The sudden brush towards the larger mass of warmth got another mewl attempt from the cub, who pressed his paws against his mother's stomach, tiny nose quivering a bit as it breathed in, sniffing the air. However, in it's current placement caused for it's instinct to kick in, as opposed to wandering.
Nosing one of the nips there for the sake of feeding, it grasped it gently in his mouth, kneading at Tana's stomach to get the milk flowing in order to feed. Once this process had been completed, he yawned a bit, exhausted by the process of being born, before curling against his mother, a faux purr vibrating the tiny form.

Scootched back to her mother's side, the little cub laid confused again wondering what had just happened. But rather than thinking about it she crawled closer to her mother and began searching for something. She wasn't sure what she was looking for, but once she found a n****e she understood this was it and repeated what her little brother had just done.
After her stomach was filled she laid on the mossy bed close to her mother, tired after all that had happened. She felt her eye lids closing and it didn't take long until the small lion cub had fallen into a light sleep.
(( I hope the last bit is correct. "Fallen into a light sleep"? ))

((I think that's right FMD. xD))
Tana smiled warmly at her children, curling her tail around the four of them to keep them close to her. She laughed softly at their antics. "They're already little explorers." She said softly, looking to Kif with love in her eyes.
As her elder son left the cave, Tana tilted ehr ehad to the side in confuson. Why was he upset? She shook her head, hoping he would be alright. She was glad that Moyo was happy for them, but she hoped Bakari would come to his senses and know that he wasn't being replaced.
The mother yawned and set her head down beside the new cubs, knowing that Kif was there to watch over them while she napped after her exhausting trial. She fell asleep with her new little ones, knowing that these new lives would bring more joy than she could imagine.

Kifijo frowned and sat up as Bakari sulked out of the den. He would go talk to his son later, after Tana had rested enough and Moyo could stay and help with the cubs.
Bakari. Kif wasn't really that close to his second son. He guessed that Bakari had places to be and people to see, which is no fault of his. It was understandable: it's a big world out there, and you need to explore it every chance you get.
But, even so, family is one of the most important things. If Bakari was troubled by something, he should know that he could talk to his parents. Or even Moyo. She wast there for him.
He shook his head and nudged Tana's cheek with a subtle, loving lick before backing off and taking Moyo to the outside of the den, leaving his mate and her mother to rest with the little ones. "Was that like last time? With us?" Moyo asked the moment they stepped outside. Her voice was quiet but curious. She caught Bakari a dozen feet away, walking into who-knows-where and still moody.
Bakari had to be the funniest brother in the world. He wasn't that serious like Riku sometimes tended to be (at least, when he was a cub), and Bakari cracked jokes like their father. Not good jokes, but jokes nonetheless. He was learning.
She hoped that he would talk to her. Perhaps their relationship as siblings was stronger than his with their parents. She prayed it to be so. Kifijo chuckled, nuzzling his daughter's cheek. He had to remember, now: three daughters. Three daughters to protect from those awful adolescant lions they 'loved.' Moyo was probably the worst of the bunch: she had 'fallen in love' with a grown lon. A Pridelander, to boot. Psh. Not a very good example, now is she?
"Pretty much," he replied, leaning against a nearby rock. "It was new for her and new for me, so I mainly stood out of her way. Literally, Moyo, I paced this doorway so many times." He gestured to where they stood with a tail flick. "I couldn't stand watching her in so much pain. But she told me later that she didn't mind so much. We had created life, and she had given them the ability to live it. You, rather. And now your younger siblings."

Rolling over onto his belly from his side, Paki bumped into something and squeaked out into the blackness before him as he did so. His chocolate tipped paws dug into the ground and he used the strength, that normally he wouldn't have, to pull himself forward towards what he could smell but not see.
Once again he bumped into something that he couldn't see but for some faint reason he smelled something. Though at the time he didn't even know what a smell was. Blowing air through his pale nose, the cub scooted around it, rubbing his belly on the ground of the little den and making it a brown color rather than white.
The next time the little cub bumped into something with his head it was where he wanted to be. He didn't have to smell or even see it to know that this was where he'd been aiming. Moving his little chocolate tipped paws over the surface until he found what he wanted, he grabbed and sucked happily as his belly was suddenly filled.

Tana woke up with a start as she felt the cubs begin to suckle. She smiled warmly as she realized what the feeling was, and she watched as father and daughter conversed at the dens entrance. She smiled at them from her concealed spot, but a thought of Bakari came into her mind and she hoped her son wouldn't be angry with them much longer.
Laying her head back down, Tanashita dreamed of a large family being together again, all of them in the pride she grew up with, and she was unaware of how close that dream was to reality.

The last of the children mewled plaintitively as she was free to finally do so, crying out repeatedly for help from anyone that would listen. Feeling her mother's tongue on her fur once again did seem to do the trick in quieting her down, however, and the little female settled in blindly beside her brothers and sister to feed.
It took a bit of effort to repeat the process that her older siblings had, but soon enough she felt the satisfaction of her mother's milk easing down her throat to put a stop to that unplesant rumbling in her stomach. Loud but soft, fuzzy sounds surrounded her, all muffled. She couldn't see the sources, but somehow she knew them to be her family. She couldn't wait until she'd be able to see them, and for now, curled up against the closest sibling to her and drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
((Sorry for the delay! @_@ Will post for Matifu later on!))

Giving somewhat of a squeak in response to his sibling's own haggard squeak for help, he scooched over towards her and flopped down atop of her lightly. At least she had gotten where she'd wanted to go, but he didn't know that, Paki was just happy that he'd been able to find and smell one of his own family for the first time.
Smiling, though he didn't know what smiling was, the little cub curled into his smaller sister and murred out contently to her as if to put both of them to sleep. His ear flicked and Paki settled down against his sister further and drifted off to his own level of sleep.

Moyo turned to glance into the den at the small mews. She chuckled.
"You're daughters and sons are calling," she teased Kifijo, standing and trotting out of the den. "I'll come back in a few days. Be nice."
And she was gone. Off to think, most likely, and tell Kiwi the good news. Kifijo rolled his eyes at his eldest daughter and turned back inside, nosing the cubs gently.
"Quite a complaining bunch, aren't they?" he said to Tana, nuzzling her as well.
Soon enough, the new cubs tired and dozed off to sleep in the safety of their den. The older children smiled and snuck off quietly so as not to disturb them. Kifijo and his mate, meanwhile, simply smiled along and went back into the den as well, curling around each other with the cubs in between them, and all dozed off to a peaceful dreamland.
