Alex never shook Jethro before so he was startled awake. With just a moment of confusion, Jethro was fully awake when he turned his head to see Alex in pain. He sat up quickly and saw how he had pressed into his belly, the heavy breathing and his twisted face all said one thing: Alex was in labor. He gathered Alex into his arms and instructed him to breath deep and long, and try to relax himself as muhc as he could. "The more you tense up the worse the pain would be, so try to relax as much as you could. Yes that's it, good job Alex." Jethro could feel his mate regulating his breathing and his shoulders become less tense as he had said.
