ooc: Time to post those pups! Tea, Sea and Lolaf you can decide the order amongst yourselves if you wish.
It didn't take Erani long but as the contractions and pain continued, it felt like it had been longer than reality before the Queen and Healer finally appeared at the entrance of her den. Emer looked towards the white female now ready to inform her that she thought the pups might be coming though it seemed that Erani was already on the ball informing Emer what she should eat and what they would do to her. At this point Emer placed her trust entirely on the Queen, the explanations weren't needed she would have simply taken what she was told.
Obediently she would follow Erani's words eating the various herbs that were placed before her. As another contraction gripped her, she couldn't help but wonder how long it would take for the plants to kick in and work their magic. Hopefully soon. Her gaze would fall to the lavender as Erani now placed that down. At the mention of calming she would waste no time in lowering her nose towards the herb. The presence of the far more knowledgeable woman was comforting, though still not quite enough. Whilst Erani would get her through the birth, Emer still feared what came next.
As the labour progressed, instinct began to kick in. She would begin to push and at last the first of her children would grace the world. Lifting her nose from the lavender, she would glance towards the pup a little hesitantly at first she would twist around to reach it and start cleaning the tiny thing. A second and finally third would follow with little difficulty and she would clean and nose each one to her side, encouraging them to feed though well and truly exhausted herself. Two girls and one boy, each one already beautiful. Although the worry for bringing them up would likely return, the worry of her feelings towards them had been long discarded. These were her children, and she already loved them deeply.
