Stone Circle Love me as though there were no tomorrow

@Keen, @Merrit and of course @Stark. Other pack members are welcome to cameo!! :D

A bit of PP on Stark, Sonia let me know if you want it changed. But I felt Stark would be with her as she got close to giving birth! :D <3 IDK let me know if you aren't cool!

Valette knew when she was starting to fluff up the den it wouldn't take a long time before she was going to give birth. The dark female realized that she was sleeping more. Luckily she had Stark that was the Beta and could help with leading. Last time she didn't have that. Valette also realized that her stress levels were far lower than last time. Perhaps this was because she knew what was going to happen. She knew that there would be a pain she needed to endure.

Valette felt a bit sorry for Stark but when she felt light contractions start, the soon-to-be mother didn't feel like having him around. She made sure she was out of the way. Valette didn't care if he waited outside but she wanted the room to move into a comfortable position if there even was a comfortable position to give birth in. The pain grew. Valette was surprised how much she had forgotten the pain that came with giving birth.

A jab of pain was the signal that the pups really decided to arrive tonight. It was followed by a gush of water. Valette grunted in dismay. She didn't feel very energetic but her main motivation was that she wanted to see her newborn children. The female started to push and realized that it wasn't as easy as she remembered. However, after some straining, she was met with the familiar screeching sound. Valette felt her heart flutter and instantly reached for the little thing.

She started to lick the pup clean. Her first born was a female and brown in color. She was mildly surprised as she thought all their children would be dark in fur color. Valette hummed happily and licked the little one clean. She already knew what she wanted to call this little girl. Keen, after Keoni. Though she would ask Stark first if that was okay with him. After the little one was cleaned Valette tugged her safely by her belly for warmth. She would let her newborn find a teat herself. Valette needed to focus on the next one that would come.

She let out a groan and a puff. She would have to go through this again. Valette felt that this one went more swiftly. Perhaps she just wanted this one to be born, and the room was already made. She decided not to think about it too much. With one deep breath of air and a strong push, the second one was born. The mother eagerly reached for the dark pup. She licked his little face clean, followed by his body. She was trying to comfort the little one before placing him by his sister. She watched them proudly, the two tiny babies by her belly. Valette fuzzed over the two with little licks, completely in love with them.

A contraction shot through her body. The female groaned and tried to push. Though this one felt rather difficult. She pushed another time with all her strength but she didn't hear that familiar cry yet, plus there was still the same pressure indicating that the pup was still there. Valette groaned audibly. After several pushes, the other was still not out and Valette was getting weary. Valette gathered all her strength and pushed again, to be finally met with the familiar cries. What Valette didn't know was that this little pup was born in breech position.

When the mother looked behind her, she froze in shock. Pure white. Valette stared at the screeching pup. She realized also how tiny this pup was compared to the others. How could she have so much difficulty with this pup? She noticed the screech was getting louder which kicked her maternal instinct in gear. Valette grabbed the pup and started to lick it clean which seemed to calm the little girl. She never expected a white pup. What would Stark think? She hadn't bred with Birk. She was certain. But then she realized that her mother was as pure white, and her brother was as well.

Valette tugged the little girl by her brother and sister. She looked so frail and tiny. Valette wasn't sure how she felt about it. She nudged the pup closer to a teat. Now she was doubtful if this pup was even going to make it. Valette instantly felt more stressed. The afterbirth followed, which Valette quickly ate while trying to see if the tiny one had drunk by now. Valette then placed her head down tiredly. She didn't expect this level of tiredness.

She closed her eyes but then she realized that Stark was probably still waiting outside. "Stark?," she called out softly. She disliked how weak she sounded. "C-Come look," she added. Last time she didn't let anyone in the den for at least a week if not more. She felt a bit tense. She felt nervous about a male so close to the newborns. She felt tense about the white pup and what Stark's reaction would be. His reaction in general. It felt wrong to keep him out. He was the father and her mate. She loved him and she just hoped that he would love all the three pups, even the frail one.
