In a peaceful forest, a prickly but endearing hedgehog named Hazel was preparing for the biggest moment of her life – welcoming her babies. As her belly rounded, Hazel’s motherly instincts took over. She carefully gathered twigs, leaves, and soft moss, creating the perfect nest for her soon-to-arrive little ones. Her tiny paws worked with gentle precision, ensuring every detail was right, while her quills stood ready to protect her family. As her due date approached, Hazel’s mate Quill stayed close, bringing her sweet berries and tasty insects to keep her strong. Their love grew deeper as they waited for their miracle. On a quiet night, Hazel went into labor, and with Quill’s gentle support, she welcomed her babies into the world—a bundle of joy that instantly filled her heart.
