Number two coming up! ^^

Wc: 579

As per every other birthing Ghita had gone through, her family (and extended family which stretched to cover Anu, Kansas, Oak, and Alder) had smelt the pain and commotion and hurried forward, each bringing gifts of support or medicine or appreciation for the new lives Ghita was ready to relinquish to the world. The flurry around the fae mixed with the pain in her own body was too much to handle, and so she ceased to focus on the voices and hooplah and remain within herself, the Italian fae knowing all too well that time was pressing in - and if the birthing took too long, it could put both the children and the mother at risk.

Her nose picked up on Pixie's presence, and although she hadn't met the fae before Ghita knew by her scent she was a Crimson Dreamer, and so held onto the rational side of her mind that told Ghita to let her newborn spring into the hands of her family, despite wanting to huddle it close to her and shut out the rest of the world. She had brought him here, and chancing a quick glance at her mate and niece told her that it was healthy. Another big, healthy pup for Jazper, Aro and Sophia - but the birthing wasn't over yet. “"A girl? Or boy?" She asked, keeping the panic from the pain away from her tone, turquoise eyes all for her new baby.

Sensing Kansas, Anu, Oak and Alder entering the room in a moment of relative calm for her, but the first most stressful moments of her new baby's life, Ghita offered a quick smile towards the younger of the companions, flicking her ears towards the older ones in gratitude. Quickly returning to her pup, his colouring was beginning to appear after the blood and fluid had been wiped away, and it didn't obviously belong to either parent - more of a collaboration of both. The brown was her's, and the white was Jazper's, a perfect combination of the two-

Her thinking was cut short by the next spasm that racked her body. Feeling the reassuring touch from her sister brought the fae strength - even the headstrong woman who no one could tell what to do sometimes needed a little boost of encouragement. Savina had brought six children into this world, and Ghita three so far, with more to come. The Marino mothers were united in that moment, before the pushing began. The pain and strain did nothing to override her son's statement, though, but a part of her was thankful that her pup was leaving, to shield his innocent eyes from the womanly wonder, but another part of the fae wanted her entire family beside her, perhaps selfishly, but all the same. She couldn't be distracted now - only a few more seconds before the next child exploded into the room.

The labor lasted longer this time than it had for her other pup, but through the relative silence despite her tension, whimpers of pain, and grunts, her second-born finally made it into the world. Covered in the same awful and yet protective fluid the older sibling had been, Ghita trusted the life of the puppy to Cambria once more, flicking her eyes up to her expectant mate. Giving him a slightly warped smile, unsure of whether to feel ecstatic or dread, her voice spoke quietly for him and the closer ones to hear.“"One more, Jazz. We're not done yet."
