Three plus two makes five

Iki had checked on Manea here and there during her pregnancy, making sure that everything was going well. She knew that Manea had a healer that was closer to her, but it was a learning experience for the young woman. She'd never followed fully along with a pregnancy, having never had the opportunity to do so. Manea was kind enough to indulge her and for that, Ikigai was thankful. As the time drew ever closer, Iki had begun to prepare her things, collecting what herbs and supplies she would need. When the call came, she would be ready.

It was night when Alastor called for her. Ikigai extracted herself from the tangle of limbs that was Deimos, tucking the furs back around him before sliding from bed and eventually from the den. With her pack around her neck, Iki moved swiftly towards Manea and Alastor's den.

Marbled eyes instantly fell upon the pacing form of Manea as she entered and Ikigai gave the woman a nod before flashing a smile towards the massive, midnight man. Sliding the strap for the pack over her head, she placed it near the furs where Manea would no doubt be giving birth. Just as Alastor did, Ikigai stayed out of Manea's way, but she watched the woman as she walked back and forth, noting the undulations in the fae's rounded belly. The pups within were anxious to get out. "How are you feeling?" Iki looked at Alastor as well. "Excited?"

"Iki"
