up at the end of TLK, I don't think he'd get rid of it that easy.

So, everyone Please RR and tell me what you think! If you have ideas or suggestions, please feel free to email me or leave them in a review; thank you so much!

"Well, when I'm king that'll be the first thing to go," Simba remembered the time those words had past his lips as he now sat atop pride rock in the moonlight. Would he really get rid of a tradition that had been going on for generations?

"Simba?"

A female voice startled the king out of his musings as he turned to see his beloved queen coming up the rock and sitting beside him.

"Nala, what are you doing up? You should be resting; I know how hard it must be tending to Kiara all the time…"

"Simba," Nala slightly chuckled, "I'm fine."

The king sighed as his orbs focused once again on the moonlit sky.

"Simba, what's the matter?"

Nala inquired, scooting closer to her obviously stressed husband;

"Well, to tell you the truth it's about Kiara, and something that I had said a long time ago."

"What is it?"

"Do you recall when Zazu told us that we were intended to be married?"

Nala laughed quietly as Simba continued, "I had said that when I'm king, that tradition will be the first thing to go. However, could I really disband of a tradition that has been around for generations?"

"Well," Nala began, "Look how it turned out? It worked for us, your parents, your grandparents, and many kings and queens before them."

"This is true," Simba sighed, "I don't know what to do. I mean, we don't have any male cubs in our pride."

"We may," Nala commented.

"What do you mean?"

"Tamu is pregnant; we don't know what she'll have in the coming days. Also, Faizah said that she has been feeling ill lately and that she believes that she may be expecting."

"Hmmm," Simba took in to consideration what his queen had just relayed.

"I just don't know, what if none of those work? What if Faizah isn't pregnant and Tamu has a girl? Or, what if she won't agree to the arrangement?"

"Simba," Nala chuckled at this, "I don't like flaunting our royal status around, but what parent would object to there son marrying a princess that will become queen?"

"You have a point," Simba answered as he nuzzled his wife and licked her cheek.

"That settles it then," Simba said as he stood up and made his descent down pride rock, "We'll just wait and see what will happen."

Nala smiled as she followed her husband back towards the den and curled around her sleeping daughter.
