The Agony And The Ecstasy

Gwynevere was tucked into Ysmir's embrace, sleeping with her head resting in the crook of his neck, when her brother's howl shook her awake and she blinked open bleary eyes as her head popped up to listen. There was a beat where her mind had to catch up with the present and she glanced around the mostly dark room for a few moments before her mind connected the sound with what it meant. Rudy and Fern's pups were on the way! She glanced down to a slightly roused Ysmir and gave him a gentle smile before telling him to go back to sleep while she carefully worked her way out of his arms, quietly stepping over to her bag of supplies and picking it up to carry with her out of the room. After closing the door to the small library that she had made her room, she trotted down the hall to Rudyard's room, nudging open the door with a gentle knock.

As she stepped inside, she noticed that Rudy had already gotten to work collecting the supplies she had told him about, even putting the pre-prepared herbs down for Fern to take. Gwyn chuckled softly at her brother's nervous energy, seeing so much similarities between how he was acting and how Artorias had acted for his and Briar's litter. It seemed that men were simply always going to be worriers when it came to their pups being born and it made her wonder how Ysmir would be if they ever decided to start a family of their own. Slipping into the room and gently closing the door behind her, she walked over to where Fern was laying and gave her a smile, putting the bag of supplies she had kept at the ready just in case there ended up being anything else they needed. She had come in just as Rudy was asking her how she felt so Gwyn let her answer him instead since she was going to ask the same thing while she went to rest her paws on Fern's belly, feeling for the contractions and timing them to see how far along she was.
