Redhawk Caldera carry on phenomenon

Post dated for tomorrow because I know I'm gonna be busy.

Since she had awoken that morning, Fox could tell that things were nearing the end. She refused food that Peregrine had brought for her, and she was antsy throughout the early afternoon, requesting that Peregrine give her some space. Eventually, he complied (praise science), and Fox managed to get a few winks of sleep before dusk settled over Redhawk Caldera. She awoke with that familiar feeling of (completely normal, yet completely uncomfortable) pain, and her body went into autopilot.

Fox circled the den over and over, laying down only to get up a few moments later. With or without her consent, her body was going to keep on doing its thing. The contractions grew closer, stronger, and increasingly painful. At this point, Fox was panting heavily, laying on the ground, and generally unattractive. If she could have, she would have been sweating her balls off. Canines, as you may or may not know, only sweat through their paw pads though, which meant she resorted to panting.

Her body signaled for her to push, and so Fox did just that. It wasn't long before @Ferret (as he would later be named) came into the world. Fox snatched him up and cleaned him before the next pup was ready to make his appearance.
