Everything I Ever Wanted

Irilyth watched the love and support Alastor gave to Manea through her lashes while she focused on timing Manea's contractions. It was touching to see the giant behemoth of a wolf being so nurturing and caring to her. The birth was painful, but fortunately mostly uneventful so far. The motherwort seemed to help regulate Manea's contractions, and although the massive fae was struggling with the pain and lashing out at her husband throughout it, there seemed to be no complications. Both pups were right ways around from what she could tell, and Manea wasn't bleeding any more excessively than was to be expected from someone having such large puppies. Sunlight faded, and as darkness began to overtake the den, Irilyth wondered if either her or Alastor should start a fire so she could work better.

That option never came though, as shortly later, Manea gave a louder scream and her body pushed the first child out into the world. Irilyth cooed softly as she helped receive the pup, quickly beginning to clean the afterbirth and mess from the little bundle of wet fluff. In the dim light, Irilyth could make out the dark black and purple fur, as well as small white markings around the pup's right eye. Almost immediately, the pup began to whine, little paws kicking out feebly as it took its first breath. Smiling wide and her heart filling with joy, Irilyth inspected the pup to make sure it was healthy and breathing okay, then checked for the sex. "You have a daughter!" she declared in soft lyrics while she delicately lifted the pup, which alone was a feat given how large and heavy it was, and brought it over to nestle it against Manea's stomach.

Stepping back to her position, Irilyth watched the looks of joy overtake her mistress' face and the emotional shock on her husband's. Was he crying? That was so touching. Irilyth didn't remain distracted for long, however, as she returned her focus to Manea's contractions. "The other one will be here shortly. Are you hoping for a boy or another girl?"

"Irilyth"
