Busara sighed in relief as she left the den without having to worry. She had nearly begged one of the other lionesses to watch her cubs for a while so that she could have sometime to herself. As much as she had wanted children, and was happy to have them, she was learning exactly how much work they were. The lioness' life had become significantly different now that she had five tiny cubs that depended entirely on her. She loved her babies, but they overwhelmed her at times with no one to share the work with. Busara began to understand why her parents had waited so long in their lives to find one another before they began to have a family. They had advised her that it was always better to have a family with another beside her. Now that she really thought about it, it would be nice to have someone to share a family with, and to build onto it in the future. Smiling to herself wistfully as she crossed the pride's border and entered the rogue lands, she wondered if she would ever find someone that would want to put up with her for the rest of their lives.
