She knew the feeling the moment she woke up, she had walked around the whole day though quieter than usual, fidgeting about near the den she and Korou shared together. She hadn't said a thing to her mate for most of the day. She had not ignored him, far from it but she knew the feeling and that she must prepare.
The afternoon had worn on quietly and by the time the sun had started it's decent she lay in the bed of leaves she had insisted upon shovling out and replacing that very morning. She lay panting every so often, her soft blue eyes closed to the world.
"Korou." It was the first words she had uttered to her dark mate all day. "Korou it's time, come here and welcome your babes in to the world." She puurrs her womb contracting uncomfortably, she knew it would not be long until their first child entered the world and she didn't want Korou to miss a moment of it.

Colche hadn't said a word to him all day, it made Korou feel slightly uncomfortable, like a calm before the storm sort of uncomfortable. He didn't mention any of this to his mate of course, for he had some fear that the calm was his fault or that he'd done some terrible thing to make her upset or angry, but it was hard to tell if she were angry. The vibe of anger never came from her, that feeling was never there, nor did he even know what it felt like when it came from her.
Rather than feel uncomfortable throughout her pacing about the den, Korou had instead ghosted outside the den and laid his lean body down in the sunlight before the trees. A nap usually helped him through his day but if he wasn't feeling all that comfortable then he couldn't enjoy it and right now he wasn't really enjoying his nap. Images of love lost and dying family drifted through his mind and it was all Korou could do but to pray that none of those horrible things happened to Colche during this time.
"Korou."
His mate's gentle voice made him leap to his paws and dart into the cave instantly. What she'd just said... so that's why she'd been so quiet. It was time. He was going to be a father again now and damned if he wasn't ready for it but he had to be. Because he loved her and even if he was scared he wouldn't show it.
"They're coming now?" Korou whispered softly and pressed his nose to her soft fur on her belly.... only to receive a kick to the snoot. "I suppose they're more than ready for it then." He said as he rubbed his nose where it'd been kicked.

Smiling weakly the dainty female gave a small cry of pain. "Yes Korou, it's time" She whispers her claws raking through the dried leaves beneath her. She had done this before of course and knew exactly what to expect, the pain was the same, the feling of life about to explode in to the world made her smile but it was still painfull.
Pushing as hard as she could, the king marked femme released their first child in to the world. Reaching for their first child she groomed at his body, lapping life in to his small frame and nipping away the umbillical cord before pressing his tiny nose in to her downy belly.
"You have a son." She whispers to Korou feeling the pressure once again building in her body.

From the safety he once knew, the world had become vastly different. The small cub eyes were sealed and its ears slightly flattened against its skull as the unfamiliar rush of cool air seemed to brush against his fur causing him to shiver and curl up tighter against his mother. For one so small he wasn't use to the sudden change and gave a small cry-his closed eyes scrunching tighter as he huddled closer to the warmth of the body that surrounded him. But no sooner did he feel a gentle tongue caress against his body bringing comfort and a deeper sense of security athough his body did manage to tremble slightly from time to time.
It was obvious to tell that he was a bit afraid of the world around him.
But a strang sensation and desire seemed to rumble within his stomach as he crawled towards his mothers stomach and began to paw, finding a n****e and begining to suck. He was hungry and as he began to feed that sense of security only increased in knowing, somehow that he was indeed safe.
The small cheetah cub continued to suck but occasionally pressed a paw or two against his mothers stomach, the occasional small cry coming from his maw as the little one was discovering that, he, like the voices he heard around him, had a voice as well and he wanted to use it.
He began to mew louder and louder as this new voice, this sound he was making, was so strange yet so fun! He could feel his vocals ring with such a new and fresh tune while his paws continued to knead against his mothers stomach with glee.

He heard her pain, heard her cry and lay his head against her belly with his ear to it. Whispering words of encouragement to both her and the cubs, Korou snuggled his mate and purred his loudest for her. He didn't want her to be in pain, he didn't want her to hurt, but he knew that for her to get the cubs out she had to feel pain.
And then she'd had one. One perfect little bundle of joy that he could even smell tainted around blood.
A son.... a son... Korou had a son.
Tears streamed down his muzzle from happiness and he nosed at Colche's cheek gently. "I love you Colche." He whispered as best he could through his tears.
Reaching down with his long whiskers, Korou nosed at his first child, his son. The tiny body was even smaller than the cubs he'd had with Chopi, but the joy he could feel from his whiskers down to his tail made a smile spread over his dark muzzle and tears drop down on the cubs small body. He had a son. He and Colche had made a son.

Colche smiled a sweet soft smile as she watched her dark mate nuzzle so closely against his first son. She could not hold that smile for long though as their second child decided it was time to come in to the world. Her voice rang out painfully as she poushed to release their child in to the world with their first. Turning to retreive their second child she nudged Korou on her way her nose brushing against his cheek. "we are far from over." She whispers tencing as their second child, their second son came in to the world.
Her tongue lapped feverishly against this cub, he was like the first, male, only he was bright orange with black lines. She smiled, the brothers had wonderful similarities. A gentle puurr rolled off her tongue as she pushed their second child against her stomach next to his vocal brother. "It seems your sons are happy to see you too Korou." She laughs weakly noseing at the little black male comfortingly.
Shifting slightly, she took a deep long breath and wiated for the contractions to rake her body once again. her body ached and already she was tired but the cubs had to come out before she could sleep.

