Milkkit crouched low to the ground, sneaking into the front of the den with a quiet giggle. Her eyes went wide when her nose was hit with the scent of all the herbs. "Ew! It's smelly in here!"
Wolfstep blinked, not understanding why she was so anxious. After he led her out of camp onto the moor he turned to look at her more fully. "It's been great. I spent most of my morning with my siblings." He said with a purr, "I love watching them do everything for the first time. Is everything alright Hazelear?"

“Oh uh.” Hazelear shuffled nervously. “Uh yea everything’s ok.” She nodded before looking at him. “Wolfstep.. I’m expecting kits.” She admitted.
Grousekit wrinkled his nose at the sharp scent of the herbs. “I think it’s the e medicine cat den!” He announced.
“You’d be right little one.” Dawnshadow spoke as she stepped from the den. “This is my den and where I keep all the herbs to treat the clan.” She spoke softly, eyes warm at the kits. They were a bright light in an otherwise dark moon.

Specklekit followed behind her siblings at a much slower pace, giving the den an uninterested look and wrinkling her nose at all of the weird smells coming from the den.

Wolfstep stared at her, stunned for a moment before he broke into a grin. "Really? Hazelear that's wonderful!" He exclaimed, pressing his nose to hers. "When did you find out?"
Milkkit squeaked as the medicine cat appeared, were they allowed to be in here? "Sorry Dawnshadow, we didn't know what den this was. We were just exploring!"

Hazelear breathed a sigh of relief when he seemed so happy. She nuzzled him briefly, closing her eyes. “Right before the wind vortex.” She told him. “I had wanted to tell you but then everything happened so quickly.” She spoke.
Dawnshadow purred softly. “No need to be sorry. I always expect kits to wander in here.” She said. “But you do need to be careful little ones. Don’t ever eat anything in my den until I give it to you. It could make you very sick.”
“Ok!” Grousekit looked at her. “We promise not to touch anything!” He spoke.

Specklekit looked up at Dawnshadow, giving a flick of her ear, “Why is it so smelly in here?” She asked bluntly.

"It's alright, you're right. Things have been going so fast." Wolfstep replied easily. He breathed out, unable to get rid of the smile on his face. "Starclan, we're going to be parents! Are you excited Hazelear? I'm sorry, I know I have the easy part here." he said with a sheepish smile.
Milkkit nodded to Dawnshadow, "Promise!" she mewed before she went over to the nests along the sides, sniffing the curiously.

Hazelear pressed close to him. “I’m pretty nervous.” She admitted. “I was real nervous to tell you but I feel better now that I have.” She looked at her belly. “But I’m also so excited! You’re going to make the best father.”
Breezefoot lay in one of the nests towards the back. He lifted his eyes slightly at the sound of kits. “I see we have visitors” he croaked softly

Ivyvine giggled with them as they approached the Riverclan border, the gorge had always scared him a bit. The deep drop down into the river below. He marked the border, trying not to look down. "Sometimes I think maybe we rushed it a little, but in the end I don't think I would end up with any other cat so what's the point in waiting? The thought of even trying a relationship with another cat makes me feel weird. Soarshadow is all I've ever pictured." They had now reached the Riverclan gorge border, and Larkbounce helped Ivyvine mark the stretch of border. Then they continued on, standing not to close to the edge. "Well, you know what they always say, love will come to you when you are ready, and you two must have been ready for a while" Larkbounce said, smiling brightly.

“Let’s just got in and look!” Grousekit looked at his siblings before taking a few steps into the den. “Come on!” He was curious and wanted to see what was inside. “Let’s go for a walk.” Hazelear spoke nervously. Why was she so nervous? They had talked about kits before. She shook her head to clear it before heading towards the entrance of camp. “Have you had a good day so far?” She asked him. “They are cute aren’t they.” Swiftsun purred and looked at them. “I want to have kits one day.” He spoke. “Gotta find the right shecat first.” “I’m sure you won’t have to wait long. A handsome tom like you.” Mottledsong mewed with a chime of laughter, her tail sweeping around her legs as she looked at Swiftsun. “I would say I also want kits someday, but I already have two. More would be wonderful, I loved raising my two.” She looked over, though she found herself a bit surprised to see Tinyflower looking right at her with a strange expression, as if she had tasted a bitter herb. She had never seen that look on her daughter’s face, but Tinyflower had looked away before Mottledsong could be concerned about it.

