Midnight Surprises

Bane shifted on his side, his paw adjusting from where it lay over Tahlia's bumped stomach. The warm breeze blowing into the den from the entrance being guarded by his sleeping form. Their pups, Anais, Jakart, and Nako were far back from the shores of the river, but not worryingly so. And so the banished family made their home here along the river. The pale wolf couldn't be happier. Their family was together again.?Even the fact that Tahlia's brown pelt had bristled out with the young she carried within her womb.

His mate had experience some mood swings of the sort which were becoming more frequent as well as her irritability... restless nights... snappiness... meat eaten, the elder still loved her and knew this would all come to pass when she gave birth. Bane stirred at Tahlia's nudging. More restlessness? No, his mates words reach his ears and they pinned back. A certain calm overcame the elder at Tahlia's nudges and whispering. "Do you think you'll need a healer? Shall I howl for one or do you think you can manage this by yourself?" Bane whispered as he scooted away from his mate to give her room as well as preparing to dash outside to howl for a healer. He didn't know if one would here him at this ungodly hour. If worse came to worse he could make a run for Seracia's borders.
