"They're perfect...", he purred, squirming himself into the den a bit more to look over the four cubs. His eyes were drawn to the newest one- red as he was, but not without features of his mother. "I'll bet that one will be trouble...", he chuckled, just a bit of a joke-more towards himself than his newborn son, "I love them all, you're doing so well..."
Once again he turned and announced to Suku and Jasari the name, gender, and color of the new cub, his face light up in what had to be one of the largest grins he'd ever managed.
Malik was happy to be back on the big hard thing again, helping himself to as much milk as he wanted. Now and then another paw would invade his space and he'd give his protest, reaching blindly out to inspect what it was. Yet another fuzz ball was added. Good greif how many invadors would there be?!

Kianga mewed slightly in her blind state at the feeling of the new arrival, soft pink, toothless mouth opening in a small, squeaky yawn.
Her closed eye's looked around blindly before she began to feed once more, nursing greedily at the warm mommy milk.

Yes, they were perfect.... A laugh spurted out of the tired mother despite her attempts at not disturbing her cubs, "Well, we'll just have to make sure you don't help him out then! I can deal with one rascally cub but not one rascally cub and one really big rascally cub!" She purred a little and licked his snout now that it was close enough to her. Kisogo mewed a little, blindly pawing at the warm belly of his mother's to let him drink faster, he was famished! He felt the little body nearest him shifting also but it was no concern of his. Because he had been one of the latter ones he didn't have the headstart they did, it was instinctively known in him that he had to drink faster to gain as much milk, and he wasn't letting anything distract him now! Koho was quickly torn from her happy gazing when another sharp contraction warned her of the onset of another birth. Her eyes widened this time in surprise, but instincts kept her from having to think at all, she was able to push a bit, but mostly it was her body forcing her to do so, not her choice at all. The lioness was exhausted and starting to wonder just how many cubs Mwali could sire, four was plenty for the poor mother to birthe! Just as surprisingly as it had started it was over, a slimy mess on the dirt floor that needed cleaning immediately. The pink tongue scrubbed away the jelly material from the cubs nose and mouth, then the rest of the dark fur before she was able to sit back, pull the cleaned fluff towards one of her upper teats and look at it's gorgeous markings. Another boy, "What shall we name him love? He looks to have some of your blood in him, no pridelander in my family is that dark that I know of...."

(( xd It's a boy silly ))
Mwali chuckled at the 'big cub' comment, knowing full well that it was true. He wasn't exactally the most mentall mature lion in the pride lands and surely the firekin wanted none of his behavior either. He'd always been considered a brat in some sense which could relate to his child-like behavior a good bit.
He was nearly as suprised that Koho was still birthing as she was, he knew she was hurting so he felt a bit guilty for being excited as well, but the thought of being a father was so exciting. Five cubs so far, they'd surely have their hands full.
His eyes widened on the small dark ball of fur. "Why... he looks like my father... minus the markings." He smiled a bit, reaching out with a careful paw to roll him over a bit. "What to call you then... Azeze...? Yes! Azeze." He chuckled, backing out of the den once again to announce the newest arrival to the two waiting.
Oh blast it all- the big round warm thing was moving again- so much noise. He honestly didn't know what all the fuss was about. Why the big warm thing couldn't hold still and let him drink already he didn't know. Another mewing protest and a soft bat at the round thing made his annoyance known. He didn't use his claws- that was unessicary, but a good bat might be enough to get it to pay attention to his hunger.

The cub, christened Azize, mewls in protest as he's rolled over by some massive unseen forse, batting at it in protest. He would bite, but he's really more interested in seeking that 'food' smell in this strange place.

This resting period was much shorter, to Koho's intense displeasure, and the contractions were much weaker, showing the exhaustion of her body. Through all the worries of the birth Koho felt a little paw batting her belly and smiled a bit, though it came out as more of a grimace, the little ones were so adorable, they would all be so perfect when they grew up, they were perfect now.... These thoughts distracted the mother for a few moments of relief from the pain that was building. Then suddenly, the golden mother knew this was the last, she could almost feel it, you could say gut instinct? I know, not funny.... But it was taking so much more effort for this little cub than the last ones, so much more time and energy because she had no more to give. When her torture had built past a point of tolerance the lioness, despite her knowlegde of the compromised position it would put her in she let out a painriddened yowl, giving her the strength for that last push that relieved her troubled fight.
One last time the scratchy pink tongue, paled through the efforts, cleaned the cub quickly, greedily eating up the nutritional birthing materials. When she was sure the cub could easily breathe and be warm enough, the new mother used that white paw to position her last daughter on an upper teat, perhaps on top of one of her siblings, but they would all be alright. Despite the fact she had yet to name her last born, Koho closed her eyes and laid her head down on the soft sand, blacking out without another thought, she was exhausted. Mwali would guard the new family, he could name the last daughter, he would make everything good, he would.....
((done XD))

