is it a kind of dream

Vail lounged outside the den, heavily pregnant. She was going to pop any minute now, she was sure. A soft smile played on her features as she enjoyed the cool Autumn day. The breeze was gentle, but warm enough Vail could be content under the shade. She sighed contentedly right before she experienced her first contraction. Her eyes flew open and even through the pain she felt excitement. After it passed she called out for Shaye and Solor, though she also wished for Rhyme to be there as well. While she hadn’t ever been a fan of her cousin he was a decent healer.

She hid the nervous pit that also made its home in her stomach, not that there was much room for anything but pups. Vail had confessed the feeling to Shaye, and even if something happened to her, the pups she carried would be okay. They had to be, she’d waited for this moment and she embraced the excitement it brought. Vail made her way carefully into the den and made herself as comfortable as possible, hopefully labor wouldn’t last too long.
