It's a girl!

Athena pulled awake in the early morning, her split colored gaze opening to see the sun barely peaking over the horizon. She thought about how strange it was for her to suddenly wake up so early. She never got up this early any more, not since their sons grew out of the "Moooooom get up and play!" phase. Then suddenly a painful tenseness gripped her sides and she gasped, more from shock than actual pain. Well that explained why she had woken up! She didn't have nearly the amount of anxiety she did the first time. She knew what to expect now and Amalia had been taking such good care of her that she knew everything was going to be fine. "Amalia... Amalia, wake up. The pups are coming," she said softly, reaching over to gently nudge her wife's shoulder. She could tell that the pups were going to be on their way any day so just the day before she had insisted that cold or no cold Amalia would move back into the den. She didn't want Amalia all the way over in her herb den when the contractions started. Even if she wasn't nervous, she still wanted Amalia there with her every step of the way. She shifted and settled onto her side, wincing as another contraction washed over her. The contractions weren't too bad just yet, but she could tell that they were getting there very quickly. Apparently their pups didn't want to waste any time! "Will you call for Tib? He'll be upset if he doesn't know they're coming. You can call for Leo too if you want, up to you." She grit her teeth again against another contraction then, letting her head settle down on the floor of the den. |
