Stavanger Bay It must be true, the pains are only half the battle. (birthing thread)

Elixir felt content with the two small pups laying st her tummy cuddled in her warmth. An instinct grew inside her that would kill for them, quite literally. She felt a little calmer now as she gave each pup a lick on the head as they nursed and slept. It was a sight, little ones of her own and it was something she thought she would never have. Though her attention fell upon the little ones her eyes wondered around to set upon the golden man on her doorstep. A part of her wondered how he felt about it, this puppy situation but she was just too afraid to ask for fear he’d Leave.

It had been a hot minute before she had more pain. More pain? Elixir was sure that she was finished, a boy and a girl, in perfect health and doing fine but her instinct was wrong. A bad feeling showered her as her body urged her to push but her mind said don’t do it. For a moment it was as if they were twisted and she wasn’t sure what to do.. it was just painful. Finally Elixir shook her head and pushed hard, but it was stuck. This baby was not coming out easy. She knew Sentinel was watching so she tried not to panic as she pushed again. 

For a second it was as if she saw her life and another tiny life flash before her eyes but with another push the pup had shot out. It had went farther than the others. Scared for its life she quickly began to lick and lick until she could feel a breath or hear a faint squeal. This was definitely one tiny pup, the runt if you will. Elixir pushed it to the milk source closest to her front paw so she could keep better eyes.
