Too late to turn back now.
Moto had given up trying to find Keeni'habubwana, not that she'd looked particularly hard in the first place. She preferred to do this by herself, in private, and had plopped herself down in the first shallow cave she'd found near the cliffs as soon as she felt the first few contractions begin.
The birth itself was looking as if it'd be an easy one, thank Finar-si. She lay there for the better part of an hour before the first cub made its appearance. A gold and red female, she realized, as she took it between her jaws and cleaned it roughly with her tongue. Odd, coming from two solid red lions -- but she remembered Keeni saying something about his sister, she thought he'd said she'd had some gold. Besides, wasn't the hottest part of fire the yellow-white color at its core?

The little female wiggled about on the ground inbetween Motomilia's paws. Eyes still shut, she made quiet squealing noises, throwing a hungry fit. Right about now, she didn't give a damn if she was clean or not -- because if there was no milk to fill her little belly, she'd make a big deal about it.
She kicked forward a few centimeters, as she began sucking on one of Motomilia's toes. It would do, for now atleast. Satisfied, the yellow newborn sat silent for a few moments. Which in turn, followed by another squeak.
---------------------------------------------
Keenihabu'bwana was not too far away. He padded lightly in the sand, as he made his way towards the scent of his mate. He let out a light roar, letting her know he was here now. After a second, he bounded off, heading for the caves near the cliffs. He continued to follow the scents.

Moto stared at the golden cub for a moment, startled, before snorting and moving her to her belly. It'd be more likely to actually find some sustanence there.
Ah, Keeni was here. She let out an answering growl, letting him know she'd heard him and if he wished, he could come in.

The little one became silent as it was placed infront of Moto's belly. Ah some yumyums! Happy, the little yellow female ate quietly. No more grunting and complaining would come out of her for a while, now that she obtained what she wanted all along.
---------------------------------------------
Keeni padded lightly to the entrance of the cave that Motomilia had chosen to give birth. He smiled, somewhat suprised that she already had begun without him. Marching over to her side, he laid down. He really didn't know what to say to her, since well she was doing her own thing. For now, he just watched. His eyes widened in shock as he spotted the first cub, almost of pure yellow colour. Wow! Jaye's genes really had shown in that cub. His smile widened with happiness.
He just had to say something to her. "Wow. She's beautiful, Motomilia." He looked into the lioness' eyes. He never felt so happy before in his life. It was the most amazing sight ever.

Moto managed a purr in response, but she didn't really know what to say besides. She didn't exactly share in his exaultions.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the second and last cub, who offered even less resistance than the first. She was black and red; more of a traditional Motoujamii pelt. The lioness cleaned her, too, and shoved her in line with her sister.
"Kivuli'mwale," Moto murmured, indicating the second cub, and looked expectantly up at Keeni.
--
The newly-named Kivuli'mwale was lazy compared to her sister, perfectly happy with letting her mother lick her clean and settle down next to her sibling and eat, then sleep.
