Noticing the slight drop of Goldenstorm's tail, she felt a sense of guilt setting in. Nightsky sighed sadly, "I just wanted to live my life to its full potential. To become the best hunter in our clan--and with kits? That probably won't happen." She sat down and began to gnaw at the prey. Feeling like she needed to apologize, she meowed, "Would you like to share? The crow, I mean." It was hard for her to apologize for anything, so this was the best she could do right now.

"Nightsky, you still have your whole life ahead of you. It may not seem like it but six moons will come and go before you can blink. Your kits will be apprentices and you can return to being the best hunter. As an added bonus you can even give your kits tips on how to be great hunters like you." The tom thought of when he first brought Lakepaw to the clan. Three moons had passed so quickly that he didn't get to enjoy her kithood. Goldenstorm smiled at Nightsky's offer, "Thank you for the offer, but I've already eaten." He licked a paw before continuing in a lowered voice. "You have nothing to apologize for. You did nothing wrong."

(Should she give birth rn lmao?)
(You know, for drama or something)
Nightsky shuffled her paws awkwardly and resumed eating. "How's Lakepaw?" She asked gingerly, "How's being an apprentice for her?" She thought of her unborn kit/s as she asked this, her head tilt slightly to one side.

(I don't really see why not xD Lakepaw is a medicine cat apprentice)
"She seems to be catching onto the life of a medicine cat very well, but truth be told I don't really know." The tom sighed, his tail drooping again. "Ever since I told Lakepaw the truth about her mother, she's refused to even acknowledge my existence." Goldenstorm inwardly sighed as he only told Lakepaw the partial truth. Only himself, the leader, and the medicine cat knew the truth of Sweet; the blood thirsty kittypet that manipulated a young warrior.

"That's good, I-" Nightsky caught herself as she promptly swore loudly. "Starclan!" she yowled, spitting out the bite of prey that had been in mid chew. "I-I think they're coming," she hissed vaguely.

Goldenstorm was startled by Nightsky's yowl. His heart raced with momentary panic. "I'll go get Lakepaw." The tom felt guilty for leaving the she-cat alone but there was no other choice. He raced to the medicine den as fast as he could. "Lakepaw!" The tom called for his kit. "It's Nightsky, her kits are coming." Lakepaw who had been sorting herbs turned to her father with a disbelieving look. However as soon as the apprentice saw Goldenstorm she knew he wasn't lying. Quickly she gathered the herbs she needed instructing the dumbstruck tom to help her carry them. The duo quickly made it back to Nightsky.

"It hurts!" Nightsky groaned, laying her head down on the ground, "It's awful!" She lifted her head for a bit, "Come on! Hurry up and get them out of me!" She was fed up with the whole pregnancy business and she had a low tolerance for pain. "Hurry and get to it!" SHe swore again as a spasm over took her.

"We have to get you into a nest first." Lakepaw mumbled around the herbs in her mouth. She gently nudged the queen up hissing for Goldenstorm to help move Nightsky. After getting the queen into a nest, Lakepaw set the herbs down near Nightsky. "Eat these they'll help." Goldenstorm sat there dumb as a kit, not knowing what was going on. He didn't even hear Lakepaw when she spoke. "Mousebrain go get a stick and some water soaked moss." The apprentice repeated herself. The tom dashed out of the nursery and came back with what was requested.

Nightsky groaned as they set her down in her nest. Chewing up the herbs the medicine cat apprentice told her to, she prayed to Starclan for it to stop hurting and just be other already. "Mousebrain!" she hissed in pain, "Hurry!"

(I'm not sure how many kits your having or what gender they'll be so here goes nothing)
"Use the stick to bite down on." Lakepaw gave the stick to Nightsky. After a little while longer it was time for the first kit. "Alright Nightsky push!" The appentice instructed the queen.

(Hmm....how about two? One male, one female?
...typical, I know)
NIghtsky bit down on the stick as she felt the first kit pop out. "What-who..." she asked tiredly, but not before another spasm took over. "MOre??" she cried out in despair.

