Thunder padded quickly with him, and sometimes passed him. He took a deep breath and sat down infront of his den. Mari passed them, and smiled. "She's doing great. Your pups will be here any minute."
Suddenly Rain's voice came from the den. "Thunder?" she called. Thunder looked at Aki and Mari and hurriedly ran into the den. Rain's body was curled around three tiny squirmy pups. "Oh Rain. They're beautiful." "This one looks like you." Rain sighed. Thunder laid down beside her, and curled his body around the new pups. Rain laid her head on Thunder's back, and fell asleep.
