Wolfkin Part 13
The Birth
Quatre, Rion, and Liliandra were walking back to the Healer's hut when the Elf stopped suddenly. Tilting her head to the side a confused and concerned look crossed her face. "Strange." She murmured. "What is mother?" The human asked as he observed his mother's odd behavior. "I'm picking up panicked thoughts, but I can't seem to place them." Her brow creased as she tried to pin down the location of the distressed one. "MOTHER!" All three whirled in surprise to see Hisoka stumbling toward them, Tsuzuki trailing after him like a lost pup. Rion rushed to his younger brother's side and carried him to their mother.
"Hisoka? What is it?" Liliandra asked worried at the pained expression on her son's face. "It hurts so bad mama. Make it stop... please." Her little son whimpered and clutched his stomach as the pain intensified. "Shush little one. You've synchronized with someone. It's their pain you're feeling not your own. Can you tell me who it is Emerald leaf?" Hoping her old pet name for him would draw Hisoka out of his haze, Liliandra stroked her son's sweat drenched forehead. "Deep breaths 'soka-chan. Deep breaths, that's it relax. Good, now tell me who's in pain."
Quatre watched in fascination as Hisoka slowly came out of his trance and began to concentrate on finding the source of his agony. "It's Duo." He inhaled deeply and opened his bright green eyes. "His pup is coming." The Healer's jaws dropped as he realized the distance between themselves and the Alpha's hut would have made it impossible for him to sense his friend's pain, yet Hisoka seemed to have felt the full effect of Duo's birthing pains with no trouble.
He paused mid-thought. Duo's birthing pains! "OH MY GODS! WE HAVE TO FIND HEERO NOW!" He shrieked as the enormity of what that meant hit him. The Alpha's pups were about to be born and he was standing around staring at air. With that the little blonde took off at high speed toward Duo's burrow hoping he wasn't too late.
"Rion find the Alpha Male, Heero, and send him to us then guard the humans with extra care. We don't know if there are anymore and right now we can't afford an attack." The psychic nodded as he turned. "Yes mother." As he neared Duo's hut, Quatre began to feel his friend's pain as well, but it baffled him that the feeling was much duller than what Hisoka was obviously feeling. When he entered the burrow he headed straight to the bedroom, where he found Duo writhing on the bed, whimpering as he clutched his swollen stomach.

Heero was staring at the bright blue sky as he awaited the return of his scouts He'd been worried that perhaps there were still some human fools waiting to try and free their comrades. With Duo so close to birthing, he couldn't afford to take the chance that there were. Suddenly his entire body stiffened as he picked up the scent of a human closing in on him fast. He whirled around, drew his dagger and leapt at the intruder... only to be stopped mid-stab by a glowing purple shield surrounding the human.
"You must be Heero. My mother sent me to find you." Heero quirked an eyebrow as his intended victim smirked at him. "So you're the human psychic Rion." The human nodded. "That's right. And you're the Wolfkin who is about to miss the birth of his cubs if he doesn't move his ass and get to his mate." Heero's eyes widened drastically before rushed from the forest to his hut.
Upon entering his bedroom, he was shocked to see his little one laying on his back, knees bent and legs spread as he breathed deeply. Quatre was situated between his mate's legs and his Elven assistant sat next to him, hands hovering over his stomach, eyes closed. Her forehead creased as she looked toward Quatre. "The birthing canal is about to open." The Healer nodded as before returning his attention to Duo.
Heero grasped his mate hand in his own, pulling Duo's attention from his pain to his lover. "Hello little one." Duo smiled a strained smile as him mate petted his forehead. "Hi Hee-chan. I'm sorry, but our pup couldn't wait any longer to be born." Heero chuckled as he leaned in for a small kiss. "I know love, he can't wait to see you."
"Or you." The Delta managed to gasp he was taken by the pain again. "The canal's open." Quatre said a Liliandra handed him a towel before beginning to apply an herbal salve to Duo swollen stomach. Duo's breathing calmed as the salve began to take affect. "What is that?" He asked. "The pain is... dulled." Liliandra smiled slightly. "It's an old Elven remedy. We use this on our birthers during their time." At Quatre's expectant look she smiled. "Yes, I'll teach you the recipe."
It was only a few hours later that an exhausted Duo was finally able to hold his small son in his arms. "Hello sweet one." Heero nuzzled his love's hair as he watched him cradle his son. "Have you though of a name for him yet my heart?" Duo nodded as he yawned. "Tamerlyn. I've always liked that name." Heero hugged his mate to him as his love drifted off to sleep "He's just as beautiful as you are. My baby Lyn and my sweet Duo. The bearers of my heart."
