I'm not ready for this (birth)

OOC: I don't really care about posting order at all, and Mouser and Laz, don't feel like you have to wait until she "officially" gives birth to you guys to post your pup's birth and feel free to make that birth as difficult as you care to. It may be a bit before I can actually post in here again so yeah. I'll work around what you post.

The pain ate at her as the contractions grew stronger, closer together. Her body was not ready to give birth, yet still it sought to expel the pups from her. She writhed in their grip, a groaning whine escaping her clenched jaws. The sudden voice of a stranger pulled at her preoccupied warriors reflexes, swinging her head to snap at the voice's origin before she could register it. She pulled the blow before it could land, wrenching herself back, but it was a near thing. A horrific, ripping pain accompanied the movement, a wet gush of blood staining the pale fur of her hindquarters. Conditioned as she was to pain Qanik still cried out. Another wolf had arrived, and her eyes had sought the figure but her pain-fogged eyes did not register the sight of the wolf who had fathered the litter, and the pale lids dropped to cover the blue orbs as another contraction shook her torn body to force her first-born child into the world. "Atka," she gasped, as much a plea to the half-remembered guardian spirits of her ancestors as it was a name. She could not see the pup, did not know if it was male, female, or even alive, and already her body was preoccupied with attempted to force out another pup. ,
