Birth is something that is hard on every mother. Though, despite the pain, birth is certainly a beautiful thing to behold. Esperanza had stayed in the den for a couple days by herself, only leaving to go and hunt to fill her belly that now possessed young ones that were growing in her belly. Nourishment was what she needed to keep her pups healthy and strong. She could soon feel movement in her stomach, causing her to wince in pain from the contractions that plagued her. Blood began to ooze slightly from her backside; lying down upon her side as she panted heavily. She had begun to move to tears for how she wished Chrono was by her side, comforting her when the birth was happening. She may have been a healer, but it was different when it was your own pups that you were bringing into this world. Esperanza closed her emerald optics as she began to focus on bringing new life to the world as she smelled her own blood that began to stain the stone ground.

"Chrono...how I wish you were here," she thought and closed her eyes once more, hoping healers or pack members would come and help her.

Metallic smell of blood tainted the air with its delicate fragrance. A subtle smell that would send shivers throughout her body - a perfume that was all too familiar. The smell of war. Ah, but this time the scent was on pack lands and as Kashkar, it was her duty to be sure there was no threat. And so she followed the fragrance to its origin, all the while hoping some bloody battle had broken out that she could join in. Life was rather calm here lately and a bit of entertainment would have been nice. Though, closing in on the scent, she would realize that her hopes would be crushed to tiny fragments. There were no vicious snarls or growls ripping through the air, rather, there was an Esper who rested inside her den. Mm, but it must be time for the woman to give life to her babes. A twinge of jealousy sparked inside her at this realization. Jealous, perhaps, that this woman had something that she, herself, did not. But pups were but a nuisance, right? Ears pinned against her skull in annoyance and she quickly shook the thoughts of family from her mind. Before her simply lied a member in need of help. The galactic woman lied die upon the grasses and scooted slowly up to the mouth of the den. She was no healer and had no idea how to go about helping the woman, but at least she would not be here alone. Esper, how can I offer assistance? Esper was a healer and she could instruct her on how to help. ""

Esperanza would smell the scent of another wolf. She had known it was Venus even though she had only seen her a couple times during pack meetings. Her emerald orbs shifted over to the other woman and began to feel another contraction, howling in pain and shock as her little babes would kick and squirm inside her belly, waiting to come into the world. The ebony woman looked to Venus as some more blood coated the ground. "Just be here so I won't be alone. My mate is dead so I don't want to be alone at this time and I can do the rest." Another contraction occurred and she pushed as her first pup escaped the sanctuary of her belly. A male. He had a chocolate color with black paws and black upon the bridge of his nose. The tips of his ears being grey as well.

"Tinaro," she would announce the pups name as she licked him clean and began to continue to push as more contractions hit her body.

He had lived in a world of darkness, a place that he would never be able to remember. It was crowded in his temporary home, all of his large siblings sharing the womb. He had grown from what was once a speck to a bulky pup. Life pulsed through his veins, occasionally squirming in the tight space. Today would be a day like no other. There had been enough growing and living in the unknown place, it was time for him to live in a new world.

Being the first to leave, he was pulled away into another world. He had now begun his life. There was coldness and nothing but black. It was only a whisper that he would remember for all his years.

"Tinaro..."

Esperanza whimpered in pain as the contractions continued to plague her body. Every time pain shot through her body, the more she wished she could see Chrono standing beside her, guiding her and comforting her through her time of need when the pups continued to squirm and break free from the confinements of her womb. When Tinaro had been born, she pushed him gently over toward her so he could suckle and gain nourishment from her milk. But, there were many more that were to be born into this world. That was when another contraction occurred. She winced and pushed hard, causing a black pup with white and grey to appear before her. He seemed to be healthy as she cleaned him up.

Quietly the galactic beauty watched from just outside the den - being here for support for her pack member. Ah, but the glorious moments of birth had been something she had never experienced. Marbled eyes watched as the woman struggled to push the life from her body. A difficult task that would end with an even more difficult task ahead. Raising pups were but a nuisance. . . Little lives that depended too much on their master to care and provide for them. Though, such feelings painted over her true envy. Ah, but underneath, there was a part of her that wanted to start a family of her own. Not purely for joy or love, but to see her own legacy continue. In time, maybe that would be a possibility. Though, for now she must focus on taking her crown as Naharar. Thoughts would be shaken as the small pup would breathe its first breath of air. The tiny creature was wet and would easily perish just as Chrono had if not for the mother. Ah, and soon after, another tiny life would blossom into the world. One that was a dark shade, though, true color could not be known until it was dry. Chin rested itself upon her forepaws as she continued to watch in silence as the scene played out before her. With all honesty, the succubus was hypnotized by how even more precious life seemed. ""
