"Ouch, that hurts!"
Fireflight scowled slightly at the huge tumor lump that now occuppied her belly. Reluctantly, she had given up the comfy -- and sometimes sensual -- solitude of her private alpha's den with Euphrates for the better protected, cozy, and nurturing atmosphere of the Destinian nursery. She hadn't really felt the need to announce her pregnancy to her packmates; the balloon in her stomach was as good as any flowery speech about her being in excruciating pain for hours on end bringing new life into the world. She pawed together a mixture of fur, moss, and leaves into a large nest for her and her younglings to share.
Sharp, lurching pains seized her stomach. Her knees buckled suddenly and she found herself laying atop the freshly-made nest, gasping for air.
Already? SHIT!/i]
"EUPHRATES!!"

In a near-immediate reaction, Euphrates jolted from his mild slumber, sleeping off the aches of the previous battle. Leaping to his paws, his head whirled round, the haze of the vanishing dreamscape blurring his surroundings. Wha—?? Nearly running into the wall of the Alpha’s den, reality began to settle in his ears… which stirred him into far greater panic.
“Fireflight!” he yelped, heart skipping several hundred beats as he scrambled for footing. He raced to the nursery, bursting in to witness his alphess and lover, and blinked stupidly at the sight. “Are they coming? Now??”

"WELL THEY'RE NOT HERE YET SO I GUESS THEY'RE EN ROUTE!"
Why am I shouting? Because everyone else is shouting! Everyone else? It's just you and Euphrates! Or is it? Blood Mist has eyes everywhere--
"GA--AAAAAHH!!!"
She wailed miserably as pain began to mercilessly nom her with endless apetite. My god, I wish a healer would suddenly appear!
She whimpered as Euphrates entered, but somehow, through all the excruciating agony she was going through now and the hours of it she knew she would have to endure, Euphrates' beside her made it better.
For some reason, she thought the first pup, moving towards life, felt rather ankh-shaped.

Euphrates flickered his gaze about the den, panicked with insecurity. Hey, calm down—you’ve seen this done before, right? Of course you freaking have. So, let’s see… keep her calm. Praying for some magical force to grant them a healer that had been supposedly present the entire time, Euphrates licked Fireflight gently, feebly attempting to soothe her.
“Hey, breathe—deep breaths, alright? It’ll be over soon—just hang in there!”

"S-Soon?!?" Fireflight exclaimed incredulously through her gritted teeth. "Don't you know this takes hours? Sure, sure, it'll be all gone in a few posts, but that's only cause THIS ISN'T REAL!" Fireflight gave herself a rough shake. Huh? Did I just say something odd? Nah, I don't remember, I'd remember if I said something odd  (Should we go ahead and just have the pups? I think Sheera's forgotten she was going to make us a healer ^^ )

(( xDD Oh, Fireflight… and sure, let’s go ahead and do this ))
Euphrates brushed his snout against her bristling form, sensing the panic the bubbled in the agonized fae’s form. He gritted his fangs slightly, raising his brow at the stream of words that framed her retort. “Well, somehow I don’t think that the omnipotent people in the sky are going to wait hours and hours for this thing to happen, so there’s no need to worry. And secondly, I AM A MALE. By stereotype, I have no grasp on what it’s like to give birth! SO LEAVE ME ALONE, WOMAN, IMMA DOING MY BEST!”
He blinked slowly, dismissing the sudden notion that both Fireflight and him were drifting under some sort of freakish spell, brought on by two invisible beings that decided to poke fun at the miracle of birth.
Nah, that's ridiculous.
“…ahem… it’ll be alright. Breathe…”

I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming, the youthful she-wolf thought to herself as she followed the sounds of the, beautiful miracle of birth. Her foot steps were rushed as she reached the entrance of the camp and rushed to her den to gather the necessaries: Chamomile leaves and Bramble twigs. Quickly, now, quickly she trotted to the nursery, necessaries in hand.
"Hello, darling to-be parents, greetings, alphess," the russet-colored healer mused as she sat gently next to the birthing Fireflight. She narrowed her pale silver eyes as she set down the twigs and leaves a little away from the alphess, "now, tell me how you're feeling."

