The only thought in Zira's mind: Finally.

It took Zira months to subtly manipulate Kipekee so that he'd finally agree to have a cub with her. Of course she'd never outright call it "manipulation", rather that she had "convinced" him to take this step with her. By that point, most of the females in the pride didn't like her, they saw through a lot of what she was doing, and they also plain didn't like that she hit the jackpot of males with Kipekee.

After this it's not long that one of the shamans tells Zira she's pregnant, and before long Kipekee's joy will be replaced with confusion. Because why was Zira suddenly gone? She'd been so thrilled to find out she was expecting, why would she run away if he was just as happy? It took poor Kipekee some time to understand what had happened, but eventually he did.

So yeah here's the second part and probably the last upload that's in this 3-day rhythm for a while. School started for me again, and while I do have some things ready, I don't know when I'll get around to actually uploading them, so I hope you can understand that!

(Until I'm back, have yourself some fluffy big bear Kipekee, you can't tell me he doesn't look like one)
