...and felt an odd heaviness in his gut, before he could investigate it though, Nala said, "good morning my gravid lord, and how are you and yours today."
"I'm fine," Simba replied, "they're, uh..." He paused, momentarily taken aback as he looked down to find that far from his usual powerfully leonine frame, that he sporting a slightly more slender one, with a belly that rivalled Nala's for size. His shock faded quickly though as new memories flooded in, of his horror at the stare of the lionesses, of his literally begging Rafiki to use his magic to help, of the act itself, of the time since...
