Ouroboros Spine Welcome to our world

Editing to include and acknowledge Ippiksaut.

 

Even though the pain of labor ripped through her body, just Valiant’s touch and presence helped give her strength. “I know.” She breathed, “I know.”

And when Ippiksaut arrived, she felt even more at ease. She talked her through it, speaking encouraging words, and breathing with her. She brought herbs to help with the pain, and to calm her mind and body.

Valiant and Ippiksaut’s presence was strong, it gave her courage. So when one of the strongest contraction hit, she pushed with all her might. She whimpered, but didn’t scream. Instinct told her to stay quiet. After a couple of rounds of pushing, she felt the first pup leave her body. It was a big one. 

She took a big breath in after having held her breath. She reached back instinctively and cut the umbilical cord on the pup, and thoroughly licked the pup until it took its first breath! He let out a squeal, but quieted as soon as he was out to her breast. 

“Val, we have a son!” She happily exclaimed, her voice raspy. The pup who would be known as @Valor Morningside was white with his father’s grey points on his face and back, and a hint of her own russet on his ears. She could only gaze at him lovingly.
