takes place in early morning ^^ all welcome!

She truly hadn't been expecting Jazper to come for her pregnancy. Having been alone from a mate for so long, she didn't expect the support, attention, or care that the dark Sole male had offered to her. It was a nice feeling - a warm feeling. She knew that Jazper was not her lover and likely never would be, but she could not have thought of any other analogy for the tall man that was asleep next to her under the sheets.

The pups inside her had been quiet and, to be frank, small. Although she was very clearly pregnant at this point, she wasn't nearly as large as Jace or Hotaru had been when they had had their pups. It only hindered her a little, but she did not waddle around - although she had been riding Jack gently more often, if only to ease her occasional stomach pains.

It was for this reason that she was caught off guard when her stomach contracted and squeezed, causing her great pain. She hadn't experienced the familiar sensations of pregnancy pains in this measure since her last pregnancy, with Robert, Erzulie, and Nathaniel.

It happened again, causing her to give out a small yelp in surprise. She was not confused anymore - she knew what was going on, from her past experiences.

"Jazper!" she whispered frantically, shaking the dark male. "Jazper, the pups are coming."

He had only arrived two nights before to find a heavily pregnant Skye pleased to see him. There was a sense of ease about staying with the pregnant female, his mind being put to rest as he focused on the task at hand. For the time he remained in Cercatori he would be a loyal friend and partner to the creme alphess. She needed someone to stand by her and Fenris forbid Jazper did not do his duty and take responsibility for the lives growing inside of her belly. He had spent most of the last day by her side, making sure she was well rested and taken care of, much to her annoyance. By the afternoon the leader seemed to realize that the Knight would not leave her be and resided with a small smile to his fatherly antics. He had been the same before his previous litters were due and he would never dream of allowing the mother of his pups to strain herself during the last stages of pregnancy.

After the long day of taking treating Skye to a day of relaxation and food, and preparing the house for the arrivals with the warm furs he had brought, and a fresh bucket of water, they had tucked themselves in for the night, his clothes laying on the floor in the corner. With one arm wrapped around Skye protectively and in a deep sleep the whispers and barley registered with the sleepy protector, until the she began to shake him. Golden eyes popped open and her previous words locked into his mind. Sitting up quickly he perked up into full alert. “The puppies. You’re sure?” he asked dumbly before shaking his head “Of course you’re sure.” Rising from the bed he stood by her side and gave a short urgent call to his brother announcing the birth in progress before his eyes returned to the Alphess, “Are you hot, do you want a wet cloth?” A large arm wrapped around her back, helping to prop her up against the pile of furs she had been using as a pillow, his eyes full of concern and excitement as he tried to control his frantic thoughts.

OOC stuff here....

The roof was an odd place for the Rhiannon male to be found, but here he was. He was watching the sky, the moon and the stars. Noah had been a ind of astrologer once, and the male wondered if he was still watching the stars. The only ones he knew were the cauldron and the staff of Rhiannon, two constellations his mother had taught him. The call stirred him from his thoughts, and he was certain he knew what for. He slipped back into the house on quiet feet, grabbing his pack. He didn't pause at Tameri's cairn today, but kept going down the path he was blazing between his house and the garden, which was in Skye's back yard.

He remembered the last time he'd been present for the leader's birthing. It was an honor to be trusted with such an important task. He wondered if he'd have to medicate Jaz like he had Bangle. A smirk crossed his lips, good natured and amused at the thought of putting a shot glass in his brother's hands.

He let himself in the back door. "I'm here Jaz, quit worrying so much." His voice was loud enough for the two to hear it as he made his way to the bedroom. He arrived in the doorway shortly thereafter, his mismatched eyes twinkling with good humour. He expected this to be easy, as easy as the first birthing he'd attended for Skye. "I'm rather surprised Mom didn't insist on coming too. She'll be heading back to New Dawn shortly, I think." He grinned crookedly at his worried looking brother, then turned his gaze on his leader. "How hard are the contractions? Or did my big brother call me here for gas?" He was teasing, in a good mood despite the many emergencies he'd tended over the last month.

She smiled as Jazper immediately began to ask questions, the first one being if she was sure - of course she was sure! He seemed to realize how silly it sounded, however, and he admitted it as well. Without pause, he asked his next question - did she need water? It reminded her of how he almost coddled her while staying over in her pack - at first she disliked it immensely, but then realized what it meant to her, and him.

Her thoughts were interrupted as another spasm erupted through her body. She had just relaxed again when she heard Taliesin's voice - thank goodness. Although she now trusted that Jazper was concerned for her and her pups' best interest, she was still relieved to have Taliesin nearby. He had helped immensely with her first birthing, and knew that he would be able to again.

She was about to respond to Taliesin's joke when another contraction started, more powerful and painful than before. She squeezed her hands tight against each other - too tight, as her claws accidentally unsheathed, and she began to bleed a bit from her palms. The contractions began to come closer together, as if they were waves on the ocean, coming together to create a tsunami.

A large shiver ran down from her spine to her legs - it was the first pup, she was sure of it. She felt herself squeeze and push almost involuntarily - another bout of pain wracked her body, and she gasped before attempting once more to push the pup out of her.

He didn’t have much time to fret before Taliesin came through the back door. At alert his face quickly turned to his brother and sent him a dirty look, "Who said I was worried." This wasn’t the first time that Jazper. Tal or Skye had experienced a birthing and more than likely would not be the last, but the Sole was in fact concerned about his friend’s health and the health of his pups to be. She was well rested, he had made sure of that, but was her body ready for this? His brother became to talk about their mother, and although Jaz cared about Deuce dearly he rolled his eyes about to grumble at him to help Skye already but his snow colored brother was already at work questioning.