Fireflight continued to writhe and contort with pain. When the promised healer materliazed and acquired her status, Fireflight abruptly froze all movement and blinked at her in exasperation. "You wanna know how I feel, honey? Well, I'll tell ya. I feel like F---FAFA-FAFAFA!!!! DAYUM!"And then one of Wolfie's puppehs slid into life For a moment, the new mother sighed in wonder and gazed at her beautiful little boy. "You name him, Euphrates," she woofed breathlessly. Then, she suddenly recalled -- very faintly -- that Euphrates had said something about guys and how he didn't understand childbirth. "Damn right ya don't -- AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"A second (Sivvy) pup joined her brother. "CLE---AHHH---OHHHHHHAAAA---PATRA!" |

Momentarily startled by the sudden manifestation, Euphrates leapt to one side. The constant Caps Lock abuse began to wear on his ear drums, but all was forgotten—even the retorts of his lovely mate—as their first child slid into view.
His frame of vision immediately centered on the newborn, Euphrates set to the work of washing the child with a series of warm and gentle rasps. “Our little Ramses…” he hushed softly, his voice suddenly adopting a higher, sweeter tone.
He glanced up immediately at the sight of the second pup, careful not to disturb the pup in his arms. A soft yelping emitted from the infant, but Euphrates’ warmth and touch hushed his cries.
For a moment, he wanted to say something to Fireflight, but after noticing the expression on her muzzle, he opted to save his words for a more desirable time.

The ongoing chorus of wails and screams continued for some time before pups three, four, five, and six entered the premesis. Between gasps, Fireflight managed to name two of the pups Hatshepsut and Imhotep, but then she gave up and allowed Euphrates to name the rest because Sivvy forgot what her boy puppy's name was supposed to be she was soooo tired!
"Wait....a minute...." Fireflight gasped in horror. "This isn't just hours....it's been days and WEEKS! I'M GOING TO BE IN PAIN FOR ETERNITY! GAH!"

As a wall of mental blockage censored Fireflight’s awareness of the time paradox, Euphrates simply uttered something along the lines of “That’s nice, honey” before tending to the last two. “Akenaten… Isis…”His muzzle brushed warmly over their tiny bodies, and suddenly all seemed at peace.
Well, true, it was a mess, but that didn’t seem to deter him. Nosing the now washed children to their mother’s side, he curled around Fireflight’s form and rested his head on her shoulder. Smiling at the litter and to his mate in turn, he nuzzled her pelt. “They’re so… small. And beautiful.”

Slowly but surely, Sivvy began to erase Fireflight's memory so that she was no longer aware of the time paradox and would not be at risk for going crazy Fireflight breathed heavily in exhaustion. Bubbles of warmth welled up inside of her as Euphrates curled around her. She snuggled close to her lova even though she was sliding close to sleep. Suddenly, she saw a bunch of babies crawling blindly towards her belly. Eyes wide with fear, she whispered, "Euphrates, where did these babies come from?"Looks like I erased a little too much |

((we are going forever to scar the lives of these children if we keep this up xD))
Swirls of fiery locks cushioned his chin, the russet curve of his jaw peering over the rise of her now deflated belly. Tiny bodies squirmed beside their parents, swarming over one another in a blind eagerness for warmth, food, and security—of which Euphrates desperately prayed that he could deliver. But, until it was time to worry, he was completely submerged in the bliss of the moment.
Well, until a small comment suddenly irked his senses.
“…erm… you?” She’s probably kidding. Forget it. Dismissing the thought, and thus preserving the continuity of the situation, he hugged closer against his confused, amnesiac mate.

Fireflight gave herself a rough shake, hoping her mixed-up brains would resettle in the correct position. And -- what do ya know -- she was suddenly not behaving strangely anymore at all She licked her puppies and sighed in a chocolatey swirl of caramel and bliss of um, love and stuff. For now, Fireflight had nothing to worry about; she was with her family. Assyria and Euphrates' other family were the farthest things on her mind as she nuzzled closer to her mate. (Should we continue, or leave them to bask in bliss?  ) |
