The puppies were due any day now. Aviias could tell, call it a female's intuition. The puppies kicked more and more each day, clearly growing restless inside of her and wanting to be apart of the world. Her gut told her they would get their wish soon, but when was simply a guessing game. She was so nervous, a fear of the unknown ahead of her. Yet, she was not going to be facing this new chapter in her life alone, she had her ever faithful companion Guardian by her side. She had come to really care for him while he had taken care of her, even love him. She was just so insecure about her feelings, she could never bring it up to him because, well, what if he didn't like her back like that? She was going to be the mother of his pups, but still, she just couldn't get a read on his feelings.

She had since healed from her attack by Zeus, the only remaining evidence of her near death experience a scar on her leg where he had "marked" her. Despite the attack, so much good had come from it. She had settled in to Diveen without much problem, getting Achille's permission to stay and strive for the rank of guardian angel. She had gone back to Taviora for a short while, but to visit Shiloh on her wedding day. The shock on her best friend's face when she saw her and how big she was, pregnant with her cousin's puppies, was priceless. Once the puppies were born, Aviias knew she'd have to make many trips with them to taviora for them to meet their family in the forest. There was some of her family that she was not ready to meet: Guardian's parents. She still had time, but soon enough she would have to meet them, her children's grandparents.

A sharp pain, sends a wince of discomfort through her body. She had been laying outside the den, enjoying the beautiful spring day when the contractions started. Instinctively she lifted her head, calling out to Guardian for him to get his big butt over to the den. She needed him, to comfort her, to let her know everything was going to be okay, and to see the birth of their children. If any other healer in the pack managed to hear the call, they were also welcome to come, to make sure there were no complication, for if there were, she would not be able to help herself. Slowly she waddles into the den, pushing through the discomfort until she got to the plush bedding and could lay down. She was going to be here for a while, that was for sure.

Whimpers echoed in her chest as she pushed and pushed, trying to force the puppy out of her quicker to ease the pain. This puppy was large however and taking his time moving through her petite body, luckily for her not tearing her up along the way. After what seemed like an eternity, the first was born: A boy. She licked him clean, violet eyes looking over him for any problems, quick to notice his lack of a tail. It was peculiar, but he would be able to adjust and conquer without his tail. Regardless, she loved her little white, gray, and red boy, her chest swelling with love and pride as she pulls the boy into her side to feed. She turns to Guardian, a huge smile taking over her whole face as tears well up into her eyes with happiness. "What would you like to name your first born son?" she asked, wanting to allow Guardian the right to name his son.

It is not long before the contractions take hold again and she is forced back down, panting and whimpering in pain. Her body was beginning to exhaust itself and this pup was not being any quick out of the womb. It is just as long as the first, but eventually he too manages to find his way into the world. Once more Aviias is quick to clean him off, inspecting him for any health problems. This boy is a black and gray, marked with angel reds and, upon closer inspection, the same star dusting of his father. She smiles and places him at her side, next to his brother. "He shall be named Gendry, after the son my stepmother lost before she found me," she says, staring down at her son's wiggling, squeaking forms. They were both so handsome and would be as great as their father one day, making all the angel's proud.

Violet eyes shift to the large mass of Guardian, tears streaming down her face but good tears, happy tears. She had the biggest smile on her face and couldn't help but laugh a little bit. "I love our little family so much," she says, burying her head into his chest affectionately. She knew she was done, that their family was complete at two sons. She rests herself into him, completely and utterly exhausted, her strength having completely left her. "I love you Guardian," she whispers, just for him to hear. Maybe it was because she was so tired that it just slipped out, but she fell asleep shortly after it, not even thinking about it. The only thing she could think about were her too little boys that were curled up at her side and the angel she had curled herself in to.
