Daimond was perched like a big cat p on the branch,her back legs loling carelesly and her front legs crossed."Nice try.But leave squirrels until you can climb,or run faster."She looked down on him curiously."Are you alright?"

He laughed and rolled over onto his back, staring up at Daimond. "Yea, I'm fine!" he called out to her, moving all four paws back and fourth happily. "How'd you climb up there? Aren't you pregnant?" he asked, tilting his head. His vocabulary had definitely widened over the course of time, as did his facts and ideas. |

Daimond shifted uncomfortably,glancing at her belly."Yes,I am,but you never lose some skills,no matter your condition."She steadied herself carefuly and slid down gracfully down the tree,landing on the ground.'Maybe I`ll teach you someday.WOuld you like to learn?"

Xander's tail wagged furiously at the offer and her nodded his head, blinking up at Daimond. "Yea!" he said happily, deciding to ask his question later. "This should be loads of fun!" In excitement, he nipped up at her chin and licked it a little too. |

Diamond smiled."Well,you wont be very good at it now,because your small.Let`s find a sapling."She padded onward,eyeing the trees curiously till she came to a fair sized tree,and nodded."Well,I beleive you know how to start off.Try finding cracks in the bark and sinking your claws in,then pull,then do the same with your back claws,and sort of repeat it.Try it.Dont worry,if you fall,I`ll catch you."

As they reached the small sapling Xander flicked his ears, examining it. It should be easy for him, the tree was small and it was full of wide and narrow cracks that he could slip his sharp claws into. With a small hope after a nod, he clung to the tree's old trunk and scanned the area before him for any cracks. Finding two great spots, he dug his claws in them, then proceeded to fit his two back paws into any cracks he could. Now, all he would have to do is repeat.
He went a couple of more inches up before looking down at Daimond. Her head was by his tail, and he wagged it, nearly whipping her nose. "Ah! This is pretty high. I feel like I can rule the world from up here!" he called down, giggling slightly. |

Daimond smiled widely,and laughed.Her laughter grew louder and louder,before it turned into screams.Of pain.She fell upon the ground,spasms running through her body.Her claws scrambled at the earth,her eyes wide with fear.Suddenly,somthing else ran through her body.A contractrion."NO!"Diamond howled and pain,writhing on the ground."Xander....Go....VULPES!"

(OoC: HOLY! unexpected right there. XD!)
Confused, and slightly afraid, Xander leaped off the tree trunk, landing on his feet with much luck. He nodded, eyes very wide and zoomed off the way they came. All he could hope for was that Vulpes was in his den, where he usually was. Thoughts were racing through his little mind and he went as fast as his paws could carry him.
Finally, he reached an clearing in the forest, but had to keep going. He either jumped or dodged any obstacles in his way, including a few animals. "VULPES! VULPES!" he shouted as he neared the mountain. This would be a tough climb up for him considering he was already out of breath from the long run. But, he did as best as he could but stopped as soon as he came up to the steep wall to get up to the dens. So, all he did was peek up, his eyes just reaching over the top. "VULPES! COME! QUICK! IT'S DAIMOND!" he screamed, looking around frantically for him. Daimonds screams rang in his ears, and he panted, only now remembering that he was exhausted. |

Steel was the one to reply to his callls."FOX!"Steel howled,jumping down the mountain quickly,a frantic quick-step in his footing.An orange blur quickly followed him."Follow,Xander,hurry!"He rushed down the mountain,catching up quickly with Steel.Xander would catch up eventually.
Daimond screamed agian."HURRY!"She called out desperatly to no one in particular.Steel made it first,frantically licking his friends face.Daimond gave him a quick lick back and continued screaming.Vulpes panted,slowing into the clearing."Daimond!Concentrate!Push!"Daimond obeyed immidiatly.In a few more minutes of screaming and panting,a pup was nestled into Diamond`s belly fur.It had silver fur with seemingly blue highlights along his legs and tail.He was a thick pup,especially for just being born."Kouta."She choked out,before more spasms ran through her and more contractions hit.

Before Steele had a chance to topple him over, Xander hopped down onto the flat surface below and shot off after both Steele and Vulpes, running the best he could. He knew he would probably pass out as soon as he reached Daimond and everyone else, even though he was full of energy, this would tire him out quickly.
Once he arrived and saw everyone, he slowed up, his small pads ached but he kept walking until he was at Vulpes' side. He cocked his head at the small silver ball of fluff, looking at him. "He's pretty chubby!" he said happily, giggling. Deciding not to watch the rest of them being born, he laid down on the side. His panting steadied into a calm breathing. |

"Steel.Get to know Xander.Take him hunting."There was another painfull screma from Diamond."NOW!"Steel whined and nodded,walking past Xander."Come on,kid,we`ll take a walk.That`ll steady yourself."Diamond whined in pain."Dont worry,my child.You`ll be fine."Vulpes nuzzled her and Diamond pushed once more.The pain lessened a bit to a dull roar as another pup layed below her tail.Vulpes swooped donw and picked it up,licking it gently and getting it`s breathing going,before giving it to Daimond.The pup was black with splashes of gold.His fur was like water,always rippling."Kaito."Daimond breathed,and got to work on the last pup.

Xander took one more weary look at Daimond and Vulpes before getting to his paws. He wasn't so sure if he'd like this little walk with Steel, considering her didn't know him well, and his first impression on him wasn't very comforting. "I'm Xander.." he said, softly, his voice cracked a little. Xander followed along close behind him, looking at the scenery that passed by. |

Steel smiled."I`m Angala,but prefferably Steel."He smiled hopefully at the pup.By the cold waves comeing off him,Xander didnt like him that much.
Daimond gave one last hearty push and the pain dulled to only a sore aching.Diamond,this time,turned round and snapped up the pup gently.It was female.This pleased Diamond.Her fur was a velvety black,completely,except for the tip of her tail.It was a bright golden color,and the very very tip was a blue-y grey color.Like a light-bulb,or something.Daimond smiled gently as the pups nursed."Hotaru."She said,and licked them all carefully."My children."Vulpes nodded,then licked Daimond.

He tilted his head, wondering why he liked to be called steel, and not Angala. Xander brushed off the thought, speeding up so that he was at Steel's side. "Do you think it hurts?" he asked, breaking the small awkward silence between the two. |

Steel glanced behind him.The cries had stopped."Welll,to make Dai cry out like that,it would have to,wouldnt it?"His tail flicked pleasently."Well,she`ll be happy in the end.Pups are so cute.I just wish..."His voice trailed off and he shook his head."So,Xander,what do you like to do?"
