Anyone who might want to like show up to find her and help her that would be cool. She's pretty old to be having her first litter so things aren't going to go all that smoothly for poor Qanik.
Though subtle Qanik could no longer deny the signs her body was giving her. Somehow, at her age and with just one mating, she had managed to become pregnant. It wasn't terribly obvious, not like she'd expected it would be. Her sides held only a gentle swell, easily mistaken for pudge, the aching joints could have been simply a herald of age, and she'd always had issues with depression so why should her moodiness have alarmed her now? It wasn't until some time after she'd begun to feel the pups moving that she'd realized. It wasn't just a chronic upset stomach, or another symptom of age, or any of the things she'd tried to tell herself, no.
She was pregnant.
She'd withdrawn from the pack somewhat to deal with it, even moving to a new densite outside the newly named Regium's borders within one of their former territories, uncertain and frightened but just wanting to be alone to come to terms with it. She'd longed for a family, but not like this. Not alone and lonely, no mate, no partner, just her and the pups conceived in a single act of thoughtless passion and a foolish need to be wanted.
She was alarmed now at the sudden clenching, squeezing feeling low in her abdomen, waking her from her fitful sleep. What was happening? Was something wrong? The pups couldn't possibly be coming already, she wasn't ready, she hadn't spoken to anyone about them and no one knew where she was. Her paws clawed at the ground in agitation as the contractions continued at a much greater intensity that she'd expected. She must have slept through the milder stuff, somehow, only to be woken when they began in earnest. What was she supposed to do? She knew nothing about birthing babies. Her breath whined through clenched jaws, panic holding her stocky body rigid with fear. What was she supposed to do?
speech.
cowardice is the only sin

in defense of the innocent

The caramel pelted dame walked through the land that was known as Waterfall Peak. The place sure was beautiful and elegant to say the least. The calming smell of the water that sometimes hit against her face caused her to smile. But, the scent of blood soon caught her off guard. Was someone eating? Perhaps a fight was going on? The fae was not so sure.
She walked a bit more of a distance until her eyes widened slightly. A dame was lying down on her side, a whimper and whine of pain echoed throughout her ears. She was giving birth, and she didn't seem to have a mate that would help her right now.
Huata approached the fae and sat down beside her, "Don't worry, I'll help you," she spoke and began to help the white woman with the birth. She began to place some wet moss that was near the stream onto the fae's forehead gently to help with the sweat that must have been staining her pelt and help cool her off as well. She walked a little bit behind the fae and watched as well as listened for anything she needed to worry about or something that would be good as well.

OOC: I don't really care about posting order at all, and Mouser and Laz, don't feel like you have to wait until she "officially" gives birth to you guys to post your pup's birth and feel free to make that birth as difficult as you care to. It may be a bit before I can actually post in here again so yeah. I'll work around what you post.
