Fading World

Loccian would look up to see two figure now standing with the four, Caeto between Gerhardt's legs and Arian coming in right behind him. If she wasn't focusing so hard on breathing steadily she would have asked her mate to take the children away, not wanting them to be around for such a thing, especially when she felt like she was about to have a panic attack and flip out, but she couldn't, so they would just linger till they decided to leave or somebody else asked them to.

Themisto's voice would make the woman look towards him, nodding her head as he explained she was going into labor and that she would be having the pups son by the way her contractions were going. He told her it was going to be painful and that nearly made her jaw drop, she didn't have them yet and it was already painful, but luckily he would fetch her something to ease the pain. He would guide her through this, and she shouldn't be afraid. Easier said than done. She was grateful though that he was being so kind to her in such a state, and that Gerhardt was here which added on to help her stay calm.

Loccian would stretch her neck out, her nose brushing against the man's leg, gaze begging him to come lay with her. Themisto was only gone a few minutes though, and when he came back he dropped a small pile of some strange herb before her, telling her to eat it all, it would help ease her stress and the pain. With a nod of her head she would silently, with the exception of a groan or two from the contractions, reach out and begin to eat the plant, taking them into two by two till it was gone. An ear would swivel towards him as he asked someone to bring water, and from the corner of her gaze she could see Arian turn and run off, then the healer telling her to push when she was comfortable.

Slowly the herb would begin taking effect, some of the stress melting away, able to get her breathing a bit more under control. She would count her breaths, trying to keep them good. IN moment Arian would reappear, shakily pushing a leaf of water towards her, saying she had moss balls she could give if she couldn't drink it. With a small smile Loccian would lean over, her gaze softening the slightest through the pain. "Thank you." She said softly, taking a few laps before pulling away, closing her eyes as she attempted to prepare herself for the pushing.

Then it came. The contractions grew quickly and stronger, she writhed as she turned to roll more fully onto her side. A snarl left her parted jaws as her head lay on the ground, body shifting uncomfortably as the pups were about to be born.

The last thing she would remember was the sound of small squeals, four small pups making their way out of the womb, being born into a world full of wonder and danger. They would move eagerly towards her belly, suckling. Loccian would smile as she looked to them, panting, exhausted. Grey orbs would look to Gerhardt, then to everyone else that stood either in the stall out waited outside of it. But then her head would fall to the side, hitting the ground lightly, her world going black.
