Redhawk Caldera you seem like kind of a maserati.

I'll be out of town tomorrow so come on out, @Tywyll @Cinder! Forward-dated to tomorrow morning :) All welcome, but Fin will bite your face if you come too close - unless you helped create them @Elwood ;)  

Finley couldn't remember any of her last pregnancies seeming to have gone by this quickly. One moment, she was telling Elwood the news. The next, she was here - panting, pacing, aching, and completely ready to pop. @Raven and @Lagan both had hovered determinedly over her all of the prior day. She had sent them away that night, but they hadn't gone far. She knew they rested nearby the den where she had whelped all of her children. She might've felt bad for their exile, but they had each other for company. And just before dawn, another joined them - Elwood, who had been given the boot the moment Finley sensed that her time had come.

Much like her pregnancy had been quick, Fin was pleased to discover that the delivery was quick as well. Or maybe it was that birthing only two of them took half the time of birthing four. In either case, the dark one came first, and not long after, came the lighter. And by the time the fourth-time mother was lying on her side with two little, black-striped beans squirming at her side, the sun was sitting just on the horizon. She felt exhausted, but happy as hell. She had worried that something would have gone wrong since she'd been pregnant during her fight with Blackfeather. But no, the pair seemed perfectly healthy and ready to make the world their bitch - Just as Blackthorns should be.
