Being awoken so suddenly caused Fendros to grab at his scabbard reflexively. When the reality of the situation processed in his mind, he found little comfort in the fact that they weren't under attack. He frantically sprung to his feet after cursing under his breath, then went straight for the nearest member of the pack, happening upon Sabine. He knelt down and shook her by the shoulders. "Sabine, wake up! Quickly!" A mildly annoyed groan was all Sabine had time to respond with before Fendros moved on to Meesei. After rubbing her eyes and sitting up, Sabine went wide eyed with realisation and moved to action herself, gathering remedies and materials as she had been told to be ready to do. 

Fendros woke up Meesei similarly, but by this point, the noise being made was waking everyone up. Fendros cursed his luck that they weren't able to get to Stormhold in time for the labour, especially as the panicked preparations were not done with any qualified assumption for what exactly to do. But childbirth was a natural process, right? They might be able to do this on their own. Hopefully nothing would go wrong.

Without question, Fendros helped however he could, but there was a point where all he could do was sit by Ahnasha, hold her hand and reassure her. Emotions were high throughout the entire morning.

In an effort to try and be helpful, Janius spoke quickly while standing nearby. "Kaleeth and I could make a run for the city to get a midwife. Kaleeth speaks Jel, it would be easy."

"No time! We're too far from the city." Fendros snapped in response.

Janius seemed unfazed by Fendros' knee-jerk reaction. "It's better than us doing nothing. How long will the birth be?"

"I..." Fendros dipped his head and exhaled impatiently, "I don't know." Noticing again just how unqualified he was for this, Fendros looked to Meesei with some desperation. She was busy, but perhaps she had the clarity of mind to make that decision.