(Nah it's cool easier to keep track of charries.)
"It's a she-cat Nightsky." Lakepaw said she the first kit was born. Turning to Goldenstorm she hissed at him, "Why don't you do something usefu, and lick the kit. Be gentle!" The apprentice turned her attention back to the queen. "Here drink some water Nightsky it'll be a little bit before the next one." She held the water soaked moss in her teeth for the queen.

The kit mewled after a few licks from the tom. She began to cry from hunger.
Nightsky lay there, tired, "There's more?" she complained, biting down on the moss soaked with water. This was way too draining for her. She hoped she would never have to do any of this again. A spasm over took her again as she struggled to pop out the second kit.
(There, I thought I posted but apparently not :/)

(Oops xD So do you know the basics of the kits yet or?)
Again the time came for the next kit. "Push Nightsky." After a few moments the second kit was born. "It's a tom. Her lick him." Lakepaw gently nudged the little kit towards the queen. "That's it Nightsky you did it." Lakepaw purred. Goldenstorm felt a little pride in what he did for the kit. He gently nudged her towards her mother's belly. "Congratulations Nightsky."

( So for the tom: blue eyes (after his mother), jet black pelt?
She-cat: light grey and Amber eyes?)
Nightsky felt unbelievably accomplished. She looked lovingly at the two kits now nestled beside her belly. "Thank you," she breathed to the medicine cat apprentice.

(Ebonyfrost for the tom and Shadegem for the she-cat?)
"Here eat these," Lakepaw set down some more herbs next to the queen "These will help your milk come in." The apprentice purred at the sight of the small family, having a soft spot for kits. She left the nursery to let the queen bond with her kits. Goldenstorm was amazed at what just happened. He was all the more appreciative of queens. "They're amazing Nightsky." The tom spoke softly so as not to frighten the kits.

(I'll go with Ebonyfrost but I'll just keep SHade, for now)
Nightsky purred tiredly, "They're pretty much perfect, aren't they?" She sighed as she nursed the kits. "What do you think I should name them? I have no idea." Her tail tapped the ground next to her as a silent request for him to join her.

Goldenstorm happily accept the request, he settled down beside the tired queen and tucked his paws underneath him. "You really want my help?" The tom wasn't against it, he even had a a few ideas.

"Yes," Nightsky grumbled, "Name them....I don't want to get too attached." Clearly, Nightsky didn't know the first thing about being a mother, nor anything about kits, for that matter.

"You do too. You just don't know it yet." The tom chuckled, he was actually growing fond of the she-cat, he just wasn't realizing it. "How about Ebonykit for the tom and Shadekit for the she-cat?" Goldenstorm offered the names that he first thought of. They were tributes to the kits he lost to Sweet's claws.

"Hmm, sure, whatever you say," Nightsky meowed in what she hoped sounded like a bored tone. "I don't really care." Goldenstorm had been one of the few cats to actually try and talk to her, as most find her too cold to be a good company.

"Sure you don't." Goldenstorm said sarcastically. "By the way if you're trying to push me away it's too late. I've got my claws in you and now we're friends." The tom arrogantly boasted, then added a quick comment. "Plus I'm invested in the kits now, since you let me name them."

"Psh," Nightsky pshed, "You can have them, for all I care!" She deliberately ignored the friends comment.

"Nah you know you want them. That way you know the clan will have more trust worthy cats." Goldenstorm joking said.

Nightsky almost purred. "Mhmm," she grumbled closing her eyes for a bit and dozed off from the tiredness of birth-giving.
Ebonykit mewled loudly as his mother dozed off with her belly covered. He began stumbling towards Goldenstorm, almost as if he were complaining.
His sister, on the other hand, had dozed off in the nest.
(Would you want to rp Shadekit?)

(I don't mind if you don't)
The golden tom smiled and gently licked Ebonykit. "You should rest like your mother and sister, young one." Goldenstorm spoke softly to the kit as he watched it stumble around.

(If you want, I just think it's cool when people that are related or etc are rped by different people--cause it usually doesn't happen)
(Sorry for the poof btw!)
Ebonykit mewled in protest, batting at the toms tail clumsily.
(You can make her your own character and everything)

"Aren't you a feisty one?" Goldenstorm licked the small tom again trying to sooth him.
