((Poor Sarabi. And she gets the headache of having children now, after all that trouble giving them life.))

 Sarabi slumped back, finished with the task of cleaning the fith cub. It had been dificult to see where the birthing blood ended and his red coat began, especially as she seemed to have trouble focusing. She was so tired... and getting more so as she continued to bleed. When the pain started again, the Queen whimpered, thrashing in the soft grass now dark with her blood. The pain grew, becoming more intense with each passing moment. Each movement as agony, each breathe a lead in to yet more pain. It very nearly took her consciousness as she heaved and produced the sixth, and final cub:  With the last of her strength, Sarabi pulled her youngest daughter to her and cleaned her fur, the hue an exact match to her brothers. When the task was done, she sagged onto her side and sighed as her eyes drifted closed. She sank into oblivion, and while her chest still moved, but it was shallow and fitful breaths. The golden body was hot with returning fever, the mind that normally inhabited it fled from exhaustion.

The youngest boy squirmed, letting out little squeals as he tried to get situated enough to suckle. Soon after he was tired out and feel asleep against the warmth of his mother, unknowing of the struggles she went through birthing the set of twins.
(mwhaha. biggrin
-snuggles Sarabi-)

Bakhti couldn''t bear to see the queen in that much pain she stood up and stepped into the den, "Mufasa, sir." She bowed her head as she walked in, "Is there anything I can get her? To help her anything?" She classed the femme as her friend so worried about her greatly. She just watched the cubs squirm around hoping there was something she could do to help the golden femme.

-As his mate passed into her tired exhuastion, Mufasa settled himself carefully on the other side of the cubs, boxing them in protectively, as he began to try and attend to Sarabi. Nosing his way to be near her warm forehead, he tried to soak up any of the extra heat that her body would allow.
As he attended though, eyes kept to the six small cubs as they moved and suckled, leading them gently with a massive paw when they began to stray too far from each other and the warmth of their mother.
He didn't look back when Bakhti spoke perhaps in hopes to hide his true helplessness and ignorance.. or perhaps because his attention was so set on this new 'little' family. Sighing gently, he wracked his brain, before answering softly back.- "I'm afraid I don't know... perhaps when she wakes.. she'll want something to eat.. or drink.. or perhaps some cleaner bedding.. but.. I'm really not that certain."

This would seem to be quite a fitful sleep, as after only a short time Uumi woke again; perhaps uncomfortable. He squirmed his way toward the dying cub, though unknown to him that his brother would soon be dead, and snuggled up. What was this? He was getting no warmth from the other, or very little anyways. He mewed softly, squirming. He was already exuasted, this extra effort was taxing on him, and he fell asleep again, this time pressed closer to his mother and the dying child.

((Hrmm.. no decided color for Kami yet, so she'll be black for now. ^ ^; ))
-The golden female suckled from her mother until her tiny stomach was full ignoring more of the blind world around her. There was warm and there was cold, there was the soft comforting feel of her family around her, small bodies all mushed together in a tangle of legs, tails, and chubby little bodies. But her closest womb-mate, the tiny little runt pressed against her side was was growing cooler, his movements slowing until finally, a surprisingly loud shudder of air escaped from his body, delicate cry resting upon the last breath.
The young female nudged softly, as the feel of breathing, and warmth, and the comforting thump of the heart next to her no longer appeared to be there, and she tried to curl a little closer to her mother, once again looking blindly for the comforts of life.-
-The cubs had made a few noises of protest here and there as they filled their stomachs.. got used to their new little bodies. But mostly they were silent in their task, so when the pained cry touched the air his head immediately lifted and his eyes began to search his young for which had made the cry. After moments of looking he'd almost been ready to rest his head again, when he finally noticed the golden males chest no longer expanding with breath.. and it was then the the sense.. the minutely familar smell of death began to take over his nostrils.
Feverishly he sat, reaching for the small cub with a delicate n**, a wave of fear touching him as the coldness of the cub's body became apparent. Settling the cub between his fore paws, he frantically began to ruffle at the cub coat, trying to stir it in awakenness.
Ignoring the upset mowls of his other cubs at the intrusion, he began to lick the cub, try and warm the cub, nuzzle and nose until his own breath was coming frightened heaves. And still the cub remained still, cold, silent. Curling his paws around the cub, he moved closer once again to his mate, cradling their lost little one as he pressed his own heat near his living children. He would have to take the cub elsewhere before too long.. before it began to upset the other children.. but for now as Mufasa tried to fight off the emotions of anger, and sadness, and fear that crept within his large frame they'd lay together as a family. The lost cub deserved that much atleast.-

Sarabi slept like the dead, her chest barely moving. Once in a while her paws would twitch in agitation, a mewing sound coming from her throat as the fever cast bad dreams across her mind.
A small squeak of protect came from the small red female as she pushed aside her siblings to get closer to her mother. She suckled greedily, settling back with a burp when she was done. Even newly born, this cub seemed to have an endless thirst for life, as well as a need to fight for the best of everything.

Bakhti watched the death of the cub in horror. She stepped back and swallowed hard before lowering her head and backed out of the cave. She turned to Maawio, if they were going to help Bakhti couldn''t do it on her own.
"Maawio..." She pratically whispered, trying to restrain the tears that were fighting to crawl down her face, it was only a little cub. It had no life, it didn''t deserve that! "Mufasa said we could collect some food and new bedding for Sarabi." she gulped again the feeling some what of a rock inside her throat and stomach seemed to stop her talking properly.

Kijito let out a soft whimper, his small paws twitching as he slept fitfully. Inching closer even as he slept, towards his mother's warmth. Burrowing against his mother and siblings he continued to whimper every now and then as he slept.

-Mufasa watched the cubs with a soft solemnness.. the joy of the day seemingly brought down by their loss.. and his mate's pain. Silently he dwell in his mind over his options. He didn't like the thought of leaving and taking the cub away now.. before his mother could say goodbye. But at the same note.. could he deal with his mate if she woke up to see the lifeless cub? Sighing gently, he nuzzled ever closer to the group trying to think of the best thing to do.. the right thing.-

Kijito twitched as he let out a soft almost growling sound. Shifting in his sleep he began to move away from his mother and the other cubs. Seeking out the warmth of his father.

Rehani's breathing slowed to an even tempo, sleep overtaking her tiny body. The warmth of her mother and the fullness of her tummy did that, not even the shifting of her siblings could wake her.

He gave a small wheeze in his sleep, squirming, awake again. Why did he sleep so fitfully! He did not like it. He gave a low, broken mew. Already it sounded slightly.. broken perhaps. Rhaspy. He might have breathing problems when he's older, especially since he'd had his cord wrapped about his neck.
He began to move around the small bodies of his siblings, slow but continuous, trying to find one sibling in particular. How he might do that is anyone's guess, she was fast asleep. He gave another small screech, seeking out his twin.
((Sure is amusing RPings little newborns xD))
