Shatteredlake shot up, his fur spiking with fear. "The kits are coming?" He asked, but one look at his mate told him the answer. "The kits are coming!" Shatteredlake raced from the nursery and towards the medicine cat's den where he stood panting, searching for Wolfheart. "Wolfheart! Aloevera's kits are coming!" He cried into the den before racing back to his mate.
Morninglight hesitantly stepped forward until water lapped at her paws. It was cold, not like the warm sand or cool forest floor. It nipped at her toetips and made her shiver. Slowly, she took step by step until water scraped the fur on her underbelly. The water seemed calmer once she was in it, and instead of crashing against her, it just tugged her legs slightly, a gentle ebb and flow that wanted her to dive deeper. Gaining a little confidence, she turned around and splashed Bubblepop in the face with a giggle.
Dovepaw was caught off guard as she was attacked, her mind moving slower than her mentor's as she was tossed about. Suddenly, she was pinned to the ground, struggling to slip away. With a sigh, Dovepaw quit her struggling and went limp.
Hawkflight noticed Dustpaw moving up the rocks. "Be careful, Dustpaw! I don't want to fish you out of the water too!"

Wolfheart startled when Shatteredlake raced to him, announcing that Aloevera was kitting. "The kits are coming? Oh, StarClan, the kits are coming!" A queen kitting was almost always stressful, after all, it wasn't just the life of one cat that was at risk. Wolfheart dashed into his den to get herbs that would help: raspberry leaves, fennel, and ragwort leaves should work just fine. He ran after Shatteredlake and back to the nursery, rushing to Aloevera's side. "It's alright, you can do this," Wolfheart encouraged, using a paw to massage the queen's stomach and to try and ease the process. He gave Aloevera some of the raspberry leaves, instructing her to chew them to help ease pain.

Highprince. Shouldn't he have gotten the herbs he would need for the kitting first??))

Shatteredlake paced back and forth in the small den, his tail swaying from side to side. Every so often, he would stop and ask how it was going before setting his quick, anxious pace once more.

((Ack, you're right. This is what I get for trying to write while distracted - I'll edit my post)) should've grabbed borage leaves for milk production as well.)) Aloevera was trying her hardest to stay calm but her nerves were already beginning to get the best of her. "No. I can't do this! I'm not ready. I'm nowhere near ready!" Her eyes were wide in panic and her fur was beginning to rise along her spine.

Shatteredlake gave his mate soothing licks atop her head, brushing down the spiking fur along her spine with his tail. "You'll be alright, my love," he murmured in her ear. "You can do this."

"But what if I mess up? Or I'm not a good mother? What if they all hate me?!" She began to hyperventilate, her worries and thoughts getting the best of her.
(How many kits should she have? And how many are you wanting to rp??)

(I would be willing to rp two or three, so add that onto however many you would like. I'm thinking she should have within the range of 1-4, if possible, 5 at the max))
Shatteredlake showered her ears with licks, trying to calm down his mate. "You won't mess up. You will be a wonderful mother. None of them will hate you, I'm sure of it."

Aloevera was still unsure but she also felt a need to be strong for her mate and for her kits. Finally eating the raspberry leaves the she-cat situated herself and nodded at Wolfheart. "Okay... I'm ready."

Blacktooth silently follows the patrol mostly keeping an eye on the other cats. He still felt uneasy about the other cats and the merger in general.
Greywind looks down at the water and watches the fish swim back and forth. He flicks his tail and slowly lifts up his paw ready to strike at one of the fish swimming by.

Are you okay with names that are out there? Things like Hex or even Pangolin or Fairy?))

((I would prefer names to be something that the cats would know about, but if you have any names you are unsure about, just ask! I think Fairy is alright, and Pangolin, but Hex isn't really in their vocabulary i would think.
I'll make one kit as well.))

Wolfheart was relieved to see that Shatteredlake was able to calm his mate down. Kitting was hard enough as it was, a panicking mother would only make things that much worse. He silently hoped to StarClan that this would all go well and Aloevera and her kits would all be healthy. "Once these kits start coming, stopping is only going to make it dangerous. So start pushing, and try not to stop for too long; I'm sure you'll do fine."

Shatteredlake kept his gaze on his mate, hoping that everything would go alright during the kitting. He gave her another lick between her ears before whispering comforting words to her. "You can do this, I believe in you. They will be beautiful, just like you. I love you, Aloevera."

littlesong42Maybe Dustpaw or Newsand would fit with King as a love interest? You can look at both and tell me if either of them catch your eye.)) Aloevera took a few deep breaths, forcing her nerves to calm and readying herself as another wave of pain washed over her and she began to push. A yowl of pain was ripped from her throat and she clenched her jaw shut, her teeth clattering together painfully as she smelled blood and her head went hazy with pain.

(I like vibe Newsand gives me, but before I make my decision I will wait for a few more people to join the Clan))
Shatteredlake began to pace again as he heard his mate's agonized howl. She's strong, she can get through this, He thought to himself over and over. But his heart was racing, worrying that she wouldn't be alright.

Wolfheart tried not to wince at Aloevera's pained yowl. The leaves he'd given her should help with that, as well as the bleeding. "You're doing great," he assured before turning to Shatteredlake. "Could you go grab a stick - one that won't break easily? It will help her manage the pain."

Shatteredlake hesitated, not wanting to leave his mate alone, but he grudgingly trotted quickly out of the nursery to search for a sturdy stick for her. It took him a while, but he found one near the Elder's den, and he raced back as fast as possible so he could be back with Aloevera.

The she-cat was panting when her mate returned and she accepted the stick gratefully. "Th-The first kit. It's almost here. I can feel it." The she-cat only managed to get that much out before another wave of pain passed over her body and she pushed again, the first kit finally being born into the world as their mother cried put in pain and tears found their way to her eyes.
(We'll say Spectralkit is born first, followed by Cloudedkit and then Vanillakit. Is that okay with you?)
