((Note: This RP is to have happened quite a long time ago in the IC world. This is before Loki gives bith, hell, she may have just got pregnant at this point.))
Night had fallen and the white hued femme slipped away from her family to the den. Kovu was no where in sight but the time had finally come. After being heavy with pups for such a long time, her little ones would finally be brought into the vast world.
Situating herself upon the dried grass which she had gathered Tat whined as her contractions grew closer together and more intense. This went one for quite sometime. The moon had risen and was casting her light upon the small den though little of the white rays managed to slip into the underground birthing den. No, Tat was alone and now her puppies were coming.
The first one turned out to be the most difficult for the young femme to give birth to but once he was finally out Tat gazed upon the brown fur that clearly the pup had inherited from his father. Cleaning off the large boy Tat helped him located his food source just in time for another pup to be born. They certainly weren't taking their time, not that the young mother minded much.
Next came a small female whom had also inherited her father's fur color but what amused Tatiana most were the small flecks of darker brown on her rump. Those marks were clearly from the little one's mother. Tat has little time to clean off the female when the next pup was born. Another male, and this one had clearly inherited his mother's color pattern. Black and white stood out starkly against the two other brown pups after the third bron was cleaned and united with his brother and sister.
Tat looked down lovingly at the pups when another, and her last one was born. This one was certainly the smallest of the group, the runt. Her fur pattern matched neither her fathers or her mothers but it was striking none-the-less. Tat carefully took care of the small pup before nudging her to her brothers and sisters. The four pups suckled greedily each one pawing at the others in hopes of keeping other greedy mouths at bay.
