[Time passed, n it was soon almost Wander's due date, tho he's not showing signs of labour yet. Late one night, as everyone was sound asleep, Wander was curled up under the bed in his nest sleeping as usual]
Hater: (in his bed, snoring) |-)
Wander: [woke up to the feeling of cramping in his belly, bt tries to ignore it n goes bk to sleep]
Hater: Mmm...zzz...more cheese on that...zzz...
Wander: [felt it again, wincing as he felt something inside him pop n wet the cloak nest he was lying in]
Hater: ...(yawn) (heard noises from the nomad and leans over the side to see him) Wander?
Wander: [had his head buried in the cloaks, biting dwn as he was on all fours, instincts telling him to start pushing as he ignored Hater]
Hater: :O Whoa. (gets out of bed kneeling next to Wander) The babies...?? Wander??
Wander: [growled as he pushed dwn, biting onto the cloaks to muffle his voice]
Hater: (isn't sure what he should do, let Wander do his thing or help him out somehow)
Wander: [pretty much ignoring him as he did wat instincts told him to do, pushing dwn at each contraction as if second nature to him]
[The book the hat gave Hater was just nearby]
Hater: Oh right. (gives it a read)
Page: Wen the due date arrives, the mother will knw instinctively wat to do during the birth. The father will usually give their moral support n not bother the mother while they r giving birth. A Star Nomad usually gives birth to a litter of 5 to 6 babies, in rare cases up to 8. The babies r born wrapped up in a birth sac, so it is the father's job to pull the sac cord out of the mother's birth canal to make way for the next baby n to tear out the sac so that the baby can take its first breath
Hater: ...Okay, I can do this. (kneels a little away from Wander, giving him encouragement)
Wander: [bit dwn harder onto the nest of cloaks, pushing with the contractions, occasionally letting out a whine of pain, bt he soldiered thru]
Hater: You got this, Wan...you got this...
Wander: [his eyes widened as he could feel the first baby coming out, breathing heavily as he gripped onto the nest tightly]
Hater: Easy does it...
Wander: [pushed one final time n the first baby slid out, sac n all, n as the book described, it was still connected to Wander via the sac cord thru Wander's vagina]
Hater: (does what the book says, gently pulling away the cord and then set to helping their first pup out of its sac)
Pup #1: [wheezed a little before squealing out its first breath once the sac was removed, n it revealed to be a Star Nomad with white fur, tho its eyes r fused shut at the moment, like a newborn kitten]
Hater: Got you, kiddo... (sets it carefully near Wander)
Wander: [pants hard as he tries to recuperate, then sees the pup n licked at its face tenderly before he got distracted with another contraction, whining as he continued pushing]
Hater: (thinks; more on the way) (gets to encouraging Wander again)
Wander: [pushed with evry contraction, letting out the occasional whine n moans, then soon within 15 mins, the second one came sliding out]
Hater: (repeats what he did with the first pup)
[for the nxt couple of hrs, Wander kept going with Hater helping him on the sidelines, tho aftr each pup, Wander was getting more n more tired n each pup taking a bit longer to come out coz of his fatigue. Finally it was dwn to the last pup]
Wander: [was panting n sobbing, lying on his side, face drenched with tears n sweat, unable to carry on as he kept crying n shaking his head "no"]
Hater: :( (gently strokes Wander's face to comfort him)
Wander: [winced at the contraction, sobbing hard] I... can't...
Hater: ...You can...just one more... :(
Wander: I...can't~~ ;( [crying so hard he was hiccuping; he was so tired]
Hater: (still stroking Wander's face, leaning in to give him a gentle kiss)
Wander: [stretched out his arms, wanting to finally get out frm under the bed, wanting Hater to hold him]
Hater: (cradles Wander gently in his arms)
Wander: [sobs hard in his arms, wincing again at the contraction, shaking his head] Hurts... Can't... Pls... Make...stop...
Hater: (rubs his stomach to help him) It's okay...you can do this...it'll all be over soon...
Wander: [clinging onto Hater for dear life, he tried to push along with the contraction n with Hater's rubbing, sobbing as he does so]
Hater: (made hushing noises, rubbing both his belly and back)
Wander: [whined out loud as the rubbing did the job, feeling the last pup's head peeking out btwn his legs]
Hater: Almost there...
Wander: [bit dwn onto Hater's jammie cloak as he made tht one final push] Unnggffhhh!!!
Hater: There we go. (helps the last pup out of its sac)
Wander: [fell bk n slumped onto Hater's lap, panting hard, relieved tht it was finally ovr]
Hater: (helps the pup to breath) Come on...
[aftr a few mins of rubbing, the final pup finally took its first breath, squealing out loud]
Wander: [could barely stay awake bt tries to as he wants to see his litter]
Hater: (kneels down to carefully gather the rest of the pups from underneath his bed and sets them near Wander)
Wander: [turns slowly to see tht he had given birth to 6 pups altogether, 3 nomads n 3 skeletors respectively, tho unlike being bald as all skeletors do, the skeletor pups hv hair on their heads] Nnnhh... My puppies...
Hater: Our puppies... :) (smiles happily at the sight of his children)
Wander: [his eyes got heavier n heavier until he passed out frm fatigue]
Hater: (pets Wander's head gently) You did well, Wander... (kisses his forehead) So well...
[all the pups also yawned, tired frm being put thru the wringer]
Hater: (smiles, petting their tiny heads before falling into deep sleep himself)
