Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bakhti lay be her rock, not on it this time for the pains in her stomach were going again, sharper then for the last few days. She breathed a little faster then normal knowing what was coming, last time the pains hadn't been as sharp though, that or she had forgotten how bad they were.

She attempted to lick at her paw, anything to take her mind off the sharp pains in her stomach, who's idea was it to have another litter? Oh yeah.. hers. Stupid girl!

Her light blue eyes looked into his dark ones, "It hasn't been that long, why now.." Her sentence was cut off as another pain shot through her body, were these cubs coming earlier then originally thought, why was this pregnancy quicker then all the others, why was everything so fast??

Her thoughts were cut short as yet another pain shot through her body this was more familiar to her, a proper contraction. The first cub was definatly on the way and even though this scared her a little, she wanted the births to be ok, she wanted everything to be easy and fine.

Another contraction, stronger then the one before and this time she let out a roar, one of pain and it hurt her alot, the pain, oh it hurt, it really hurt. A snarl came out next as she breathed in harder and harder, she let out another roar as she pushed and pushed. Her heary was beating faster and she felt as if she could be sick but slowly, ever so slowly a cub emerged from her.

The cub was pale and seemed to have a dark brown mask over her face. Bakhti pulled her close and washed her down, the contractions had died down for now though she knew there were more, she could feel he cubs fighting to get free.

Bakhti continued to lick her when she felt another contraction, not too bad at first. "Mahiri, you may name this little girl." A smile covered the lionesses face for a brief second before another contraction started. Mahiri was right, time seemed to dissappear now!

The second contraction was worse then the first. She roared out louder and struggled to stay still the last thing she would want to do is roll onto the newborn female. The contraction stopped.

She took in a few deep breaths and nuzzled Mahiri's legs as much as she could before her body tensed again, another contraction and another she could feel them coming quicker now, one after another, and another and then a head, a brown head, another contraction, a couple of legs, another contraction the rest of the choclate coloured cub appeared and the contractions stopped once more.

She took in a few breaths before moving the cub towards her and cleaning him. She then looked to Mahiri, that was it. She had two last time and she had two this time. That was it.

She started to calm down a little, the contractions had stopped for now but she didn't realise there were still two cubs yet to come.

Bakhti nuzzled the cub gently and smiled, resting her head on her paws for a little while. A pain shot through her body suddenly, must be an after thing. She couldn't possibly have more then two cubs this time could she? She smiled to herself, her blue eyes shut as she felt her cubs suckling. THis was lovely, a boy and a girl, just like last time.

She would have thought it paradise and nearly perfect if only Danzi, Mchele and Kib were around but none of them were. She then got the pain again. She cried out a little in pain and then roared as another pain came, and another, and then another. "Mahiri..." She spoke harshy in between the deep breaths she was having to take. "There is anot....another.. one.." She stopped and pushed hard, the pain surging through her body as the contractions took place. Sweat was pouring all over her body and it wasn't long before a mainly white cub appeared. It was a strange coloured one that was for sure but Bakhti put it with the others after washing it, just like most cubs, how strange this was, 3 cubs.


The young cub wriggled around a little as his mother washed him, he easily made his way to his siblings as his mother helped to guide him as she had with the others. THis youngster stuck out amoungst the other two, he seemed to have the most obvious colour on him, or maybe that was thought because Bakhti's eye sight was going a little funny at this moment in time. Either way the young cub, instead of suckling just curled up by its mother, not doing much else.

She let out a smile and a chuckle as she looked at her mate. "Thats them all." She licked at the newest cub again and let out a purr like rumble to show how happy she was, she then turned to her mate again, "I want to call the two males, Nitesh for the brown one and Mbali for the white one. You name the female!" SHe licked at his maw and then looked at the three youngsters all seemed so happy and so calm.

She had no idea there was still one cub left, one that hadn't even attempted to wriggle out the mothers tummy. THe last one, the smallest out of the four.

Bakhti laid her head down to rest with a smile on her face, she had done a good job here, she was happy and content, definatly happy though!

Bakhti just smiled and rested. She was a mother again, not that she wasn't but now she had young cubs to look after and she loved it.

She hadn't bee resting for more then five minutes maybe ten though lions and time doesn't normally work well together. Either way a contraction started again. "Mahiri... " She didn't say much else she was in shock that there could be another cub that had not arrived yet and what was worse was that the cub had taken so long in coming out.

THe contractions came quicker and faster and the pain was shooting through the femmes body. She pushed and pushed and pushed though the cub didn't come out. She roared in pain and wanted to wriggle about but if she did she risked her cubs lives. She just moaned and roared out the pain as much as she could.

The birth of the last cub took nearly fifteen minutes though to Bakhti it seemed like days, when the golden cub eventually appeared she was so exhausted she couldn't reach it. Mahiri would have to deal with this cub, she didn't have the energy to do anything.

Her head fell on her paws and in seconds she was sleeping, her three cubs happy but she knew nothing of the fourth, she was exhausted that last one had been a handful to get out.

Mahiris mind was still in that dreamy state of happiness, and he was now over the birth of the third suprise cub. He snuggled closer to Bakhti, lovingly, a grin never leaving his ivory maw.

Though as she called his name, as she had done previously, he grew fearful again, and soon enough, she was pushing to give birth to a fourth cub! Shocked and worried, he stayed close to Bakhti, listening to her pained roar with saddened, yet happy eyes.

After what seemed an eternity of listening to Bakhtis pained cries, the fourth cub was born. He saw the beautiful golden girl arrive and licked Bakhti as she rested her head against her paws. Though she had fallen asleep, so he assumed her would be dealing with this cub.

The young female had already found his paw and was nuzzling it sweetly. Mahiris smiled widened and he was quick to free her of the good, cleaning her and picking her up very gently, placing her next to her three siblings so she could finally drink.
