Elam moved quickly through the pride lands back towards the den, he had sent the other banu on various tasks today so that he knwe he would be able to catch Mirima on her own. Elam had known for alittle while now that it was time for them to start their family. He wanted his first litter to come from Mirima to him it seemed fitting that Miri be a mother before the others she was his beybanu. He knew though that once Miri had had her litter that Moema would not be far behind.

He came through a grathering of trees and into view of his den, his eyes were peeled for Miri and he hoped that her mother wouldn't be around. It felt as if the lion had butterflies in his stomach. He worried that Miri wouldn't be ready for a litter but it was time.


Miri was resting peacefully just inside the den she had just returned from a hunt and wanted a a small nap they had travled a bit further then they usually did to get a kill and she was beat. She stretched out feeling a bit lazy that day she should get up and clean but there was still time after a bit of rest. One of her ears twitched as she let out a small huff her paw moved to rub against it a moment before she finnally decided to get up and make sure the den was in order. It was her day today to clean and she never minded it thought it always went rather slow when it was just her doing it usually Moema was there to help but not today. Her heart began to flutter a little as she thought about Elam and how he hasked her to be his Beybanu.

She was not completely distracted with her mind replaying the events slowly as she blushed and strived to remember ever detail she could not wanting to forget a single thing. She didn't notice the male was coming home or that she had still quite of bit of work infront of her to do. She giggled softly as she leaned against the den wall sighing. "Oh Elam..." She muttered softly to herself.

"Miri" he murmered as he gave her a soft nuzzle. "I am glad I found you alone my dear." he told her as he settled himself at the front of their den. "Come lay with me." he said to her, he wanted them to be close as they had this conversation, he also hoped that if they were closer together that he would be better able to read her reaction to what he was saying and asking of her.

He turned his head slightly to watch ehr as she moved in the den, she was a young lioness but she was of child beaering age there was no reason for him to be nervous about asking this of her.


She blushed madly letting out a squeak as her ears rested back against her head she nodded softly moving to follow her mate. She smiled as she laid down beside him a but curious to what he wanted and at the same time she could careless. She was getting some alone time with Elam and at that moment that all that mattered. She snuggled up besid him her tail moved to rest slighlty coil around his. She rested her head against his shoulder peering up at him with adoring eyes.

"Did you want something my dear Elam?" She asked as she closed her eyes and enjoyed their time together her stomach was starting to feel like she might puke butterfly any moment now. She was secertly hoping he was going to ask her a certain question she was to nervous to outright ask him. She was indeed still young but she thought if her body was telling her it might be time and the fact Elam seemed interested in it happen then why shouldn't it happen?

Elam smiled he could see now that Miri was just as nervous as he was... of course she didn't know what was comig. "I just wanted to talk to you about something, really its not a big deal and you my dear arent in any trouble, I wanted to run an idea past you." he nuzzled into her fur.

"Our family is complete now in terms of my banu, and you have taken your place as my beybanu. Only one thing is left really and that is to start having cubs. And well...." he turned and looked at her wondering if she knew what was coming next. Wondering if maybe she had thought of it as well.


Her ears rested back against her head at first before she heard him say she wasn't in trouble that was a relife. She listened closely smiling a little as her cheek once again become flushed and she turned her head from the male being rather bashfull. She looked at him out the corner of her eyes her heart was racing she could hear it pounding loudly in her ears. ~is he....is going to ask?~ She asked herself as she gulped and looked back to him now.

"Cubs is the only thing that left." she thought as her heart slowly stopped racing as fast maybe he didn't want them from her first? Maybe he wanted them from moema and he was asking if she'd be okay with it. She thought a moment before smiling. "Moema would be happy to have cubs with you. She's been a mother before she knows what to expect."

Elam smiled Miri was so sweet and he loved tha she was thinking of the others in the den, "I am sure Moema will make a great mother, and I know that she knows what to expect and her time will come." he smiled he couldn't wait to have cubs with any of his banu and really it would be a blessing no matter who they came from, but Miri had to be first, he knew that they would be beautiful cubs.

"But Miri I was hoping that perhaps you and I could have the first litter, it just seems like it would be the most proper." he looked at her trying to gauge how she was responding. "Of course if you're not ready we don't have to rush aanything.:" he was talking very quickly now he nervse bubbling over the edge.


Mirima's eyes grew quite large her heart started to race once more she quickly hid her face against his mane. "You...want me?" She muttered out softly before she once against began to cry happy tears first he finds her and introducing her into a loving family then he asked her to be his beybanu now this it was getting a bit overwhelming now. She pulled away tears still falling from her eyes.

"Elam...I...I don't know how to quite say how...happy this makes me." She said as she hide her face against his mane once more. "Oh Elam..." She murmered softly between happy sobs.

Elam moved to comfort her he did not need to ask he knew that the female too wanted to have cubs, wanted to extend their family. He was excited and overwhelmed. He knew that they would make great parents, and with the other banu in the pride his children would be well taken care of. "We don't have to rush it my dear, I just wanted to start trying to get ready."

"I can't wait to see what we make, they will be beautiful." he said a smile on his face his imagination was running wild now of what his den would look like fuild with wonderful little ones running about, noise of a full den his heart fuild with joy. He hoped that he was able to sire big strong litters. "Thank you." he mummbled into her fur.


Mirima smiled as she leaned into his side as she nuzzeled his neck before moving to lick his cheek affectionately. "I can't wait my dear Elam." She said happily her tears finally stopping as she closed her eyes and rested into his side thinking of the little bundles that would hopefully be there soon before them each one would be her pride and joy and she couldn't wait to meet them.
