aroura began to drag the rabbits back to the den, then returned to her mate a little out of breath.

" Hows it going? I brought the rabbits back" she said

"It's going.. thanks.." He drags a few elks back by himself. After he's done he starts walking bakc to her and sees her laying down, whining." Hey love.. you okay?"

" fine, just... it's ok... just over did it." she said tiredly. she lifted her head and nuzzled him, trying to reassure her mate.

"Love I know it's more than that... tell me please.." He licks her muzzle and lays by her." I just want you to be okay..." He rests his head on her neck and whimpers softly

" The pups are kicking a little bit. It hurts but i know it'll be worth it in the end." she whispered looking into his eyes

He whines and looks at her face silent." How long do we have to wait... for the pups..." He whispers in her ear gently, lovingly

" a few more weeks... then our pack will grow." she says, her eyes beggining to close.

"Sleep my love.. you'll wake in a few days.." He nuzzles closer to sleep but hears something in the distance and stands up walking to the noise." She's expected earlier than you think... the pups will come soon.." The wolf disappears and he frowns waiting there

Aroura sleeps for 5 days, she wakes up and tries not to groan. there were sharp pains coursing through her body and she knew.

" arreon? Get in here!" she yelped in pain.

Arreon hears her and instantly wakes up." Coming!!" He gets some herbs along the way and a leaf full of water." Hey.. it'll be okay.. no worries love.." He licks her muzzle and continues to reassure her
