Duskblaze rested his muzzle on top of Spiderstars head and sighed heavily, “This prey will only last us a day or two, we will need more food somehow” he murmured more to himself. As he spoke an explosion of thunder shook the cave making him wince, “Though I don’t think it will be safe for any cat to step outside”

Enjoying the close companionship with her mate, the shecat was content to rest there with her mate for the rest of time. “The prey will go to the queens and elders first,” she said almost absent minded, concentrating on the warmth and closeness of the tom. “I doubt there are any warriors here who wont mind going hungry for a day or two,” she explained with a yawn.
But she shifted a little at a discomfort in her belly, small and barely noticeable, but it was as though something was shifting within her flank, she grumbled gently. Not thinking anything of it as she moved to flatten a piece of fur still stuck upright from the rain. She failed to notice how similar it felt to how queens had described the kicking and movement of kits before.

Duskblaze perked up his ears as Spiderstar grumbled in discomfort, he rested his eyes on the she cat in concern, “Are you alright? You seem a bit squirmy...are you feeling ill?”

Grumbling in amusement she pressed close to his side and attempt to still her movements, not wishing to frustrate him with overactivity. “I feel squirmy, I think that mouse from earlier has come alive again in my stomach,” she purred with laughter. “Something seems to be stirring up a bit of a fuss,” she chuckled but seemed to think nothing of it.

"Duskblaze!" Stormfeather called as he entered the camp, a plump piece of fresh kill in his mouuth, evidence of a successful hunt. "What happened? It looks like a fox attacked the camp!! Is anyone hurt?" He dropped the fresh kill and walked over to him. "Did we drive out whatever it was that attacked the camp?"

Trying to keep his tone light he nuzzled his mates shoulder gently, “I wish you would get looked over, you’re sleeping longer and have bellyaches...” Duskblaze sniffed Spiderstars flank as if he could track down what was causing her to feel so uncomfortable. A sudden thought made him pause, he tried to shake it away but it kept lingering in the back of his mind.

Noticing the way her mate paused beside her flank, the leader twitched her ears with a yawn. “Whats wrong? You look worried?” She asked, knowing that look on her mates expression all too well. He rarely rid his face of it except for when she was around him and he new she was safe. Spiderstar moved to nuzzle her mate across the ear with a purr, “Do you think you’re a medicine cat now and know what’s wrong?” She asked with a playful tone.]

The freezing wind began to blow harder which made some of the rain sprinkle inside the den, he twitched his whiskers and shuffled his paws before responding. “It’s just...you don’t think...maybe you are...” Duskblaze flicked his tail at Fawnfur to gesture to her swollen belly. He was too afraid to say the words aloud.

Spiderstar shifted to see what her mate had pointed at, and froze where she sat. Eyes wide and jaw agape, she said nothing for a short moment, completely derived of all words that could possibly begin to help her reply. It made sense, it all added up. Her sleeping in, gained appetite, the discomfort in her belly, in that moment she felt very sick. No idea of what on earth she could say in response until at last she came out with, “I think I might be.”

Duskblaze stared at his mate in shock, how could StarClan let this happen? Having kits in the middle of leafbare and when this storm is just beginning could only end badly. Realizing he didn’t respond to Spiderstar he made his mind check back into reality, “I-I don’t know what to say...” as he was gazing at Spiderstar a mixture of emotions rushed through his body. Joy, excitement, love, and fear. An incredible amount of fear, “Spiderstar, this is wonderful!” He brushed against her soft pelt while a deep purr erupted from his chest, “We’re going to have kits!”

Fear had etched its way onto the shecat’s expression as well, but hers was for an entirely different reason. She was the clan leader, how in the name of StarClan could she raise a litter and take care of her clan the way she needed to. She looked at her belly, only the slightest bit distended but barely noticeable of the life which now lived inside her. She said nothing for a moment, only shock coming from her in waves.
Then as normal her mate brought her back to reality, and she in fact realised how amazing this was going to be. Spiderstar pressed close to her mate and stayed there for a moment, entirely silent. “I cant believe it,” she whispered though her words were laced with joy. “Kits of our own.”

