Exton

Stoney withdrew from his bro's mind. He set about arranging pillows and blankets on the floor. He helps Alise settle back, stroking her damp hair off her neck.

"Want it braided, mon amour?" When Alise nods, Stoney's nimble fingers begin to plait the long honey gold waves. It isn't long before the hair is neatly braided. Snatching a band from the dresser, Stoney returns to her just in time to hold her hand through another contraction. He waits until she is more relaxed, then ties off the end of her braid.

With a kiss to her brow, Stoney helps her raise up so he can slide below her, supporting her through the labor pains. He holds her close, running his hands over her twitching belly.

"Easy Chaton... the bebes, they are making their way... and I am here. Ike and Tori are holding court at the tavern. Tori arranged for a shifter band to play. Ike and Patti are watching over the business. Ike let Traeger know what is up." He grins at Alise's confusion. "Yes, it is early for the girls, but all the excitement... they rose early."
