In the same way as all mammals do. First of all the male and female have sex leading to the fertilisation of of the ovum that the female lion caries. To cut a long story short, once that is done the ovum develops into a cub in the womb of the female lion.

Most lionesses will have reproduced by the time they are four years of age.

Lions do not mate at any specific time of year, and the females are polyestrous. As with other cats, the male lion's penis has spines which point backwards. Upon withdrawal of the penis, the spines rake the walls of the females vagina, which may cause ovulation. A lioness may mate with more than one male when she is in heat; during a mating bout, which could last several days, the couple copulates twenty to forty times a day and are likely to forgo eating.

During a mating bout, a couple may copulate 20 to 40 times a day for several days

The average gestation period is around 110 days, the female giving birth to a litter of one to four cubs in a secluded den (which may be a thicket, a reed-bed, a cave or some other sheltered area) usually away from the rest of the pride. She will often hunt by herself whilst the cubs are still helpless, staying relatively close to the thicket or den where the cubs are kept. (wikipedia)
