Bring forth new life

Hadley finally woke and hurried to her side. She made her way to the bed as he scrambled about, getting herbs and water. A whine left her lips as she felt it was time. Hadley was still standing there, watching. Her nervous mate didn’t need to see this. He would only be worried the whole time. Isa knew perfectly well that Hadley wouldn’t leave her side, not now at least. As the pain of labor worsened, she called him over, wanting to hold his hand as she went into labor for the first time.

It wasn’t long after Hadley reached her side, that Isa pushed, bringing forth a little girl. Isa was quick to chew off the umbilical chord and clean off the newborn pup before cradling her in her arms. Looking down at the tiny pup, Isa felt nothing but love for her. She was simply adorable, fur pattern similar to her mothers but the color was shades of brown like her father. Her eyes were closed but Isa knew their newborn daughter would have beautiful eyes as well.

Eyes meeting her mates, Isa smiled as she nuzzled into Hadley’s chest gently. She’s perfect Hadley. She still couldn’t believe that she had a daughter of her own blood. There was still more to come though and this was clear by yet another wave of pain. H..Hadley can you take her? Isa handed the small pup to her father as a second pup was ready to enter the world. Isa pushed a few times with no results but with one last push, the pup came into the world. She cleaned the pup just as she had done before and smiled up at Hadley, not realizing something was wrong just yet. It’s a boy. She was the happiest woman alive at that moment, until Isa noticed that the pup in her arms was much smaller than the girl. He also didn’t appear to be moving. Isa whined softly as she put her ear against the pup’s tiny form, attempting to find a heartbeat. When she didn’t find one, she licked the pups muzzle and body and tried anything she could to get the tiny pup to breath, but nothing seemed to work. The pup had clearly passed away inside her a while ago.

Tears flowed from her as she cradled her deceased pup, wondering what she had done wrong. Her head lifted as she let out a long, mournful howl for the little one in her arms. She still didn’t want to accept that he was dead though and she looked to Hadley, pleading with her eyes for him to do something, anything.
