Nine. There were nine children curled up on a pile of furs within their whelping box. It had been a lot for Aliana's body to handle and Chimera vowed that he wouldn't put her through that again. It was the same vow that he'd made after their litter of boys, but... they were such good parents. Boys and girls both this time and Chimera was glad for it. An entire litter of just boys had been rough. He needed more little Rusalka's running about. Ruse had been the best child to raise, paws down.

After the birth of the children, Chimera had sent word to his sister via mastiff, the dog informing her that she was an aunt again. All within the pack had given the fresh parents their space and the time to bond with their pups and for that, Chi and Ali were thankful. Aside from the bonding, Ali had to recover. Nine pups had taken its toll and she was thin and sore. Chi did everything in his power to aid her, whether it was fetching food, giving her little massages, or sitting with the pups while she stretched her legs as he was doing now.

A sound from outside caught the brute's attention and he moved towards the doorway, careful to be quiet. His pale pink eye fell upon Venom and Chi smiled, pulling the fae in for a quick, gentle hug. "Ali is out stretching her legs," he informed her. "Come." The black and white brute led the way inside and led his sister to the pile of sleeping, though slightly squirming puppies within their nesting box. The man said no more, merely watching his sister's face for her reaction to being an aunt nine times over.
