The Awakening [birthing thread]

She had been chased from her den and her wife by her own demons, kept awake in the night as she loitered outside the den's mouth and started out at the ocean as waves lapped up on the beach. She felt lost, betrayed and yet at the same time she felt confused. She had no reason to feel this way, not after what she had done. But still she struggled to let go, struggled to forgive and forget but at the same time there was excitement blossoming within her breast at the idea of being a mother once more, of trying again like she and Desiree had spoke about so many times. Sound would alert her to Desiree moving and head would snap around, eyes burning in a moment of fear as she found Desiree collapsed on the ground panting heavily. This was not her first birth, Vi knew this much but she still worried. In silence she would slip to Desiree, looking to drape her legs over the purple woman's own forelegs and drape her head overher mate's shoulders in comfort. It was all she could do... It was not long that three wriggling forms would appear and Vi would smile softly as she pulled her head up, standing to help nudge the children towards their mothers belly. "Congratulations... Your a mom... What will you name them?" She would ask, unable to look up at Desiree as she watched the tiny forms wriggle and wreath in their competition for milk.
