Stargazing [BIRTH]

*Artemis* · 12-10-2017, 04:44 PM

Artemis had carried her pregnancy as gracefully as the woman could, given the circumstances. Winter in the north was not an easy landscape to navigate for wolves even in their prime. It also rankled her that she had joined this pack with the intention of doing something with herself, not sitting cooped in her den undergoing the woes pregnancy saw fit to wreak upon her body. She had grown heavier and heavier until she was fit to burst, but it seems at last that her time had come.

Artemis was awoken late in the night, or perhaps in the very earliest hours of the morning. The sun was hidden below the horizon and the night still held sway, so she couldn't be sure. The moon overhead was full however, and gave off blazing amounts of light couples with the perpetual blanket of snow covering the slopes beyond her den's entrance. She could see clearly for miles around. At first she suspected it was the light which had woken her, bright enough to keep her from restful sleep. A twinge in her gut shattered that illusion as quickly as it had formed.

Her time had come. Artemis waited for another contraction to be certain, gasping through the pain of it until it faded away to let out a low, weak howl. She did not necessarily want to be alone during this process should something go wrong, but neither was she overly familiar with some of her packmates. If there was a healer near enough to her den that was able to hear her and felt compelled to assist she would be grateful for it. If not, oh well. She would survive. Artemis lay back on her side and tried her best to relax until the next wave of cramping pressure overtook her.
