About time. For the last few days Novella had been waiting for this day to arrive, the pups certainly seemed to have taken their time but finally they were on their way. The relief was of course very short lived given the fact that it didn't take all that long at all for the contractions and pain to begin to settle into place, pain she knew was only going to get worse from here. Twice she had gone through this now though and though of course she doubted labour could ever be called easy, she certainly found herself coping a little bit better each time. Quietly she would await the progression and the arrival of Frith or anyone else in the family. They had been frequently checking in on her as of late, a little routine she was sure sorted out between them and one of them would surely pop their head through that den very soon.
