Despite the slight uncertainty with which Lilin seemed to look at her niece, within moments of Saul offering her over his mate had settled the first born into her arms. And he was then given the second born, the dark female to look at. Repeating the process was easier the second time, when he sort of knew what he was looking for. Checking ears, eyes, nose and mouth only took a few moments before he'd felt along the little girls body, trying to find any deformities in the physique. He could find none and with a grin sent towards Coli, he silently let her know that her second born was healthy. It was then that he spotted the glazed, far-off look in the females eyes, the point where exhaustion didn't quite describe what she was going through. She just had one more to go and he hoped it came soon.
As if on cue, he saw the pain flash across her face as more contractions sought to expel the third and hopefully final life from her body.Coli's exhaustion made it difficult and the last push seemed to take forever to get there. The pup emerged in what appeared to be a massive torrent of fluid, the scent of blood overpowering. Saul had never been present at a birth before and he wasn't sure if it was normal. As before, Coli began to clean the pup, revealing a pale form beneath. He smiled softly, relief causing a huff to escape him when the little pup began to squeak. The little pup settled against her mothers chest and Coli lay back, panting it seemed. Was that it? Was it over? He watched as just moments later the afterbirth was expelled.
Green eyes were critical as he looked at her, barely able to breath. Cinnamon backed ears plastered against his head when her words came- she was unable to catch her breath and her words came out in tired stutters. She was cold- that wasn't right. Without thinking, Saul handed over the dark pup to his mate and remove the third pup from her mothers breast. The tree would be a handful for Lilin, but gut instinct told him something wasn't right. His nose told him he'd been right as just seconds later, the tangy scent of blood increased and he looked down to spot the bleeding between Colibri's legs.
Coli, don't panic. Just stay awake for me- I need to stop the bleeding. He spoke calmly despite the thumping of his heart. Moving quickly, he gathered up the remaining clean furs, folding them into a thick wad of absorbent skin. Keeping the females legs open, he pressed the wad against the apex of her thighs, applying as much pressure as he dared without causing more harm. Green eyes watched her stomach and abdomen, which he could see were still clenching. Was her uterus still contracting? His brows mashed together as he tentatively reached out, the heel of his hand pressed into her abdomen, moving in a soothing circular motion. Pushing hard enough down so that the movement would massage her uterus, he hoped he would be able to stop the contractions- she had nothing left to give. Keeping one hand pressed firmly against the wad of furs, he dared not remove them for fear that the sight would be something truly terrifying.
