Chami cringed violently.
She lying inside the cave, napping after a tiring expodition for herbs, when she felt the contractions spasm through her abdomen. She was huge compared to her normal slim self and she began to breathe rapidly, trying some way to help relieve the pain. Was it time already? The black lioness moved her swollen body to the side and she began to cry out for an airy voice for her beloved Mteuli. The sun was setting and the sky was a blood bath of colors and colored clouds.
"Mteuli! Mteuli, where are you? I need you, Mteuli!" She begged the soft dusk, "Please...It's happening..."
[[Finally. O____o]]

During the last few weeks Mteuli had refused to wander too far from his love. Call it paranoia, but he didn't want anything to happen to her in any sort of absence on her part. So when she called out to him he was quick to respond. He had only been a few feet away from the den, and his alert ears had picked up her voice and how her breath seemed to catch. He moved smoothly into the den, rushing to her side. Those unfamiliar with him would have thought him graceful, but there was tensious and nerves written in the way his muscles tightened. He offered her a warm, reassuring smile despite the quickening of his heart. It was time. "I'm here, dearest," he soothed, rubbing his cheek against hers.

The black lioness sighed in relief and she let her body relax and move with the painful flow of the birth. Her stomach twitched and her claws were digging fiercely into the soft dirt of their den as she squeezed her blue sky eyes shut with pain. Craning her neck to press against Mteuli's, the chemist took comfort in the fact that her beloved was there and she continued to let herself be swept away by the miracle of birth.
A tight screaming pain and the first of the cubs was released from the hot womb of their mother. Chamiyu gave a low growl of agony and began breathing hard again as the next one made its way down the canel. The black velvet ears upon Chami's head flattened and she pressed her face more into Mteuli's soft furr. Another searing rip of pain and the birth was complete. Two cubs lay writhing in their thin sacks upon the floor. Relieved after all the afterbirth had finished, Chami craned her head and picked up the cubs with her soft maw, one by one, and placed them in between her stomach and Mteuli who was standing protectively nearby. Licking them lovingly, the new mother cleaned away their sacks and the entire birthing routine was complete.
Sighing tiredly, Chami nuzzled the cubs to her stomach where they began to hungrily feed upon her milk. Leaning into Mteuli's furr, Chami let her eyes droop with weariness and she whispered, "Here, Mteuli my love, your children...They're here...They're beautiful..."

Mteuli remained by Chamiyu's side during the entire process of labor. He gave off the best soothing, clam demeanor he could, though inside he was a knot of nerves. When the last cub had been born and Chami made it obvious she was done he let out a breath he hadn't noticed he had held. He nuzzled close to her as he looked down at their children with a warm, proud smile. Two little girls. The prettiest little girls he had ever seen. "That's because they have a beautiful mother," Mteuli purred affectionately as he rubbed his cheek against the side of her face.
The little red and black girl wriggled and mewled before settling down to suckle at her mother's milk with contentment. She knew nothing of the worth, only the sudden chill of the air, the warmth of her mother nearby, and the sweet taste of food that eased her belly aches and let her lull off nicely.

Confused and somewhat out of place, she feels the texture of the ground below her. Moving her limb, twitching them to move in the direction of the warmth of a familiar heart beat that she has heard before. She finally edges her way to her mother’s stomach and searches for the milk, bumping next to an also familiar touch of a second lion, but small like her. As she drinks from her mother, the thick warm milk clenches her thirst and hunger as it flows down her throat, into her stomach and with a great sigh of life, she is full, and falls to sleep.

Chamiyu smiled softly at her two new children and she watched them with a love and hope and pride that swelled without limits. Tired, the black lioness leaned into her beloved and smiled up at him, licking his chin gently from where she laid. Her entire body was tired and she closed her eyes.
"Watch over us, Mteuli? While I rest...I'm so tired..." she asked softly, even though she knew that she wouldn't have to. Lying her head upon her mate's chest as he laid nearby, Chamiyu finally fell into a deep and tired sleep, a permanent smile fixed onto her black maw.
