Everybody Cheer and Stop Whining xD

[[Midnight]]

[Because that's the new pups' jobs.]

She found the den where she and Caerwyn sleep, and settled down in it. She was in pain and she knew it was time for her to give birth. She felt determined to give birth to healthy, beautiful pups for her mate.

Many long, exhausting hours passed, and it was in the middle of the night when all pups were finally brought into the world. All four of them.
Midnight licked at them tenderly for a while, cleaning out their nostrils and fluffing up what tiny scraps of fur they had. The pain had been unbelievable and she had been caught off-guard; she never expected it to be so difficult. But now that it was all over, she lay in the warm den on her side, the four puppies squirming at her belly for their first meal.



{I'd really prefer family-only posts right now xD
Like Caerwyn, Quianna, Roan, and so forth.}

It was an odd sensation, for some reason feeling like a father suddenly. He'd just been fighting off a fit, feeling exhausted with a huge headache as he tried to stop himself from losing himself- and then suddenly he'd just stopped. Like he'd won. The battle perhaps, but not the war, he reminded himself.

He wondered what had made his alter ego so easy to hold off this time. He frowned until suddenly he got this feeling that there was somewhere he really needed to be. He turned and looked straight towards the dens as if he knew.

He ran full-pelt towards the dens, hoping he hadn't been wrong, hoping it all made sense in his heart and head like it was supposed to. He slowed down apprehensively, hearing Midnight within, and padded ever so slowly inside.

Once he saw his four little pups, alive and well, and poor exhausted beautiful Midnight, his face lit up and he couldn't even speak. All he could do was smile.

ooc: Can I bring in Cocoa, since she is Caerwyn's Aunt?

When Midnight heard footsteps and sensed another prescense, she lifted up her head to see who it was, slight alarm rising in her head. But she saw that it was the pups' father, and her frown disappeared. Seeing him smile like that made her smile, too, and she didn't say a word to break the sound of the quiet suckling.

She invited him in closer, nosing her eldest pup gently. They were so small and helpess, she thought, and it was hard to believe that both she had Caerwyn, new parents, had once been as tiny and innocent as this. But it only made her smile more when she realized how far she herself had come.

"Your new, beautiful pups," she whispered softly, looking up at Caerwyn.




{Fine with me, Zo}

Roan was waiting. He had heard Midnight's howl, but Roan decided to wait for Caerwyn to arrive before he went to congratulate her. Seeing his half-brother go into the den, he smiled and waited for a moment before loping along the clearing, peeking into Midnight's den.
"Hello." he greeted softly, knowing Midnight would be tired. He nodded to Caerwyn, he hadn't seen him for a while, and slowly made his way in, but stopped when he was a few feet away from Midnight, he didn't want to intrude if he was unwanted.

"I hope you don't mind me coming in." he said, looking at the pups at Midnight's belly. They looked so innocent, so... Frail. It made him smile, and he looked at Caerwyn and Midnight.
"Congratulations. They're lovely."
It felt a bit strange, saying something like that sounded feminine when it came from a male's mouth, but when a female said it... Nothing was wrong. Roan didn't care, though, he was only being truthful.

Looking at the pups again, his smile widened. He wondered if Carmine liked pups, but why was he thinking about Carmine? He should be thinking about Midnight, Caerwyn and their pups. He should be thinking of being happy for them.

Cocoa heard Midnight's happy howl, and she smiled. Pups had been born, and they were her nephew's pups. It was Caerwyn, of course. She padded into the den slowly, smiling at Caerwyn and Midnight. "Congratulations, you two. They are very nice." Cocoa said happily. She then thought about her own pups. That would probably never happen because Shaye was dead, and she probably wouldn't ever find a new mate either. But of course, she was just thinking about all of that in her head. She didn't show any of the sadness in her eyes, only happiness.
