An Unexpected Suprise

Simba woke up early as usual and went out to watch the sunrise like he had done so many times before. Onlty this day was different. This was the frist time he had felt relaxed and at peace in years. Everything was right in his world. Zira was dead and her pride had been getting along really well with his. But more importantly was the fact that his daughter Kiara was happy with her new mate Kovu. Even though he had been untrusting of Kovu at first he had gotten to know the young lion and had grown to love him like his own son. Today was also a special day for today Simba would begin training Kovu to be king. After taking in the sunrise Simba decided it was time to wake his son-in-law up and begin his training. Simba went inside the cave and found that the lionesses were waking up to begin their morning hunt.

"Good morning Simba", a soft voice said beside him. Simba smiled and turned to see the beauitful blue green eyes of his mate Nala looking back at him.

"Good morning my love," Simba greeted nuzzling her. "Sleep well?" he asked concerned. Nala had not been feeling well the last few days.

"Simba stop worring I'm fine," Nala said returning the nuzzle.

"What kind of mate would I be if I didn't worry?"

"A sane one," Nala said rolling her eyes. "Look how about we make a deal. If I go see Rafiki then will you stop worring?"

"You promise?"

"Yes Simba I promise."

"Good." Simba said, felling a little better. "Is Kovu up yet?" Simba inquired scanning the cave for his son-in-law.

"I think that he and Kiara went down to the watering hole," Nala replied.

"Good I'll look for him there," Simba said walking out of the cave.

"Tell Kiara if she wants to join the hunting party she'd better hurry up," Nala called.

Simba walked towards the watering hole and found his daughter and son-in-law talking with Kovu's sister Vitani.

"Ah Kovu there you. I need to talk to you," Simba said after greeting his daughter.

"Is something wrong Daddy?" Kiara asked her amber eyes flickering with worry.

"No honey nothing wrong," Simba reassured. "I just feel it's time that Kovu begins his training."

"What kind of training?" Kovu asked, a little worried. Ever since he was a cub everytime someone said the word training something bad would usually fallow. Zira had saw to that personaly. Since then he had dreaded anything to do with training.

"Kingly training," Simba relpied.

Kiara was about to inquire more when Vitani told her that they were going to miss the hunt if they didn't hurry. So after the two lionesses left Simba truned to the dark maned lion and said with a smile,"Now the fun can begin."

Kiara and Vitani entered the cave just as the other lionesses were leaving. They started to join them but Nala instead asked Kiara to accompany her to go see Rafiki explaning the deal she and Simba made. Kiara agreed and so the mother and daughter left.

After visiting Rafiki Kiara noticed that he mother had a strange look on her face. The only trouble was that Kiara couldn't tell if this look was a good look or a bad one. This worried her so she said, "Mom is something wrong? What did Rafiki say?" Nala made no ansewer so Kiara asked again. Still getting no response from her mother the tan lioness jumped in front of the cream colored one and shouted, "Mom! you're scaring me please tell me what's going on."

This snapped Nala out of her daze and she shook her head and said, " I'm sorry honey what did you say?"

"I asked what Rafiki said are you sick?" Kiara asked trying hard not to shout.

"No honey I'm now sick," Nala repiled with a smile.

"Then what's wrong?" Kiara asked.

"Nothing's wrong dear"

"Mom come on now you've been feeling sick for over a week now something has to be wrong."

"Kiara, I am not sick," Nala said. When Kiara started to say someting Nala held her paw up to silence her. "Let me finish. I'm not sick. I'm pregnant," Nala stated her blue eyes sparkling.

"What?" Kiara exclaimed. "Oh Mom that's wonderful!," she continued running to nuzzle her mother. "I can't belive it."

"I know I couldn't beliive it myself," Nala sniffled returing her daughter's nuzzle. "I mean I thought my cub days were over long ago but then Rafiki told me I was about 2 weeks along I almost fainted. I mean I always thought that I would be told that I'm going to be a grandmother not a mother,"

"Oh Mom Daddy will be so happy," Kiara gushed.

"Kiara you can't tell anyone, not even Kovu until I tell Simba OK," Nala warned.

"My lips are sealed," Kiara promised. "I hope you tell soon because I don't know how long I can keep my excitment contained about being a big sister."

"I'll tell him tonight," Nala promised. Then the two lionesses walked towards Priderock talking away about the new prince or princess on the way.
