The process of labor was not easy, no one expected it to be, but the pack eventually settled into a rhythm that at least seemed efficient. They made sure Ahnasha had a supply of potions to help numb the pain during the worst parts, though they were careful not to overuse them, as that would leave her without them during the delivery itself. At all other times, Meesei did her best to numb her pain without exhausting herself. It wasn't perfect, but they did everything they knew how to do to keep her comfortable. With how stressful the situation was, it was difficult to tell how much time had passed, but it felt like hours. Ahnasha had never screamed so much at once, though due to the potions, the pain wasn't quite as intense as some of the injuries she had sustained in the past. The worst aspect of it was that it just never seemed to end. It was the most drawn out form of suffering she had ever experienced, and hopefully ever would experience. Over time, her contractions grew closer and closer, becoming more intense until eventually the time was upon her. It was almost difficult to tell when the delivery was approaching, given that the contractions grew gradually in frequency, but once Meesei felt the child's energies moving downward, there was no mistaking it. "Be ready, the child is coming now." Meesei said, still maintaining a calm tone. Ahnasha did not doubt for a second that Meesei was correct, as the pain from her contractions intensified beyond what the potions and Meesei's magic could help. Looking up into Fendros' eyes, she let out a pained scream and clenched his hand almost to the point of crushing it.
