The Lion King IV: Kopa's Story (COMPLETED)

Chapter 24

As we entered the cave, panting with butterflies in our stomachs, we saw Kiara lying on her side, her head pressed onto the cool cave floor and Kovu lying next to her licking her head to calm down this first time mother.

"Kiara!" Simba yelled as he skipped over to his daughter.

"Daddy. " She gasped and closed her eyes tightly as a contraction was taking place.

"Are you okay? Are you in any pain? Do you feel nauseous? Light headed? Are you breathing okay?Where the Hell is Rafiki?!" Simba began to panic with wide eyes.

"Daddy, please, relax. " Kiara attempted to calm the spooked Lion King. But, when he didn't Kiara placed her rather tiny paw on top of her fathers and he calmed down, just a bit. "I'm fine. " She smiled and Simba did the same then rubbed his forehead against his daughters. Just then Kiara moaned in pain, Simba looked at her with pain in his almost red eyes while Kovu placed his paw on her large stomach and then placed his head the crook of her neck to sooth the pain.

"Can someone tell me what the Hell is going on?!" Macho Kubwa whined from the top of my head. I had forgotten all about the odd creature on my head, I lowered it slowly and he jumped off as soon as my head was near the ground.

"Who's this?" Kiara asked now sweating and her head laying on the ground once more taking heavy breathes.

Any minute now.

"This is Macho Kubwa. He's here for moral support. " I say swiftly before the stupid bat could get any words in.

"What?" Was all he said before I grabbed him by the back of the neck and plopped him down next to Kiara. "Please don't insert your..quite beautiful fangs into my tiny, malnourished, anorexic-" before he could continue listing reasons for Kiara not to devour him on the spot, Kiara roared in pain revealing her sharp canines. Macho Kubwa's eyes grew larger than normal and he flew behind my large paw.

"She's not going to eat you, relax. " I muttered then I stepped towards Kiara's resting body. Stepping over MK's head causing him to groan and land on his face. I mumbled 'sorry' and continued walking towards her.

"Nala and Rafiki will be here soon. " I assured then nudged her with my scarred nose and licked her cheek. She smiled and Kovu nodded towards me, thanking me for calming her down.

Seconds later Nala and Rafiki came running into the cave, the wise baboon with staff in hand and turtle shell in the other.

"Alright, I am here. I am here now, you're going to be okay young princess." He said with his thick African accent and then grinned. Kiara returned the gesture then out of nowhere a trickle of water was heard and from behind Kiara a small puddle of water was spreading across the cave ground and from the very pit of her being she released the loudest roar her small body could muster.

"Shhh, it's okay Kiara, it's okay. " Kovu shushed as he licked her head. Everyone then stopped what they were doing and gathered around the princess in labor.

"Daddy, what's going on?" Muna asked with big brown eyes full of wonder. Her brothers cocked their heads to the side as they watched Kiara moan and groan.

"Oh, uh her tummy hurts, baby. " Beba attempted to explain without being too drastic.

"Dad, what's that?" Makuma asked referring to Kiara's vagi-

"Okay, all three of you out of the cave. Now. " They three cubs groaned but they did as told as Beba excused himself to leave the cave and join his innocent children.

"Do you think it hurts?" Vitani asked now at my side which scared the crap out of me since I didn't even hear her coming.

"Well, something's coming out of a hole the size of a nut. What do you think?" I asked sarcastically earning a shove from Vitani and me to chuckle.
