She told him to get out so he got out. Who knew pregnancy made females so touchy? Namir asked himself as he wandered away from the den. But to be fair I was being a bit of a nag. Even when talking to himself he had to be honest. Namir knew he was being way to over protective of his beybanu, he knew that cub birth was quite natural, he knew that Farrah was in excellent heath, and he knew that she should be fine but he couldn't help but think back just a few months to his mother's death.
Tsubame was still fairly young, in good heath, was resting plenty, eating plenty but still she died. And Namir could do nothing to prevent it from happening. Logically he knew, at least now, that all the training in the would could not have prevented the tragic outcome.
He truly feared the past repeating itself.
Namir believed that was the only reason Farrah hadn't killed him yet, figuratively speaking that is... he hoped, ... she saw much his mom's death hurt him.

Tsubame's death had actually come as a surprise to most of the pride. Ilyas had not been unduly upset by it, since he was not closely related to her and had not known her well, but it still gave him pause when he covered Elsa or Afsar. Of course the possibility of death in childbirth had always been there, but by and large the pride's lionesses tended to pull through them, and there had been no reason Ilyas knew of that Tsubame should have died in this particular birth.
From his friends among the other pads Ilyas knew that a number of banu and beybanu had found Tsubame's death to be more than just a tragedy, but a wake-up call, and were also considering more carefully whether they wanted to rush into bearing cubs. For some males in Ilyas' acquaintance, the more brutish of the lot, this was a real problem and had actually resulted in less compassion for their banu than usual. Ilyas disapproved, but could not rightly say anything.
Just the same, he did worry about his favorite sister, who was in a gravid state at present. It would allay some of his concerns, he felt, if he could visit her and reassure himself that he would not be losing her to childbirth. Because, really, if anything happened to Farrah as a result of her pregnancy, Ilyas would have no choice but to kill that pad of hers.

Ilyas' ears twitched with curiosity at what favor Namir could possibly wish to ask of him. The other pad had been managing his harem quite well, as far as Ilyas knew, and he did not know in what way he could help there. Truth be told, even if Namir wished Ilyas to intercede with his father or uncle for some reason, it was unlikely Ilyas would be able to exert much sway over either of them.
"You may certainly ask," Ilyas said. "It would be a hard thing if I were to deny you, the pad of my favorite sister, the small courtesy of hearing your request."
He settled back onto his haunches so that he would not need to hold this conversation standing. The blue-eyed pad waited then to hear what his sister's pad would ask of him. If it was something asked on Farrah's behalf, Ilyas would certainly grant it if doing so lay within his power, but despite the sadness that hung about the other pad, Ilyas could not help a churlish resentment at the manner by which Farrah and Namir had come to be mates. It had not been properly done, and he still felt betrayed when he thought of it.
