The little one cried in her arms the once sing song about Erta had quickly changed tune as they no longer wanted Erta. "Awope awope!" They cried holding onto her tightly as they were soothed gently by their mother's words and promises but the cold... "Oul...oul... brrrr." They said as the cold coming was not welcome as they swung their little arm to try and beat back the cold curling up in her arms. They heard a weird wrenching noise as Del was jerked from her slumber at one in the morning with one of the most painful contractions that just led into another slightly less painful one but still it felt like her body was non stop stabbing her. Kryner was back his head resting on the bed until she jerked around and he promptly sat up,<br/><br/>"Del, you ok? What's wrong?" He held her hand as she looked like the wind had been knocked out of her and Kryner remembered something, "Breathe Del... just breathe, you're gonna be ok." He smiled and the noise seemed to draw in Gale who sleepily tossed her night cap off to the counter and asked if she could inspect and gasped, "Oh my we're gonna need my little measure tool hold on." She said happily hobbling off to go get whatever tool she needed. The lanterns were a nice warm and welcoming light and the moon was shining in from the window outside. Gale returned and smiled,<br/>"Well well well, you're dilating nicely, been about three hours and you are seven centimeters open." She said showing Del the tool that showed her the distance she had opened up. "Won't be long before you'll start pushing, once this reaches around ten to twelve is when you gotta start pushing and it'll come naturally I assure you this. When you feel it between those convulsions that's the time to strike."
