Adia didn't know how long she'd been... Well....
ROUND like this, but the canine knew it was something alright. She finally lapped the water at her hole tiredly, the fluttering kicking in her belly growing still and she gave a yelp as something, well, MOVED.
And she knew it was time, and that she was not alone. The canine made her way to a soft patch of dirt and lay down, yelping pitifully every so often.
It wasn't safe alone, she knew, but she couldn't fight this. This was the way things were. This was how her own mother felt, when... When...
Her eyes went wide as she lay there. She couldn't have been... Was she!? Not only with pups...
THEY WERE COMING!?
She wished someone was there with her...

Wandering back towards the watering hole with a hare in his mouth(Not the one that had been following him, of course), Raka hummed a happy tune. The rock head he was, he'd completely missed whatever message there was that Adia was pregnant. He didn't even seem to notice that she was getting rounder. When he heard her yelp, though, he promptly started to run. Something was wrong! Ears moving back, he gripped the hare in his maw.

Adia lay whimpering on some sand, body shaking something violent as the contractions began. She'd never witnessed birth often, and she was frightened. Adia whined, looking around in wide eyed terror. Being alone was NOT good at that moment and she knew it, but she didn't know where Raka was.

And speaking of Raka... In his hurry, he passed Adia, skidding and dropping the rabbit. With a splash, he landed in the water, tumbling nose over tail. As he climbed out, midnight blue eyes fell upon the female. "Adia?! What's wrong?!" He hurried over, ignoring his wet coat competely.

"I think I'm having puppies!" The female whined. Indeed, Adia had almost been oblivious to her round belly, attributing it to the fact...
OMG! Raka can hunt!
Well, it was now obvious it wasn't that, and the female whined again, giving a yelp as she felt.. One of the pups begin to emerge. Instinct took over, and she pulled herself over and began to lick the pup to stimulate life.

"Oh... Wait, PUPPIES?!" His jaw dropping, Raka sat down. Blue eyes wide, he suddenly became very aware of how round Adia had become round and was now... More or less, she was popping. In awe, the male sat and watched the miracle known as birth, ears up and forward. How was she able to DO that? It was taking mighty effort not to pass out.

And it was there, that, out of a cozy, warm little place, the pup was thrown out to a cold world(compared to the womb xD). He was the large, being first born, but motionless, chocked in by a slimy sack. It moved pitifully, like a black little blob, his brown fur darkened by young age.
Then, in his struggle to break the saq and find air, something was pushing down upon him; and he was free.
A tongue was brought down on the tiny, rat like dog, and with a first gasp for air; it became startled and wailed pityfully. He coulden't hear or see things yet, tiny eyes glued together and ears quite sound-less, but he managed to wiggle closer to the warmpth of his mothers body, throat errupting some little squeals as he went, tiny paws twiching uncomfterbly against the earth.
What was this place?

Adia continued to lick him, her first puppy, her baby--OW. A wince and a whine as her body convulsed again. Birth was always hard. Adia continued grooming, waiting paitiently as she did before the second emerged. Repeat process; as the female moved her head to lick the newcomer, to welcome it to the world with love and care, and tenderness.

So small... Raka inched closer, nose twitching. The dark little pup looked quite a bit like Adia, he noted. Like a little male clone... And just like that, another was in the world.
It was cold, it was dry, and she didn't like it! Struggling and squeeling, the first born female protested to this sudden shoving out, not liking it one bit. But just as quickly, she was calmed by the warm tongue brushing over her. It was nice, very nice. Finally calmed, she found herself laying next to her brother, leaning against his warm body. Now THIS was familiar.

Adia continued licking both pups, tail wagging slightly, the exhausted female nuzzling and loving them. Contractions came again as the third came forth, and Adia moved to lick her.
The pup was noiseless, the sac removed with a gentle tounge that soon coaxed it to life. The pup whined softly, and soon found it's way to feed, nursing greedily. The warmth of two other pups close to it... How lovely! But one was yet to come, and difficult as well. The pup, however, knew little of this, nursing hungrily. It was almost mute, but oh!
This world was nasty! But atleast she was warm!

And then came another. And another. Was another going to come, too? The pup brought its tiny paws to the sides of the teat it suckled, pushing away as if it was hard to give up such warm milk.
He felt two forms by his side, both of his sister... Maybe he should just.. Poke them. Or something..
But the idea is brushed away, and with a tiny little mew of a yawn, it curled into a tiny ball, wiggling closer between its sisters for warmth. The paws were tiny, ears flopyy, tail as small as long as an adult's nail, he looked very well like some sort of rat, if it weren't for the tiny little snout.
Nosing his sisters a bit to wiggle closer to his mother, the pup is soon sleeping like a rock.

YIP.
The younger female was pushed from the teat and immediately an unhappy mewling noise emitted from her throat.
That was MEAN it was! The pup padded a bit near it's mother, crying as it looked for head before flopping on it's mother's paw.

He was big. He was brown. He was dumb.
With a loud, pitifull wail as one of the warm things retreated, the pup pushed off its mother's belly, blancing on haunches for a moment before falling like a potato onto his back. Startled by his new position, the pup took effort to roll onto his stomach, before wiggling around, to the rong direction.
The pups tiny movements, in a panicked acceleration were taing him snail speed towards the watering hole.
And he was off!
Untill, that it, the newborn wiggled ontop of a small rock and feared getting off.

The warmth was moving around a lot, and she didn't like it one bit! With a squeel, the dusty female followed ever-so-slowly after her sibbling, soon finding another by her. More warmth made her happy, and she happily settled down, setting into nursing. All she knew was touch and smell, and what her little paws kneeded at smelled comforting to her. Her pink nose, the only one like her mother's, twitched, but nothing more.
Three pups... And only one boy in the whole lot of them. Raka couldn't help but feel proud, then slightly worried, then a bit panicked as the male moved away so quickly... For a newborn, anyway. Ever so carefully(For he'd never handled pups before), the sandstone dog picked the pup up and deposited him back with his sisters. Laying back down, he curled his body just right so that the pups wouldn't get far if they wiggled away. "Adia... They're all so beautiful..." He did not, of course, know that there was a fourth one in there.