When the newborn cub had gotten her small belly full of milk, she slowly began to close her eyes. She was about to fall asleep when...PLOP! A large furry thing was ontop of her! She wiggled and cried out, unaprovingly. She used all the muscle she had to push out from under the furry lump. She sqirmed around, trying to find another place, but every spot was taken now. She was cold, and tired. She squirmed along further away from the group, mewing softly.
((Ima make one Jasi post if thats alright, then she'll be off))
Jasiri had been behind, watching and waiting patiently with her mate as Mwali gave out the names and genders. It was such a beatiful cycle. The cubs were so amazing. She looked at them, so helpless and weak. They would someday grow up to be healthy strong lions and lioness, with a home. She looked up at pride rock in the distance. As long as the cubs stayed here they would always be safe. It was a safe place to grow up in. She looked at her mate, a Pridelander since he was young. She had never had a one home. She was always traveling. It was a hard life, and it had had its rough times. She didnt want her cubs to have to go through that. She made her way over to Mwali, giving her big brother a congrats and a nuzzle, and wispering a congradulations to Koho who was already asleep. She nodded to her mate, and with speed and agility, started running towards priderock.

((Suku will be right behind her Doomi wink heart ))
The little red female, first born and full of rich warm mother's milk, had fallen into a deep and well contented sleep.
After this whole ordeal, she snuggled closer to the warm body of her mommy and started to snore softly.
Meanwhile.
The large brown bulk of young adult watched from the side lines, eye's wide with every little bundle of joy that was born.
A smile laced his cream maw before he got up and walked over to Mwali, moving a large paw to gently pat his back and give him his congrats quietly while his mother slept.
He knew she'd be busy now and it was his job now as an 'older brother' to look after them when they came to the pride lands.
His light purple eye's watching the newborn cubs before he watched his mate run of back to Priderock.
Soon...he'd start a family with Jasiri...and he'll be as happy as Mwali and Koho are now.
Giving a last goodbye glance before he turned and started to run after his mate.
And back to his home.

She mewled and shivered at the cold outside world...protesting the vanishing of the warmth...but she was hungry...the cleaning rocked her small body back and forth and she mewled at it.. half protesting half defiant.
Foood...she could feel warmth and crawled twards it in search of it..

Mwali scooted his large body further into the den. He wanted to lay beside Koho while she slept but he ran the risk of filling up the space and getting them all stuck in there... not to mention nearly crushing all his cubs. He'd not even risk it. Even with most of his body in the hole he was afraid he'd block all the air. Gently, the red giant moved his remaining daughter next to the others with a careful bt massive paw. A few were scrambling astray so once again, he guided them back to their mother's belly. "Now now... no fighting. There's enough for everyone..."
Smiling proudly over the six he looked to the newest one. His poor mate... she hadn't the strength to name her. "...hmmm.", he thought for a moment, leaning in closer to get a better look at her markings. "How about... Jahzara? Yes, that'll do just fine." He smiled again, licking each of the little fluffs of fur before nuzzling Koho's exhaustion-struck face, "You did well... I'll just be right outside."
With that he scuffled himself out backwards, leaning his large back against the opening to the den. In a sense, he was a living gate to keep the little ones in. His back arched enough to let in enough air and light when needed, but he was so massive that his weight alone would keep any cub from squirming over him. With a large, heavy yawn the red lion laid his great head down on his paws, smiling softly. This was it.. he was a father.

A soft smile came across the sleeping mother at the touch of her mate. At the warm tongue of the big red love, her eyes flitted slightly under their lids, dreams starting in her resting mind. Dreams of cubs and hunting with her prince. These dreams quieted after a few hours and the worries that her mind had hid during the birth resurfaced. What had been happy frolicing evolved into a roaring brother, starving cubs and jackals circling the family. Her soft features contorted into fear and worry, soft growls represented the mighty roars in her mind. With a jerk of her head in an imagined fight her head hit the dirt wall, some of the soil falling loose onto the light fur coat and soiling it. At the impact her mind sprung awake and her terrors entered the real world for a terrifying moment, "MWALI!" Her scream was a strangely breathy roar, too low and quick to wake the cubs young ears, but powerful and full of complete terror.

Indeed one of the cub's sleep, however as a small particle of soil hit her tender head she gave a slightly curious and outrage mew, parting her soft pink toothless mouth as she looked around blindly.
The scent of her father was DEFFINATLY not a new scent, seeing as he had inspected her before and slowly started to crawl towards the smell, trying to clamber over her younger brother's and sister's in the process of doing so.
This little lady was deffinatly going to be a handful when she could walk.

Azize chirps in protest as one of his sisters outright -steps- on him in her quest for...whatever she's looking for. The large one that flipped him over maybe? Let her have her fun with that. He didn't understand why mother, that big warm comforting one, seemed to have gone agitated, only that it was sort of disruptive.
