Painted Flowers (Birthing Thread)

Birth is something that is hard on every mother. Though, despite the pain, birth is certainly a beautiful thing to behold. Esperanza had stayed in the den for a couple days by herself, only leaving to go and hunt to fill her belly that now possessed young ones that were growing in her belly. Nourishment was what she needed to keep her pups healthy and strong. She could soon feel movement in her stomach, causing her to wince in pain from the contractions that plagued her. Blood began to ooze slightly from her backside; lying down upon her side as she panted heavily. She had begun to move to tears for how she wished Chrono was by her side, comforting her when the birth was happening. She may have been a healer, but it was different when it was your own pups that you were bringing into this world. Esperanza closed her emerald optics as she began to focus on bringing new life to the world as she smelled her own blood that began to stain the stone ground.

"Chrono...how I wish you were here," she thought and closed her eyes once more, hoping healers or pack members would come and help her.
