Oh how manly of you Jacinto xD
Jac did not mind the company of the small rodent, having stroked its head it soothed his nerves some as he knelt beside the mother of his children. He was nervous, he was scared shitless. As Gemma pulled the creature from his arms, he almost cried out like a child getting removed of a toy. But he didn't, almost. Regaining his sanity, Jacinto wished that everything was right, how many would come out of this litter? How many would be born to him this time? He was jittery, but all he could do was wait.
He could hear Io speaking her foreign tongue, and Jaro translating for them. He was relieved to hear that Io was alright, but giving birth must not be that great. But it must've hurt Jaro, to have to leave his mate behind. Before leaving, Jac stood and gave him a manly hug, giving an apologetic glance as the grey man exited. His knees were shaky, watching the first born pups emerge into the world, but they were dead. He could tell, and he flashbacked to when Omni birthed a whole litter of dead pups. It was saddening, yes, letting out a bit of a choked exhale as Io pushed them aside. He feared that was it, and looked away, head in his hands. This was the worst feeling, his own new flesh and blood was still, lifeless.
But then Io began to speak.
His eyes went to her side, large circles of fire widening as he knelt back down, voice thick. H-He's beautiful...Io--He's so beautiful. One of three, his son--His beautiful, newborn son. Tears leapt to his eyes, falling down his face as quickly as they had appeared. He bent down, nose prodding ever so gently on the young one. His tongue lapped out, kissing the babe on the head. This was just so wonderful...Kuba...Kuba Lykoi-Berlin. He's so perfect Io, he's so perfect... He couldn't contain himself, nuzzling into her neck in congratulations.
