Isithunzi was highly confused, at best. The lioness recently had been getting fatter and fatter, and to be quite honest, she was in denial that these were cubs. She didn't think she'd have them... Was it Ez? Was he the father? The questions ran, unanswered, through the female's mind.
She'd find out soon enough
Last night her belly had ached harder than ever and she left, alone, to the den where females birthed. She'd have to explain the ritual to the pride later, really. She was, however, more terrified than she'd ever been in her whole life. Isi didn't really know what was happening, and she had nobody to keep her company in this scary event. Would she live? Would cubs live? What was she going to do with them? She'd decided she'd sit in the cave for another day after they were born to answer all of these questions.
But before the female had any way to decide what she was going to do next, nature decided for her. It was time, and the grey lioness' eyes grew wide with fear as she flopped on the ground of the den.
Searing pain, and soon enough, the first was born
A brief pause, enough time for her to turn around and look at the cub, though she knew there were more coming.
The second was born, neither of which really proved that Ez was the father But he had to be, there's no other way these cubs would be in existance if not, Isi thought to herself, mind racing to help her fight off the pain.
And that last one was undeniable proof that Ez was their father. She sat back to ponder what her next move would be; the female only had 24 hours to think this through, and it was a big decision.
