It's a promise for life - Birthing Thread

[Plexus]

The large Norwegian male made triple time to Brutei the moment he heard she was in labor. He kicked his mask away from himself in a fit of urgency and pulled out the bundled wraps for birthing. Schooling his breath, and his face, he took off as if a dog was on his heels. Within minutes, he made it, and quickly got to work, his only words spoken beforehand being "Breathe...push when told."

After the kittens were born, Plexus released a breath, counting all 4, and gently nosed them to check breathing. With a light sigh, he turned his face and chest away from the mother and lightly sat on his haunches, "...Congratulations are in order." His throat scratchy and quiet as he had to talk more than usual due to giving orders for the birthing. With his words stuck in his throat afterwards, Plexus began grooming hoping he could untangle the want to not speak as he heard Brutei murmur to the kits.

A long moment stretched as he heavily sighed, he needed to take his leave to leave them alone. His paws doing light movements as he spoke once again, the words being pulled like barbs from his sticky tongue, "...Check in when...I can." The Norwegian cat smoothed down his chest fur, stood, and went to leave once collecting scraps and tidying a bit, before pausing at the den entrance, "...Anything needed?"
