~~~ Delivery

From Barnards star to Luyten 726-8A was much the same though shortly after they'd translated out Mila had to mewl in a sudden pain, "How the hell did mom do this several times?" She hoped Nacy wasn't going to end up in labor at the same time. She'd asked her to be with her. There was no way she could ask Kyrill. The other she could ask for was Carol. She was her back up but she'd prefer Nacy, *Nacy, it's time. I'm in labor.*

It only took a moment for her and Kyrill to come to her room. He wasn't going to go into the delivery room, but he was going to help get her to medical. When it came to delivery's only the mate could be in the room or he'd get attacked as a threat. Nacy being female and pregnant wasn't a threat and she was related. She grabbed the small bag and the two helped her to medical. Pregnant she-cats tended to want to prowl and find the perfect place to deliver. Eventually they'd end up on the delivery table since their mate and human side would demand it.

Few humans would appreciate delivering laying on the floor. Their cats might not, but the human not happening. When they walked into medical one of the nurses smiled, "I'll show you to the room and then you can help her wander the halls until it's time." The medical staff had been well briefed, so she let the three walk around after showing them the room. She was keeping an eye on them and had to smile when Kyrill remain outside the room when she went in and prowled around inside.

Eventually she was ready, and they finally entered the room and shut the door. She had to yowl since she wanted Holcum there to be see their kits. It was also because they tended to hold their mates as she labored. Nacy obviously couldn't help she was going to deliver soon herself.

When there was a knock on the door both snarled and Carol poked her head in, "I thought you might appreciate someone to hold you while you deliver. The doctor will be in shortly to help you deliver." She sniffed, and it was obvious it wasn't going to be very long.

Mila burst into tears and nodded. Carol settled behind her and held her as a female human doctor walked in. Human's weren't normally considered to be a threat, "She's going to start delivering within the next ten minutes. Be quick as you deal with the babies since we tend to deliver quickly."

She nodded, "Nacy can help me unless she decides to go into labor." She settled down and Mila was already dressed for delivery. She was wearing a long loose shirt and panties with ties to make them easy to get off. As mentioned, the kittens were delivered within minutes of each other. Their umbilical cords had been quickly cut before handing the kittens to Nacy to wrap and place in a large bassinet. By the time they were done she was sweating, "I'm going to give them a good exam. Carol would mind remaining with her to help as needed?"

"Cheerfully doctor." She was still holding Mila as she was panting and gave her a light hug, "Need to come up with names but it can wait for a few minutes while you recover."

She shook her head, "Holcum, Leonardo, and Raven." She sniffed each child as she named them. She couldn't help the quiet yowl to keep from waking them.

Nacy had to make a face, "My turn doctor." She'd been ignoring the growing labor pains and could feel Kyrill almost growling in the back of her mind.

"Oh goodness, next room over. I know Kyrill is going to be right outside the door. Go, and I'll be in momentarily." She ended up giving the kittens a brief exam and would need to come back later. She almost ran out of the room and found Nacy only had a few minutes. She should chastise her for waiting so long but knew Nacy wouldn't have left.
