He could see the struggle it was for her- her head rested so snugly in Lilin's lap and Saul knew how comfortable that was. But with what seemed like a herculean effort, Colibri raised herself once more and accepted the fur he'd offered her before scooping her first born up. Breaking the sack was the worst of it and in her haste the chocolate female dropped the fur. It didn't seem to matter however- where the warm fur had been, her rough tongue replaced it, clearing the airways and encouraging breathing. For a moment, the silence suspended the trio in limbo before the quiet, worried whine broke from Colibri's lips and at last there was a shuddering breath and a squeak from the first. A relieved breath blew from the male as Coli finished cleaning the pup up.
It was clear to see that Colibri was not done yet and as what he assumed another contraction cramped up, she wrapped her first born in a fur and offered it silently to him. Without hesitating, Saul scooped the newborn up and quickly began to check her, as a quick look revealed, airways and breathing. Once the mucus had been cleared, the breathing was shallow but he didn't think it was anything to worry about. He checked the little females eyes, clearing away gunk from her eyes and repeating the process on her ears. After checking that there were no obvious deformities, Saul wrapped her back up in the fur. He was about to place her back with her mother, but a glance at the chocolate female and it was clear she was very close to her second born. With a final push, the pup emerged.
Saul remained quiet as Coli scooped up the pup, breaking the sack as she'd done the first time. Green eyes widened just slightly when he caught sight of the dark black that made up the pup. He'd never seen Toby, but it was no secret that he had been pure black. His heart throbbed slightly as he thought he saw Coli hesitate before her maternal instincts kicked in and she began to clean the pup up as she had the first. He sighed softly, rubbing the first born softly as if to rally her into accepting a sibling into this world. The awkward twist of Coli as she presented her second born to Lilin looked uncomfortable but Saul didn't say anything. There was still one more to come and it was often to last born to cause problems. Still a little unsure what to do with the little female, he offered her to Lilin, hoping he was wrong and that he didn't need to jump into action to save her. Until the third was born and her placenta had come out, he was on high alert.
