 It had been nearly over a week now, Adolfo had things puppy-proofed in the willow, though he had thought about maybe moving towards a cave. He might run that by Fie tonight, after all the pups were almost here and well Fie was right, her belly had grown in the last few days.
White stripped front legs halted at the low hanging branches, Adolfo had spoken to Twist, told her about the pups and was regretting doing so, but felt he had an obligation to Alas to give her some time with her new pack. Besides that lynx was a tick if he ever saw one.
Having moved around Adolfo had also moved along the outskirts of the new neighbors packlands smelling scents that made him itch. He wasn't very pleased with the newer pack, and had made a decision to strengthen the shadows around the base of trees. No one else would ever be able to feel the density change but him, that was something that the shaman worked with.
Pushing his snout into the willow Adolfo gave a waver of his tail and stepped up to lick Fie's muzzle. The bear skin was still nicely laid out and the shadow master circled around to where he would be beside her, laying down as a comfort if nothing else.

Fie paced to and fro restlessly, she felt a pang of pain here and there but she held down the pain embracing it without so much as a whine. Her snowy white paws blurred across the dark ground as she moved. Tonight she wore no fur pelt, her black fur shone in the darkness with the natural oils from her usual garb. She looked up as Adolfo entered and returned the lick. Her nose twitched as she scented Twist.
Fie joined him as he lay down and rested her head on his paws nuzzling his neck. "Soon...I can feel them stirring...pushing, they long to feel the night." Her voice was a soft moan of pent of pain.

Soon, the pups were gonna be born then tonight. Adolfo's ears perked forward and he gently caressed the sleek black cheek with his tongue.
"Do you want to have them here? Or do you wish to have them in a close cave?" it was her option and he would do anything to meet her desires. What could he say? Adolfo had always seemed to get along with females better then males, save for his brother, and fathers seemed to think him a thief.
The shadows rustled the branches of the willow, just to give the expecting parents a notice that they were ready for anything.

"Here, this is their home, let them know it." She breathed out with a soft sigh of pain, it was started and now it could not be stopped. Fie lay on her side and squirmed a bit from the mix of pain and trying to make herself comfortable. She felt a sudden emotion grip her, fear, slowly it subsided and she relaxed.
Fie smiled as she rested her head against her bundled up lynx pelt and gazed at Adolfo. "The shadows will welcome them."
She felt a deep inner peace and then she bared her teeth and withstood the pain as a large black and white male made it's way into the world.

As Fie made her decission, it looked like not a moment too soon, since after she questioned the already waiting shadows. Adolfo just smiled and nuzzled Fiereza's cheek and licking her maw.
"The shadows will accept them, no questions asked," he assured her, watching and then moving to help move the pup from the birthing canal. Cutting the embilical cord with his teeth carefully, just as the shadows instructed. How many litters have they seen come into this world? More then any of the oldest wolves of Telk.
Big ebony nose moved the good sized male pup up towards his mother's stomach to suckle.
"The first pup is a boy," Adolfo told Fie as he stayed to one side ready to repeat the process as more came into the world, the world of darkness.

As Adolfo moved the large male pup closer she gazed down at it, she arched her neck and pulled a pelt from the pile of smaller ones she had. She gazed at a few of them before draping the suckling pup in a raccoon pelt. A soft smile graced her muzzle.
"What a sly looking little thing." She murmured softly before giving a gasp as she felt the second pups birth, a mud colored male.
Fie writhed a bit now the pressure had ceased a bit and she found herself suddenly worried, she knew there was more to come.

Adolfo watched as Fie made her mind up on the type of pelt to place upon their first son. After a minute it looked like the raccoon hide was the winner, and the shaman smiled at the words spoken for the new born.
The male smiled at the comment, with all the ribbed strips upon the black and white pup's skin, he did look like a bandit to be.
"Let's hope he doesn't cause too much trouble then," Adolfo laughed.
At the birth of the second pup was pushed out and again the process as before with the cleaning was what Adolfo followed through with. So far two boys, looked like he wasn't out numbered any more in the night, with Vianna being counted still.
"A boy as well," Adolfo proclaimed and then went to stand in wait for the next pup. There were more in Fiereza's womb, that was for certain, but something was going wrong.
Shadows swept in and Adolfo looked up to where Fie's head was resting on her bundled up lynx's pelt. "Are you still having contractions?" Maybe her body was taking a break. It could happen.

Fie frowned down worried she looked up at Adolfo's question. "No they stopped, is that bad?" She twitched a bit her legs restless. She tried to remain calm at the sudden stillness and moved to pick a pelt for her second son.
With a smile she draped a badgers pelt over his form, the suckling pups were completely covered by the furs. "My little mud badger..." She smiled and gazed up at Adolfo trying to hide her fears.
"It'll be okay..."
But the moon was hung low in the sky, the hours passed, and still no other pups had emerged. The two boys had drunk their fill and slumbered at peace, unaware of the turmoil their mother felt.

There was more, he could smell them, but was it time to worry yet? "I don't think so, you're body needs to rest as it goes," he didn't want to mention that if they didn't start back up soon though, it wouldn't be good for the pups still in side or even her.
As Fie looked for a pelt for the second son, Adolfo placed a paw gently upon Fie's side, and began to massage the area, trying to reinduce the contractions and even help with some pushing. He looked up and saw the boys slumbering, the night was coming to an end, though there were still a couple hours of it, but there was need and a big urgancy in his heart that made him look at Fie.
"Try pushing the moment you fell me put pressure on this point," he gently pawed the pressure point on her side and waited for her response. This was going to be a team effort, as it had been on the night the pups were concieved.

