All 3 girls were due anyday and Jena wouldn't allow any of them to be up and around. They decided to share a bed because they wanted to be their to support each other during the births. they wondered what it would be like if they all went into labor at the same time.

Neely looked up at Renown, smiling tiredly. "I hope it's soon. It's really taxing carrying them."

Renown walked up to her side of the bed. "So do I. I just hope I can tell them apart.

"Don't worry. Mom and Sai are gonna get collars for them."
"They will for ours, too," Kristin said. "All 3 of us. That way you boys know which ones are yours. We can tell by scent, but that's because we have more sensitive noses."

"Right."
"I'll make sure I get the right colors." Sai said. "So I'm staying here to count babies and genders." She got out a notepad.

"All right."
"It shouldn't be much longer," Susan said with a gasp. "It's time." The other two gasped ine after the other as they felt it begin for them, too.
"Take their paws, boys," Jena said. "My daughters need their men close for this."

"Yeah."
Nearly an entire day passed before the last baby came out. Susan only had 1, a little girl. Kristin had one of each. Neely's was the largest litter at 10 girls and 2 boys. "Oh my gosh," Jena said, seeing all 12 of Neely's. "No wonder she was so much more exhausted that Kristin and Susan."

Sai ripped out the paper she wrote on. "I'll go get the collars."
"I feel sorry for the boys." Renown said. "They'll be outnumbered."

"They'll be ok," Neely said.
"Get some sleep, all of you," Jena said. "Especially you, Neely." Neely nodded and went to sleep instantly, Kristin and Susan drifted off soon after.

Susan and Kristin were awake, but Neely was still asleep. "I can understand how tired she is," Jena said. "These three are my second litter. My first was 20."

"Once we name them, we can write them on the collars."
