Ghita had known her pups were due for only a few days now, but she knew that fact as well as she knew that there were three piercings in her ear and two in her lower lip. The huntress had stuck closer to the Manor than usual, haunting it like an unhappy ghost what with her limp and pronounced dislike for being cooped up. Most days she tried to make a circuit of the property surrounding the Manor at least once before returning to the large sanctuary, but she'd been behind on her activity for a day now.

Her stomach had grown exponentially, far bigger than her size with Sophia and Aro. It helped that Ghita had taken her Secui form for this pregnancy (Lupus felt too small and breakable compared to the Secui - it gave her added comfort), and her larger frame was constantly seen to whoever wandered around the house at this time. The morning itself started like any other morning of the late pregnancy - Ghita had woken up late, Jazper's impression on the bed barely there with only hints of his scent, and then wandered out the slightly ajar door in search of food. The rest of the day progressed in a similar manner - search for food, return to the bedroom to nap. Only when the nausea gripped her did the fae shuffle out the back door to relieve her upset stomach a few minutes away from the Manor.

It was dusk that turned all of that upside down. The sun had just disappeared from sight, as Ghita could see from where she lay on the porch, when a large spasm rocked her body and shot through her spine. Cringing in pain, the woman dug her ebony nails into the wood, waiting for the contraction to pass for the moment, before tentatively opening her turquoise eyes to the world once more, distrusting the lack of pain. Pulling herself to her shaky paws, Ghita moved inside the Manor to the all-too familiar living room, letting her body collapse onto the floor beneath her to ready herself for the second contraction.

She was more prepared for this pregnancy than she'd been with her first one, but that didn't mean that the fear had disappeared. Once she'd had the miscarriage, every litter thereafter was a source of worry that never died, save for the glimmer of hope that Sophia and Aro brought. She also knew the pain now, and knew what it would bring and so could prepare for it. Ghita could feel now the second wave of pain building, and opened her maw to hope for someone, anyone to bring her loved ones to her. Voice high with panic masked in excitement, one could detect the tremble in the pregnant fae's voice from hopefully a while away. "I... I think it's time....!"

OOC Sorry this wasn't up yesterday my internet and phone went down JUST as I copied my word document stuffs onto here -_- Phone line is still down. <3

Hanging around the manor bored Jazper but he had managed to keep his mind busy by hanging around in the library. Ghita had told him a few nights ago that she felt as though she was due soon. With that news Jazper automatically had spent the past days waiting anxiously for Ghita's call. At first he had tried, like the fool he was, to stay as physically close to his mate by hiding in the next room. However, Ghita had quickly scolded him and he now spent the hours reading, playing violin and piano, and transporting the odd weapon or nifty item from the military base.

On this particular day the Knight had spent the day concerned with Ghita's behavior. It was obvious that the pups would arrive any time now. He had silently listened to her constant movement in their bed upstairs, her steps every now and then that walked around the manor and back up to their room. When she left the building he had went upstairs to check only to see her walk to th forest and throw up what she had eaten that morning. The sickness worried the ebony male, was something going wrong with the pregnancy?

Now he sat silently reading, cuddled into a big comfy chair in corner of the the library. He was consumed by the green covered book in his hands. It was about the life cycle of humans. It was shocking for him to learn that they waited nine months for only one little child. He couldn't imagine waiting so long for only one child. It was less shocking to hear that some of these humans could carry two or more babies like wolves did. It was shortly after he learned this that his ears perked up and his heart began to race. Upon hearing the words from his mate he jumped to his feet, leaving the book thrown carelessly on the floor.

Hurrying around the corner to the living room, where he had herd the call, he looked to his mate laying on the floor with a sense of hopelessness. What if something went wrong? Even though they had been through this once before the concern clutched to his heart and brain. Rushing he grabbed a blanket from a near by couch and spread it out on the floor directly beside Ghita. “Here, lay on this.” His golden eyes looked at her with love and excitement hoping she would listen to him this time as the fur blanket would make her more comfortable and keep the pups from landing on a cold floor. With a smile he lifted his own muzzle into the air and let out a call to family and friends. He would need the assistance of some females to keep his mate calm. Lowering his head he hesitantly placed a hand on Ghita's side his imagination began to wander. How many? Boys or girls? Would any not survive? “I'm right here love.” He reassured in a gentle and clam voice, very misleading to his own emotions.

