(Xavier's POV) I have missed the feel of my mate. Not being able to feel like everyone else has been a hard fleet. I am honestly not sure how Xeraphina copes with it. Six months was a long enough experience for me. I gripped my mate's hand, as the doctor prepped her for a cesarean. She was a strong women, never worrying about the negative in life. Right now though, I could tell I needed to be her rock. "I am right here Asrai. Trust in the doctor, our pups will be fine. Let your worries go my love and lean on me." I told her softly, whispering gently within her ear. Her head tilted towards me, as her body seemed to relax. I could see the doctor starting the incision, I only prayed he was quick enough to save them both. 'Focus on mate. She needs to stay calm for our pups and her sake.'
