In The Darkness, I Found The Light

A panicked call came from Dalila and Chimera... didn't immediately act. He came to fear this day. After what happened to Aliana, all the man could see was dead puppies. Viper had given birth to dead puppies. Aliana had lost her entire litter. Would Dalila lose hers as well? Was it his fault? It wasn't too far fetched to think that his genes were bad. His parents had been half siblings, after all. Perhaps he was paying for their mistake. He was faulty. His seed was rotten. This was his punishment for being the bastard that he was.

Slowly and begrudgingly, Chimera made his way to the chamber where Dalila had been staying. Siren was already there working on the mottled woman but he was more than surprised to see Aliana there as well. The brute's pale pink eye watched as the clouded fae offered the birthing woman a vial of something. Since the loss of their children, Ali had become a wraith. Chimera was glad that she had come out of the birth physically unscathed. He would have traded those pups for the woman's life over and over again. She was the most important thing to him. Not children.

With a sigh of exhaustion, the black and white giant padded into the room. He went first to Aliana, nuzzling into the top of her grey head. "If it's too much, you don't have to be here. Siren can tell me what to do," he whispered just between them before kissing her crown. Only then did he move to Dalila's side, offering the fae a tired nod. He settled beside her as he had with Viper and Siren, allowing her to lean into him as her body contracted. He placed a paw over one of hers and nodded again, this time to Siren. He knew she would take care of their lover.
