WATERWORKS WARNING

she had tried to move about the center of her home, singing softly to herself as she tried to keep her mind off of the pain her friend went though with a stillborn child and the fact at least one of her own unborn children though her body was a trampoline that needed to be kicked repeatedly. what an angry child and they had yet to be brought into this world, she wondered what had this little one so wound up.

as if on cue a sharp pain came amd a wetness began to trickle down her thighs, so that was what had them fussy tonight? A whine escaped her as another wave of pain came, how far was the den she created for this? It couldn't be too far.. could it?

a curse fell from her lips before she moved with more purpose,  she would get to there in time, if not barely. more pressure came, pain followed as she crawled into the space she made for her and her children. labor had started right before she got herself in fully, blood leaked down her thighs and coated the entrance. oh this was not going to be a fun ride, pain clouded her vision as she pushed despite the urge to hold back. to not put herself though more pain as her own whines grew louder.

the first pup came and instinct took over, she broke the sack over her child and licked every inch of the tiny brown body. he was colored like her but he was marked similar to a fox but that was not why she stared and nudged her first born son, no, it was the fact that no breath came. no movement, no sign that he ever lived. A cry escaped her but was cut off with another jolt of pain, moving this little one aside she pushed for the hope this next child would be born alive.

the second came with a twin, both wrapped in the same sack to make them identical in every way. when she broke their sack and licked them clean, a sound of what could almost be called anger came. twin boys, tan on their backs and dark brown everywhere else. darker than her own brown and she assumed that was the dark coloring of Issun at play but something was wrong. when she moved them closer to her bosom, only one latched on. greedily. the smaller boy moved slowly, as if half asleep.

pain came again, making her focus on the last child to enter this world. this time it was a girl and once she was clean she looked very similar to her forbidden father, all but for the tan on her belly and toes but she too did not move. no sound came, no breathing to show life. another stillborn child, just like her firstborn brother. tears choked her as she moved this dark girl close to her fox marked brother, touching each one as she named them.

"Tenko.. Aimi.." a divine fox god in her families folklore and her tiny affection.. it was then that the movements of her largest and most vibrant child seemed to catch her attention, his twin moving slower than before. she touched each child as she named them, "@Orochi.. Ooyori.." her dragon and pheonix but the smaller twin had stopped moving, her little pheonix, his breathing was coming in quick gasps as she lifted him from his twin and placed him between her paws. she knew, somehow, the he was not going to make it.

slowly she moved her stillborn babies closer to her, trying to keep them warm as if they were alive. her body curled protectively over her only living child as she let out one of the most moarnful howls she had ever given, a sob choked it at the end as she placed her cheek and nose against her dying child. she listened as he wheezed out his final breath, her crying came harsher then..

"goodbye my little pheonix, Ooyori..."
