From the cradle to the grave...[birthing]

She had no choice, having to abandon the regal birthing chambers of their ship, Vianni had been forced on the road and made to come here.  With it being so close to birthing, she had been a less than happy woman. She lay on the grey and black and white pelt of the interfering wolf that lined the bed she made for the lives she knew would come to the world soon. She longed for the warmth of her bed and the chill of the air in the north. But there had been no warning and she knew she had no choice. She dragged the pelt with her and moved toward the den she had carved out for herself.

Curling up in irritation as the first pangs of birthing began. Steadily the pressure built, then ebbed away, but the closer they became she knew she was getting closer.  Four hours of pain a strain and she had done it. Exhaustion drained her but she managed to wait for her mate, the first pup slipping into the world and bringing a smile to her face.  Two more followed aND she he hehe grew giddy. "Lucifer!" She howled, he wondered how angry he would be that she had snuck away, but there was no choice when nature called.
