"There you go." Rosefrost hummed to the younger queen, pressing a paw gently to her stomach and nodding. "When you feel the next contraction, push, alright?"

Nightflame nodded, breathing deep breaths. She tended again, pushing like Rosefrost told her.

Rosefrost watched carefully for anything out of the ordinary, flicking her tail lightly as Ivymask quieted her own kits, and Diamondheart shuffled closer to Venomspirit's side to give them more room, quieting his own kits.

Reedheart was lowkey panicking.

Nightflame let out a yowl as the first one was born, breathing quickly.

"Wonderful, Nightflame. Your first kit is here." Rosefrost purred, moving quickly and grooming the kit the wrong way to warm it up.

Nightflame closed her eyes, wanting the pain to stop.

The first kit can be fox’s)

The kit was an average sized black and ginger tom. His tail was bent almost in half however.

"A tom. Congratulations, Nightflame." Rosefrost mewed gently, before she soothed. "I know, Nightflame. Four kits is a very painful process but I can't think of a stronger she-cat. Breathe, and keep pushing."

Nightflame tensed again as she felt another contraction and whimpered, her eyes opened wide.

Reedheart spoke. "You're doing great." He was so worried.

Nightflame pushed again, gasping as the second kit was born. This one a solid black she-kit.

Rosefrost cleaned the she-kit quickly, tail flicking with faint concern as she saw how difficult this was for the queen. It looked...different, from a normal kitting. She placed the kit down and mewed.
"Two down...two more, Nightflame. Keep going, and stay awake, even if you get tired."

Nightflame’s ears flattened against her head as her breathing got shallower. She tried to take a deep breath before another contraction took hold and she had to push again, yowling.

Reedheart pressed close. "It's ok. Just keep breathing." He tried to soothe her.

Nightflame looked down as the third kit was born, a black and white she-kit.

"Almost done." Reedheart breathed. He licked the kits to warm them.

"Keep going, Nightflame." Rosefrost breathed, though her intuition was screaming at her, and she turned to look at the deputy, eyes blinking quickly, tilting her head to signal for him to get Runningpaw. On the double.
The Deputy stared wide eyed at the older she-cat, before he stood quickly and rushed out of the den.

Rosefrost turned right back, giving a warm purr as she cleaned the kit. "One more. Come on, you have to push only a bit more."

Nightflame gave a faint smile as she looked at her kits before putting her head down weakly. She felt the last contraction come and gave a weak push, closing her eyes tightly. The final kit was born, this one a black tom. Only it wasn’t breathing.

Rosefrost had moved to quickly groom the kitten, only to notice the lack of breathing. She groomed it harder, eyes sparking with sudden realization and sadness. She tried checking the jaws for blockage but it was no use...

Reedheart let out the breath he had been holding. "It's all over Nightflame. You did it." He said.

Nightflame closed her eyes again, feeling weaker than before. And cold. She started shivering as she noticed how cold she was.

Suddenly everything seems wrong. Nightflame shivered but it wasn't cold in the nursery. He pressed closer. "What's wrong?" He asked before lookin up. He saw his son, unmoving. "Oh no.." he whimpered. No no no..

Nightflame opened her eyes slightly, “Reedheart..” She murmured weakly.

Rosefrost finally stopped cleaning him, her ears falling sadly. The loss of a son...of any kit, she knew the pain well. "I'm sorry...He is stillborne..."

"I'm here Nightflame. I'm here. So are our kits. You did great." Reedheart spoke, voice layered with sadness. His son was dead.. he never even had a chance.

Nightflame looked at him, “I thought.. you didn’t care.” She whispered. She shivered again, why was she so cold?

Rosefrost pulled her sadness into support, placing the dead kit down gently before she heard Nightflame's words and stated tensely. "You've had a bad kitting. Something went wrong, most likely...Don't sleep, Nightflame, you understand me?"
