Saga slipped into the den just as night began to fade, instinct taking over where her consciousness lacked. There would be no more time to prepare, no more last minute adjustments, no more just-in-case plans. The fates had finished their webs, which meant that it was time. She did not call for Hudson, or Riven, or anyone else, and she wouldn't unless something went wrong. They would find her when they were supposed to.

Sun poured into the den as the first child came. She was small, and dark, and wet, with a scrunched up nose, and flat-laid ears, but she was the most beautiful creature Saga had ever laid eyes on. Her brother was much the same, a beautiful, dark ball of fur, with strong lungs. The third was the last, lighter than his siblings, but no less perfect. She hadn't anticipated this.. feeling, and just how strong it would be. Perhaps it was just the twisting of fates, the intertwining of their webs, but whatever it was, Saga had never felt anything like it.

She was careful to clean them off, whispering on and on about everything and nothing to cubs that couldn't even hear her, but once they were dry and nuzzled up against her stomach, she finally allowed her eyes to drift shut.

Saga's eyes shot open at the voice and she made to protectively curl around her cubs until the gears in her mind began turning. Once the fog had lifted and his scent wafted into the den, she was able to settle, offering an apologetic whine at her reaction. "Sorry, Riv. I'm glad you're here. I.. yes.  Everything is fine. They're.. They're perfect." And they were. "Have you seen—" But she never got the chance to finish her thought because Hudson suddenly appeared at the mouth of the den, his silver eyes resting on the cubs, before his rear made contact with the ground.

She flashed him a small, soft smile. "Two boys and a girl, Marrah." The name fell from her tongue as though she'd contemplated it before that moment, but alas, she hadn't.

Once the father had had his look, she would call for Riven again to have him check over the cubs and make sure all was well, just in case.

Once all three of the children had been named, Marrah, Aweho, and Caelyn respective to birth order, Hudson finally excused himself. She watched him go through lidded eyes, exhausted, but unable to allow herself to give in to the temptations of sleep. The cubs had yet to have been given a once over, and regardless of how tired she was, Saga knew that she wouldn't sleep peacefully until she was sure that everything was okay.

She motioned for the blonde healer to step forward, even shifting so that she might allow him access to her brood. "Sorry about Hudson." Though it wasn't her place to apologize for him, the Tainn couldn't help herself. He was, after all, the father of her children.
