Tanashita walked through the lands of her past, the sights and smells invading her senses and making her mind conjure up thoughts and memories of times when she was young. She remembered running and playing with her siblings, fighting with them as well, and the time she left. She felt a wave of emotions as she walked, but it was all cut short when she felt a harsh pain flow through her body. She knew that pain; and she knew what it meant.
She ran as fast as she could back to the den, calling her loves name as she did.

Kifijo's ears pricked up instantly as Tana's calls, also hearing her heavy paws hitting the ground.
"Tana? What's the matter?" He called out from the den, trotting towards her.
If the sun and moon were cycling correctly, it would be time. And he certainly looked forward to it.
Except for that one part...

Tana ran over to him, her heart beating fast and her breath coming short. Her face contorted in pain and she collapsed to the ground. The moon shone bright above them, the stars twinkling with anticipation. "It's... time..." She muttered, as her back arched with another stream of pain.
The lioness pulled herself to her feet and leaned againts her mate as they went back into the den. She went to the small moss covered bed, laying down gratefully. She smiled up at Kif, her eyes sparkling just as the stars were. "They're almost here..."

Kif tried to help her as much as he could without treating her like glass. That was one of the things he was afraid to be yelled at for: she was pregnant, not broken.
"It's time? Are you sure?" His eyes flickered to her stomach as another ripple passed through. He could see it. It was time.

Tana nodded at him quickly, as another surge of pain swept through her. She cringed and laid her head down, bracing herself for the first cub to come.
As she felt the cub leave her body, she looked up and turned her head to see her. She was tan like Tana, and her markings reminded the old lioness of Riku. She quickly pushed the thought of her son from her mindl she didn't want to bring that up at such a happy and delicate time.
"She's beautful..." She said to Kif as she began to clean their daughter. And brace herself for the next cub.

Kif licked her neck as the first girl emerged, sticky with her mother's womb.
"She's definitely her mother's daughter," he replied with a chuckle.
He lay down so that his back was turned to the den's opening and his head near her belly for encouragement. "Ah! I didn't miss it, did I?" Moyo sprinted towards the den, muttering under her breath the whole time. Silly Kiwi. She loved him to death, but the moment she had heard the news (while he was happily chattering away), she was gone.
Her paws skeetered to the edge of the den, ears and tail lowered for submissiveness.
"Mom? Dad?" she called in hopefully. Moyo could smell the birthing liquids and scrunched her nose up.

Bakari had travelled back from Nyek's territory, definitely a lot skinnier than when he had first sneaked off. Finally, a chance to relax again, after seeing his old... aquaintance, Rukiya, but not seeing any of Riku.
As he walked through the dry, dense grass, he noticed his parents padding quickly into the cave, and after only a minute or two, his sister, Moyo. Wait'll he showed up! They'd all be very happy and ecstatic to see him. Grinning proudly, he leapt over the grasses with a spring in his step. He puffed out his chest, padding over to the entrance of the den. "Mother, father, I'm ho--"
His eyes scanned down to see his mother, although her elegant figure was in pain, was cleaning a small cub, who shared an uncanny likeness to his family.. Maybe they had taken in a cub?
WAIT. Th-that marking. That swirl on her small, fragile shoulder! The adolescent did a double take, looking franticly at his -own- swirled shoulder. "WHO IS THAT?!" he roared at first, before mentally slapping his forehead and toning his voice down. "Wh-wh-who.. is.. is th-that?"

Tanashita smiled as she saw her eldest daughter enter their den. "You didn't miss a thing dear." She said, smiling. "Come see your new sister." She said, nosing the cub tenderly and watching the small family grow larger, in size and soul.
As Bakari entered the den, Tana grinned happilly and was about to speak before her face contorted with pain again and she fell back down, taking deep breaths as the next cub came into the world.
A small, chocolate brown male came after his brown sister. Tana smiled with relief as the pain left, and she started to lick him clean, but another pain came quickly through her and she winced, forced to lay back down as another little boy made his way into the world, this one tan like his new sister.

