Like her older brother, Taki had refused to leave her position outside the den. She helped him keep an eye out for any potential danger, not even allowing herself to really sleep; just a sort of half sleep that allowed her to somewhat rest while still being alert enough to pick up any sounds or movements around them.

Sia stirred beside her and got up. She looked in his direction just in time to see him glancing in the den for probably the tenth time in the last few hours. She smiled at his stubborn protectiveness. He had always been that way, at least as far back as she could remember. 

Turning back to place her head on her paws again, she remained where she was. She wasn't sure if Shivali was awake in there, but there really wasn't room for both her and Sia inside the whelping den. So, she continued to keep watch, knowing she would get to meet her new family members soon enough.
