Town Hall

Mika nodded "Will do, not running any marathons." she sighed as her muscles tensed up again. She looked up "Doing good" she lied slightly to Sefiroso. She was actually feeling more edgy but he was new and she didn't want to worry anyone. She listened slightly to thier intro's but kept pacing rubbing her back. She sat down and then got up again walking.

"I spose she would be...we could always dye her" She laughed "She must be of the arctic breed huh?" She asked as she got up and her dress danced along her slender figure. "Moon?" she had to chuckle, she never really saw him angry "I found him here actually, the day my brother was barried up on the hill. He was just a tiny cub. He is rather unusual, he has long fangs" she stated and pulled Moon close. "see" She said as she lifted up Moon's lip.
~Hey~ he shook his head and grumbled ~that's not nice~
~Sorry~ she put a hand to her mouth and giggled "He is however a wonderful hunter"

Sefiroso looks at Lux trying to remember exactly where they met "oh thats right...yes it was farther north... i was traveling with my parents then...other than that i can't remember the exact place"
~hmm... you do have a terrible memory~
~haha Yeah that i do my friend that i do~
With that Lux would curl up next to Sefiroso's feet and watch Moon and Gladrial

"Well she seems less nervous" She stepped closer to him and whispered. Moon walked over to where Rial had set her stuff and and used her bed roll as a head rest.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Are you hungry?"

Sefiroso would then smile as he replied "Me? not really, but i don't know about Lux"
~he is lieing to you. He fell out of a tree while trying to get us food... he is a bit of a clutz when it comes to heights but he insists on hunting while jumping through the trees~

~gosh Lux did ya have to bring that one up~ he says while laughing

Moon reitterated what Lux said to Rial
"Well then breakfast it is" I smiled and dashed out to the stables where the chicken coop was located. She came back with half a dozen eggs. In the large fire place she started up a fire with two pieces of flint and placed a pan on the rack. As it warmed up she rubbed a block of grease on it and cracked 3 of the eggs on it. She then scrambled them and placed a variety of vegetables in it that she brought with from her travels to the other village. Then she put in some jerky and let it cook a bit longer to soften it up. "Here you go" She dished it up and handed it to him "I hope it's to your liking."
She then knelt down beside Lux and gave him a large chunk of jerky. She then looked over at moon ~Why don't the two of you go hunt here in a little bit~
Moon looked over at Lux ~Would you like to see what we can catch a bit later?~

Mika saw the food but her stomach turned. She continued pacing. She walked to the window and hoped Saron would come back with the cradle soon. She felt this urge to have everything in place. She went back to her bed and looked at some of the baby clothes she had sewn and knitted. Put them away again and paced out in the main part of the hall again. She tensed as more contractions hit and then sighed softly as they released. She frowned and kept walking.

Sefiroso sits down on the otherside of Lux "thank you for the food it smells delicious" he said as he took a bite and began eating
~hmm yes a hunt does sound nice today. oh and thanks for the meat~ said Lux as she began to clean her muzzle and paws
~hmm Lux when you do go hunting watch out for wolves will ya? you do have no way of hiding without the snow~
~I am sure moon is quite capable of taking care of any wolves~

Sefiroso watches as Mika walks into the hallway "i do hope she will be alright she seems a bit restless..."

~A hunt it is~ he nodded grinned ~No worries, no wolfs will harm you, I can assure you that~ ge grinned again exposing his large teeth. With large paws he padded over to where he lay prior to the smell of the food.
"Yes, she's due any day now" Rial said putting her plate down and walking to Mika "Are they still coming?" she asked refering to the contractions

Mika nodded "Ya" she said quietly "They are getting stronger" she admitted

Sefiroso looks at Mika as his eyes flash he comes up with a plan "i hope the child comes without any complications" Lux then looks at mika and walks over to her and curls up at her feet

Mika smiled at the little fox. She knelt to pet it before walking on again.

Sefiroso would then smile remembering something "i just realized mika wheres whisper off to?"
Lux looks up at Mika with a questioning look

"Hmm? Oh probably playing with Samba or something" Mika chuckled

~Well, ummm,ummmm Should we go hunt?~ Moon asked nervously. He had beena round women close to labor before, he knew this atmosphere all to well, and he knew how they acted all to well ~Best if we weren't here, ask your master to leave too~ He asked nicely

"Mika, I think we need to get you ready!" She said with a proffessional voice.

Mika sighed "I'm fine really. I don't want to lay down" she grumbled and kept walking

Lux jumped up ~yes good idea Moon lets get out of here i sense if we wait too long we won't catch a thing. Sefiroso you should come as well~ Sefiroso looks at Lux a bit shocked "it seems Lux wishes for me to leave as well... I will hopefully be back if or when you have your child tonight"
With that Sefiroso and Lux run out the door raceing eachother

------------->Forest

Mika nodded "Thank you" she said kindly and then kept pacing trying to keep Rial from taking her to bed.

Rial placed her fist on her hips "BED...NOW" She smiled "Mika the baby is on it's way I can almost guarantee it, you need to lay down unless you want to rupture something" she didn't want to scare her but it was true.

Mika rolled her eyes slightly. "I can't sit ok lay still" she insisted "it makes it worse" she grumbled a little irritated and kept walking, although a little slower now.

"Mika, I swear, If you don't listen to me i'll have to go get Saron, and you don't want that" She grumbled "Now lay down!!" She said placing a few pillows at the lower back region and placing two waist high book shelves on each side of the end of the bed.

Mika clenched her jaw slightly and glared "What's he going to do? Tie me to the bed?" she retorted but came and sat down. She abruptly stood up again "See it doesn't help" she said edgy

"It's not supposed to help!" She raised her voice "And yes Saron will tie you to the bed. Do you want to lose this one too?" Rial looked at her with fury in her eyes "If you don't lie down right here right now, there is no telling to what kind of knots you will have around that babies neck."

Mika flinched "Fine" she grumbled and laid down with a sigh. She tensed up as another contraction hit after a few moments it dissipated. She closed her eyes and then opened them again. "If it's not supposed to help, then what is the point?" she snapped slightly "ahh" she said quietly as another one hit. She grimaced and then relaxed again.

"The point is...That the baby is coming, and if you are up and about wondering around there is no way that Jason will come out alive. The cord will wrap around his neck and sufficate him before he can even take his first breath of life. Do you understand me? Now breathe" Rial began to breath like Mika should. "Now keep doing that while i get some water put on to boil and find some towels and rags."
