Puppy #2 :: +421
After being in almost constant pain for so long, the white female was beginning to get used to it. Somehow with the sight of her first born nestling next to her and suckling was more than enough comfort to keep her going. He small, colorful body and occasional yelps brought a sense of joy to the young mother that she had never experienced before. She could bring down the whole world and experience a lifetime of pain for him. She could move mountains just to keep him safe and happy. He was hers and hers alone. Kiara bent down to nuzzle him softly, and he yelped in response. His small head rolled upward as she pulled away.
The noise and scent from her den momentarily disappeared, giving relief to the worried wolf. No distractions, no intrusions. That was what she needed. Kiara winced as another contraction rocked her body. Her heavy panting filled the den as minutes passed. Sounds reappeared at the entrance of her den, but Kiara had no time or energy to focus on what was happening outside of her den. She blocked out the outside world while she concentrated on bringing her second puppy into the world. After pushing for what seemed like an eternity, relief came as the second puppy was born.
This time, Kiara was a little more careful in retrieving her puppy. With the young male nestled close to her body, her movement was limited. After cutting the second puppy loose, she focused on cleaning its small body. Soon, it too began to breathe and wail. The second puppy was almost completely different from her first. It was a little female, although she too was as beautiful as her brother. She had a a stripe of red that ran from her muzzle to her tail. The tip of her tail was dark grey, and there were patches of grey on her forehead. The rest of her body was a bright white like her mother's coat except for a patch of red and grey on her chest. Kiara smiled as she gently dispatched the little female next to her brother. Almost immediately the two began to push at each other as they both vied for the same spot. Kiara picked up her son and moved him further down, chuckling a little at the sight. Once again, while she waited for the next puppy to arrive she licked and cleaned her daughter and son. High pitched yelps filled the den and brought her dim world to life.