Deciding to take to his own experience for help he quickly made his way over to the bucket of water, dipping in a cloth, ringing the extra water out and hurrying back to the Artisan leader’s side. "Here hun." He cooed reassuringly as he placed it on her forehead hesitantly hoping she wouldn’t snap at him. Normally a birth was helped along by another female but the cream female would have to deal with the Rhiannon brothers, lucky for her. It was clear she was in a lot of pain as she panted and a gasp rushed from her. Resting his other hand on her wrist he urged her on, "Come on Skye, you’re doing great." He couldn’t imagine how painful it must be to push little wolves out of yourself and was in no rush to find out, but he was happy to stand at her side with encouraging words as long as she allowed him.

He wouldn't have time for the herbs he'd used to help her birthing the last time. That was okay, he'd still be able to help in other ways. In between the hard contractions, he gently palpitated her belly, making sure the pups were in the right position for birthing. He'd toyed with the idea of tossing another playful jibe at his older brother, but decided to forgo the teasing in favor of offering the laboring leader a single poppy seed. "This will dull the immediate pain, but not interfere with feeling the need to push, or so I've been told."

He waited for a moment, then glanced at his brother. "You want to catch the puppies or hold Skye's hands?" He hadn't missed his brother calling her hun; he wasn't sure if there was a romantic attachment there, but if there was he was fine with that. That was why he asked which Jaz would rather do. And if the leader had a preference which male was on which end, he'd listen to her too.

He looked at Skye again, remembering how just months ago his own Sky had delivered three beautiful pups into the world. He decided then, as his leader labored to bring another brood into the world, that he would go up north to visit Sky, Cody, and Lena. He'd simply follow Deuce when she left to return home. Noah was right, he needed to see his offspring. Myrddin needed to come too.

feel free to play jaz or tal catching esmeralda ^^

Skye looked at Jazper in appreciation as he encouraged her and put a cool, calming wet cloth on her head - it helped tremendously, as small as it may seem. Another contraction ran through her body, clenching more tightly than before and causing her to feel something pushing through her body. Oblivious to the other canines now, and turning all her focus inward, Skye pushed out, just as she had done in her previous birth.

She let out a small yelp as a wave of pain rushed through her, causing her to push even harder - she then felt the pressure slowly die off, and felt a tiny body exit her own. Forcing her eyes open, she looked down. A pup - covered in wetness and red residue and its eyes still not yet open - but beautiful to Skye, one of the most beautiful things she had seen. Its body was cream-colored, just like its mother, with the top of its head and ears red, also resembling its mother. The pup's legs and top of tail, however, were a black, reflecting its father.

"So beautiful, my pup," she whispered with raw emotion - something that was very, very rare outside of such tender moments. However, she was not done with the birth, and she knew it - another contraction ran through her, causing her to shudder and begin to push the second pup out as well.

((Gonna be a short reply to keep it moving. ^^))

He watched as the leader labored, her muscular body shuddering with the strain of bringing a new life into the world. His gaze drifted to where the pup was exiting the birth canal, his hands rising to meet the tiny thing. A girl, her coloring reflecting both mother and father. Tal felt a moment of envy for his brother even as he quickly wrapped the puppy in a soft towel, cleaning it and drying it. His eyes, however, were on Skye, watching her belly contract with the minor contractions between puppies. He offered the little bundle out as the girl began to cry in her tiny little way.

He glanced at his older, stronger brother. "A girl."

The coal king had no problem putting aside his pride and his dominant nature in order to admit he was very, very happy that Taliesin was there and did not judge the leaders for their situation. He had been so worried all this time that no one would welcome the pups into the family but his brothers teasing and relaxed nature reassured him. He would have blamed Aro’s relaxed nature on genetics if Tal was not technically blood. Immediately after placing the cool cloth onto Skye’s forehead things began to escalate and the white male’s voice bringing him to attention. Catch the pups? Shaking his head no instantly he planted his feet firmly on the floor, he wasn’t going to watch from that angel no way no how. He was a fighter, a protector. He could handle bleeding wounds and the heat of battle but he was no healer, and birthings were an entirely different story.

A yelp turned his head back to the cream leader’s face, clearly in a lot of pain but as her eyes opened and announced that the first pup had arrived the knight quickly shifted ever so slightly towards Taliesin to watch him check over the pup and cleaned it, wrapping its small body in a towel. A girl. Large dark hands reached out to meet white as the father took the towel tenderly, bringing it to his chest. He would not have much time to look over his new daughter before the next would arrive but he took this moment. She looked strong, certainly healthy and breathing. Her coat was the beautiful cream of her mother’s coat but faded into dark limbs. “She’s gorgeous Skye.” He cooed in amazement, all but forgetting the laborious actions of the female he spoke to.

A girl. The words made her happy like almost nothing else had, since the last time she had birthed, and had heard the words for her own self. Skye smiled faintly as Jazper said that the pup was beautiful - and she was. She was so, so beautiful, so tiny, so precious. And yet she did not have more time to think before more convulsions ran through her body, causing more pain.

She had been right - it was a small litter, and that was proven as the last of the two pups slid out of her with among the last of the convulsions. More pain ran through her, almost like an 'aftershock' of the birth; but they dissipated slowly, deliberately, until only a faint throbbing pain within her remained.

She looked at the last of her pups, taking it within her own hands. As the little thing twisted about, she looked at it - him - in wonder. He was a dark gray, almost black like his father, with cream on the top of his head, and in other areas around his body. A boy and a girl. "My children," she said, pure love in her voice as she looked at them both.