Aro knew his mom was about to give birth any day and figured after her birthing would be the best time to his special trip he'd been planning in his head. He wanted to get to know the lands and packs outside of this place, and perhaps discover himself. He'd found an old backpack around the manor and was utilizing it as a good handy thing to carry his favorite two books in; the dictionary and astronomy book. He also thought about taking some sort of pad or journal. It was during this time of thought he heard his mother's call. His ears perked with extreme intent as he looked out his bedroom door. His eyes looked back to his bed, and then placed the back pack beneath it sliding it far back. He didn't want to tell them yet, he wasn't sure how they would react knowing their son wanted to leave the pack land to explore, mainly it was his mom he was concerned with when it came to the reaction of what he was planning. It was when he heard his father's call that he finally realized it was as he heard. It was time for his mother to deliver the newest members of the family. Really he wasn't sure about having siblings....well more.

Taking in a deep breath he walked out of the bedroom shutting the door. He really wasn't sure what to expect when he went down the stairs to the living room. Would the pups just be there? Would his mother's stomach be down again? He knew the pups came from his mom, and he figured the pups were made from the union of both his mom and dad, but the finer details were lost to him. Still it was something he wasn't sure he wanted to be there for, but he knew he should be there. Coming into the living room he saw his mother and father side by side. It seemed his dad was comforting her. He was almost scared seeing her in pain and his eyes widened as it all sunk in. He began to panic, "Oh my world! Is--is mom okay!? Is...is she..." he didn't know what to say as he rushed to her side seeing her looking nearly buckled to him. He had never seen her in pain, she had always hid it from him and his sister. Seeing her like this caused fear and worry to go through him.

sorry for the delay guys <3 300+

Savina had spent most of the day patrolling the borders, making sure the pack was safe and secure. Usually Jazper was the one who took that job on his main duty, but she knew that he was anxious about the upcoming arrival of his second litter and she wanted to make sure he was able to stay close to the Manor and Ghita. Plus, ever since Kansas' and her unpleasant (that was a mild term for it) run in with the Inferni member, the Commander had been on high alert. It wasn't her fault, what had happened, the other woman had instigated everything. However, with such unscrupulous characters among the clan's ranks, she didn't trust them to not try and pull something on her pack in retaliation. With her sister so close to her time, she wasn't going to let any such disturbances happen to upset her.

Thankfully the day had been calm and uneventful aside from the arrival of a stranger who had been granted a home here just that very afternoon. Now the sable wolfess was making her way back towards the mansion. She was only a few yards away from the large house when Jazper's howl rang through the air and the woman didn't have to make any guesses as to what the cause of the call was. Savi was off like a shot to cover the remaining distance and within a minute she had burst into the house and spotted her sister, Jazper, and her nephew in the main sitting area.

The Italian fey joined the other members of her family, hearing the worried words coming from Aro's mouth. "Don't worry Aro, your mom is going to be fine. It's all just a part of the process," she reassured, nosing him gently. Her attention then focused upon her sister. "Are you doing alright? I'm sure Cambria will be here in a moment." Then, as if on cue, she heard a door open and rushing footsteps come out into the living area. Her emerald eyes alighted upon her daughter, her arms full of her medical supplies and towels. She set all of her things down near Ghita, ready to help as soon as she was needed. Cambi had done a wonderful job helping her own little siblings into the world, and she had no doubt she would do splendidly with these cousins as well.

It didn't take very long after her call for the fae to hear frantic paws scurrying from just around the corner. Her suspicions coming to light, the large ebony frame of her mate instantly calmed Ghita down, knowing that at least Jazper would help her to keep a more level head. The pair had been through one successful birth already - and Ghita hoped that the pattern would be repeated. Moving herself gingerly and delicately onto the blanket, the warmth instantly helped the laboring woman, who let her turquoise gaze meet the corresponding yellow one with a level of cautious excitement. Letting out a shaky sigh as Jazper summoned friends and family alike, she let her tongue rasp gently over Jazper's hand before nodding, telling her mate all she needed to without words. Would the birthing be difficult? Probably, just like the others. But would it be worth it? That was a question not even worth asking.

Through the breathing she tried to regulate and the slightly panicked movements her brute of a mate were making, Ghita didn't notice the tuxedoed frame of her son enter the room until he cried out. Turquoise orbs flicked up to meet her son's gaze and she gave him her best attempt at a reassuring smile, all the while praying that he wouldn't have to see the miracle of life in such a scarring way. “Don't you fret, Signore Aro. It's not too bad." Putting on a brave face for her son brought on a whole different level of difficulty for the fae, but the headstrong girl was more than up for the challenge. Offering a nuzzle in Aro's general direction, she gave him a wink before preparing for the oncoming contraction. “D'you think you're ready to meet your siblings?

