a few more than expected (BIRTH)

Jupiter had spent the last season or so mired in a mix of negativity. First there was the whole mushroom/ooze thing and then when that was finally - blessedly - done with, he'd learned he was going to be a father. And he'd thought the plague was bad! From that point on he'd just felt...barfy? Was that a feeling? He was going to call it a feeling.
When the bird came to him he knew it was time and the barfiness increased. They weren't even here yet and he knew he wasn't cut out for fatherhood. What did he even know about kids? Nothing. Well, aside from where they came from, but that wasn't much to go off of! What the fuck was he going to do?
He arrived on the scene and paced outside the den for many moments. If he'd had hands to wring he would have. A tusked nudge from Bubbles prompted Jupiter to enter the den. His eyes fell on Alfrun who was tidying up her bedding. She looked...well, round. And somehow bony at the same time? He tried to remember the last pregnant lady he'd seen and, unable to think of one, decided that was what they were supposed to look like. The babies were literally sucking the life out of them, right, so that made sense. Jupiter swallowed hard and asked, "Is it time, Alfrun?"
NOTE: this character is pretty on the outside but nothing but ugliness and innuendo on the inside. It's best to consider all threads with him rated 'M' regardless of the official tags.
