He Ming needs a new heated blanket for Ilima's kennel, since he wants the Growlithe pups to wean from their incubator after they're born. Separating them from the one who'd carried them so soon just seems cruel. After buying the blanket, He Ming hurries back to the farm as soon as he can, hauling the large box in his arms to the side of the shed Ilima's kennel is on.
"Did you already—oh, no. I knew I should've come back sooner..." He Ming leaves the cart to the side and quickly opens the kennel, seeing the large wet spot on the pad. He's helped other breeders through their labor before. Now, he takes care to make sure Ilima is in a favorable position on the pad with the heated blanket on, rubbing his shoulders in a regular rhythm as he waits for him birth the Growlithe pups. Between contractions he leaves to get the stack of clean towels and the extra padded basket he'd prepared ahead of time.
There are four in total. He Ming helps by clearing their faces of any leftover tissue and bundling them in clean towels on the heated blanket in front of Ilima. They're all immediately lively and moving. Even before the last pup is born, the first one is whining for Ilima's milk.
