Karah was alone in her large den. She hadn't let Reaich enter it for a few days. She refused to yelp at the sharp pain in her stomach. She pushed hard and couldn't help but yelp as the pain grew. She pushed once again and sobbed as a female emerged. She pushed again, but nothing happened. The pain grew and grew until she let out a loud cry. She pushed hard and a larger male appeared. She licked both the pups to get them to breathe. She smiled as the larger one squealed, but then her eyes moved toward the smaller one. It was barely breathing, but at least it was breathing. She nuzzled it closer to her and tried to let it nurse. The pup searched for the milk and finally was able to nurse. She picked up the large one and put it down next to the small one. She frowned as the larger one pushed the little one away from her mother. Karah pushed the large one away from the little one, trying to keep the little one from starving. She was going to have a hard time keeping the largest from pushing the littler one away from the milk. She watched them for a while and once the larger pup had fallen asleep she curled around them.

Reich came in the cave, worried. "Is everything allright in here?", he asked, worried. He then noticed the pups. "They look just like you!", he said, and smiled happily at the newborn pups. He then noticed the runt. "Do you think she'll live?"

Karah growled softly, but then stopped herself. "I don't know, but I'm going to try my best to keep her alive," she said. She smiled at the sight of him. Despite her not letting him enter, she had truly missed him. "What will we name them?" she asked, wagging her tail slightly.

Reich smiled; he had missed Karah. "I like the name Jasmine for the little one, but do you?", he asked, and wagged his tail slowly.

"It suits her well," replied Karah, "How 'bout Allin for the larger one?" She licked his nose and watched the pups, pushing the larger one away from the smaller to stop her from pushing her little sibling out of the way.

Sure. Reich was giddy with happiness. "I can't believe we're finally a family!", He whispered happily in her ear.

"Me, too," she said softly. She licked the pups gently.

Reich said, " I guess we'll have to keep them warm for the first few nights.", and with that, he curled up next to Karah, licked the pups, then licked her.

Reich awoke earlir than usual next morning. He stretched happily, then checked on the pups. Both were fine, and breathing. He smile joyiously, then looked adoringly at Karah. He then went outside to hunt. He caught a gigantic male deer, and dragged it back to the den. He started to eat, firguring that Karah should sleep in.

Karah slept, ignoring the tempting smells of meat. She absentmindedly twitched her nose at the scent, but didn't wake. Only when Allin crawled blindly away from her and squealed did she wake. She crawled over to the kill and ate. She put the pups beside her as she ate. She was glad she had a mate to help take care of the pups.

Reich smiled happily at the pups, and Karah. So, how is the little one doing? He smiled at them, and licked the pups.

"They're both doing fine," she replied. She had no idea how she knew, but she knew. She licked her lips and then licked the pups.

Reich ate a bit more of the deer, then sat down next to the pups. He nuzzled them affectionatly, and licked Karah on the nose.

She couldn't wait until the pups were old enough to venture out into the open. She lay her head across the pups. She was still tired from giving birth and she slept.
