(Sure I don't mind)
"Yup, your kits are on the way." He glances back towards the nursery before looking back at her. "Come in and lay down near the pool of water." He felt nervous and excited at the same time. These would be the first kits ever to be born in the clan! "Now these contractions can anywhere to a few minutes to a couple of hours."
Bagertooth leaves the warriors den and lets out a loud yawn. the sounds of his clanmates getting up had woken him up and he couldn't get back to sleep. He glances around wondering what everyone was up too.

Snowmask nods. She looks terrified and young. Being only 19 moons she is inexperienced with birth. She walks into the medicine den and layed by the pool. "Can you send someone to get Applefall? I need him." She whimpers. She gasps as another contraction rips through her. Lasting longer than the others. She blinks as black covers her vision for a second. She forces herself to breathe as the pain subsides again.

"Her kits are coming! I want you to go and find Applefall. Check over by the warriors den." Ratwhisper mewed. He turned his attention to Snowmask. "You are doing so well Snowmask, Try and take deep even breathes." He glances around before finding a study looking stick and walks over to retrieve it.
(How many kits is she going to have?)

(He's in the nursery. And 4. Ivy can post descriptions since she is rping them)
Snowmask nodded. "He's asleep in the Nursery since there's no one but me in there." She said to Ashpaw and Ratwhisper. She nodded to the medicine cat and proceeded to take the deepest,steadied breath she could force out despite her pain.

So Ivy can't post through the tapatalk app rn and that's the only way she can log in but she wants birth order to be Whitekit, Rosekit, Nightkit, and Patchkit.
Nightkit(sky): 0 moons. Black she-cat with a white chest and green eyes. She has a dark alluring beauty deep and mysterious as the star-studded sky she was named after. As beautiful as she is that isn't her only quality. She is intelligent and loves to escape into her mind. She loves to strategize and think out everything before approaching a situation. Ivy
Whitekit(hawk): 0 moons. Calico tom with mostly white and blue eyes. (they're rare, I know, but they still happen.)His wide shoulders and quick wit make him a deadly opponent but he wants others to see him for more than his masculinity. He wants to be able to enjoy the beauty in life without being considered weak. Despite loving kits he will never be able to have any of his own. Ivy
Patchkit(fur): 0 moons. white tom with ginger patches and green eyes. He loves to fight and hunt. He will always be the first in line to be assigned to a patrol or go into a battle. One of his goals in life is to be able to pass his knowledge on to younger cats. Ivy
Rosekit(dapple): 0 moons. Ginger tabby she-cat with white paw's and chest; eyes are blue. She is playful and curious. She loves to play with the clan's kits but is unsure if she wants some of her own. She goes through life as though everything is new to her. She looks at everything with a kit-like fascination meaning life never gets boring for her. Ivy)

Got in)
The kits kicked and squirmed in Snowmask's belly. It's as though they knew their world would change soon. From the saftey if the womb to the wilderness of the forest.

Applefall heard a cry and realized as he awoke that he heard his mate's new name. He shot up and climbed out of the Nursery to see a young she-cat standing there and thought she must be the one to cry out. "Huh" he said sleepily. Not processing what she had said before he truly woke up.

Rustpelt, Swiftfur, Cloudsky (all open)
Rustpelt Rustpelt saw Swiftfur running towards her, looking both frantic and excited. "Did you hear, Snowmask is having her kits!" She called. "That's great, we'll have to see then soon, but first," she said, smoothing her sister's pelt over with her tail, "we should let her do her thing, and at least let her mate see the kits before you come barging in." Rustpelt saw Swiftfur's face fall, she had always had a soft spot for kits, and sometimes wondered if she would stick to her word of not having kits. Rustpelt smiled, new kits in the Clan would be exciting

Fernfeather with Shadowfoot and Morningmist Fernfeather turned from watching Moleshade and Silverrose as the siblings turned up. "Good morning." She chirped. She looked at both siblings and smiled. "I've done okay so far this morning. But I'm wondering if one of the patrol leaders will pick one of us to go with them to explore. By the way that cat looks she was chosen as one of them and so is the tom she's talking to. (Moleshade and Crescentsmoke.) And Embermask must be chosen with Silverrose talking to her." Dawnmist Shadowfoot nodded as Fernfeather spoke, inspecting the cats she was talking about. “I see, I’m not too worried about it.” The tom yawned and glanced around the rest of the camp, everyone was shifting around and talking to each other, and most of them were getting ready to go on patrol. Morningmkst shifted a bit, “it would be nice to get out of camp.” She mewed quietly as she watched the other cats with Shadowfoot.

