Neverwinter Forest The beams of first light [Birth (M)]

To her surprise she was not pushed away by Kjalarr, nor snarled and cursed at by Ondine. It was a solemn task, though Maude had no love lost from seeing the small newborns hidden under frozen earth, she knew that Kjalarr was hurting and that was what mattered. She would do anything she could to comfort him, even getting this close to Ondine after birth. The sight of her, bloodied and weak, pleased the wench internally, but she knew she could not let it show. Especially not now, as the two girls disappeared and Kjalarr settled in front of the den. 

Ondine whined for him, but she was made to wait, something that made the pirate smile inside. He thanked her, and Maude responded with a gesture instead of words. She stepped forward, nuzzling the junction between his neck and his shoulder, gently licking for a moment before she stepping back, wanting to linger and steal away at the same time.
