What if she hurt her? Should she? Was this necessary? She briefly thought it over. It could be a checkup. That’s all it was. ”Tell me to stop if you need to. I don’t want to hurt you so if you feel any pain from my paw, tell me to stop as soon as it happens.” she jabbered loudly.
Pressing one paw, Ringpaw felt around, waiting for Streamcloud to tell her to stop. |
Shinefang kept himself steady as another spasm racked Steamcloud and Ringpaw winced away from her. He nearly put his tail out behind her to bar the young shecat's exit, but just as suddenly as the fear slipped through her, she seemed to master it enough to come forward and lay a paw on the queen's belly anyway. He took his own paw and moved hers just a little to the side. "Can you feel the way her body is pushing? It's working to move the kits out."
He looked to the ginger queen next. "Ok Steamcloud. Ringpaw is going to give you some chervil and some burnet. They'll help give you some strength. In the mean time, I need you to start taking some slow deep breaths for me, like this." The old tom inhaled long and slow and exhaled with cheeks puffed out. "Just like that. Can you do that for me?" He stayed by the shecat's side to coach her and signaled for Ringpaw to bring the herbs with a flick of his bushy tail.
