like no king was before Despite her mood swings that had come with pregnancy, Maverick didn't see his wife much differently than he had before she was pregnant. The only difference, perhaps, was that he saw her now as stronger than he'd ever known her to be. Giving birth - he was coming to realize, by the pain noted in her features - was a difficult thing, and the fact that she was facing it with such strength was awe-inspiring to the King. Despite the obvious amounts of pain she was in, she still seemed happy to see him, and instantly beckoned him in. Glad for the invitation, he did not hesitate in bringing his exterior half into the den. He inched toward her, a sympathetic glean in his eye. He hated that she had to face so much turmoil in bringing their children into the world, but oh what a blessing it would be when the pups were finally here! "You are so brave," he murmured in her crimson-stained ear as he neared her. "I sent out a call for the healers, I'm sure someone will be here soon." He was hoping for Loccian, but at this point he would take anyone competent enough to ensure a safe delivery for both his wife and the pups. He could hardly believe this day had come. He had been looking forward to it since they had been certain of her pregnancy, yet now that it was here Maverick felt anxious and uncertain. What if something went wrong? What if no one came to help them? Maverick had had one healing lesson in his life, and to be quite honest he remembered very little of it. He would be of no service to his wife in the event of an actual problem during the birthing process. An ear flickered back in alarm, followed swiftly by the other. No, you've got to be strong for her. If he was nervous, she would be too. Almost instantly his ears returned to their normal pricked position, head swiveling toward the entrance of the den. Was that someone outside? He hoped it was a healer, but in truth almost anyone would do - if nothing more than to calm the King's nerves. {Table coded by Lu} |