"Use this stick to bite down as you push." Ratwhisper explained as he crouches down near her belly. He hoped Applefall would come quickly.

Applefall recoiled at Ashpaw's hit. "We need to talk about how to respect your elders but that can wait." He rushed to the Medicine Cat Den and slowly walked inside. He walked over and touched hid nose to Snowmask's and sat down near her but out of Ratwhisper's way.
Snowmask looked up and saw her mate come in and immediately looked more ready. She nodded to Ratwhisper and took the stick in her mouth. She bit it and beared down with an injured noise coming from her throat.

(Do you want me to make a big post about all the kits or do it one by one?) How about 2 and 2. So there is a little interaction. I feel like Ratwhisper would probably send off Blizzardpaw and if he didn't Applefall would. Whitekit and Rosekit. Then Nightkit and Patchkit. )

(Noted)
Ratwhisper gently places his paw on her belly in an estimate how many she would have. He thought three or four at the very least. He takes notice of Blizzardpaw and narrows his eyes. "Please leave us be!" He whips his head back just as the first kit was coming. After a good push, he picks up a small calico looking kit. Ratwhisper gives him a few licks before placing him near her belly. Next kit to come was a little ginger tabby. "You are doing really well Snowmask. Just one or two more okay?"

Embermask - with Silverrose
She chuckled at Silverrose's comment about how not much changed for some cats when they grew older. She definitely had met some cats that was true for. At the mention of appointing a deputy she nodded. "Oh, right. Do you already have anyone in mind? There are quite a few experienced cats here, after all," she meowed. "Their clans may have a few different traditions than your former one but that shouldn't be too much of an issue." Then she shot another brief glance towards the medicine den. "So, uh, do you mind if I wait a little so I know everything goes well for Snowmask and her kits? I'll pick the cats for my patrol right after that, I promise," she said with a light purr and a hopeful smile.
Brightpaw - with Willowpaw
"Well, the patrol leaders will pick some cats soon so maybe we and our mentors can get on the same one," he mused. He gave her an encouraging smile. "The groups won't be too big so it's a good way to get more used to the others. And Melonburr is really nice so he's definitely a cat you could get along with." As he said that he glanced over to where Melonburr was and then turned back to Willowpaw. "But speaking of our mentors, what about yours? I haven't really met Badgertooth yet."

Snowmask and Applefall with Ratwhisper and Ashpaw.
Snowmask looked up at Ratwhisper with the stick in her mouth. There was fear in her eyes as she bore down again. Feeling a change in pressure as the kits started coming out. She purred and looked up at Applefall then down at the two kits at her stomach.
Applefall gasped as Ratwhisper turned and placed the kits next to his mate's belly. He leaned forward and licked the calico on the head and nudged him to the milk as if on instinct.
Silverrose with Embermask
Silverrose nodded and smiled. "It is good of you to be concerned for her and the kits. You've obviously bonded well in the past couple of days. But keep in mind Ratwhisper will not leave her until she is well settled. Nor will I leave without making sure one of the more mature mothers keeps an eye on her." She said this with no air of dominance over the other just wisdom and a calm demeanor.

Willowpaw with Brightpaw
Willowpaw knocked her head playfully into Birghtpaw's and smiled. "I'm sure most of the cats in this clan are perfectly friendly. And Melonburr seems pretty nice. Badgertooth is very kind though he seems as though he'd be very stern too. He was very reasonable about how to handle me despite my crying yesterday. He taught ne to hunt though I didn't catch anything." She smiled again. "I think the pregnant she-cat is having her kits." She purred eyes wide with wonder.
Two born kits names yet to be determined
As the world became brighter Whitekit squeaked. He moved and shimmied around as Ratwhisper set him next to Snowmask. As someone else nuzzled him he let out a shrill cru before suckling to his mother at the smell of milk.
Rosekit did much the same but rather quicker was she to latch to her mother and start drinking.

