Northstar Vale if it be granted

I am... so bad at dad replies in birthing threads :'). This will probably be my only post until the babies are outies instead of innies. <3

Arsenio paced on hurried red paws.

The screams from Tamar had filled his mind. It was all he could hear. Above the noise of the vale, above the waters that flowed through their land, there was nothing but the sound of his wife’s pained cries of labor.

The man stopped his pacing to look into the den. Meadow would assist her, he reminded himself. Meadow was skilled and gentle with her work. She would deliver their children to the world in healthy, strong bodies. Arsenio would not have it any other way. Tamar would be the mother to another litter of perfect puppies.

Heartache shared a spot beside his nervousness as he thought of their son.

Arsenio couldn’t stand to wait outside. He stuffed his head into the den and searched for the face of his wife. The sounds of her strength filled the room. The cries of her voice pulled at his heart.
