"Y’know, when people told that ti would pass quickly because of you five, I never really believed them... I an, sure, I’d be kept busy, but Goddess above you five are just..."
Shaking my head and letting out a sigh, I stared at each of my pups before hoisting them up one by one, plopping them into their crib for their midday nap and trying to get my own in before sothing else happened.
Of course the instant I dropped them onto their fluffy bedding with all their favorite toys and lit the soothing, wonderfully scented incense stick nearby, all five of them threw their little heads back and just started screaming.
Getting older had sohow just enlarged their batteries by an impossibly high amount despite not being that old just yet, and as such every single ti I thought they might just be worn out... they proved completely and utterly wrong.
Letting out another sigh, I just stared at the five of them for few monts before erecting a gentle wind barrier around them, trapping the noise to just the crib and causing to smile gently as peace and quiet descended around once more.
Being able to just silence the noise like that was honestly such a cheat that I almost felt guilty doing it, yet when I saw them just wailing in there I shook my head yet again and leaned back in the chair, taking a few monts of peace now that I had them.
One eye was left cracked open so that I could make sure they weren’t actually upset, and seeing that they were slowly winding down I let out another sigh, only to jolt upright when a sharp scream echoed through the house once again.
For a split second I thought my spell had sohow failed, but when that scream was imdiately followed by a long string of expletives I imdiately realized what was happening... because Anput never shouted like that even when she accidentally shattered her work into hundreds of dangerous little shards.
Even when she had dropped a hamr on her foot and failed to really react in ti because she was worried about the still hot weapon in her hand she had never shouted this loudly, so that ant that right now... she was going into labor.
Indecision grabbed ahold of right then since I couldn’t just leave my five pups here while I went to Anput, but I also really shouldn’t bring them with since seeing their Mom in such a state was... probably not a good idea.
As if sensing my indecision and deciding that it was useless, Leone rushed into the main room and began to arrange the bed while Jahi carried Anput inside, holding the writhing Jackalkin in her arms as she waited for the Vampire to get everything situated.
Seeing that, I rushed to grab all of the other things they might need before nodding when Jahi tilted her head towards the door, letting know through the Soul Bond that I needed to go inform the others about what was happening.
Finding Kavya took little ti, and the older Demoness rushed into the house without any hesitation, heading to help right away while I made my way to the Transportation Circle and began to activate it.
It was my first ti using it on my own so I wasn’t really certain of what I needed to do, but thankfully Cali appeared beside and murmured sothing before taking straight to the Palace, where I rushed into the throne room and interrupted whatever important eting was being held.
The Empress nodded and went to find her own Vampire while Lady Igna and Lady D’Arcon rushed to Anput and Leone imdiately; finding the Transportation Circle for the March, I glanced at Cali and watched as she rolled her eyes and murmured sothing else before being whisked away yet again.
Having your vision warp and your body tingle all over while also going numb and then on top of that flipping between being hot and cold was definitely... a sensation of all ti, but the concern I had outweighed all of that as I slamd Mom’s doors open and shouted "Anput’s in labor!"
The Demoness at the desk just looked up at before sighing, while Mother and Mother Ria nodded and followed behind ; we all went back to the Palace before splitting up again, because I had one final place to go...
The Sultanate’s heat hit like a hamr when I arrived, and I realized that they had placed their Transportation Circle outside in the middle of their large courtyard behind their ho, leaving to get beat down by the sun imdiately.
The guards on either side jumped and rushed to aim their spears at , but when I shouted "Anput’s in labor!" they both jumped again before one began to sprint towards the palace, only for them to be spun around when a blur zipped past them.
Lady Kio didn’t even say anything to , just activating that Transportation Circle and leaving there in a daze, while the Sultana arrived beside and gently walked back to it, her hand resting on the small of my back.
"When?"
We walked back through all of the Transportation Circles, and although I wanted to run the Sultana decided to take our ti instead, asking questions and waiting for answers as she kept her hand right where it was to prevent from leaving.
As we made it to the door she murmured "Trying not to overwhelm her would be best... so after I step inside to take a look-", to which I finally mustered the courage to shake my head and say "You aren’t going anywhere."
That surprised her, but she just shrugged, opened the door and imdiately got t with a loud "FUCK YOU!" before a book crashed into the wall beside us; we both slowly turned to see Anput heaving on the bed, her lips curled back in a snarl as she glared daggers at Kavya.
"Lady Anput, please, you need to-"
"NO! Give sothing already! This-! GODDESS ABOVE!"
Her pained shriek made flinch, though the mont she laid eyes on she cald down a little, only to stare right at and snarl "Get the fuck over here already!", her eyes flickering between obsidian and silver every few heartbeats.
When I arrived by her side she imdiately grabbed my hand and squeezed it, letting out another sharp cry as her stomach clenched and writhed around, giving a view of what I had gone through and causing to pale quite a bit.
Living it had been one thing, but as I sat here watching her... knowing that I couldn’t do much else for her... it was an entirely different batch of agony that washed over .