Nuzzling her neck from her cries, Korou felt like there was nothing that he could do but he wanted to help so badly. Of course this was her pain and hers alone, but what could he do? Was there really anything?
Puffing himself up slightly, Korou wanted to hug her tightly and try to whisk the pain away. He couldn't though, he knew that but there was nothing he could do.
"I'm sorry for putting you in pain Colche, I'm sorry." He said in his softest voice as he nosed at her cheeks and neck and ears, licking her fur and trying to distract her from her pain with his immense love for her.
And then it was over and he had another son.
Reaching down he nosed both of them, they smelled so much alike and they even FELT alike. Something was strange.
"What's wrong with them? They smell the same..." Korou said, disconcerted. He'd never known what a twin was though he himself was in fact one, a fact he had never known and might never know being that he was separated from his family at such a young age.
Cold. Endless cold.
The tiny Halloween colored cub curled his toes into... something, only to be flipped over seconds later and have something large and foreign clean at his belly. Fear lashed through him as he tried to wiggle away from it, trying desperately to find a way to get back to that warmth and wholeness that he'd felt not that long ago. Something had felt like it was torn from him and then he was shoved from his warmth not long after.
Suddenly in his clawings to get away the tiny cheetah bumped into something that felt like it belonged. It was... was it what had been ripped from him? His other half?
A mewl came from his tiny muzzle and instead of going for his mother's belly, he instead crawled onto the back of his brother, desperate to feel whole once again, to feel like there was one of him. Crying out, he draped himself over his elder brother's back and snuggled down into his fur with a content purr.

Colche smiled. "Don't worry my love we have twins that is all, it's not unusual, akilli and afiya are nearly identical too." She whispered these words ever so quietly she was tired and knew she still had a fair way to go before all of their cubs tasted fresh air.
The pains started slowly once again and her belly tenced , her womb pushing the tiny cub out in to the world.
And at last she had a daughter. "A daughter" she whispers, smiling softly at Korou as he gave her gentle nuzzling encourgaement. It was so wonderful having him there with her. She needed him there, it was so much easier to be giving birth with him at her side whispering his words to her. Colche groomed the tiny dark babe thoroughly, she was so beautiful, her golden and black fur and cascading spots. Nipping away the cord she was partially convinced that this must be the last. Three was a rather large number.
Pushing the tan cub to her plust belly to feed she let out a slow sigh only to be surprised by a further contraction. "Oh!" her blue eyes went wide. "It seems we have one more to come" she breathed, her tongue falling over her lips as she panted, trying to pull in all the air she needed for her final popperation.

A confused sound left her small and dark world for a much colder and larger one. The strange little cub twitched and writhed under the rough appendage cleaning her.
The second her belly met the earth below her she squirmed away from the large creature only to run into a pair of smaller ones that at least seemed familiar to her. Where as the younger twin had thrown himself across his brother, she squirmed down under the both of them to return to a cramped space as she had become accustomed to.

"Twins?" Korou mimicked the word unsure. He'd never seen twins, never smelled them and for some reason they smelled just... wrong to him. But if that was the way they were supposed to be then he wouldn't complain, he'd just love them.
Smiling and nosing at her neck softly,Korou blinked his blind eyes. He had another daughter? He had another daughter! Pride swelled within him an he licked at his three squirming children happily. He couldn't believe how lucky he was. Three children, they'd brought three perfect children into the world. It was a dream come true and only got better when he was told... there was another to join.
"Four? There were four little ones in there all this time?" Korou whispered, nosing at her bellyfur softly.

Colche sighed heavily as she let the final throws of her birthing tear through her lythe body. Pushing down hard she let out an exsasperated growl. She knew this final cub would be a problem. Taking ina breath once more, her blue eyes closed tightly as she furthered her efforts to release thei last child. Three was hard four, more so. Her tongue peered out between her lips as at last their fourth child came tumbling in to the world.
Panting heavily the king marked mother reached for their final child, yes, this was certainly the last her stomach was sore and her body ached horribly but they had four healthy cubs.
Grooming the damp cub until she was soft and dry she laid her beside her brothers and older sister. "A second daughetr" she sighs, her breath someing short and silently now. She was exhausted, this birthing had been harder than her first even though experience was on ehr side birthing four cubs had been much more of a strain on her body.
Leaning down she nuzzled Korou's ears and laid her head down in the leaves to give her babes full access to her milk. Four, her beautiful four. "It is traditional when the father whistnesses the birth that he names his children." She coos her tongue rolling ina gentle puurr. "Give your babies their names Korou. Give them good names that they can walk the world proudly with." she puurrs looking at her dark mate with tired blue eyes.

The little pale cub squeeled a bit, not enjoying the cold world. Wiggling, she soon found the feel of her mother's tongue welcoming. It was comforting and calmed her, making her stop wiggling so much. There was the sudden sense of nothing under her, and then... Her brothers and sister. It was warm, curled up there next to her mother's belly. She let out little chirps, pawing the soft cream-colored fur she'd been set before.
