Surprise!

He'd surround her again, his loving and protective embrace he'd hold her close and offer all of his gentle affections. Gaia's mind would do well to focus on him, and she'd try to still her million questions that hadn't wanted to be uttered from her lips. He'd offer her a simple lullaby and remind her most importantly: "I love you." She'd sigh heavily into his fur, pushing her features into his chest as he kissed her and held her tight. She'd cry softly into his fur as he told her again how much he loved her, he didn't know anything either. That wasn't so comforting, but it made her feel a bit better that she wasn't going to be the only one learning as they went. She'd sniffle softly as he again comforted her with an old melody.

He would strengthen her, he'd remind her that this wasn't just her. The whole rest of the pack was going to be there with her, to help her along until they arrived. Her lungs would fill with a few deep breaths as she tried to still her tears and calm her breathing. "I know this is fast, Gaia, and I know you are scared..." She'd whimper again softly, though her tears had dried and she felt slightly more confident in facing the challenge ahead of her. Ahead of them. He wasn't going to leave her. Voltage was going to be there the whole way, and they'd make it through. She'd push into him further, shivering slightly. "Do you think I can really do this? I didn't even know if i wanted to be a parent." She'd ask softly, doubting herself in this moment more than she ever had. Sure she wolves had been giving birth for thousands of years, but could she do it? The confession that followed at well was something she'd thought of relatively little. Voltage had a couple more years to think about these things than she did, and now there was no more thinking. It was happening, and oh so fast.
