If You Feel My Love

Chapter Twenty-Two: Giving Birth

The last few weeks of Analisa pregnancy passed quickly and soon her due date arrived, she watched as Morgana asked Fernando to leave the room while she helped Analisa give birth.

The brunette moaned softly in pain as another contraction made its way through her body, she knew that her babies were ready to come into the world; the brunette closed her eyes as she took a deep breath.

Morgana looked at the brunette, she smiled sadly knowing that today would be hard on Analisa; they had discussed what was going to happen today.

“How are you feeling?” Morgana asked as she checked the brunette over, she tilted her head as she looked at the young woman; she had warned about the birth, it had become apart that while she had two live pups that she was carrying; there was also a stillborn pup that she was carrying.

Morgana had done a proper check over the brunette once everything in the new world had fallen into place, where it had become clear that Analisa had been pregnant at one point with four pups.

The first pup had been lost in the very early stages of the pregnancy, possibly around the time that Analisa had been separated from Fernando; the stress that the brunette had been through had affected the majority of her pregnancy.

The second pup that she had lost hadn't been miscarried like the first and it’s body would have to be pushed into the world like its siblings; it had died before it had developed properly and Morgana had noted that it had probably been the stress that her body had been under that had killed the unborn pup.

“How is this going to work?” Analisa asked as she took a deep breath, she knew that this wasn’t going to be easy; Fernando had wanted to be with her when the pups were born but Morgana wouldn’t allow it.

“The stillborn pup will probably be the first born… I know that it will be hard when that one arrives, it will be silent and it’ll probably take a lot out of you before the two live pups are born; they will be in wolf form so it’ll probably be hard on your body,” Morgana said as she helped Analisa onto the bed.

The brunette was wearing a blue woven stripe nightshirt; she licked her lips nervously knowing that it could be a while before the pups made their appearance.

Analisa cried out in pain as she continued to push, Morgana stood between her legs while Morgause held her hand; the two women coached her through what was happening to her.

“Come on Analisa, one more big push,” Morgana said as she glanced up at the brunette, she knew that this was hard on Analisa but they were only just beginning and there was still a long way to go.

The brunette almost sighed into relief as she pushed the first pup into the world, Analisa closed her eyes as silence filled the room; she blinked back tears as she listened to Morgana move to place the child to the side.

“What is it?” Analisa said as she looked at the woman that held the stillborn pup, she knew that there would be time later to sort out what she wanted to do with her dead child but she wanted to know.

“It’s a boy,” Morgana said softly as she looked over at Analisa, she knew that this was hard for the brunette but they now needed to focus on the two pups that were alive; she covered the stillborn pup with a blanket before she moved back to her job as a midwife.

Analisa took a deep breath as she felt another contraction, she looked at Morgana as she continued to encourage the brunette; the other pup was moments from being born.

“That’s it Analisa keep pushing,” Morgana encouraged her, the two priestesses looked at one another as the brunette cried out in pain as the next pup was pushed into the world.

“Congrats it’s a boy,” Morgana said holding up a dark haired puppy, it squeaked and whimpered as it was separated from its mother; Analisa blinked back tears as she stared at her son, she couldn't believe that he had come into the world.

Morgause moved from the brunette’s side so that she could clean the pup up while Morgana continued to help Analisa through the birth; Analisa took a deep breath as she tried to calm herself before she pushed the next pup into the world.

The pup whimpered and whined as it was taken further away from its mother, Analisa wondered briefly if it knew who she was; she bit back a moan of pain as the contractions came back full force.

“Okay Analisa just a couple more pushes,” Morgana soothed as she wiped the brunette’s sweaty head before she moved to deliver the next pup; Analisa groaned in pain as she closed her eyes and started to push again, she could feel that it was nearly over and she couldn't wait for it to be over.

Morgana grinned after a couple more pushes, she smiled down at the bundle of slime that Analisa had pushed into the world; the brunette leaned back as she felt her energy leave her completely.

“Congrats it’s a girl,” Morgana said beaming up at the brunette as she wiped down the pup that had lighter fur than her brother; she squeaked softly until with her brother she was reunited with her mother.

Fernando looked at Morgana concerned as she stepped out the bedroom, he watched her as Morgause headed downstairs with the stillborn pup; he knew he’d have to deal with things later but right now his main focus were Analisa and the two living pups.

The high priestess smiled as she approached the werewolf, his hearing was focused on what was happening in the bedroom.

“Congratulations, a healthy boy and girl,” Morgana said making Fernando sigh in relief as she stepped aside to allow him to check on his mate and pups; he looked at her for a moment before slipping away to check on them.

Fernando smiled softly as he stepped into the room, his ears perked at the sound of the pups feeding while Analisa rested; he slowly made his way over to his wife, who offered him a tired smile.

“You okay?” Fernando said as he sat down beside her, the brunette was resting on her side facing him; she nodded her head tiredly as she opened her eyes and looked at him.

The werewolf smiled before he turned his attention to the pups, he was pleased that they were doing so well; he watched them for a moment before his attention turned back to Analisa, who had closed her eyes again.

“What do you want to call them?” Fernando asked as he carefully moved to settle behind her, he rested his head on her shoulder watching the pups as they cuddled against their mother’s stomach as they settled down.

“Josep Nicolas and Emili Anastasia,” Analisa murmured making Fernando nod his head as pressed a kiss to her bare shoulder; she made a small noise in the back of her throat.

The werewolf nuzzled her shoulder, he closed his eyes as he rested against her; he would have to get up and deal with their stillborn pup, they would have to make arrangements for his burial and decided if they wanted any memories of their first born son.
