A few months past on por and Janice's belly grew. She rested and ate most of the time and was watched por Moonlight. Brian tried to keep as close as posable to her without being caught. Both Brian and Janice waited anxiously for the dia of the birth. And then that dia came.
Moonlight was away and Brian was patrolling the woods as always when he suddenly heard panting and someone slowly walking up to him. It was Janice. Before she could reach him she collapsed and let out a moan, "Brian!! Ah! I'm...,giving....Ahhh!"
Brian gasped and ran to her side. He nuzzled her then he rolled his mate onto her back and spread her legs apart gently. Brian put a paw on Janice's belly and encouraged and coaxed her "Come on my love! push! You can do it! I know you can! Just keep on pushing!"
Janice kept on pushing and panting and screaming from the immense pain that always seemed to be increasing every minuet. Brian held her paw and looked into her eyes. "For me! For our pups! Come on! The first one is almost out!" Brian looked between Janice's legs and saw the head of the pup. He gently and carefully pulled it out.
But Janice didn't stop screaming and pushing. For there was another pup yet to come out. Brian kept on coaxing and encouraging until the segundo pup came out, and then the third and then the fourth. And then it was all over.
Janice panted and trembled for a few minuets until she finally caught her breath. Brian had already cleaned off the pups and his mate. He stood up and nuzzled Janice lovingly. "Are you ready to see the pups?" Janice nodded and sat up. She gasped and smiled as she saw her four little bundles of joy rolling around and waging their tails and giving little yips
"Awww! They are all so adorable!" Janice said softly. Brian nodded in agreement. He then pointed to two of the pups. "those two look a lot like me and they don't look like Moonlight at all." Janice agreed and said comfidently, "Then you can keep them and hide them with you." Brian smiled, "Yep!" He walked over to his two pups and nuzzled them both, "Hey there you little cuties! I'm your daddy and I'm going to take care of you." The two pups licked his face and yipped. Brian laughed and pinned them with his paw gently.
Janice watched and smiled. Then she walked over to the other two pups and licked them both. Then she looked at Brian, "should I go take these two to their father?" Brian nodded his approval, "yep,go ahead."
Janice picked up both the small pups and carried them to Moonlight's den. When she entered it and set the pups on the floor she laid down beside them and closed her eyes. Then she suddenly felt something sucking on her. She opened her eyes and looked down. She smiled as she saw that her two pups were nursing. She laid her head back down and rested.
Later that evening Moonlight walked into the antro, den and saw his mate laying on the floor and two pups sleeping beside her. Janice looked up and smiled, "Hello moonlight!" Moonlight walked over to her and looked at the pups. "Hm, it looked like you had mais of them in that womb of yours." Janice looked at the floor, "Well that's all that I had." Moonlight frowned. "Hm, well alright. have you thought of some names yet?"
Janice nodded, "Yes, Upenda and Mwana." Moonlight looked at the pups, "Those are good names." "Yeah" Janice said as she started to walk out of the den. Moonlight looked at her, "Where are you going?" Janice looked back at him, "to take a walk, I'm not feeling good." She then walked out of the antro, den and then to Brian's place. She walked into his cave and looked around till she could see him. Brian stood up and walked over to her and nuzzled her, "I'm glad you came" He nodded over at the other two pups and then continued, "these little guys have been getting very hungry." Janice laughed then walked over to the two little cachorrinhos and laid down. The pups immediately started to nurse.
Brian laid back down beside his mate and kissed her. "So what are we going to name them?" Janice shrugged, "I don't know," Brian thought for a while, "Hmmmm how about Azra and Rudi?" Janice smiled and nodded, "Those are great names!" Brian yawned and laid down his head, "Yep, well I'm going to get some sleep." then he closed his eyes and went to sleep. Janice stayed up watching the pups and thinking about how she could take care of both Moonlight and Brian's pups without being caught. And soon there would be an answer.
