She was quick to reply, wanting some water and he nodded to her before getting himself back onto his feet and trudging out of the den again. Ara just showed up dropping some herbs that she instructed him to give for Star to chew on. He nodded his head, gently taking them into his mouth and going back into the den to bring them to Star. Once dropping them he headed back out of the den like a man on a mission, to get her some water. There was a small stream that ran right by there tree and that's where he was headed. By the water was an old half a coconut that had the hairy fibers torn off of it on the outside and the meaty inside cleaned out. He took this and dipped it into the water to have a small bowl of it. Carefully he carried it back into the den and set it within reaching distance of her before taking up a position nearby, but giving her the space she needed. He stayed by her head wanting to give her room to do what she needed to, unsure of how else to help.
Everything then seemed to happen so fast for him. He watched her reach around and begin to clean the first pup, a large male that was mostly white, but had the black and brown that came from him. He could feel his chest swelling with pride when the pup showed that he was alive and well. A second, a third, and a fourth made him oh so happy! He was still nervous, but each pup seemed to show that it was healthy and vary much alive. She then spoke up claiming their was another one coming making him wonder what their end result would be. It was a pure blessing to have as many as they currently had. The last one seemed to take it's time a little bit, but it was finally born, alive, and seemed healthy. Five puppies! Five children! They were truly blessed and Frost felt like he was flying on cloud nine.
She spoke saying she has some bleeding and Frost walked to the entrance giving a light calling bark to Ara, in case she hadn't been close enough to hear Star's words. Then going back to her Frost laid in front of her, facing her. She claimed she was tired and his eyes turned slightly concerned, but birthing five puppies was no easy task. He gently tried to clean her cheek and nibble just under her ear.
"You did fantastic Star, Ara will be in with the herbs, for now you must focus on rest, I'll keep an eye on the puppies and make sure they don't fight over their food," he said softly.
