Chapter 10: Noticeably Happier
After Kiara received the bad news from her parents, she ran to Kovu for comfort.
"Kovu!" she pummeled into him and hugged him.
"Woah! What's wrong?" he said hugging her back.
"Daddy wont let us have cubs!" she yelled into Kovu's shoulder.
He started gently rubbing her back with his paw.
"It's okay, he's got to let us have a cub eventually, right? We're going to need an heir. He'll let us have cubs over time. I think he just needs to get used to the idea. You are his only daughter after all. Give him time and he'll come around."
"You think so?" Kiara asked, her big eyes looking into Kovu's.
"Of course. I know he will."
Kiara smiled.
"Okay. I guess I'll ask another time." She said as she wrapped her tail around Kovu's. Kovu nuzzled her and looked into her eyes that constantly drove him wild.
"What do you want to name them?" he asked.
"I don't know. What do you think?"
"There's a name I've been thinking of for a while. It's Kivu. It's a mix of both our names. What do you think?"
Kiara thought a moment.
"Yeah! That's a cute name! For a boy, right?"
"For a king!" Kovu corrected.
"Unless our first born is a girl."
"Oh yeah." Kovu said. "What name do you want if it's a girl?"
"Hm... I don't know. I havn't thought about it much."
"Oh! I got one!" Kovu said excitedly. "How about Mildred!"
Kiara's eyes scrunched up. "What!"
Kovu laughed.
"Kidding! Kidding!" he said.
He nuzzled her. "I'm sure what ever their names are, they'll be great cubs, because they will have a great mother."
Kiara licked his cheek.
"I can't wait." she whispered.
After a few moments, Vitani came walking up.
"Hi, Vitani, how are you feeling?" Kovu asked, bumping heads with her in greeting.
"I feel great! Thanks for watching over me Kiara. Omaru told me you were taking very good care of me while I was asleep. You are a true sister."
"Wow, thank you, Vitani. That's really sweet." Kiara said, not expecting something so nice to come from Vitani's mouth. But Kiara was very glad for it all the same.
"So I'll be seeing you around." Vitani said as she walked away.
"I wonder why she's so happy." Kovu said.
"What do you mean?"
"She was acting very sad lately up until now. Also, she disappears every now and then."
"Maybe she has a boyfriend."
"Maybe." Kovu said hopefully. "It would be so cool to be an uncle!"
"Wouldn't you rather be a father?" Kiara asked softly.
He looked at her.
"Yeah." he whispered.
The two talked some more about the future. Soon, it got dark. All lions were turning in for the night. Kiara apologized to her parents for having yelled at them. Finally, the long day was turning into a long night.
