Dawn of a new Era [Birth]

It was time. The early morning waking was unexpected, however the mother-to-be had been preparing the weeks before hand. Collecting the poppy seeds, moss and other herbs that were needed for this event. A first time it was for the serpent, but not the first time she had been a part of a birthing before. Grunting a tad, as she shifted; the pains were already starting. Luckily during this time; she had spent those extra hours teaching Liar what he needed to know and most importantly do if things went wrong. However Abelinda suspected that others may show up, knowing this would be the first little to this pack. An odd occurrence, perhaps timed right then again maybe not. Giving the birth in the middle of winter, meant sticking to the den for the first few weeks or so. Until they were old enough to withstand the cold just long enough, but for now her attention was on the pain racking her body. Those ears shifted forward; where was Liar?
