Your Breathe in My Lungs [Arlina Birth]

[attr="class","pltxt"] The time had come for the pups to arrive, the feeling the same as the last time she had pups. It always came upon her suddenly like a sneeze that all of the sudden needed to be expelled. So her body began to work to expel the pups out into the world. Alina wished that she could keep them safe and connected to her forever, but that was not how life worked. It was time for her babies to make it into this world and she was very excited to meet them. She wondered how many pups she would have or what they would look like. Her last litter had been an almost equal split of sons and daughters. This pregnancy felt different, whether it was because she was older, or that her belly was smaller this time. Even if she only had one child within her womb she would rejoice at their birth. She would be worried about their lives had she not felt them constantly squirming inside of her. Huffing she made her way deeper into the caverns, her body beginning to urge her to push. It wouldn't be long now. Her first litter had taken longer because it was her first time, but things were moving along much more quickly.

Finding the softest place she could within the caverns she laid down on her side the need to push too overwhelming to ignore. Groaning she hunched in on herself using all of her strength to push the little lives within her out. It wasn't long before the first pup was born and Alina took care to remove the sac and clean the pup thoroughly. Upon closer inspection she discovered a female, a daughter that looked a good deal like herself. Her heart squeezed when the little pup began to squirm and whine as she nudged it closer to suckle. Almost immediately after the urge to push returned and after a few more solid pushed the second pup was born. Alina gave it the same tender care that she had the first pup, cleaning and nuzzling it until it gave a loud cry and began to wiggle towards where the first pup suckled. She was another daughter, this one pale aside from a dappling of color over her eyes. Alina gave thanks for the two healthy daughters she had been given and was almost convinced that it was the end of her laboring when the urge to push returned. Groaning a little she returned to her pushing, this pup a little larger than the first making it difficult.

Alina began to pant a little harder, her body bearing down again and again to try and expel the pup. It made the mother wonder if this pup was a son with how much it already tested her. Still she continued to push desperate not to worry too much. After what seemed an eternity the pup finally emerged into the world and Alina cleaned the pup discovering a third daughter. Alina could not have been more proud of her tiny little children, each secured at her belly, suckling greedily at her. Arche would return soon and she could not wait to show him their little gifts. After all they would have to choose names for the sweet little darlings.
