Hey Little Sister

Voltage had spent most of her pregnancy by her side, barely leaving long enough to fulfill his alpha and brotherly duties, or even to go hunt for them. But that day...that day, what changed? He had been patrolling, out to get some air and possibly bring back a meal for his beloved. But he had been stopped by something that could have possibly only existed in his mind. He had seen Illie. In the corner of his mind, but enough that had him turning his head and searching for her. Perhaps he had gone a little crazy, but the streak of blue in the corner of his eye could only be her, could only...he even smelt her. It had to be! So he had chased the white rabbit, searching for something that had gone missing so long enough now.

But...it couldn't have been her. He couldn't find her, couldn't even find a chase, and when he turned to go back all trace of her supposive scent was gone. Oh, he must be going crazy. When he stepped over the border again, the cry that met him caused him to pause. Oh...oh no. "Gaia.." He whispered softly, stormy eyes growing so wide. He hadn't been there when it began. He had searched for something that could have been nothing but a memory in the corner of his eye while his wife went into labour. He swallowed his dispair and bounded towards her. He was panting by the time he reached Gaia and his brother, but it wasn't so much out of exhaustion. He couldn't be winded by such a distance. He stared with wide eyes before taking a deep breath, looking at his brother, thanking him silently for being there. Moving to Gaia's side, he began to press kisses along her ears, along her cheek, everywhere he could reach without being overwhelming. "It's okay, sweetheart. You have this, you've done this before." He whispered, his tones soft and gentle as he nuzzled her. "You're an outright natural." He teased softly before looking up at Glacier. "Have you called for Terrae?" He whispered. He had some herbs here, since he had become kind of knowledgeable about birthings. This was his third, after all. But he wasn't an experienced healer.
