Love at First Sight [babies!]

The weather wasn't enough to bring down the spirits that Silent showed that night. Rain and thunder were nothing compared to the storms that she had faced as a younger wolf. Now, as she watched the entire show unfold from the safety of her den, something didn't feel right. Bronze had been out, either hunting or patrolling the borders, but he hadn't returned for some time. It wasn't until she heard his howl, filled with urgency, that she began to act. Her pregnant belly was beginning to feel swollen, looking larger everyday and definitely the strain everyone quietly assumed she was dealing with. It was not like she hadn't had the weight of pups inside her pull her towards the ground before, but it wasn't that pleasant. Her slender limbs proved their worth as she walked out into the rain, taking the chances of slipping across the wet ground that was beginning to stop soaking up the descending water. The urgency that had been in her husband's call was enough to keep her going, even if she began to have labor pains. She pushed the idea of having her pups early from her mind and tried her best to sniff the air, searching for some leads before they were washed away completely. Alas, the results were grim, but she could see from afar three beings that appeared to be moving in her direction. One of them she could tell was her beloved Bronze, leading the way through the pouring rain. Another was the darkened form of Loccian, the Healer that had been at the pack meeting a few weeks ago. The third and final being was..."Song." Her voice let the one word escape and be caught with the wind that increased in its wrath. She pushed on, feet becoming slightly heavy from her swollen belly and her muddy paws, but she trudged through the mud nonetheless. Silent's sharp mind began to run into overdrive as she realized that her adopted daughter was already having her pups. This experience for her first litter was indeed something to worry about. She continued to walk until she met the three wolves, nuzzling her husband briefly before she turned her emerald green eyes onto the white female and the one small black and white bundle. "Come." Her voice was solid, filled with a calm urgency that was evident in her eyes and the way she moved. Despite being pregnant, Silent moved as if she was in her glory days with her slender form and strong will. Looking into Song's eyes, which were fading with light from the pain, she breathed in and out deeply, hoping the young woman would do the same. "Don't give in to the pain, my young one. You are strong, you are able, and you will get through this!" Her black maw rose and her gaze then met Loccian's, emerald green stones gentle and sharp. "Our den is not far from here...if there is anything I can do, do not hesitate to ask." Silent's voice, warm and giving, reflected the gaze she shared with Loccian. Taking one more look at the struggling Song, she said to the new mother, "You don't have too much more to go, my lovely. We will make it soon and I intend you to be awake to see all of your sweet babies born in the safety of our home." She then padded to the unoccupied side of Song, waiting to help her up and have her lean on her form if she needed to. Even though she was about due herself, Silent's caring nature spoke in how she eagerly anticipated the next few actions that would safely procure Song's journey to their home.
