Meerkat remained quiet as Seal hinted at a future in midwifery, eyes bright as her daughter mused about the medicinal uses of the various plants she’d brought. She was glad she’d delivered items of merit and so, so proud that Seal was clearly learning so much from Sialuk.

I’m sure she knows, Meerkat concurred, drawing in a breath as she considered the subsequent question. I think that experience is a great teacher, so quite possibly you’ll become an expert long before you know it. After all, you could feasibly have bairns of your own just a little more than a year from now…

But to answer your question, she continued with a smile, yes, childbirth is very painful. But the end result is very much worth the hardships of pregnancy, labor and delivery. I can’t think of any greater joy than bringing new lives into this world. I hope you get to experience that firsthand someday, if that’s something you want for yourself.