Fie looked at Adolfo worried her eyes flashed fear for only a second before they hardened once again with resolve. She pushed with a gasp as Adolfo pressed his paw against her, she wanted to howl to the fading moon instead she let out a soft whimper as a large bundle of wet fur slipped into the world.
Fie craned to look at her son, daughter? She nudged at the wet pile of fur and blinked as the large ball became two smaller fluff piles. Two girls, identical, yet not quite, her sharp ruby eyes noted the small differences. She chuckled softly and gazed at Adolfo with pride.
"So they were the ones causing such delays." She smiled softly and leaned back feeling at ease now as she huffed softly and another life came into the den. The last? She wondered, then she felt a furious kick that made her stomach clench, no it seemed there was one more.
She moved to cover the twins in fawn pelts the enormous furs draped over them and hid them as dawn crept closer. She grinned at the boy and nosed him closer trying to cover him in a fox pelt, yet he shied from being hidden away beneath it. She finally tied it around his waist and pushed him with his siblings to nurse.

Adolfo felt a shudder run down his spine and even shot his heart. It wasn't going to be very relieving to know that this had hurt her worse then the normal birthing process, but the moment his eyes looked at the ball of fur being pushed out onto the ground, his emerald eyes widened. That was one big pup and then it tumbled out to be two pups.
Twin girls, identical, but the coloring of their fur showed there was some slight differences in their colors and even on a marking or two. His tail wagged as Fie spoke softly.
"It would appear to be so," he murmured and he cleaned off the duo and then just getting them out of the way, worked on his third son. Well it looked like he was no longer out numbered.
Adolfo stepped back as he watch Fie hide the twins under different fawn pelts and as she tied the fox pelt around the youngest's waist. He looked out into the night sky/ early morning sky and sighed, he looked back towards Fie and watched as the pups nursed, "Is that the last of them?" he was asking, since he didn't feel the kick on Fie's stomach.

Fie arched back in pain, but a cry would not escape her lips, she did not wish to wake her half sleeping angels. As she gave birth to the last pup in the litter her eyes sparkled with curiosity and the tears she had refused to shed. So large a litter, but the birth she had feared so seemed a distant memory now that it was over.
Slowly she craned to see her last pup and gave a soft gasp. As the sun crept into the sky and banished the soft glow of the moon it revealed a painfully bright orange ball of fur.
Fie looked at Adolfo uncertainly, for although she loved the pup she was worried. How had such a bright creature been born to them? They who loved the night and embraced the shadows. Would their last daughter ever be able to fit in to their world of darkness? She felt a fight pain constricting in her chest and quickly grabbed a dark scrap of a bears pelt to cover her daughters brightness. Her eyes watered at the intensity of it in the dark safety they had made. She slowly moved her last child with the others, though Vegas was the only one visible, his pelt wrapped around him, his head poking out.
She looked at Adolfo and banished the fears for her youngest daughter, perhaps with time the pelt would darken. She smiled and moved to nose his fur gently, how she loved this wolf, for so many reasons, and now six new ones.
"Thank You..." She murmured softly her tail wavering against the earth.

His answer came soon, the arched back and...how brave Fie was. Six puppies, just like his brother, but they were in hopes of keeping there family together instead of letting it fall to shambles. Not that Waz didn't try...
His thoughts feel back into the present, as a streak of orange lit up the den in the dawning morning. The shadows didn't hesitate to embrace their master's bright daughter, infact they moved quicker then with the others, as if making sure that this last one was indeed his and the night wolfess'.
Emerald eyes didn't even need to lock with that of ruby gems, "Don't worry Fie, she will be fine within the shadows." There was a moments doubt in the darkness and the brute let a soft silencing growl out, the air went quiet around him and then the shadows moved to swirl around the gathering of the family.
Adolfo had moved to clean up the pup before Fie's quick burst of speed to drop the black bear pelt piece upon the youngest of the brood. Looking at Fie for the first time since the youngest was born, he felt the gentle noseing and returned with a soft lick of the maw.
"You did a wonderful job, my dear," ears turned abit at her words, and his head shook ever so slight, "No, thank you."
Adolfo laid down next to Fie. "Rest now, my shadow mistress, and when you wake, I'll have something waiting for you to eat, and fret not for any of your safety. Only a fool would dare to tred close to this area."

"Adolfo...we'll keep them safe...and..." She yawned and rested her head slowly on her paws as her eyes drifted slowly closed. "and...teach them right...and wrong." The dark female murmured and feel into a light sleep exhausted from the long night. Laying in the barely dawning light with her legs folded beneath her and her eyes closed, Fie was no more then a dark shadow against the earth.
Her body curled instinctively around the pups, and in her sleep she barely moved for the distant knowledge that one might be hurt.

"Always Fie, always," he whispered watching her yawn and eyes sliding close. "and answer every question honestly," the shaman added.
The emerald eyes flowed over Fie, a soft smile on his maw, then took in all six newborn pups. They were all beautiful, mostly of all the bright dawn in the brood. A startling shock to Fie, but he figured that his father's fur would reappear on one of more of his offspring. Adolfo moved his eyes back up to look at the softly slumbering Fie, she was beautiful even if she didn't know it. His heart throbbed for her just like it throbbed for Vianna, who he knew was the one to call him a b*****d.
The male just laid their, giving his body heat off to the small ring of pups and watching the seven members of his family, his heart was nearly fully to busting, but one part was empty, and he would need to make things right eventually with her also.
His head went to the ground and he softly rubbed cheeks with Fie, not wanting to stir her, before his eyes slid closed. His slumbering thoughts were only on Fie and how amazingly well she had done on this past eve.
