((*snicker giggles* Poor Muffy, so clueless for such an old lion.))
-Nodding her fell into a soft silence, following after her mate as she made her way towards the back of the den. Pausing near her, unsure if she'd rather he be touching her or not, he waited for her direction, if it was to come, silently dwelling upon the beautiful glow she gave despite her pain.-

 Sarabi rose and began to pace, the grass rustling under the tred of her paws. The wooden beads of her necklace clicked together with the swaying movement of her shoulders, the sound a small comfort to her ears. Every sense seemed magnified to the Queen as she labored, preparing to force new life into the world. The crushed grass brought a sweet smell to her nose and soft, cushion-like feel under the pads of her paws. The feel changing from the softness of the grass to the smooth stone of the den's floor.

Maawio saw Bakhti, but was too shocked to speak. She hadnt realised it was this painful, she watched them for a moment, before bowing her head gracefully from outside the den. "Best of luck, Sarabi." She said sweetly, her blue eyes trying to reassure her through her kind smile. She knew the queen would be alright, but she felt like the circle of life was about to be replayed in front of her, she didnt know what to do whether to run or simply keep the queen company. She had Mufasa. Maawio felt a wave nausea just thinking about it. But its time like this that lions need support, she thought, so she stayed, her head still bowed slightly in respect.

Sarabi groaned and settled down on the grass. The contractions were close together now. After a few minutes of laboring, the first of her cubs appeared:  In the pause before the next, Sarabi pulled her new daughter to her chest, licking her gold fur clean.

Bakhti watched as the cub emerged. She could only just see from being outside the den but she could see the little golden cub appear. She smiled and looked up at Maawio before back into the den where the king and queen lay.

((Whaaa, mine! heart heart *snuggles her*))
-Mufasa smiled with a sense of fatherly pride as he watched the young lionness' first moments of life. Thoughts of the original heir, Simba settled in the back of his head and a bittersweet feeling washed over him. He'd just have to protect this little one that much harder.
Watching the small cub creep and wriggle towards the affection of her mother, Mufasa stepped to the other side of his mate, sitting near her head where he could offer a proud and loving lick of affection to her cheek. It was truely a new day and a new cycle.-
((Muffy: Wait, what! There are more. o.o But but.. she only had one last time.. XD ))

Sarabi nuzzled her mate before the labors began again. This time, it was a little boy cub that appeared, identical to his older sister: No sooner had Sarabi pulled him to her chest, than her body seized up and another little cub came: Sarabi gathered them both to her, licking them clean as they lay curled up next to their sister. Three beautiful little cubs... The Queen fairly glowed with happiness through the pain of the birth. Three lovely little ones. "Ah, Darling. Look what we've made! Our Pride has grown today." She sighed, settling back to rest. Her chest heaved and her tongue lolled as she panted.

-Mufasa's eyes widened softly as not one, but two new cubs made their way into the world, and his mate soon had the little bundles pulled up to her chest. Another feeling of pride swept over him and he curled gently behind her back, watching his new family with a silent sense of awe.
Finally, nuzzling again against Sarabi's frame, he whispered comfortingly to her.- "Beautiful like their mother it would seem too. We've truely been blessed."
-However all was not quite so well as it seemed. The second born, most obviously a runt compared to it's two siblings tried to curl towards his mother and fend off the cold that was overcoming his small and slowly weaking frame. Wedging himself between his more lively siblings he lay comfortedly, unbenounced to his parents that it wouldn't be long before the circle of life once again took him to the dirt.-

Sarabi grunted as the birthing pain came again, amazed that there was yet another cub to be born: Sarabi pulled this cub to her as well, licking her clean. In moments, the contractions started again. Yet another?? Exhaustion was begining to make her mind feel fuzzy, and she'd long since gotten numbed to the pain. This time though, unlike the others, she had trouble producing the cub. Contraction after contraction, Sarabi fought to force the next cub into the world, each time her pushes lossing strength. Finally, gathering herself, the Queen gave one last push. The cub arrived in a rush of blood, breech birthed: When Sarabi realized that the cord was wrapped around his neck as well, she quickly pulled him to her and bit through the cord. Instinct took over as she cleaned him, searching for any sign that he had been affected by the hard birth. Thankfully, he seemed fine.

Maawios wide eyes grew even wider as she watched the birth, she smiled fondly at Sarabi, she admired her for being so brave, though many females must go through this pain. She looked down at the beautiful baby cubs and smiled. One day, maybe she and Amari would have cubs like that of her own. She sat down, giving them a respectful bow and wondering if Sarabi would need to eat soon, she couldnt hunt for hersel,f that was for sure. Mabye she would have to ask Sarabi, or even Mufasa, if they needed assitance? The golden adolescent pondered, a confused look on her face.
((-snugs the poor golden boy- ;___ wink )

-A pained look touched Mufasa's face at his mate's pain and strain, and soft gentle words of comfort flowed from the king as Sarabi undertook her daunting task. How so much life could come from her he'd never know, but secretly he hoped that it would stop soon, for as much as the blessing of children was, it tore him apart to see her pants, her seizing pain.
After the trouble with the fifth cub, he nudged her very gently, unaware of the last little life that rest within her body.- "Sarabi... perhaps you should try to rest. I can send for water.. food. Anything you need."
