Dragoncrest Cliffs got a soul so big, we were giants at the start of it

I’m posting just because I’m excited to welcome babies! The birth date is 4/14 and this is set 4/15. It’s not actually a birthing thread, oops! But it comes with a theme song. :)

Please let @Njord, @Stingray, @Swordfish and @Mercy post first, then anybody is welcome!

Her eyes cracked open slowly to see soft morning light spilling into the burrow. Meerkat raised her head, her entire body aching in a way that caused the memories to rush: hours of labor, followed by a textbook delivery, with maternal instincts and @Erzulie guiding the way.

She blinked the sleep from her eyes, heart leaping into her throat as she peered down at the three newborns nestled at her side. Gasping gently, she bent to kiss each fuzzy head, nosing them toward her teats when they began to whimper and squirm.

Good morning, babies, she said for the first time.
