It's a girl!

Amalia's excitement and energy never failed to amaze her. She watched the small woman spring into action immediately, squealing out words as she rushed out to howl for their family. Athena laughed lightly while she watched her, her laughter getting cut off by another contraction. She didn't remember her labor going quite this quickly the last time, but she didn't suppose she should be complaining. Amalia's excitement kept a smile on her muzzle the whole time though. Seeing how happy her wife was made every single contraction and bit of pain worth it. Her red and green gaze followed Amalia as she darted around, going to get the herbs she had brought for her and then coming over to feel her stomach. Athena sniffed at the herbs briefly before taking them and chewing them diligently. She knew Amalia would only give her what she thought she needed so she didn't question them. Her ears perked at Amalia's deceleration that they were coming and she smiled again, savoring all of her wife's loving kisses even as her sides squeezed with a contraction. She nodded in understanding at Ama's directions. She knew what to do, but she still appreciated her wife's guidance all the same. Besides, she wanted to make sure Ama was as much a part of this as she could be. These were as much Ama's pups as they were hers and she wanted so badly to make sure Ama felt that. She leaned up just enough to place a little lick on Ama's nose. "Will you help clean them up when they get here?" she asked even though her voice as a little breathless now from the energy and effort her contractions were taking out of her. She settled back down on her side once again just as yet another contraction gripped her, this one noticeably stronger than most of the others. She gave the first push of her labor and she panted lightly as the contraction passed and her body could relax for just a moment. This was definitely the part of being pregnant that she hadn't missed. She knew that once she saw their pups it would all be worth it though. It took a few more hard pushes before the first pup finally arrived. She let Amalia take care of most of the cleaning and such this time, but she did lift her head just too see what their first pup looked like. She blinked with surprise and chuckled a little at the massive amount of similarity between the pup and Amalia. It had two black paws instead of one and it also bore Leo's distinctive white ear, but other than that it was a spitting image of her wife. She grinned happily at Amalia and let her look to see if it was a boy or a girl before she laid her head back down to keep pushing. This one took more effort than the last and by the time their second pup appeared Athena's ears were folded back against her skull and her teeth were gritted. She was grateful for Amalia's herbs then since she was sure it would have all been much worse without them. Athena let out a sigh of relief and lifted her head to see their second born and she couldn't help but let out a breathless chuckle. The slightly bigger pup looked very much like herself. The pup seemed to be mostly her silver gray and had the same facial and ear markings, but the markings were in the slate blue that most of their boys had instead of her dark charcoal. The only real difference was the white dappled markings on the pup's tail, legs, and back. She leaned down to help Amalia a little this time, but still let Ama do as much as she wanted to. Once they had both pups nestled snugly against her stomach she lifted her joyful gaze to find Amalia's. "Two girls... that look just like us," she said softly with a laugh, leaning to nuzzle Ama's russet cheek. |
