Fendros could only look on as a shape left Ahnasha's body in a rather grotesque manner. He wasn't sure he could take much more of it all, until there was choked screech that caused a heated sensation to brush over his skull and down his spine. He became completely silent and hung his mouth open almost as wide as his eyes had become. He looked at the creature in Meesei's hands and was dumbstruck. He found enough of his faculties to reach out and take the squirming cub in his arms and held it close to his chest.

It didn't seem to make sense at all, but not in a bad way. Fendros could simply never have prepared himself to lay his eyes upon him. Especially after the stress of the last few hours. Fendros could hardly breathe as the baby held its toothless mouth open and cried. It was small. Far smaller than Fendros could imagine. It's little eyes were wrenched shut and its ears pressed against its head in protest. The fact that it was quite clearly Khajiit didn't change the feeling of holding his own offspring for the first time. All these months had finally brought their child to the world, and it was utterly overwhelming. Fendros' vision blurred when he blinked as he realised that he was shedding a tear. Realising he had to breathe, Fendros took a deep breath and looked over to Ahnasha. He had no words, he simply held the creature to Ahnasha's chest and smiled at her in sad happiness.

Sabine herself would have admitted that she was put off by the whole experience as well, but the atmosphere had decidedly changed once the baby cried. Her mouth started to twitch into a smile as she saw it. All of a sudden, a wave of fatigue hit her, but she couldn't take her eyes off the child. It was so small, filthy and helpless, but it was so endearingly cute that all the memories of what happened to get it into the world seemed to be gently brushed to the back of her mind. Janius, having noticed the change as well, approached to see the outcome and was similarly affected. Never had gaining a new member of the pack been such an ordeal.

Fendros lowered himself to lie down next to Ahnasha and looked at their son, putting one arm around the child. He spoke softly, "Ahna, we have a son."
