The last few days had found Ehno sticking as close to the mansion as possible. As the days ticked by and the end of his sister’s pregnancy drew nearer, he found it harder to pull himself away from the manor. Since his return from Halifax a few days before, the male hadn’t strayed farther than the old white picket fence surrounding Haven Manor. He wanted to be around just in case he was needed for anything, though he knew Savina had all the help she could ever need. Her caring mate Kansas was never far from her side, and Naniko, despite her busy schedule, always seemed to find time to check up on the onyx-hued girl. The entire pack was there for its Lieutenant General, for whatever she may need. But it was a part of who Ehno was to want to be there and protect his family.
The Marino male had spent the majority of his day lingering around the mansion, attempting to read a short book in the main living room earlier in the day before abandoning the task in the afternoon to lurk around his workshop. He couldn’t bring himself to focus on any one project and instead went about straightening up the few workbenches. He knew his sister’s time was fast approaching and it made him antsy, though he couldn’t quite pinpoint why. He attributed it to excitement.
Ehno made himself step outside for a bit of fresh air to calm down. He wandered down to the old picket fence, leaning against it casually while amber eyes examined the horizon. He had nearly lost himself in the scenery when a call rang out from within the mansion. Ears perked automatically, his eyes widening and heart picking up a faster pace at the pained sound of it. The chocolate-hued male turned without another thought, hurrying back into the mansion. He navigated through the first floor hallways as fast as he could without running into something, arriving in no time at the room Savina had taken residence in.
His eyes quickly scanned the room, taking in the sight of those already gathered and realizing then that the time had finally come. The Italian boy stepped into the room and kept his distance from the others gathered around his sister, not wanting to get in anyone’s way. His tail began to swing back and forth in a nervous excitement, a smile to match it finding its way to his features. It was time to witness another miracle at work. Soon, there would be tiny Marino children entering the world. He knew in his heart that Savina would do fine.
