It was good for Song to concentrate on Erani's words, they would serve as an island in her sea of struggle. She did her best to stay hopeful and not think about all of the terrible outcomes that could happen. She just needed to keep her mind on steady breathing, and eventually pushing. By the way things were going though, she knew there had to be something amiss. Dhiren had absolutely no trouble finding his way from her womb. Song didn't wish to utter too many words yet, get concentration primarily on getting air into her lungs and then back out. The healer would give her direct questions that Song would breathlessly answer,?"My abdomen mostly, but there's a very sharp pain up through my spine." she would wince through another contraction. They should have been there already,?"The last litter was five and I'm sure I wasn't quite this big. So I'm sure it's at least that many this time." she would shift uncomfortably as the pain and contractions would continue. Oh how she wanted these babies out of her! It was time for them to greet the world, why were they not here yet? Erani would offer another bitter herb, one Song recognized. A dark thought would cross her mind, she hoped that she would be able to make use of its properties. The healer would examine her rotund middle as she worked to bring the children into the world, her warm paws gently feeling the new lives that were still within her. She would feel the gentle push into the soft flesh, and suddenly everything would be released just as Cherokee stormed the entrance. A gasp of relief would flow from Song's pearlescent maw as the first of her brood would be welcomed into the world. She would not have the time to caress him however as another contraction would contort her body. She knew that Cherokee and Erani would be able to care for the pup properly. She would try to focus her mind on breathing and pushing now, hoping it would be a quicker finish than start up. Four more times she would endure the riddance of the helpless bodies, trying her best to clean and help with as many as she could. Each child seeming healthy and all of them were beautiful. Her bicolored gaze would shift first to Erani, she needed affirmation that she was finally through the birthing process. Her next look was to her husband, hopeful to see his proud gaze. Excitement would replace the exhaustion as her body heaved a sigh of relief, she felt like a whole new wolf.? Speech, |
