She couldn't do this!! How could anyone do this? The pain cut through her like a volcanic eruption as she knew her time neared. The dark around her seemed so heavy, suffocating but this was where she was told to birth her children. Where so many other have done the same. Shaky limbs and heavy breathing seemed to drain her limited energy with every passing moment but she paced on and on unable to rest. Tiny circles within the cavern like a mad animal.
A fight between wishing someone was here battled against the longing to be left alone. Growling that she couldn't even think straight, unusual for the silent white femme who normally clung to silence like a life saver. Finally her hind legs gave out from under her and she laid there for what seemed an eternity.
Surely she would die from this. No! She couldn't think like that. The pups would need her' she had to live for them. Her tiny body wracked with agony as the first waves of child birth crashed upon her. A whimpering growl as she pushed as hard as she could. Instinct taking over along with trying to do everything Kiva had done. The memory was fuzzy right now but she tried to remember everything the crescent marked huntress told her about delivering new life.
The first born arrived after a shocking amount of anguish exhausted her form, blood tailing both of their bodies as she curled around to look at her.....son. A boy as white as her with a black muzzle reaching up over one of his eyes. Cleaning him off and rewarded with a powerful eruption of squeals echoing down the corridors.
She didn't have long to Fawn over her baby before the next pup decided to fight it's way into the world. She was more prepared this time' knew what to expect but that didn't mean that the pain had gone. It seemed worse this time. Sounds she never knew existed rushed from her throat as her body felt itself practically torn in two. Time slowed, it seemed longer than the first pup but finally a dark brown form arrived. Motherly instinct nuzzled the blind young one awake as it reacted much like her first pup. Loud protesting wails until she led it to an awaiting teat. Another boy, surely Goliath would be pleased with two sons.
Sex didn't matter to Tala. She would love all of her children wholly. Light and dark, side by side was a beautiful sight to the eyes of the new mother.
Yet again, she recognized the contractions of deliverance grip her. How many more? She wondered faintly. But this time it was very quick and bearable. Focusing on the third pup, worry began to grip Tala's heart. It wasn't moving. Anxious, the concerned mother licked and nuzzled the reddish and cream baby. Whining and whimpering at the apparent loss of her first daughter, she howled quietly, mournfully. Minty green eyes welled up in tears as she continued her efforts to rouse the pup. It was so unnaturally quiet, hauntingly so......
"Wake up, my darling girl." She begged. Then the baby moved, softly like it just was waking up from a pleasant dream. Deaf and blind, the daughter of Tala wiggled gently and snuggled in among her brothers. A huge sigh of relief as tears of joy rolled down her cheeks, Tala obsessively watched her to ensure everything was truly ok.
A fourth babe announced it's arrival gently like its sister..at first. Pain deepened as Tala pushed, exhausted from three previous pups. Energy was slim and hard to gather together for this fourth babe. Determined to bring what she thought was her last pup into the world, Tala dug her claws into the earth and mustered every shred of strength she had to push. A silvery girl was the blessing of Tala's efforts. More quiet then her brothers but she didn't make her mother worry over her life. Pleasant little squeals, almost dainty in their sound. Smiling, Tala cleaned her supposed final child and pushed her next to her siblings to suckle.
Loving green eyes looked down at the mosaic colors of her children, she couldn't fathom how to explain how she loved them already. But she was already completely devoted to them.
