Brokenfrost had heard the tom's panicked words, and didn't think twice before turning and lunging in the direction of the camp exit. Picking up on the scents of the two medicine cats, the young tom charged as fast as his paws could take him until he at last came across the pair in the herb hollow. Panting as he skidded to a stop, "You're needed in the camp," he panted. "I think Stormflight's kits may be coming," he spoke as calmly as he could manage between gasps of breath.
Stormflight had collapsed into her nest with gentle pants, the pains slowly becoming more intense she let out a low moan of pain. "Redwind," she whimpered when she saw her mate leave. Not wanting to be left alone in the most terrifying moment of her life.

☪ RP >> Lightingfoot had been near by when Redwing stumbled into the healers den, he sighed. Before getting up and padding over to the Healer's den, "Rainshimmer and Sorrelpaw went to the herb hollow." He paused as he stopped infront of the tom, "I can go fetch them." He offered, his tone urgent. He could sense the urgency, he looked to the nursery; Stromflight must have started her kitting.

» R e d w i n d • C a m p S t o r m f l i g h t / L i g h t n i n g f o o t Redwind looked less stressed as Brokenfrost darted out of camp to presumably find the Healers. "Calm down, you're not helping anybody by being like this," he scolded himself. He needed to get back to Stormflight - he at least wanted to be there for her while waiting for them to return. What if they didn't come in time? Was there anybody who could help her? Redwind quickly turned around as he was heading back to the Nursery, "Thank you Lightningfoot. I think Brokenfrost went out to find them but I can't be sure. I don't know what to do," he fretted, turning back again to slip into the nursery to see his mate. "Stormflight? We're getting help".

Looking up when she heard her mate reenter, she let out a gentle whimper as her sides continued to shudder as contractions hit her in waves. Her eyes closed as a groan slipped from her lips. When the most recent pain subsided she tried to lift her head. "StarClan let them hurry, it hurts," she spoke weakly. The pain already beginning to drain her of her much needed energy.

☪ RP >> Rainshimmer could hear the panting breathe's of Brokenfrost as he near the two, she was just about to go into the Herb hollow when she stopped and turned around looking at the somewhat out of breathe tom. "Brokenfrost? What's wrong?" Was her first question although her tone was a tad worried. There could be only one thing that she could think of, Stormflight must have started her kitting. She thought as she looked at the tom in the eye, then she looked to Sorrelpaw. "Stormflight must have started kitting." She mewed, still grabbing the leaf pouch of honey she started off towards camp. When she had went to look for those poppies she thought she heard a howl, but it was loud like she knew the wail of a kitting queen, plug your ears.

Brokenfrost took off after Rainshimmer, his heart already pounding from having pelted his way here but he didn't seem to care. Intent on keeping up with the medicine cat to ensure that she didn't get into trouble on her way back to camp, especially not at a time when she was needed the most.

» S o r r e l p a w • T o w a r d s C a m p R a i n s h i m m e r / S t o r m f l i g h t Sorrelpaw clenched tightly onto the poppies in her mouth and tried her best not to look nervous, though she was doing a fairly bad job. When they reached camp, Sorrelpaw hastily took off into the Healer's den and dropped the herbs and rushed back towards her mentor, "Anything I need to get for her?" She pressed her mentor for something to do in order to not have to be there to witness the birth of the new kits. As the orange dappled apprentice urged for something to do, she recognized her father's pelt disappearing into the nursery. "What's he doing in there?" She thought, puzzled.

She winked at the apprentice before heading to the nursery, he popped her head in and mewed, "Excuse me, it's me Rainshimmer mind if I come in?" her voice was soft and polite.

At the sound of the medicine cat at the entrance to the den, Stormflight quietly thanked StarClan that she had at last arrived. Whimpering quietly she struggled to raise her voice enough that it could be heard from outside the den, "Come in before I drag you in here myself." She said with a weak voice, her normal temperament on the wind, pain and panic taking over pretty much everything about the normally kind and calm young shecat.

» S o r r e l p a w • C a m p R e d w i n d "I'll do my best," Sorrelpaw said to her mentor, bellowing a large sigh and chasing after her father. "Redwind! You can't be in here right now. You can see these new kits like the rest of us when everything's finished", her tail flickered in frustration. "Where is the kits' father?" She wondered, though quickly dismissing the thoughts as unimportant, and rather focusing on the patient. "I'm going to get her some water," Sorrelpaw said in a calmer tone, not wanting to frighten Stormflight. She padded off into the Healer's den for some thick, fresh moss that would easily collect water and went to soak some collected water just outside of the entrance of camp. She padded back to the den with soaking moss dripping down her chest and held onto it for whenever her mentor deemed it necessary to have her drink.

A frown lacing her face when the apprentice chased off her mate, the queen flattened her ears in protest. She wanted him beside her more than anything in that moment, terrified at the prospect of being left alone without a cat she fully trusted she would have pushed herself to her paws had she not been rendered almost incapable by the pain. "I don't want him to leave," she said with a whimper.

