Fable Konstante
It had been weeks since Suture's cubs arrival, and she had finally loosened up enough to let Fable, the other pregnant lioness around who had began to lactate, watch her cubs while she went to hunt or wander for the day. It was rare for her to hunt of course, since Suture was a lazy bum herself, but with Fable being the main huntress and not able to hunt with her condition; she had not much choice but to every now and then, provide. By the end of the day, when Suture returned to claim her very active cubs, Fable was by then exhausted, and today was one of those days.
Her belly had bulged to a great degree, and it was obvious when she walked around the den that she was struggling slightly, trying to keep herself up. But the poor lioness felt as if she was about to pop right there- so she quickly sat. It only took a moment to feel a ripple going across her belly, and pain shot through her. It's time, she thought, beginning to shake, her eyes darted around for Jasper's presence, but stopped herself. These were her first cubs, her first litter, what should she do? Shaking off the nervousness, she took a deep breath and got up to travel to a dark solitary corner of the den; stopping briefly along the way to let the pain pass with annoyed hisses. She would have no help, this was her own deal, that she felt a lioness had to do alone.
...
A high moon had shone through the better lit parts of the cave, and Fable lay on her side, catching her breath slowly. She had given birth to five beautiful cubs throughout a long night, and she was, yet again, exhausted. But a smile crept onto her face, a soft and loving one, and she lifted to rasp her tongue over her newborn babies. Her pelt warmed with a feeling of happiness as they suckled, she was a mother now, and though it had been a useless thing to her before, she now knew it was much more than she had thought, it was love. Turning her head from the mewling bodies at her belly, she let out a tired call throughout the cave, calling for Jasper. He was to see them first, he had promised to be their father, even past blood- yet still one of the cubs bore him a striking resemblance and after all; he was a father. The fact that Morphine would return to take a couple of them was far back in her mind.

☼ Baby Mon Amie
The little black and white bundle of fur laid safe by her mother's side with Mon Amie's four siblings. Mon Amie occasionally let out tiny mews, but stopped when something touched her back. It was her mother's tongue. The little bundle let out a louder mew before she started to wriggle.

Baine
Fresh to the world and already the small deep maroon pelted infant was clawing his way to the top. Muscling his tiny way past all his siblings in a search for the best milk giving teat. Baine also spat out pathetic excuses for snarls and hisses whenever he was touched by other siblings. They would have to go somewhere else if they wanted a good spot.

Jasper pricked his ears as he heard little mews and Fable's exhausted call for him, he made his way over to them with a warm smile, the cubs.. they were healthy and so was Fable! Ah, what a precious delight to see! he thought warmly as he kept a distance from her and their cubs, knowing how fierce a mother's will to protect her family. "They're beautiful.. my Fable." he smiled, eyes gleaming with pride. "They'll be amazing members of Gespenster, I know it will happen and I promise that I'll never leave their side as their father." he said softly as he watched the cubs wriggle and mew. "Any suggestions for names?" he whispered, looking over each one with a warm smile.

Fable Konstante & Laika & ?
The little crimson cub felt her mothers tongue and was suddenly lit with movement, wiggling in confusion at the unknown substance before dying down again into a lazy sleep, once in a while reaching for her mother's teat.
Meanwhile Fable let out a greater purr as Jasper appeared, and she was delighted to show her young ones off to him. As she strained to see them through the darkness, she could tell one- a little grey male- was not Morphine's, and was his. Upon her examination, another small cub- a little weak female- also caught her eye, she had spots. A flicker of worry sounded off inside her as the cub seemed to barely move, but she simply licked the fragile body and looked to Jasper. His Fable, for some reason that made her heart soar right alongside the beaming pride of her cubs, but suddenly she was reminded of names. Names! Such important things, they would be called that their whole lives! Boy, it was a staggering concept suddenly, to a new mother such as herself.
"Names! My goodness I didn't even think..." She started, giving a look once again over all of her cubs, starting with the one closest to her. She knew who was male and female better than Jasper did, so she sounded off each cub. "Male... Female... Male... Female... Female." She started, smiling at her own personal triumph, before once again pondering. "This little male here seems awful toothy, he needs a strong name... Baine." She said, giving him a soft lick once more, and continuing. "This little female over here... Lazy little thing, I feel like her name should start with an L... Laika."
(I've decided to keep the weakest cub, despite that meaning it would be me having two out of the litters... If that's a problem do tell me. She's a dark grey with black spots and pale eyes. Just for fun, I'll let Jasper name her from scratch, since I have no idea. Also, baby Mon Amie looks adorable ;w; )

Jasper Iblisi
Turning his head to the frail cub, he looked at her with a smile and purred. "I think that female over there will be known as... Raven. I like that name and I treasure it. Good names chosen, miss Fable! Well done." he said with a purr, watching each cub squirm for a spot and chuckled. So.. this was his second litter he had? Unfortunately.. he couldn't be with the first since they were far away with a female he had called friend and wondered how the cubs were.
Inside, he felt pride and joy that he was actually able to raise the cubs up to be loyal to Gespenster.. something he had failed to do in the past. He smiled, purring. "Father will become a grandpa.. and.. Bella and Acacia will be aunts. Ah, I am pleased to see this moment, I'll keep it close to me." he said with a purr as he watched the moon shine through the Savannah. What would Zeitgeist think? he wondered with a smile.

Fable Konstante & Laika & Raven
Fable purred humorously, as she nosed the last two little bundles to be named; a little grey male, no doubt Jasper's, and a pretty little girl with a blue tuft of hair. Such a sweet little thing, she mewed in her mind, before looking up to Jasper again. "You forgot these two... I think I will name the girl Amie... Mon Amie." She said in a satisfactory way, licking the little girl and leaving the male that was his, the last one to be named, up to Jasper. As she lay there, she began to sigh; the exhaustion was kicking in, and so was the sun as a tiny bit of light trickled into the sky. Giving a large yawn, she lay her head on her paws and huffed, eyelids suddenly feeling a bit heavy. After Jasper decided the last male's name, she gently meowed out to him through a tired voice, "Do you think you could go inform Zeitgeist of the new arrivals? I'll let the pride see them soon, but... I kind of want to rest now."

Jasper purred and nodded. "Of course, miss Fable." he whispered before getting out of the den and waving goodbye to the cubs and went out to search for his lord, he would be glad to see them, he was sure of that. He called out softly so he wouldn't wake anybody. "M'lord Zeitgeist? I have pleasant news!" he said softly as a smile crept up on his features. The full moon shining on his grey, spotted pelt. He would wait patiently for his lord, even if it took him all night to find him.

Jasper couldn't help but smile warmly. "Miss Fable and I's cubs are born, sire!" he said with a whisper, smiling. "Though madam Fable needs rest.. and she needs it desperately. They are all healthy." he said with a low whisper, turning to Fable and the cubs with a loving gaze. Does she have mutual feelings? he asked himself mentally, remembering that purr and her tone of voice.. something made him feel like he was quite curious. He flicked his tail with a purr. "Step quietly, m'lord.. wouldn't want to distract them, would we?" he purred, leading the dominant of Gespenster to the den. "Miss Fable.." he whispered with a smile. "I don't mean to interrupt your beauty sleep but m'lord is here." he said with a smile.

Fable Konstante & Laika & Raven
At the dominant's words, she yawned and smiled. "Thank you sir, I think I may take a few days to rest first... They can see them soon though." She said, nodding and turning to Jasper, "I'll send Jasper when it's time."
(After this, we can consider the cubs to be about as old as Suture's when they were shown to the pride. Barely able to walk, not exactly able to form /correct/ words yet. That ok? We can continue on this thread if so.)
