Simba's Pride Remake (Private-TheWhistlerify and KingKovu44)

[KingKovu44]

Kopa continued to sleep, not noticing Vitani's absence.

[TheWhistlerify]

Vitani found herself almost tripping and nearly sending herself rolling down to the bottom of Pride Rock. After quite a while she managed to get down without hurting herself. It was the first time she went down from Pride Rock in the dark and she could barely see a thing. She sighed as her head ached once more and headed to the waterhole. After drinking quite a whole lot of water, more than she had ever drank at a time, the lioness turned around and headed back. Her throat was no longer dry, but her head was still aching.

Soon, morning had arrived. Kopa looked at Vitani. "Did you sleep well?" he asked.

[TheWhistlerify]

Vitani was awake when Kopa talked to her. "Not really..." she said, letting out a sigh, "I had this headache waking me up more than once and I've barely slept."

[KingKovu44]

Kopa was suddenly worried. "Is something wrong?" he asked.

[TheWhistlerify]

Vitani shook her head, "It's a headache. I'm sure it's nothing."

[KingKovu44]

"If you feel bad, I could take you to see Rafiki," Kopa said, his eyes filled with worry.

[TheWhistlerify]

Vitani said, "It's just a headache. It happens all the time." she was silent for a moment before whispering, "It's probably the cubs, if I had to guess..." Rafiki wouldn't need an examination longer than 10 seconds to figure out that Vitani was pregnant, and she just didn't feel ready about anybody finding that out.

[KingKovu44]

Kopa noticed that Vitani had whispered. "What?" he asked.

[TheWhistlerify]

Vitani whispered again, this time into Kopa's ear, "Maybe it's the cubs..." she fell silent, "Have your mother ever told you anything about before she gave birth to you?"
