Babus

Although all pups eventually grow out of their temporary home, leaving them no choice but to exit the womb, Zephyra, on the other hand, had been feeling rather discontent with her home for quite a while now. There was no doubt about her being a large child, who would gradually develop to tower over her own mother. Throughout the earlier stages, when she had been a tad smaller, she had to have been a nuisance in the womb, rambunctiously kicking and thrashing. Now, along with another two siblings, there simply wasn't enough room for all of them, but most importantly herself. Fed up with it all, her body slowly travelled head-first through the narrow passage, which was even tighter for her liking, in between the contractions. Eager to escape and reach the world of seemingly endless space, there was a chance she would cause her mother some discomfort with her quick and bulky arrival, though it was always satisfying to get the largest pup over and done with.

The firstborn slithered onto the hard soil in a wet bundle of green fur, momentarily encountering the cold breezes around her, blowing at her frail form. Warmth was all that she desired and....was that milk tickling her nose? Helplessly blind, she squirmed and writhed like a worm, trying to use her limbs for the very first time. She had entered the world - her new home - and already it was proving to be a difficult place.
