OOC: Sorry about not posting, my computer went fluky on me and I couldn't get on the internet. But I'm back now!
Sarabi could hardly believe her ears "Is it true?" she said "your own brother had a plot to kill you,and our little Simba? She was dumbfounded. But a new little cub crawled up to her and snapped her out of her stuper." And who is this sweet little one?" she asked. She called Simba over to let him and the new cub nurse, because the newborn looked very hungry and it was suppertime for cubbies. "Zira didn't even think about nurseing this poor cub did she?" she said to no one in particular. She secretly liked having a new female cub in the pride, she always wanted a female cub too.

OOC: It's ok.

Zazu smiled. "Her name is Vitani, your highness, and no, Zira didn't attempt to nurse her. She didn't even try to pick her up when the king sentenced her and Scar to exile," he explained. Inside, Zazu felt sorry for the newborn. However, Vitani would now have a good life with the royal family.

Sarafina also looked towards the cub. "It looks like Scar and Zira's cub!" she said to Shujaa. "I wonder were they are?" she asked. Sarafina placed Nala beside Shujaa, "Watch her for a minute will you?". She padded over to Sarabi and Zazu, "What's this little cub doing here then?" she asked Sarabi. The cub looked a little frightened, scruffy and very thin.

Zazu looked at Sarafina. "Scar and Zira were caught plotting to kill the king and his son, so they were sent into exile and the king and queen decided to adopt the cub as their own. Her name is Vitani. Indeed, she was originally Scar and Zira's cub," the hornbill explained.

"Awww bless" Sarafina replied. She felt very sorry for the cub. "Scar.....doing that? That's understandable, but Zira! Well you learn something every day don't you" she later added. She nuzzled her best friend and went back to Shujaa and explained the whoe thing. She picked up Nala by the scruff and began to carry her to the waterhole, "Coming Shujaa?"

[KingKovu44]

Shujaa rose. "Yes, Sarafina, I'm coming," he said, following Sarafina. As they walked, Shujaa admired his baby daughter. She looked so much like her mother. "I can see that she's going to be as beautiful as you," he told Sarafina.

OOC: I apologize for double-posting, but I need to keep the RP going.

By now, Simba had finished nursing and turned his attention to the new cub. He reached out with his tiny paw and touched Vitani. As he did so, he looked at Sarabi and let out a small mewing noise as if to say "Who is this?". The lionesses all let out a collective "Awww".

Sarabi was admiring Simba's cute reaction to the tiny Vitani, she was eating a lot. She and Serafina would take turns nursing the infants. It was a lot of work raising young ones, and all too soon they would be grown. But they had some time before that happened.
Sarabi decided to talk to Shujaa. "Where are you from Shujaa? " Sarabi asked. She thought he was from the desert regions, but she couldn't be sure.

[KingKovu44]

Shujaa listened to Sarabi and explained where he had come from: an area not far from the Pridelands' eastern border. He didn't mind answering all of the queen's questions.

Time soon passed, and Simba, Nala and Vitani had grown into happy, healthy and energetic young cubs. At the moment, Simba was watching Nala and Vitani as they rested near some rocks. At the moment, Vitani's back was turned to him, and so Simba saw a perfect opportunity to get some pouncing practice in. He quietly crept up and then, without warning, pounced on Vitani. "Ha! Got you, 'Tani!" he exclaimed.

Scar and Zira had lived with the hyenas for a very long time. Although Scar put all of his trust into them, Zira still could not make amends. Often, hyenas would be found dead, or at least seriously injured, and Zira was to blame. Of course she did it, but everyone hated her more than she thought they should. But Scar and Zira's relationship was fixed, and Zira had a cub. She had named him Nuka, and he would be the one to take the throne from Simba.
