To say that the Queen of Seracia was growing uncomfortable would be an understatement. At first, the added weight to her belly in the form of growing children had been merely a hindrance, a slight annoyance -- then it had grown uncomfortable as they had begun to grow even further, kicking around inside her. But it was past this point now, and she merely felt pain. Pain like she had never felt before. She had anticipated the contractions, but finding it next to impossible to place when they would arrive, they were thoroughly unsettling and crippling. For as long as possible, she would bite her tongue, not wanting to show anyone -- Maverick included -- just how much she was beginning to suffer. For her children, however, she was more than willing to endure all of the suffering of the world; not that she had any way to end it, even if she wanted to. A soft whine left Epiphron's lips, echoing through the mostly-empty den. It seems so much larger without her husband here. The woman braced herself as another wave of contractions rippled through, her muscles tensing as she pressed herself into the dirt. It was rare she requested his presence, even she she wanted him badly -- she'd always been too proud to give in. But now, she wasn't sure she wanted to be alone. With all the strength she could manage, she lifted her muzzle to the sky, letting loose a call for Maverick, as well as a healer ... whoever might come. Something told her that her pups would be coming soon, and she didn't want to be unprepared. |
