Stone Circle the a team

Valette had a tough time recovering from her labor. She didn't feel as quick to her feet as the last two times. She was glad to be in the den resting. The previous times she was itching to get out of the den and get back to work. Or at least, she would be torn between doing alpha work and being a mother. Now she was content to just rest with her children growing. It was a cycle of eat, sleep, repeat. Sometimes the mother would break that pattern by cleaning her growing babies. She was still in shock how big they were especially now they could take milk whenever they wanted.

Valette roused from a double cry. Often she didn't respond right away as her experience told her that pups didn't need to be tended to at every squeak they gave. It would almost be impossible with four of them. Valette lifted her head and assessed the situation. She smiled at the sight of Leta being too round to roll back. It sounded contradicting but in real life, it was clearly something that could happen. Valette reached to her only daughter and nudged her gently enough that it wouldn't hurt but with enough force for the pup to turn the right way. She licked over the little one's face and then over her brother that was close to her and seemed a bit distressed with hearing her cries.

Clearly, their ears were starting to work, it would be soon when they would open their eyes then. Valette hummed happily. "There all settled again," she whispered softly and looked adoringly at her four bundles of joy.
