 Pain. Haramu could take pain. There was a lot of it, all centered around her belly as she labored to bring her cubs out into the world. Her demon-spawn, fathered by the rather intriguing Qateth she'd brought into the pride.
She let out a low moan of pain as the first cub came into the world. As she cleaned him, she nearly cried. Pale. Pale and perfectly undemon. Not a trace of demon coloring on him. One cub lost.

With her first cub cleaned and pressed to her belly, the pain grew intense once more. With a few more pushes, her next cub was born. And the coloring made her smile, once she was all cleaned up. Perfect demon coloring. She nosed the cub to her belly, a grin on her face.

The pain that gripped her this time caused her to cry out. This birth took longer than the other two, and she did cry a little once she had cleaned the cub she'd borne. Another of wrong coloring. This one could stay in the pride...but Haramu knew she would never have a chance to get high in the ranks. No...this one was not a demon either.

Another wave of pain surged through her, and not far behind it was the next cub. This one made her smile. Dark. Demonic. He was pressed beside his siblings, cleaned and ready to face the world. Strange, how even demons were so...defenseless at birth.

Haramu barely had time to catch her breath as the next cub demanded to leave the womb. How many did she have inside?! And it would be no use scholding the father...with his broken mind, Haramu doubted he would even realize the cubs were his. This third male made her smile...He, too, was a demon, with her own red blazing against his father's black.

Haramu sighed as her next cub was born, and broke inside a little more. Another non-demon. This one had black on her...but even Haramu's own pale coat was marked with more red. No...she would have to figure out what to do with her non-demon cubs. She would not be able to enslave them, nor just drive them out.
It would be...dishonorable! To do such a thing to lives you had not only borne, but depended on you...

Another set of pains brought her seventh cub into the world. And she grinned tiredly, full of joy as she cleaned her. Nearly a twin to her youngest boy. All that was different was a little more red on the tail. She purred and pushed the cub to her belly with her other cubs, then dealt with the afterbirth.
Four out of seven...With her ancestry, that wasn't bad. That was a good number indeed.
