((Lil rp just for the birth, cubs feel free to post if you like ^_^!))
She had known for several days that it wouldn't be long before the pains came and she would once again bear Moses' cubs. It wasn't that much of a surprise then when she was woken a little before dawn with that painful ache in her sides. She let out a heavy breath and got to her paws moving away from Moses she padded towards the very back of their den. It was cool here and only a slight glint of light lit the darkness.
Her dark body melded with the background and her eyes closed as she waiterd for the pains to increase. She felt so much more relaxed this time round even though she knew that she was carrying more cubs. Her stomach had grown expenentially this time and for the last few weeks she had done nothing but lay around, feeling tired and sick. It was hard work being so pregnant, still, it would be over soon and she could once again be a mother.
A low grumble rolled over her lips as the pains became more obvious, the aches closed in on her body. She did not cry out though, she lay quietly knowing they would come in time she just had to be paitent.
Smiling a little she lifted her head as the first glimmer of the sun peered through the dark canopy and kissed the mouth of the den. It highlighted ehr palw mate and oldre children. Perhaps they would waken to siblings when they roused them selves.

As quiet as she had been trying to be Afritti'dogo's labour was still painful and it wasn't long before her voice called out through the den. Her claws flashed from between her velveteen paws and raked the ground.
With a rather loud growl the lioness bore down and braught a son in to the world.
She tilted her head softly admireing her first son, she groomed him roughly forcing the life in to his lungs, he reminded her so much of Moses, except for the strange mark on his cheek, even int he half light she could see his markings clearly. Pushing the child to her side she settled for another moment and waited for the pressure to start once again.

Releasing a long breath the salmon streked femme curled her toes beneath her body as she let the pains rake her body once again. Letting a gruff growl roll off of her tongue she squeezed her eyes shut tightly, for a long moment she was blind but then, there came releif.
A second son. She admired him happily, he was so much like herself, dark, with pale markings, well all but those beautiful eye patches. She smiled grooming him roughly cleaning away the dampness from his fur before placing him beside his brother.
She knew it was tradition for the eldest cub to be the heir, still, she pondered how these two boys would get along, she had heard of males being competetive between one another.
That was a thought for another time though, children did not like to wait to come in to the world.

The next child did not want to wait it seemed and barely had she placed her second son beside the first. when the pains started, strong as ever.
She took it in her stride, bearing down and pushing their next child in to the world.
A daughter, and what a shocking daughter she was. Afritti couldn't help but laugh gently at the child, though it was not a cruel laugh, it was a pleased one. She was glad to see herself in this child. Salmon, that bright colour that though she had inherited it from her father, she loved.
She groomed the child clean admireing the marking that the cub had inherited from her proud father.
It was a little surprise as she lay grooming the third cub that a pain ocne again shot through her body. Another to come? She took a tired breath and nudged the little cub to her side, readying herself for what she hoped was their final child.

Closing her violet eyes the salmon streaked mothers claws gripped the ground, her eyes opened as she let a growl peirce her lips and the final child rolled soggily in to the world.
Unlike her siblings this cub had apparantly taken a little from them both and a little from some other source, perhaps her own grand mother, she had heard of these things happening. She smiled, a final daughter, nudging the cub to her side she gazed over her new children for a long, proud moment. Sighing heavily she finally let her head rest, her new brood happily feeding at her side.
"Moses." She called quietly, weakly, waiting for her mate to join her now that she was ready for him. "Moses come and see your children." She whispers sleepily.((feel free to post cubs, older sibs & moses ^_^!))

The male had felt the tense aura in the air around their den, the scent of blood and life mingled together...and unconciously he knew it was time...
He however made no move to approach the den till his name was beckoned and he padded forward, blood crimson eyes wandering around the mouth of the den before he stepped inside and noticed the four new bundles curled up next to his mate.
Moses was not one for emotion.
Neither was he one to show said emotion, but this was an exception and he moved closer to his new offspring with an extremely loud purr resonating from him.
"Well done my Queen." He started, a small, flickering smile on his features. "They're beautiful."
He looked over the bodies of each of his new children, making sure each one of them was alright and finding his first born son...even though he didn't know that yet.
Licking over his white form and smiling as the small cub gave a suprised squeak.

((*Scratches ear* Three days belated... but here we go. Sorry. XD; ))
The cold and the loud squeak of her eldest brother was enough to shake the youngest of the litter into cognative motion. She wasn't yet old enough to think anything but instinctive thoughts saved for moments of hunger and of fear, but someone else had to tell that to her.
For the moment her body's motions kicked in the little female was crawling over her other siblings for the best place to drink from, not caring at all if she stepped on the head of one or knocked another aside. It was her stomach that she was worried about and it was empty.
Tiny noises escaped from her mouth, though none of them were squeals or mewls. They were more like growls and grunts than anything so cute and softly cub-like. Noises made to let others know they could leave her in relative peace, or find it.
Or at least that was what they would mean in the future. In this moment, the perfect moment of childbirth and beauty, it was merely something cute for her stoic parents to be inwardly amused at.
Finally, after all the crawling that seemed to last a lifetime to a very newly born cub, she reached what she was looking for and clamped her little mouth down sharply. The small body wriggled down further to the ground, legs kicked out as she suckled hungrily at whatever it was in her mouth, filling her belly and warming the body that had grown so cold from being brought into a cool cave so abruptly.

Afritti looked up at her pale mate, her deep, violet eyes watching the large male whom had joined her. The four wriggling bodies at her side made her relax. It was strange how those tiny sharp teeth could make a good, relaxing feeling flow through the body. She had never thought about it with her first litter so paniked was she about the whole thing. This time though she knew more or less what she was doing.
Lifting her head she groomed her mates pale cheek, kissing his face happily. "The first of this pride my lord." She whispers, her violet gaze tired though full of happyness. To gain praise from Moses was enough for her, to finally truely relax her head touching the ground and her large almand shaped orbs closeing to the world.
The darkest son wriggled protestingly at his siblings trying to find a space at the milk bar. Though his tiny eyes were closed his small furry body thrashed around a little manically until he found his spot and settled happily. In his cubbish mind this was the most important thing to do, though perhaps with age things would change, right now he was probably the most satisfied being in the world, warm, comfortable and filling up with that sweetest of milks.

Moses was so very proud of his mate, his Queen and he looked over their new cubs with such pride, although with everything he showed upon his face it was muted but it still was there.
He then moved curl around his mate, laying behind her as he let her rest while his crimson eyes just watched over his newest offspring with an emotionless, yet somehow curious look.
They were beautiful, interesting little creatures...he'd never truely say it, he wasn't one to express his feelings, but he loved his children and his mate and he'd protect them with his life.
No matter what.
