Teo + Gemma in labor - Any Medics = Derpa. Big Grin Souls Math!

Word Count → 000


This wasn't good. Matteo knew about as much about child birth as he did about polar bears; almost nothing. At least her response to his being there wasn't terrible. He could act naturally as things progressed without worrying about her hating on him at every turn. To her answer, earned a rather stupid Oh. as response as he slacked his shoulders a bit and became a touch less defensive... if shocked.

Time to have kids. Oh dear.

He'd expected Demi to be around whenever the day came that he'd have children being delivered. The medic was dead though, and the other medically inclined wolves in his pack were far away, back in their cavernous home. With Gemma in so much pain and having had such bad luck with previous litters, it was basically all up to him to deliver the pups safely.

Except he had no idea what he was doing. He knew... the very basics; blanket to keep them clean and warm, the woman had to have her legs spread and she had to be told to push... but... but when? When did she push? He didn't know how to handle this. But... the kids...

As if straight out of a cheesy sitcom, he stoned up, brushing some sand out of her hair carefully as he did to distract him. Just... Just help me out here, okay? Tell me what to do. He hated to admit that he was as lost as a kid about this but Gemma had experience over him. Maybe she'd be able to coach him through it when she wasn't distracted by the pain. You.. You gotta keep breathing though, okay? In... out...

He took little breaths like he'd seen back home once, when his aunt had given birth. A sort of... hee-hee-hoo rythyme if he remembered correctly. He mimiced it a moment so she'd catch on, then dared a glance to the source of all his emotional stress. In... and out... He murmured, trying to get his act together. This was going to be a hell of a long day.
