Does she look pregnant? Does she have plenty of soft materials available to make a soft place to give birth? Depending on how well they get along, you may want to be prepared to separate the two adults if the other female starts to act aggressively toward the pups ... other than that, make sure she's got water and soft bedding available, and just watch carefully.

Thank You

I already did that
I am just hoping Dusk is in labor not bleeding from something else

Does anyone know what it could be besides labor

What are her other symptoms or behavior? It could be many things ... a vet is the only one who would know for sure. If she's still bleeding tomorrow morning, a trip to the vet first thing is in order.
