Broken Boulder oh, give me a break already

Queenie is laboring! This thread is open to everyone. I'm not sure how many will join, but there is no post order. I'll post with Queenie once or twice a day, regardless of who is there between replies (trying to work with a realistic timeline). Anyway, come say hi!

It was time. That both dreaded and anticipated moment had finally come storming right up to Queenie's groin, anxious to make itself known. It was really quite inconvenient how it had all happened; she'd been in the middle of a meal, relaxing on the assorted pelts that @Alarian had gifted, feasting alone without a care in the world. The morning had been slow and relatively quiet, up until that first pain hit. 

Startled, Queenie stood and allowed her hackles to raise steadily as she glanced around the whelping site. Now, she had just as much knowledge of birth as the next first-time mom, but it didn't take an expert to tell what was happening. A few painless moments passed, so Queenie settled back down with a speedy heart to finish what was left of her hare.
