Tersias was sat alone in the den, curled up in a ball. She was feeling decidedly ill. Her stomach had been aching all day, and her little face was pale and drawn. She was exhausted. "Only two more weeks, Ters babe," she told herself. "Two more weeks and it'll all be worth it."

Mira arrived at Seirei and Tersias' Den. She knocked lightly on the door with her tail, but grew worried when nobody answered. She knew someone was home. Concerned, Mira opened the door to see Tersias curled into a tiny ball, whimpering every now and then. Hurriedly, Mira dashed over to her friend's side. "Tersias, what's the matter?" she asked.

Putting on a brave face, she half smiled, sighing a little and shaking her head "I'm just tired Mira, so so tired" she said gently, "And my poor stomach is suffering from the weight"

Mira sensed that something wasn't right. "Are you sure?" she asked. "Something's telling me that you're not telling me all of it, whether you know it or not." She paused for a moment. "Do you want me to get Seirei?"

Seirei had been sleeping close to Tersias for a couple of days now. He had noticed that she had been growing ill so he had not left her side. However he was shattered, what with fetching things for her and staying awake, and had finally dozed off next to her. His ears twitched in his sleep as he subconsciously heard voices around him but he did not stir.

"It's just so sore" she said softly. "They're so heavy, and my poor stomach can't take it much longer, it hurts" Her big dark eyes were wide, innocent and scared.

"Wait there one moment," said Mira, and dashed over to where Seirei was sleeping in the other room. "Seirei, wake up!" she half-shouted. "Tersias needs you."

She rolled onto her side, groaning as the pain throbbed. "God's sake, lose a lil weight will you, you stupid kids!" she growled, more to herself than to the cubs/kits.

Kiba teleported to Seirei's from door, wanting to see how they were doing when He heard shouts from the other side of the door. He quickly pushed the wooden door aside, revealing the large room that Mira and Seirei were in. "What wrong? I heard shouting." Kiba asked concerned about what was going on.

Seirei stirred after hearing Mira's shout. His head throbbed with a headache from lack of sleep, he had only managed to catch 3 hours. As soon as he opened his eyes he saw Mira's worried face bent over his. At once he realised something must be happening to Tersias, for he leapt up off his bed and went to her side. "Is it time?"

"I believe so," said Mira. "I-" she got cut off by Kiba. "Nothing's wrong, except we think Tersias might be..." she trailed off. It was obvious what Tersias might be, due to the state she was in: pregnant and in pain.

She pulled herself to her feet, it was stupid being so sore, shed be fine after a little walk. But she was dizzy and unsteady, liable to fall at any moment.

"Shall we take this to my little clinic, or would you prefer to stay here?" He asked them, already walking towards the back rooms.

"I think here would be better," said Mira, going back to the room where Tersias was. To her shock, Tersias was on her feet. "God, Tersias! Lay back down!" She rushed over, urging the vixen to get back on the floor. "I think you're in labour," she explained. "You're too early, but given the circumstances, I'm not terribly surprised."

Seirei couldn't help feel excited when he realised the time had come at last, though a little earlier than expected. He put lots of cushions behind Tersias so that she would be comfortable. As he finished this little task, he heard Kiba in the distance. "I think a home birth would be more preferable, Kiba. But you could heat some water up for me in a bowl, and fetch some towels."

"No" she muttered, shaking her head. Shaking all over, in fact. She was terrified "No, it can't be yet, it's only been three weeks, no no no no no" Tears pooled in her dark eyes "This isnt happening, its too soon"

Kiba was already grabbing the towels, shouting back, "Already on it. The water will be on the way." He tossed them a few towels and grabbed a metal bowl, hurring to put some water in and heating it with his fire powers while walking quickly back to the room.

"Sweetheart, I'm afraid it is happening, I know the signs," she said, soothing the vixen. "Now please, lay down. It'll be easier." Mira's tail stroked the white-and-blue fur as her paws gently pulled Tersias to the floor.
