dare you to move [birth]

Venom’s affliction was a well kept secret thus far, but as the days waned on she wasn’t so certain that her eyesight would be returned to her. Despite the lack of cause, she was doing her best to normalize her disability, it was adapt or die and she had no intention of the latter. While that process took place she heavily depended upon both Maverick and Plague. The both of them stepping up to shoulder the weight of the pack while she suffered through her affliction and grew the next generation of Klein warriors.

For now settling in was easier than expected, but the true test was this day and the arrival of Ashen’s newest puppies. She couldn’t help the odd thought of having her puppies in the same place that she was born. Of course, it didn’t linger as her abdomen rippled with another uncomfortable contraction, and her mumbling woke the man beside her. Maverick had been attentive to a fault as she progressed into the later stages of her pregnancy, and grew even more protective as she lost her sight. He rolled closer, whispering her name in gentle comfort as he sought for her ailment.

"I’m surprised you haven’t guessed yet.” She mumbled with a groan as she leaned back against him, gritting through the contraction. As it subsided she took a sharp breath and exhaled heavily. Leaning her head against the side of his neck with her eyes closed. "Today is their birthday.”
