The Lion Guard: Parental Love

It was a beautiful day in the Pridelands.

The Lion Guard was patrolling Hapuna Valley.

"How's Basi?" Fuli asked.

"He's fine." Beshte answered.

Kion glanced at Ono.

Ono nodded, and took to the sky.

He returned a moment later, and settled down on Beshte's back.

"It's all clear." Ono said.

"Thanks, Ono." Beshte said.

Kion cleared his throat.

"I have to meet up with my parents." He said.

Fuli nodded.

"Have a good time." She said.

Kion pressed his muzzle against her cheek.

He turned, and bounded off.

When he reached Pride Rock, he saw Simba and Nala settled down outside the den.

"Hi." Kion said.

Simba and Nala glanced up.

"Hi Kion." Nala said.

"How was your patrol?" Simba asked.

"It was fine." Kion answered.

He moved forward, and crawled into Simba’s paws.

"How was the hunt, Mom?” He asked.

“It was fine.” Nala answered.

Kion pressed himself against Simba's pelt.

"I love you both." He said.

Simba's expression softened.

"We love you too" Simba said.

"We always will." Nala added.

Meanwhile, Nita had met up with Rafiki at his tree.

She was helping him count juniper berries.

“How is Mari?” Rafiki asked.

“She’s fine.” Nita answered.

She leaned over, and nuzzled Rafiki’s cheek.

“I love you.” Nita said.

“I love you too.” Rafiki answered.
