Jax kept his arm slung around Talon's waist, moving in slow circles with him. When a contraction came, Talon would cling to him, his legs trembling. A few times, Jax ended up taking all of Talon's weight, keeping him standing as best he could.
They did this for a few hours, slow circles, long breaks for contractions. Finally Talon couldn't walk any longer and Jax helped him settle back down in the nest. He gathered more hay and the soft scraps of blankets, building it up to be somewhat more comfortable. He gave Talon small bits of meat again and sips of water. He wiped away the sweat that was collecting on his brow and under his neck.
The only thing he couldn't do was make the pups come faster to take away Talon's pain.
