Lights of my Life [Birthing]

Aurielle listened with interest as Paladin fell easily into a teacher’s role, and a faint chuckle filtered through her nose. She knew most of what he spoke of now, having listened carefully in his birthing lesson, as well as getting drilled with information most of her life, especially in the past few weeks, with her own birthing impending.

Red arrived, and Aurielle’s features illuminated with an inner light, visibly happy to see the man as he teased at her. “They were ready to go, finally. I’d begun to worry they weren’t coming.”

Viviane rested a paw ever so gently on her side, and was in time to feel a light contraction, and then one of the pups shifted, startling the young woman. A grin lit the Spirit’s features, and she nodded. “It was. Feeling them move took some getting used to when they first started, and especially when they got large enough that the movement was visible from the outside. It’s hard to describe, really. And that’s a very good idea.”

She flashed a grin at Red, adding, “It could be a while before we get to say hello for real. It’s early yet.”

Ayodele smiled and darted out, returning with a long coil of soft doeskin, taking the young Adravendi’s advice and wrapping the Spirit’s tail carefully. Aurielle paused as she turned her attention inward, counting between the light contraction and the one that followed, eyes glazing slightly before sharpening as she stretched out, smiling contentedly. It would be a while.