Moving....
The thought rippled through his subconcious as he realized that indeed, that was what was happening.
The tiny body of the cub squirmed as Tanashita cleaned him, attempting to return the cleaning with a flickering tongue, his tiny paws pushing out in front of him, as if searching for contact with another being, pressing gently against his older sister's side, before stopping and letting out a helpless sounding attempt at a mewl.
(( Hee~ <3 *couldn't help it* ))

Kifijo growled a happy 'hello' to his daughter and son, not taking his eyes off Tana. As the two new boys emerged into the world, his tail flicked happily and helped to nudge them both towards Tana's waiting milk.
She didn't look finished. Her belly still bulged a bit and her face hadn't reached the relaxed pose that it had when the first three were born. Moyo smiled in relief, knocking Bakari on the shoulder playfully. She took a seat a few feet away; the smell of birthing was strong and unusual.
Wait a minute. Mother had said she had a new...sister? She wasn't the only girl anymore!
Two new cubs suddenly entered, and she heard her father mutter: "Boys. Two more boys," under his breath.
Two little brothers.
A little sister.
Amazing.

When the little cub had taken her first breaths she had felt something soft and warm against her body which soothed her and made her feel safe, though it had disappeared as soon as it had begun.
Not wanting it to stop she began crawling to try and find the source of the pleasant feelings, and after what felt like an eternity she found something furry and warm. It was not the same thing, but the small cub placed herself as close to it as she possibly could and pressed her body against it anyway. Not knowing it yet, she had placed herself next to Tanashita's stomach, and the warmth of her mother spread through the cub's body.
The little cub laid there for a while, warm and satisfied, while gently starting to open her eyes. It would take some time for her eyes to fully see the surroundings, right now all she could see were blurry things.
(( My first birth RP!! xD; Hope I did ok ;D ))

Tanashita smiled and watched as the family was together again. A flash of pain went through her heart at the thought of her lost son; perfectly in tune with the flash of pain that went through her body. She shivered, overwhelmed with it all, and laid back down.
As the mother pushed out the final cub, she smiled gratefully and started to clean them all once more. The last one out of her full tummy looked much like Bakari and Kif, and she smiled at the diversity of them all. She watched as they began to crawl around for the first time, and she felt full to bursting with love for all the lions present.

When the small lion cub was about to get licked a second time she saw a blurry image of her mother's tongue coming towards her and tried to catch it with her tiny paws, but she missed it and her paws hit the ground instead. Confused about what had just happened the small creature sat still while dirt and other things got removed from her fur by her mother's licks.
It didn't take long until she started crawling around investigating everything around her. She still couldn't see clearly, which made her small head hit some of the obstacles around her, one being her father's paw. When she reached his paw she tilted her head back and followed the contours (outlines?) of the big lion until she fell backwards and landed on her back with her four legs in the air while making a sound to let the others know she wasn't enjoying the situation she had gotten herslef into.

Kifijo chuckled and nudged one of the little females back to her mother's side. His gently muzzle scootched her on the soft dirt of the den and onto the mossy bed Tana occupied.
"Now, now," he said with a chuckle, "no exploring until you've opened your eyes completely. Otherwise you'd be blind as a bat."
His words rang true, but not for this little girl.

Bakari watched with a grimaced face as the birthing continued, before sulking angrily as the cubs moved and wiggled around, mewing helplessly. How dare his mother and father have cubs and not even tell them before they wanted more? Had he been such a bad son that perhaps they thought the next litter would be more perfect?
The adolescent snorted as Moyo shouldered him, only scooting into an edge of the cave. He flinched as he saw himself squirming down there. A male cub, who looked almost exactly like him, was curling up next to his mother. Brat. He was here first. Well. Second, actually. But he was older than this... this... generic rip-off of a baby brother!
"Great.." he muttered, rolling his eyes. He turned around, and began to pad out of the cave, sulking and feeling confused, angry, and hurt all at the same time.
