dare you to move [birth]

Venom struggled with the birth, the deep pain in her body made her mind go white. Maverick was right there with her though, his presence calmed and soothed her through the ordeal. Still, giving birth was no walk in the park and her pain was not hidden by any stretch of the imagination. He held her stead as she leaned against him, and worked hard to finally bring their children into the world. There was only one way through this, and no matter the pain and agony, starting a family with Maverick was worth it all.

Her only regret was that she could not see her newborns. She could smell them and feel them though, and the first of their sons already had her heart, and she knew that the inverse was true as she heard Maverick lose his breath. "We are, you’re a father.” Venom’s words were soft but said as she caught her breath. She lifted her head so She could nuzzle into Maverick’s cheek, as their puppy nursed for the first time. However much attention she wanted to give him, they were far from finished.

The Empress took another breath and the scene unfolded just the same three more times. Two more boys, and finally the youngest was a girl. Four healthy puppies would be lined up at her belly by the time she finally relaxed against Maverick’s side. Feeling exhausted but absolutely happy and content. Knowing the ordeal was over left a sense of satisfaction, and she let her eyes close as she lowered her head to Maverick’s paws. "Tell me what they look like.” She whispered to him with a grin on her face.
