Emer could still hardly believe it. All through the pregnancy of course she had realised that there would be pups at the end of it, but now the three little bundles had arrived and only a few days old, the awe simply had not yet begun to fade. She was a mother and whilst she had been aware of her maternal instincts beginning to kick in, it wasn't until they had arrived that she had realised how much she loved them. There was no more of this empty confusion and certainly no way she could hate something so beautiful. No longer did the way they came to exist matter, they were here. Her wonderful little family. Whatever it took she would pull through for them.
The black wolf haunted her a little less now that she had the pups here and the worry of her pregnancy had subsided. Of course she still dreaded ever meeting him again and the trauma of everything would remain with her for a long time but she had something far more important that needed her attention. The rest of the world was still rather worrying for her, and would likely be even more so as the pups began to grow, but for now her den had returned to her sanctuary now, one that she could share with her children.
It was rather unwillingly that she would leave them to get something to drink or collect the food that the pack were still so kindly leaving for her. She truly owed the members of Valhalla a lot and wished there were some way she could repay and thank them, she barely even knew them, had only met a few members of the pack but many had only shown her care all the same. With a glance over her shoulder, Emer would make the quick run down to the closest creek for a drink, moving was thankfully an easy task now she was no longer pregnant.
The pups were currently fast asleep and she wouldn't be gone for long, though there was a pain in her heart each time she made this little dash, not wanting to leave their sides at all. Stopping at the creek she would waste no time in lowering her head for a drink.