Fawnfur waited anxiously while Brokenfrost collected moss for nests and sighed with relief when he walked back into the nursery pressing herself against his cold wet fur trying to keep him warm and comfort herself at the same time as the thunder rumbled outside. Fawnfur opened her mouth to say something as a spasm ripped through her body. With the force of it she fell down into her nest. She looked back up at her mate, her eyes wide with fear. “The kits. I think they are coming” She wailed

Brokenfrost had settled into the makeshift nest beside his mate with a rumbling sigh, trying to get comfortable in spite of how soaked his fur was and how crowded the den was. He pressed close to her, and had half fallen asleep when his mate wailed and jerked him upright. It took a moment for him to fully comprehend what she had said, and panic lit him almost immediayly when it did. “StarClan no, not now.”

Fawnfur nodded “I think so” She meowed the fear evident in her voice as she looked around the den all too aware of how crowded the den was.

Pressing his nose into her flank, his tail twitching from side to side, he called out as loudly as he could over the crashing of thunder above their heads. “Owlgaze.Mistypaw, Fawnfur needs your help,” he yelled, desperate. The cats in the radius of the kitting queen did what they could to provide her more space, but there was little which could be done.

(I’ll just stall until med cats get on)
Fawnfur groaned as her pelt rippled with another contraction. She gritted her teeth looking around for Owlgaze and Mistypaw. She let out a groan as she saw they were nowhere to be seen. Probably storing herbs away from the flood waters. She looked up at her mate pressing her nose to his hoping to Starclan she wasn’t going to have to do this without the medicine cats.
A pure white she cat made her way through the crowd to the pair and looked up at Brokenfrost. “Her kits are coming?” Swansong guessed looking at her brother with concern.

Resting his long tail across his mate's flank, trying desperately to comfort her but never before had he felt so completely useless. All he could do was watch the shecat he loved spasm and flinch in pain as she struggled to bring their kits into the world. When his sister approached, the tom looked to her with terror apparent in his gaze. "I cant find the medicine cats."

Swansong looked from her brother, to his mate, and then around the cramped den. She sighed and looked at her brother “stay with her. I’ll find Spiderstar.” She turned around and trotted to the other side of the den where her leader lay with her mate. Their conversation looked intense and she felt bad interrupting but she had no choice. “Spiderstar it’s Fawnfur. Her kitting has started.” She told her leader trying to remain calm

Not needing to be told twice, the handsome tom rested down beside his mate, licking her over the ear in desperate attempts to comfort her and make himself useful. Wrapping his tail around the pair of them.
On hearing her name, the leader lifted herself to her paws with a new caution to how she carried herself. Now knowing that the likelihood was that she was not just protecting herself anymore, but something a thousand times more precious. She tilted her head, eyes widening at the news, she let out a rippling sigh. "StarClan has strange timings sometimes," she admitted before making her way through the piles of cats and towards the kitting queen.

Fawnfur leaned into Brokenfrost feeling comfort from her mates touch as she took deep breaths through the pain. “Don’t you leave me during this.” She warned him knowing she couldn’t do this without her mate.

"Never," he promised solemnly, having no intention on leaving her side no matter who tried to make him. The entire army of starclan wouldn't have been able to move him from that spot in this moment.
Spiderstar lowered herself to the ground beside Fawnfur's face and meowed with a quiet tone of voice, "Are you quite certain?" she asked, looking down to the queen's distended belly, knowing all too well that it wouldn't be long before she too would be in this position, and the idea frightened her a little.

Fawnfur looked at her leader with a hint of desperation in her eyes “I don’t know. This is my first time. But if it’s not the kits then something is horribly wrong.” Just as the last word came out of her mouth another spasm rippled down her pelt. She looked at her leader her eyes filled with fear as it passed

“Then we must assume the best until it comes to the worst,” she said firmly mangling to force her voice to sound at least a little confident, she settled down beside the queen and rested a paw on the queens flank. She could somewhat remember what to do from other births she’d witnessed, she could only hope that little knowledge would suffice. “I think you’re going to need to push another now,” she declared as a particularly strong one struck beneath her paw.
