The world spun in circles around her most days now, the children played together, and she helped them hunt when they needed the help, but most days, Cadeyrn and Berwyn helped her hunt for food. The depression sunk in at a fast pace, it had felt as if her whole world had come crashing down in a matter of days. They had begun to speak of children together--and the times they had actually attempted to concieve, and then, days later, she had found him, so far past gone that it was as if he had died soon after their last meeting. Her heart had shattered that day, leaving herself a ruin of who she used to be. Sabriel was gone, and now if they had a litter, they would be fatherless.

It didn't feel like it had really been that long ago, but now, as her stomach had the soft rounding of a very small litter, it hit even more, knowing that she was due to give birth to her second litter of pups any day now, and she was all alone. It was different than the first time, Nathaniel hadn't been around when their pups were born, of his own choosing, not because his life had been cut short.

IT was a sudden shar pain that cut across her sides, and she knew that the times of new life was upon her, and she had told the pups that they were free to do whatever they wished of that day, sending them off on their own, unsure how this whole ordeal would go this time around. It seemed as if hours had passed as she felt the pains come and go, her breathing becoming uneven and jagged as the hours drew on. A few more hours passed before the sleek white female pup was born, lone and a single birth, the girl was baring the similar markings that Anemone herself had, only in a light brown shade instead of gold. She was small, but, as was Anemone, but she was healthy, as far as Anemone could tell.

She cleaned the pup up, bringing the small girl closer to her chest, feeling the small girl nuzzle around and finally find the glory gold, latching on and suckling as if her world depended on it. Which, it did. Jubilee, she would be.
