After her words, a flurry of action began. Warm bodies moved this way and that, miraculously and silently heeding her demands. There was something magical about the way that, momentarily, every single individual was willing to help, wanting to aid, working together to help a common goal. Everybody here wanted to see Ruri and her pups come through this as healthily and happily as may be - The thought warmed the cockles of her heart.

Once Heath had positioned himself and began massaging, the healer immediately noticed her patient relax. It was amazing, how much such a simple thing could achieve. For a moment the healer simply stared at the sweet little gestures between the two; They would make good parents, surely, with a love such as they seemed to share. However, the moment did not last long, for soon Ruri's contraction started again, and this time it was obvious to the Apothecary that her time was near. Aware that the soon-to-be mother must be in the immense pains of childbirth, Alaine felt sympathy swell for the pretty collie - But this was the process of nature, and it was all worth it in the end. Her cool ivory palms rested on the woman's curved stomach, feeling the small figures shifting therein with a look of utter concentration spread across her maw.

It was almost time. Grabbing the dry blankets nearest to her, the healer, settled them about where the woman lay, crooning at her reassuringly all the while. "Do you feel that, croimáthair? Your pups are coming. I need you to push, now, Ruri... Time to bring them into the world!" Hopefully, Ruri's body would instinctively know what to do. When the whelps came, Alaine would quickly wash them in the warm wet blankets, and check their airways and functioning. Then, her job would be done.
