is it a kind of dream

Shaye saw to the first pup, and for a moment Rhyme thought he was going to have to intervene more heavily. His cousin was struggling, she was exhausted. She had gone through a relatively quick birth thankfully, but it was showing in how tired her body was. ”Come one, Vail. You have to do this.” He told her quietly as she gasped for breath and struggled through her labor. ”Your pup has to come out now. Push, Vail.” He told her as she struggled and finally grasped hold of her last reserves to birth the final pup. Smiles were had all around as he was born. ”That’s all of them. Good job.” Rhyme offered her softly. He knew she didn’t much like him, but he was honored to be allowed at her side.
