Overdue {Birthing}

She had done what she could, feeling guilty for how her sister’s birthing was turning out. Two still born children… she felt horrid. She set the moss down, unable to even address Yoshi right now. She looked away from her sibling, sitting down silently and waiting… at least until she heard the cry of a pup.

Kait’s green eyes shot towards the newborn, heart pounding in her chest as she looked upon it. It was alive… tiny, but alive… Kaitlyn gave a soft, happy whine, watching her sister now as she continued through the process.

In the end half the litter was stillborn… but that meant two young ones had made it. The green pup looked almost like the moss she brought in, covered in various shades of the color. It wasn’t until she heard Yoshiko speak that she went to grab the two little lifeless forms, pausing only once she heard a voice.

A male… she eyed him uncertainly, fur raising along her spine as she watched him. “That’s for my sister to decide.” Kait spoke simply, glancing over at Yoshiko. What would she decide to do about the other? Would she accept his help or turn him away?