» R e d w i n d • C a m p A l o n e He paced back and fourth near the Veteran's den beside the den that housed his mate and soon to be born kits. "Maybe it's best I'm not in there with her, overwhelming her and getting in the way of things," he thought glumly, "it's not like I was there when Sorrelpaw and Rainpaw were born," he looked anxiously towards the entrance of the Nursery, his striped tail flickering and hardly able to keep any part of himself still.

(I was going to have one and see if anyone else wanted one)
Realising she wasn't going to get her way, Stormflight sank back into her nest with a distressed look on her face. Whimpering again as she began to pant with the worsening pain, her instincts told her to push and with all her might she heaved. Looking to the medicine cat with a level of desperation for help.

» S o r r e l p a w • N u r s e r y S t o r m f l i g h t "She's bleeding too much," Sorrelpaw hissed under her breath with frustration, "her pulse is weak". The small apprentice couldn't let anybody see the mother like this. She touched her nose lightly to the four tiny kits that tried to nuzzle up to their mother's belly that had become stained bright red with blood. "No, no kits you need to stay away," Sorrelpaw wailed, feeling the pressure of the situation increasingly weighing down on her shoulders. She stumbled out of the nursery and into the herb storage, fumbling around for raspberry leaves and thyme. "Is this thyme? Please be thyme. This sort of looks like goatweed . . ." She hisses at herself, frustrated and desperate. She takes whatever she could find and rushes back into the nursery. "Stormflight, I'm going to chew this up and I need you to swallow it," she instructed, though her voice shook. » R e d w i n d • C a m p A l o n e Redwind sat stoically right outside of the camp entrance, his gaze glued to his paws. After his daughter had announced that Stormflight was having trouble kitting and was losing a lot of blood, Redwind had been in disbelief. He first wailed and cursed, accusing Sorrelpaw of lying, accusing her of doing something to cause such a terrible thing, but in the end Redwind simply shut down and suffered silently by himself, unable to go into the nursery to perhaps see his mate one last time, or to see the beautiful kits that they had just had, as he would have just gotten in the way and made the situation that much more stressful. So he just sat motionless, his chest barely moving as he struggled to remember basic things like breathing.
{ Littleflower - Hahah hope this is alright that she's bleeding and I didn't god-mod here. 𝕾𝖙𝖔𝖗𝖒𝖗𝖆𝖌𝖊 - That's good with me if it's good with Littleflower! }

(no worries, it's fine, and darn that hurt my heart to read, and yeah your welcome to Ghost! I'm going to have a tom called Shadowkit)
Stormflight was very barely conscious, her eyes like lead as she fought to keep them open and her head dizzy she seemed delirious. Weakly she attempted to touch the newborn kits, to comfort their tiny wails as her instincts told her to care for them. But she had no energy left, drained of everything she had, the slender queen lay in a pool of her own blood, fighting a battle she was beginning to lose. Her black ear twitched slightly at the sound of the apprentice's words, but there was little other reaction to indicate she had heard.
The four kits beside her were mewling weakly, they too having taken the toll of the difficult kitting and still covered in their mother's blood. The source of the problem, a particularly small kit who had become stuck early on in the process was struggling especially. Coughing weakly, his tiny lungs struggling to take in the air he needed to survive.

» S o r r e l p a w • N u r s e r y S t o r m f l i g h t "You're not going anywhere Stormflight. These kits have barely met their mother yet, Stormflight. There are four of them, and they are all so precious and perfect. Please eat this," the apprentice begged, shoving the poultice into the she-cat's mouth, grabbing a bit of wet moss and squeezing the water into her mouth so the herbs would go down easier. "Just swallow, that's all you have to do," Sorrelpaw tried to coax her the best that she could, putting her paw underneath Stormflight's chin and pushing it up and down lightly to help her get the herbs down quickly. With all of this attention to the mother she had almost no chance to check on the kits. Rainshimmer was doing her part the best that she could but even with the two of them it was hardly enough. Sorrelpaw sniffed the kits one by one, until she came to a particularly wet kitten - drenched in blood and much smaller than the rest, hanging on to a few last breaths. She nosed the tiny tom, willing him to come back, "This is exactly what I fear," Sorrelpaw whispered to herself, anger and misery plastered across her face, "I'll be right back little one," She whispered as she went back to the herb storage a last time and came back with a wad of cobwebs that she pressed to Stormflight's bleeding.

Eyes only just staying open, with what little remained of her energy she lapped up the herbs and forced them down her throat. She coughed with the effort but managed to keep them down well enough that they didn't come up again with her last meal. Stormflight continued to try and lift herself so that she could see her newborns, worsening her bleeding to an extent but intent on at the very least meeting them, in case this was going to be her last time with them. Her words were weak, exhausted. "They're perfect," she whispered as the apprentice returned to the den. Lowering her nose to weakly lick at them, shaking with the effort of staying upright, and not long after she collapsed beside her new litter. Going limp in the nest, and still heaving for breath, she let out a quiet meow. "Can Redwind meet them?" She stammered, "In case something happens... I want to see him one last time."
The little tom mewled weakly at the touch of the medicine cat, no bigger then even the apprentice's paw and only just clinging to life, and that was only for the time being his future was uncertain, but he seemed to be fighting for the time being.
