TESSITA'S BIRTHING!! (open)

[mudfang]

Tessita's breath came in gasps. "GREY! GREEY!"

Instead of her beloved mate, Tisana came in with a few herbs. Tessita's teeth clenched. "WHERE IS MY MATE!?"

Tisana sighed sadly. She glanced away, wandering her mind for words. "He won't be present, I'm sorry, Tess." I am so sorry...

Tessita clenched her teeth. "WHY NOT!?"

Tisana sighed. "He's busy with battles." she hated lying to Tess, but she needed her focused.

"FI-" Tessita was cut of with a wail. The first pup was born. It was solid black, a fae. Soon after, came another fae, pure white. Tessita nosed the black one. "Inertia." She glanced at the white one. "Insomnia."

Tisana licked Tess's ears. The next pup came. It was a brute, followed by another brute. One was a red color, and another was gray. The red one twitched. "Scar." The gray one twitched. "Stitch."

Last came another fae, strangely colored. She had white and black striped covering her entire body, and only her black head and paws, and her white tail broke the pattern. Tessita smiled, the last of the five. "Maria." (pronounced mare-eee-ah, as in the dark spots on the moon that Galileo thought were lakes.)

(I'm keeping Insomnia, Inertia, Maria, and Stitch. Scar will go to the most willing person to reply XP)

((Rhyme and Reason were twins who could read one another's minds...))

Robin rushed in, thyme in her jaws. "This is the one that calms them down...right Tisana?" she siad hesitantly, lightly pushing the pile towards Tessita. She'd been sorting herbs all afternoon, and hoped she'd gotten this right. She thought she knew which was which, but always like to check with Tisana...she didn't want to end up hurting a wolf for her lack of wit.

[mudfang]

Tisana smiled and nodded. She pushed the herb to Tessita, who ate it gratefully. She had a tired look in her eyes.

[Sivoncé™]

"Is there anything else I can do to help?" Robin asked, hopeful tone. She wondered briefly if Tessita knew about Grey. The birthing would be impossible if she had, and Robin knew enough to keep her lips sealed.

Shasta entered, a rabbit in his jaws. He laid it in front of Tessita, grinning at his sister. "Training's going great! How's being a healer?" He whispered excitedly to her.

"I love it! I'm learning so much! I mean...do YOU know what chamomile is for? NOPE! Didn't think so!" Robin laughed.

[mudfang]

Tisana smiled as she sniffed over the pups. Maria seemed to have a torn claw. Of course, you couldn't wrap up a itty bitty pup's paw. "Robin." she said. "Go fetch me just a tiny bit of cobwebs soaked in clemintine juice." She had a weird liking for the little citris fruits. She thought they could cure anything.

[Sivoncé™]

"See ya, bro!" She winked at him and dashed off to fetch Tisana's order.

Shasta left the nursery as well, sighing contentedly.

Robin retuned, carefully carrying the cobwebs so that she didn't swallow or wasted any of the citris.

[mudfang]

"Thanks." Tisana picked up to bundle and stretched it out. She wrapped the pup's paw in it, and the paw hardly looked wrapped at all. But, the citris would work. Sting, maybe, but it would work.

[Sivoncé™]

Robin nodded, stepping back. She gazed down at Tessita and her pups with a soft, admiring gaze. "So..was it everything you dreamed of and more?" she smiled to Tessita, referring to her new role as mother.

[mudfang]

Tessita giggled groggily. "Sure."

Tisana eyed Robin curiously while the herbs kicked in on Tess. She fell into a tired sleep.
