All I say[Birthing]

This day had come far more quickly than he ever imagined. He'd linger uncomfortably close to Abaven's lands, growing steadily closer as Renhett's due date also approached. Though not loving his vicinity to the pack, nobody seemed to bother him - a fact he was grateful for. Realistically though, he hadn't really been close enough to bother anyone. He wondered if, like Bass said, he'd stick out during his stay here.
Renhett's call came suddenly, surprising him despite the fact that he'd been waiting for this day for weeks now. Without hesitating, he'd answer to her and head toward the source of the sound. Crossing such a pack border seemed bizarre to him, even though Bass had given him permission, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with each step he took - quite a strange feeling for the oversized brute.
It didn't take long for him to navigate to the den where she lay, panting as contractions wracked her body. While she had called him here, she seemed to be handling everything fine on her own.. well, as fine as such a thing could go. Quiet and not wanting to intrude, he'd wait at the den's entrance until her breathing eventually slowed, and narrowed eyes would peer into the darkness.
He expected there to be more. At least two, or maybe three or four. But there was only one. Though not disappointed, he was initially stunned. Taking a few wary steps into the den, he'd examine the boy, though it was hard to get a good look at him. He was a characteristically big pup, no doubt of the Jarvela blood, with a grey pelt and reddish markings. He grinned so wide he swore his face might hurt later, his heart swelling with pure love. "His name is Kai," he answered quickly, instinctively, as he moved to touch the boy gently with his nose. "Thank you, Renhett." It was a selfless thing to do, he knew that; and it was hard to really say just how much he appreciated what she had done. He retracted, certain that her motherly instincts would kick in and that hovering over her wouldn't do much good other than get in the way.
