Eclipsesky let out a purr as a kit appeared in front of him. He nipped through the sac lightly and began to vigorously lick the little one. He stood up, looking at Soulspirit with a smile "Congratulations Soulspirit, you're officially a mother." he stated before picking up the little kit to show her.

Dawnshadow hovered next to Eclipsesky, waiting for her mentor to tell her where she was best needed.

(Kk!)
The kit opened his jaws, letting out a loud wail as his dark grey fur spiked up with each lick to his little pelt. He squeaked, seeking warmth and calming a bit as soon as he was placed at his mother’s belly.

Soulspirit let out a raspy purr and smiled, leaning forward to sniff at the little kit. The happy moment didn’t last long as she felt another sharp pain and sat back again, taking the stick into her jaws.

Eclipsesky gestured to Dawnshadow to move forward, "Would you like to deliver the next one?"

Dawnshadow looked at her mentor before nodding and stepping forward. She moved to put her paw on Soulspirit. “The next one should come soon.”

Soulspirit nodded, her grip on the stick tightening as she felt the next contraction and pushed. Soon the second kit was born, a brown tabby she-kit with white paws and chest.

Dawnshadow grabbed the kick and bit open the sac. She moved to start to groom the kit the wrong way.

Eclipsesky gave Dawnshadow room to work, watching his apprentice with a proud smile. Delivering kits had always been his favorite part of being a medicine cat. The tom flicked his ear as he wondered if he would ever deliver Silverspirit’s kits and get to share the joy with her. He felt a pang of jealousy roll through him at the fact that they wouldn’t be his. He shook out his fur, refocusing on Soulspirit and Dawnshadow. Now was not the time.

“She’ll be alright.” Mottledsong mewed to Cinderscar, having slipped from the nursery to give the other queens and medicine cats more space. She smiled warmly at the new father, her tail flicking.
“I already heard some wails. That’s good, it means you now have kits.” She purred.
Cinderscar’s heart filled with joy, impatience clawing at him as he whined. “Oh, I want to see them so badly. Will it take long? Will it hurt her for a long time?” He fretted, worried for Soulspirit.

The brown she-kit let out a cry as she was warmed up, squirming around.
Soulspirit lifted her head, hearing her kit's cry. She purred, seeing the kit moving around and laid her head back down, "How many more?" she rasped, breathing heavily.

“Of course I’d never fight you! Just— what if someone else found you here?” Brownleaf sighed. Meadowbrook was a stubborn cat, and she knew him too well to be fazed by what he said. It was clear she wasn’t going to leave either, he at least needed to hear her out. “Fine, what is it?” He asked. (I think you missed this Blazer) |

Brownleaf, I am expecting kits, your kits...yet I refuse to have them be tainted by what Windclan is now.” She paused, before looking longingly at him. “You could come with me, out here. With our kits.” |

Eclipsesky stepped up beside Dawnshadow, placing his paw again on her stomach. He flicked his ears as he thought for a moment “Seems like two more. You’ll have your paws full.” He mewed in amusement.

Kits?!
Brownleaf simply stared at Meadowbrook, eyes wide with shock. It took him more then a few moments to process what she had said. They were going to have be parents... She wanted him to leave WindClan for her, for their kits. The invitation was alluring, he had to admit. Ever since she left, clan life felt monotone, dull. He could almost see it, a peaceful future of them, raising a family away from the pressures and strained state of WindClan. But being a clan cat was all he had ever known, he doubted he’d ever be able to leave it behind. Still...
“Meadowbrook, I-... I don’t know.”
He finally spoke, meeting his mate’s gaze. His resolve nearly broke at the longing gaze in her eyes. He had to remember she wasn’t who he thought she was, she was a cruel, cold-hearted cat. As he let, or rather, forced, those thoughts into his mind, his chest started tightening with frustration towards her.
“For StarClan’s sake, Meadowbrook! Why did you have to do this? Why did you have go join the Dark Forest and betray our clan?” He snapped, tearing his gaze away from hers. “I know us tunnelers are being treated unfairly, but murdering moor-runners did nothing to help us. We could have found a better way together, and you never would of had to leave. We could have still been together. Our... our kits could have been raised in a clan.” He trailed off, the sudden burst of fury flickering out into something akin to despondency.
“It’s not fair for those poor kits...” He murmured quietly. They didn’t deserve to be born into such a messed up situation like this, to be born to a murderer. They deserved a good life, untainted by their parent’s crimes. Even if he joined Meadowbrook, would they be able to give them that life?

Soulspirit gave a purr before laying her head back again, feeling another spasm.
The brown she kit stated squirming to her mother, catching her milk scent.

Eclipsesky nodded to the queen. “Push now Soulspirit, you’re almost there.” He encouraged gently.

Soulspirit gave another push, her teeth snapping shut on the stick as she did. The third kit was born, another she-kit.

Meadowbrook listened to her mate’s shout with a look of cold contemplation, though her tail lashed once in response. “Why would I ever force my kits to live in a place where they could be treated differently for how they wished to serve? For moons, it has been that way, and no amount of peace or kindness has changed anything. What I did? I did for the slightest hope that someone just as qualified, someone like you, could lead this clan one day and we could finally be recognized for everything we did for cats like them...I see now that even then, it was worthless. But you!” Meadowbrook stepped closer to him, her eyes gleaming with love. “You are still the tom I fell in love with. You still deserve so much more than whatever mess Windclan wants to offer you. Our kits will be stronger than any clan cat. Perhaps even one day, they will be the ones to bring change to Windclan.” She offered. |

Eclipsesky purred again as he went to retrieve the third kit. “Another she-kit. You’re doing great Soulspirit.” The Tom licked the kit until it started to cry, before moving it towards her siblings at the queen’s belly.

Several moments later, Eclipsesky nodded to the queen once more. "Push Soulspirit. You've done so well." The tom moved into position to get the last kit, smiling softly to the new mother.

The final kit was a wriggling light grey and white tomkit, who gave a muted squeak as he was brought into the world.

Eclipsesky placed the last kit at her belly, before nudging some herbs towards the queen. "Take these Soulspirit, they'll help with the pain and help your milk come in. They all look perfectly healthy, congratulations." With his job finished, he moved away towards the nursery entrance. "Cinderscar, you're now a father of four, come meet them."

“Thank you, Eclipsesky.” Soulspirit purred, licking the herbs up. After she got them down she turned back to her kits, licking the top of their heads. She nudged the whiteish gray she kit closer to her stomach, who had squirmed a little bit away.

“Four?! That many?!” Cinderscar exclaimed, his eyes lighting up with relief and joy. He padded past the medicine cat and pushed his way into the nursery. He looked at the four kits at Soulspirit’s side with wide eyes, a deep purr filling his chest as he breathed.
“They...they’re perfect. Oh, Soulspirit, they’re perfect.” He padded quickly to her side, grooming between her ears worriedly.
“Are you alright? Any altercations?”

Eclipsesky dipped his head to the new parents. "If you need anything, let me or Dawnshadow know." He then exited the den heading back to his nest with a yawn.