Timing isn’t everything, and clearly it was meant to happen, so just roll with the good times and focus on that.” Petalflare purred, looking between Ivyvine and Larkbounce, before she marked the border and followed after. “You two were just as close as kits and apprentices as you are now. You’ve had moons of time to know what you love about eachother, yeah?”

Tumblekit grinned at his father once again, "OK!! LETSGO LETSGO!!" he squealed, wounding in beetween SwiftStar's legs. Tumlekit wanted to see it all, th world itself. The grass, the trees, the rivers! He couldn't wait to become an apprentice, (dispite knowing it was pretty far off) once that happened, he could explore the vast moor his clan lived in.

“Ha! I’m sure any Tom in the clan would be happy to give you more kits.” He winked at her before getting slightly more serious. “Was it hard raising them?” Swiftsun asked, settling down next to her. He was genuinely curious.

He was genuinely curious. “It was hard before Windclan let me in.” Mottledsong admitted after she averted her eyes with a warmed smile at his flirtatious words. She looked back at him, surprised that he’d want to hear about her experience raising her kits. She smiled. “When I was traveling to find a better home for them, they were so small, I felt so bad for having them travel so young… but once we came here, I knew that this would be where we belong. Siltpath and Tinyflower are much happier here than they would have been if we stayed loners. I loved raising them in the Clan, with all of you.”

“I’m sure it was.” He nodded, listening intently. “I couldn’t imagine having kits outside the safety of the clan.” He shook his head. We’re lucky to have them.” Swiftsun gave her a charming smile. “And we’re lucky to have you.” He added smoothly. “

Ivyvine nodded, looking a bit shy. "Yeah, we've always been best friends. When we were younger I thought maybe he didn't see me like that. You know, not every tom likes toms. But... I'm glad I wasn't wrong." He said softly, a sappy smile gracing his face as he marked the border further away.

"Our kits will get to play with my new siblings when they're older. I'm glad they'll get to be close to their kin." Milkkit looked over to the tom in his nest with wide eyes, cowering slightly as she noticed his wounds. "Did a badger try to eat you?"

The grass, the trees, the rivers! He couldn't wait to become an apprentice, (dispite knowing it was pretty far off) once that happened, he could explore the vast moor his clan lived in. Swiftstar led the kits over to his den, ducking in underneath the roots of the tree to show the kits his small den. It was nothing fancy, just a nest he usually shared with Fallowmeadow when she wasn't in the nursery. "Here it is. Not much to see in here." He mewed with a chuckle.

Wheatkit blinked, letting his eyes adjust to the shadow under the tree. He tentatively stepped into the nest. "Hm. It's not as soft as ours, but it smells like you. I like it very much."

Tumblekit sqinted into the den, "Yes, it is the very bestestest of dens because my dad lives in it! He is the leader of WindClan and I shall lead the bestestest of clans after him!" Tumblekit puffed out his chest and strut around while Wheatkit examined the bedding.

Swiftstar nosed Wheatkit gently, letting him know it was okay to settle in his nest. "If the nursery ever gets too loud or crowded you both are welcome to come find me in here. I will never turn you away." He turned to look at his more boisterous son with a gleam in his eyes. "I can't play favorites you know, you will have to train hard and well to become my deputy."

"Well, love seems to have come to you quite quickly! Lucky you" His voice was teasing and kind, not jealous or anything like that, although he did send a wishful glance toward the sky.

Wheatkit nuzzled Swiftstar back absent-mindedly, his watchful eyes flicking all around the den, taking in every detail. "Hmm...all right," he said. "Thank you. I love you." Wheatkit then folded his legs under him, looking comically small in his father's nest, and purred contentedly while Tumblekit bounced around.

Tumblekit grinned, "I promise! I wont let ANYTHING get in the way of my warrior duties! I'll make you very proud daddy!" Tumblekit grinned, then bounced around a bit more before turning to Wheatkit, "Wanna play cat and rabbit?! Lets play cat and rabbit!"

Wheatkit blinked at his more energetic brother, twitching his ears. "Okay," he said. He stood again, tottering back to Tumblekit. "How do we play?"