Letting the contraction rock her small frame for the time being, her ebony front claws sought out some piece of solid wood - hopefully the floor beneath her - to steady and ground her away from the pain. It was now more than ever that she wished for something to clamp onto, to make sure that her expression and tension in her body were the only things that would give away any sort of pain to Aro. Around the more senior members of her family, Ghita's pride was the only thing keeping her from expressing pain normally, but when it came to birthing, all cards were out on the table. Savina had gone through two litters before, she would surely know how it felt. And the males... they surely would be able to tell from the behavior.

Thanking the heavens over and over again for her cool-minded sister, the ebony fae filled in words to Aro where the mother could not at the moment, feeling the contractions fade only for a moment, as the first pup was ready to come out. It was an odd sensation, knowing when the pups were ready as sure as one knew their location, but Ghita could feel them stirring, hoping to any Gods that anyone believed in that her pups would be delivered safely. Nodding to Savina, her panting became more pronounced as time went on, her voice breaking slightly as she informed the room as to her state. “I think... the first one's ready, Savi."

Her chocolate coloured niece arrived just on cue, causing another stream of thankfulness to run through the Marino fae's already occupied mind. “"Grazie al cielo, Cambi. Il primo sta arrivando adesso." Taking a shaky breath in once more, the fae let it out in a panicky hissing noise, all the while pushing as hard as she could, knowing that every second counted. An eternity stretched by, or could it have been a minute, before the small, trembling, bloody frame of the first pup emerged from Ghita, slimy and bloody in all of it's newborn glory. It was a boy, that was for sure, but as for any other details, she left that to the wolf who caught her pup, watching it through a haze of relief and pain. Her load was lighter, that was for sure, but there was only a matter of time before the remaining pups would make their entrance to this world.

I’m soooo sorry about that mishap. D: Pixie’s keeping her distance.

You normally wouldn’t find Pixie resting. She was an up-and-about sort of person who didn’t like to be sitting around while excitement went on. But her back was still sore from the tattoo she had gotten two days ago, and after coming back from hunting, she had found Magic laying the frost-covered grass in front of the manor. Being a horse, and a stallion at that, Magic was constantly standing, even to rest. But it seemed to be that kind of day, for both him and Pixie, and now the blue-gray wolf was resting against him with her cloak draped over her, serving its original purpose as a blanket. Her guitar rested in her lap, and her hat that she normally wore on sunny days was covering her eyes.

She was sleeping soundly when Ghita had her first contraction on the porch; if her eyes were open, Pixie would have clearly seen the older fae’s muscles spasm. Magic certainly did; never fully asleep, he raised his head in alarm as the heavily pregnant female cried out. Pixie felt him move, but didn’t stir, instead groaning and rolling over so that her back was facing the manor.

It wasn’t until Ghita had gone into the living room and several others had joined her that Magic finally stood up, causing Pixie’s head to hit the ground hard and wake her up. “Ouch,” she growled, reluctantly sitting up and rubbing the sore spot on her head. “That hurt like a mother…” She drifted off, not finished her curse as she heard the commotion inside the manor. Still irritable, but curious to see what was going on, she put her guitar, cloak, and hat next to the fence surrounding the manmade structure and walked towards the front door.

Quietly she slipped inside, her bare feet barely making any noise as she slowly walked down the hall towards the living room, where everyone seemed to be. She heard a voice speak in Italian, a language she did not know, but made her even more curious as to what was going on. Surprise overcame her when she walked through the door to find several wolves, including Savina, crowded around Ghita, who was in the process of giving birth to slimy bundle of fluid and guts. Pixie had never actually seen her own mother give birth to all those litters; Wildflower had only let Pixie’s older sisters anywhere near her when she was in labor. So the sight of a pup coming out of…that place…was a little startling for the young woman to see. But she quickly got over the initial shock and stood in awe at what she was witnessing.

When the newborn boy had completely entered the world, she herself entered the room and stood behind the others, whom she had a feeling were part of Ghita’s family, and therefore she shouldn’t intrude. Nevertheless, she couldn’t resist saying brightly, “Congratulations,” before sitting down on one of the couches and waiting to see if more pups would be arriving.
