The Lion King AU (Chapter 3)

After Kovu having a little talk with his sister and brother in law about fatherhood, Kovu came back to the pride. He was searching for Kiara, “Kiara. Babe, I’m home” Kovu said. But there was no answer, “Babe? You here? Babe?” Kovu called, but there was still no answer.
Kovu began to worry, he feared that maybe Kiara left the pride, or worse, maybe his mother Zira kidnapped her so she could kill the unborn cub. Later, he looked in the den. He found Kiara, but he spotted wetness on the ground. Maybe Kiara’s water broke! Kiara turned to Kovu “Kovu, it’s time” Kiara cried, feeling the pain. Kovu runs into the den to help Kiara deliver her cub, “Zuri, is Kiara okay?” Kovu asked “She’s doing just fine, it’s gonna be a while before we deliver the cub” Zuri said. 
Kovu comes to Kiara “Kovu, I was thinking of a name for our cub, but it’s difficult to choose” Kiara said “Well, I was thinking. If it’s a girl cub, we could name it Shani. It means “Marvelous” in Swahili” Kovu said. “Really? Are you sure you’re not gonna name it Malik?” Tiifu asked “Nah. I’m getting sick of the name Malik” Kovu said. 
“And I thought if the cub is a boy, we could name it Kenji. It means “Strong” in Japanese” Kiara said. 
“I love it! Shani for a girl and Kenji for a boy” Kovu said, Kiara felt more pain. She looked back and saw water coming out “It’s coming!” Kiara screamed. 
Soon, Kiara started to give birth, with her friend Zuri helping with the delivering “Push, Kiara” Zuri said, Kiara groaned and turned to Kovu “HELP ME, KOVU” Kiara screamed. 
“Shush, Kiara. You can do this, if it means anything to deliver my daughter or son. You can do this” Kovu said “Just one last push, Kiara. Then it’s all over with” Zuri said. 
Kiara screamed so loud that birds flew away from their trees, Kiara breathed and heard tiny meowing “There, you go” Zuri said “What is it, Zuri” Kovu asked. “It’s a beautiful baby boy cub” Zuri said. 
The cub laid in Kiara’s paws, it looked exactly like Kovu but had darker fur and a black mane. It almost looked like Nuka, but doesn’t have any twisted whiskers. 
“He’s… he’s beautiful” Kiara said, the cub made short cute sounds. “It’s our baby boy, Kenji. Oh, Kiara. I’m going to be the luckiest dad in the whole wide world” Kovu said. 
“If only my dad were here. He would be happy to be a grandfather. But I did make the right choice to leave his pride to be with you, Kovu. Now it’s just me, you and our very own cub” Kiara said. 
“Um, Kiara. I was thinking I’m happy that you chose to come with me to start a pride of our own. But do you think one of these days you could reunite with your dad? Just so he can meet his grandson” Kovu said. 
“No way, are you crazy? He forbade me to meet you again, but that’s not happening. What if he sends you away again and he’ll put our son up for adoption to be with another lion family?” Kiara said. 
Kovu shook his head “He won’t, I’m sure he misses you. And he’d be proud to meet his first grand-cub” Kovu said. 
Kiara looked down to her newborn son “I’ll think about it” Kiara said, the new cub who is now named Kenji opens his eyes and sees his father “Hello, my son” Kovu said, Kenji purrs and meows softly. 
Vitani comes in “I didn’t miss a thing, did I?” Vitani asked “Sis, thank goodness, you’re here. Meet your new nephew, his name is Kenji” Kovu said. 
“It means “Strong” in Japanese” Kiara said “Well, hello there, my little Kenji” Vitani said “I’m your Aunt Vitani” lIm glad you like him, sis” Kovu said.
