"Thank you, I'll be careful in the future," Zulu invited her in, while he waited outside the door.
Ashley, seeing Sally lying on the bed, sweating profusely, felt a deep empathy. She herself had gone through the ordeal not long before.
"Why aren't you in beast form? Although it's easier to give birth in human form, recovery is very slow." Ashley handed Sally a cup of warm water.

"That's true. But I've never delivered a child in human form, so I'll have to fumble my way through."
"It's okay, just do what you can," Sally responded.
Rain began to fall outside, starting as a gentle drizzle before growing heavier until puddles formed in the uneven ground.
Sally's contractions started to come more frequently.
Suddenly, she thought of her first child, wondering how it was doing now and hoping the Black Panther would treat it well.