Embermask - with Silverrose
"Of course," she purred. "And I'm not gonna run over to see what's going on. But as long there's no one panicking over there everything should be fine." She smiled a little. "I might go over to congratulate her and Applefall later though once things re calmer. They've really been looking forward to this."
Brightpaw - with Willowpaw
Brightpaw chuckled at that. "Sounds like he's a good mentor then," he purred. "Friendly and understanding but also a bit firm if needed." If Willowpaw's assessment of Badgertooth was correct she'd do well, training under him. "And don't feel too bad about not catching anything yet. It's frustrating, sure, but it was your first hunt and plenty of cats don't really succeed on their first try. You'll get better with each try." At the mention of the pregnant she-cat he smiled but also looked excited. "Oh, that must be Snowmask! She asked me how clan kits are named yesterday." He purred as he recalled that conversation. "I wonder if we can go and see them. But Snowmask probably doesn't want so many cats around her right now."

Applefall stood and hissed quietly so he didn't scare the kits. "This is a private moment getvout before I shred your ears." He growled. Though rather than wait he grabbed Blizzardpaw by the scruff and dragged him out of the den.
Silverrose sighed. "I wouldn't think you would barge in there. But we might have to have a talking to with Blizzardpaw." She said as she watched Applefall drag the apprentice out of the medicine den. "He is far too lazy for his own good. We need to find a way to motivate him"

"Go fetch some moss and dip it into the pool so Snowmask would have something to drink." Ratwhisper said his eyes locked on the kits still. They all appeared healthy but he knew these moments were crucial. The next to come was a all black kitten. He sits her down and licks her fur in the wrong direction before setting her next to her siblings. The final was a white kit with some patches.
He takes a small step back before allowing his shoulders to relax. "You have four healthy kits congratulations."

Snowmask purred at Ratwhisper's congratulations. "Thank you." She said. She leaned over and nuzzled each of the kits gently. "Welcome to Roseclan, little ones."
Applefall re-entered the den as the last two kits were born. He smiled at Snowmask and Ratwhisper. "Thank you for the help." He said to the medicine cat. "Should we wait a little while before we move them to the Nursery? Make sure everyone is healthy and full?" He asked watching his kits with concern.

Willowpaw with Brightpaw
"I think I'll do well under his training." She said happily. It seemed as though her sadness melted some at the thought of training and kits. "Maybe we can catch a peice of prey for Snowmask while we patrol. And visit after we're done."
Whitekit, Rosekit, Nightkit, and Patchkit with Snowmask, Applefall, Ratwhisper, and Ashpaw.
Whitekit who had been nursing the longest as he was born first began to wriggle away from Snowmask's side a little. He mewled and cried. Making as much noise as he could he ventured a few whiskers from his mother and bumped into his father.
Rosekit quit nursing and curled into her mother's flank and fell asleep.
Nightkit began to nurse hungrily as Ratwhisper sat her down. Her fur stuck out weird from where he licked it wrong. All she cared about was nursing.
Lastly, Patchkit, who was probably the runt of the litter began to feebly cry. He was struggling more to find his mother's milk than his siblings had. He needed some direction to guide him to food. He mewled again and again sounding quieter than the others.

Ratwhisper nodded his head. "Give Snowmask a moment to rest and if she feels up too it, we can move her to the nursery." He takes notice of Patchkit who appeared to be struggling to nurse. He moves over to nudge the small kit in the right direction. "Be sure to keep an eye on this little one."

"I'm very tired. I might sleep." Snowmask said to the two toms and younger she-cat. She carefully shifted to curl around her kits. First she nudged Patchkit a little closer to the others and her flank hoping he would latch on.
Applefall nodded at Ratwhisper's words. He leaned over and licked Snowmask's head to tell her it was alright to sleep. "I'll keep an eye on the kits." He said leaning to nudge Whitekit back to his mother's side. "Sleep now loves." He purred to his little family.

Ratwhisper leaves his den to give the family a moment of privacy. He takes a deep breath and exhales feeling pretty proud of himself. Moments like this made him love being a medicine cat.
