Loccian arrived, ad Erani nodded in greeting. ?Good to see you again, Loccian. It?s been a while.? She nodded toward the den, watching the grey blue female. How had her skills grown, since her visit a year ago? An ear tilted to listen to her daughter and Maverick, intently listening. Soon enough, the sounds of labor grew, and her nose caught the scent of birthing blood. Her head turned, and she peered around the opening, watching Epiphron strain. One. Two. Three. Firstborn was male, Quintus Nero. The second, a female, Amalia Jayne. The third, a boy, whom Maverick named Cassius Leif. Erani smiled softly, feeling content, and faintly sad. If only Cairo had made it this far. His first Grandchildren. Maverick approached the opening of the den, announcing the newborns and names. Then returned to his mate?s side, until she slept, before he returned, and spoke to her. Erani?s eyes swept his face, reading the joy, the happiness and excitement in his eyes, before she smiled and rose, firmly shaking the rain from her fur before obliging him and slipping into the den. ?Congratulations Maverick. Your first litter.? She ran her eyes over the newborns. All healthy, suckling vigorously. She lowered her head, gently laying a kiss on Epiphron?s brow. ?Sleep well, Epiphron.? Raising her head she turned and slipped back out into the rain, nodding to Gerhardt, who had arrived, looking anxious. She offered him a soothing smile. ?Three new pups, two boys and a girl. And all healthy. Congratulations, Grandfather. You have grandchildren to tell stories to.? And you?re only three or four. Luna?s teeth, I feel old. ?I?ll have to head back to Valhalla tomorrow, to tell Chrysanthe of her nephews and niece?s arrival, but I?ll wait until Epiphron wakes.? She smiled softly. ?They grow so fast?? |
