Tealver panted heavily as she began to feel pangs within her abdomen, announcing her coming to labor. She pushed into the pushes and lie down, not waiting for Ed to come along and have his say in anything.
Almost immediately the first cub crowned and she pushed it out, picking it up and licking its face until it squealed. When it had she placed it by her side then repeated the process with the second and third cubs a bit later.
"Three beautiful girls..." she said softly as she licked the suckling cubs. Her gaze was cast around the field as she spotted Ed and gave him a warming smile. Yet she was rather protective over the cubs, even from their father. After loosing Melody a while back she couldn't help but be a bit over protective.... Her fears were running ramped through her mind and to her... she felt she had the right.
It was dry here and the grasses were only beginning to annoy her, the bush she was lying in was by far the worst however... Who liked sticks poking you in the back and dry grasses getting into the most sensitive places? She could easily note the problems with the dry season, not to mention the problem with birthing in the dry season! There would be little time to hunt and kill to provide good milk for the cubs... Then there was the lack of water, she would grow thirsty and dehydrated...
'But at least Ed will not be coughing up a storm...' she thought and smiled softly at the thought.
