Crowpaw had sent Ivypaw back to the camp slightly before him, as it was nearing darkness but there were still a place he had wanted to check out. Now he was on his way back, and as he neared camp, he heard a yowl. He perked his ears in surprise- it sounded urgent. Was the Clan under attack? He dropped the herbs and opened his mouth to scent the air, but it smelled normal. Confused and concerned, the white tom quickly picked up his bundle of winterberries again and bounded towards the camp, slowing by the entrance and peeking in to make sure all was okay. Cats sat around as normal, though a few looked rather worried. Padding into camp, the medicine cat apprentice dropped the herbs again at his paws and meowed to Blizzardwing, "Hey, I heard yowling. Is everything okay?"

(I'll take one of the toms then. Someone else can be the special she-cat. XD)
Fieldgrass paused then smiled. "I think a know a place. We might not find moss, but feathers should be found around there too." He padded over to the camp entrance. "Come on. Let's be quick."
Tinypaw smiled at Blizzardwing. She could tell he was worried too. "Should we go do something to distract ourselves? I don't think that Coldfire would like us worrying over her."

(If no one else ends up wanting up that she-cat, I would be up for RPing that one. I'm perfectly fine a with a tom though.)

"Crowpaw!" Leafblaze yowled again, gritting her teeth as she gazed at the panicked queen before her. Though she was starting to be able to clear her mind and think of the herbs, she still needed a second set of paws beside her.

(TBH I can just imagine the three toms like- ones a passifist, one is so nervous He's scared of his own shadow, and the other one has the attention span of a knat and so the she cat is this loud and boisterous thing that seems to always want to protect her brothers XD
Idk either way, feel free if you want the she cat ^^ I'll take her if no one else wants to)
"Good idea Tinypaw. How about we see if we can catch a squirrel for her? They're her favorite you know," he purred, relieved at the she cats idea. He flicked a thick tail over her shoulder, brushing off some snow that was on it before turning to Crowpaw, "It seems as if Coldfire has started kitting," he explained, worry flickering acrossed his features.

Crowpaw looked up as he heard another yell, panicked for a heartbeat before he realized it was just Leafblaze calling for him. "Never mind, that answered my question," he meowed to Blizzardwing, picking up the winterberries and hurrying to the medicine den. He dropped the winterberries just outside, then poked his head in, wrinkling his nose at the warmth- it felt hot and stifling compared to the cold, crisp air he had become accustomed to over the course of the day. "What is-" he meowed, but he realized what it probably was as he caught sight of Coldfire. "This early?" he meowed before he could stop himself, eyes widening slightly with surprise.

(lol I want the pacifist, I can totally see that just all the time something happens and cats are like "Aren't you gonna, like, step in?" and he's just like no, I'm observing. For science. We're not allowed to help the wildlife.)

( You okay with me taking her Clover? I don't want to if you really want her. >.<)
Giving a Crowpaw a small panicked nod before turning her eyes back to Coldfire, Leafblaze slowly summoned her command from her tounge. "You know what herbs I need, right? Get those for me while I watch Coldfire." She said, feeling slightly guilty that her mind was so clouded that she couldn't think right. She was supposed to be the in control of the situation, without having to lean on Crowpaw for help.

Crowpaw raised one eyebrow at the queen, noting her expression at the pain. "I'm gonna guess Leafblaze can tell the difference between cramps and kitting by now," he countered, retreating outside to grab the berries before returning to the den. Some cats he tried to be more gentle with when speaking to, but others- like Coldfire, who shared his habit of being rather sharp-tongued- he didn't bother to honey his words.
"I have wintergreen," he meowed to Leafblaze as he stepped back in the den, dropping the branch in an out of the way corner to be picked over and sorted later, after the kitting was over. Then he glanced at Coldfire. "Shouldn't this be done in the nursery? It'll be dangerous to carry the kits through the cold to get them there."
(oops, just realized I made a mistake. Wintergreen, not winterberries. Misread the medicine list lol. Also, I'm now way too excited about Pacifistkit. That is the personality I'm going with and none of you can stop me.)

Leafblaze narrowed her eyes at the apprentice in annoyance, before coming to her senses and realizing she didn't have the time to deal with his sharp-tongue. "Fine, I'll move her. You bring the herbs to the n-nursery, okay?" She meowed, nudging Coldfire with her paw. Moving her was going to be difficult, and she may end up needing some help from her fellow clanmates for it to work.

"That doesn't mean- " her argument towards Crowpaw broke off, shuddering momentarily, trying to keep her jaws shut so she didn't cry out in pain, more to spite Crowpaw than anything. She appreciated the toms sharp tongue, something that not many cats did. She flinched at Leaflazes touch, but was relieved that she could go back to the nursery, even though she still wasn't comfortable in there, but it was better than this den. She tried to get up, letting out a string of swears when she realized her legs where trembling

Crowpaw nodded, going over to the hollows that contained the herbs and digging through to try to find the best ones. Everything was dry and withered and old, but in a situation like this he wanted to give the queen the best medicine he could find- she was kitting too early, by nearly a moon, and if everything wasn't done right, it was not only possible but likely that some or all of the kits could be lost.
He quickly got together a small mix of borage, chervil, raspberry leaves, and juniper berries. The borage would help her milk to come once the kits were born, while the chervil would help make the kitting go smoother, the raspberry leaves would stop her from bleeding much and help with the pain (but not so much that it would be detrimental), and the juniper berries would help to keep her calm and give her strength, as well as help the mixture to taste better. "I wish we had some dandelion or fennel," he muttered under his breath, irritable at the lack of useful herbs. Leafbare was the worst time to kit- there was never enough food, it was too cold, and if something went wrong there wasn't a lot the medicine cats could do. Of course, it wasn't Coldfire's fault; if her kits had come on time, it would have been nearly newleaf and everything most likely would have been alright.
Once he had gathered together the ones he needed, Crowpaw tore the leaves into small shreds with his sharp claws and made it into a small, gooey mixture with what juice was left in the half-dried juniper berries. He mixed it together on a broad leaf, which he rolled up and grasped carefully in his jaws before carrying it to the nursery. He entered and quickly located the queen, laying the leaf at her paws. "Eat this," he meowed, pushing the leaf towards her.
(edit: posted late again. Had to look up the herbs lol)

Coldfire had had managed to get back to the library, panicking only minimally along the way. She was led to the furthest part of the nursery, where the air was warm, but choking for the queen. She glanced up sharply when Crowpaw came in with a bundle of herbs, and simply gave them a cautious sniff before lapping them up without much of a fight, the only give away now that she was panicking. What if her kits didn't make it? She was honestly skinny, even for an expecting queen, and had no idea how she would have enough milk for them, how many they might be. What if they got sick? What if she got sick and then they did? She clawed at the bedding, not looking at Crowpaw, unwilling to show weakness.
"Where's that?" Sweetpaw asked, bouncing slightly at the thought of helping. The calico watched as the queen stumbled to the nursery, she saw how weak she already looked and it worried her.

(I'll take the over protective big brother! I love playing them! They are so much fun for me! XD)
Tinypaw beamed. "Great! this will be so much fun! Where are we going to go look?" She asked with a head tilt. It was hard to find prey in winter, so finding a squirrel would be difficult.

Leafblaze paced anxiously as Coldfire lapped the herbs, growing as worried as the Queen. But she knew that now, that she had taken the herbs, all the had to do was wait for the kits to come. After a few minutes of pacing, Leafblaze flopped down and focused her gaze on Coldfire. She was shaking slightly in her panic, which was honestly unlike the Medicine Cat.
