Song giving birth to the final set of pups was fast and smooth. Silent smiled through the pain at the sight of all five newborns, now safely wrapped in their mother's warmth and drinking the milk they needed. Such a miracle - or a set of miracles, rather - was enough to make anyone gaze on them with true love. It was a thought that lasted for only a few seconds, for Silent's contractions began to start up again. She gave one last loving look to Bronze before she closed her eyes and let the birthing process take over.
She knew that Bronze was at her side and Loccian was hovering in case anything became complicated with the delivery. Silent mentally appreciated having them nearby, telling her to breathe and keep the pace up. It wasn't hard to do, but when the contractions hit again, they were the toughest and most painful. She broke the pattern and began to feel the puppies move around inside of her. Silent didn't utter a word or cry out in pain as her muscles contracted and moved the first set of puppies from her womb.
Two beautiful babies - one black with a splash of white across his face; the other with a silver pelt that seemed to shimmer - arrived on the warm den floor. She allowed Loccian to look them over, making sure they were crying and in perfect health. There was no hesitancy in the black female's contractions as the other puppies made their way out. Another newborn - black with white across her chest and face - slipped from the safety of her womb and settled next to her siblings. One final contraction was sent through Silent's body and the fourth and last pup was released from its warm and secure home. They were all there, alive and well. It was enough to make Silent happy.
After the delivery, they began to cry for their first meals and warmth. She securely wrapped her tail around the bunch and brought them closer to her form. They found her stomach and hungrily began to suckle from the nipples that provided their food. Tears gently fell from Silent's emerald green eyes, looking up at Bronze before she sighed happily at the sight of their final batch of children. In the same order they came out of Silent, they were lined up against her stomach, eating their fill of the milk that was provided. She lowered her head, tenderly licked each pup, and whispered their individual names. The names that she and Bronze had picked for them came from her lips like the rain outside falling from the sky.
"Mercury..." she said, licking the forehead and whole body of her firstborn son. A tender nuzzle and lick came for her second born, causing her voice to break as she gently spoke, "Faolan." Snuggled between the closer nook of her hind leg were the two girls, each hanging onto her for dear life. "Ara.." Silent licked the dark and light pup before snuggling the baby of the litter closer to her siblings. "Jendai.." A lovely name indeed, one that she hadn't thought of, but rather, came from Bronze's mind. All four were named, getting their fill of dinner, and she was content with the little beings in front of her.
Sleep then wanted to overtake Silent and she decided to let it without a fight. Looking up at Bronze again, she gently sighed and said, "All of them...they are perfect...and I have you to thank for the joys that we have brought into this world..." Silent tenderly licked his cheek before she turned her gaze to Loccian. Her gentle green gaze met the Healer's and she said, "Thank you..for making sure our pups came to us safely." With the manners slipping from her mouth, Silent then lowered her head onto her front paws. She watched her babies nurse before closing her own eyes and letting the sleep take her away for a few hours.
