Cloverpool awoke to a sharp pain in her side. She couldn't stop herself from getting up and moving around her nest, not even the soft feathery nest she had worked so hard on seemed comfortable. She tried to do it quietly though so she didn't disturb the other queens and their kits. She knew she should get Nightpoppy, or even Molepaw while she was still able to. She moved over to the entrance of the nursery and called out for the medicine cat and her apprentice. She hoped they heard her because slowly the pain started to intensify. Without a second thought Cloverpool made her way over to her nest, and laid down. She thought it was odd how just moments ago she couldn't get comfortable in the nest but now it seemed to be perfect. A sharp pain rippled through her, she knew the kits were coming.

A mixture of excitement and fear welled up in her. She couldn't wait to be a mother, and to be a real family. Her thoughts moved to her mate. She was so excited to finally let him meet his kits. She hoped to they were handsome like him. Slowly the fear of her mother crept in her thoughts. She was constantly wondering what that evil cat would try to do with these kits. Her mate had promised to protect them, in fact it was that promise that convinced her to have them. They would need protection, she just felt it. She wanted her mate, but knew he was probably busy and didn't want to be there for the kitting. She let out a heavy sigh before another wave of pain rippled through her. It wasn't a horrible pain, but it was enough for her to lose track of her thoughts. Oh Starclan protect my family, she prayed. These kits were coming.

Nightpoppy heard her name being called through a dream she was having. There was a queen standing across a misty field. Her eyes glowed silver and her voice echoed as if they were in a cave. "Nightpoppy! Molepaw!" She was sure the mysterious queen had only spoken it once, nut it had bounced around in the air so many times it seemed like she had said it several times. One last time, the queen called out her name. It didn't echo, it just sounded like it was coming from outside her...

'Cloverpool! She must be kitting!' Nightpoppy leaped out of her odd dream and quickly grabbed a few poppy seeds and a worn down stick. She ran over to the nursery and began attempting to move Cloverpool out of the nursery and into the clearing where she wouldn't wake any cats. "Come out here with me, I will take your nest." She hoped the queen wasn't in too much pain yet.

OOC: A link to the litter please as well as any info I shoul know (E.X. Are you planning on killing your queen, etc.)

Cloverpool let a out a heavy sigh as Nightpoppy made her way into the nursery. She thankful to see her more than anyone else. Come out here with me? Why? Cloverpool got back up from her nest. She wouldn't dare challenge the medicine cat at a time like this. "Oh, ok." but as she made her way over to the enterance of the nursery it hit her. Oh! She didn't want to wake the kits and queens in the nursery sleeping. Cloverpool continued her way out into the clearing, stopping only to wait for Nightpoppy. Another pain moved through her. She let out a small hiss as it passed. She could feel that it was almost time. The kits were almost here. She looked to Nighpoppy with pleasing eyes, she needed to be told what to do. She was clueless as to what to do now.

Cloverpool had kitted three beautiful kits early in the morning without much difficulty. She had feared the pain to come from it but it proved worth it. She looked down to her kits and smiled. She couldn't wait to show off her kits to her mate. He would be so proud of them. She looked to only daughter, the smallest one. "I'll call you Featherkit," the new mother purred. Turning to her other gray kit who looked just like his father, "You, I will call you Sootkit." Finally she looked to her last kit, he was the only one to look like her, she smiled softly to the kit, "And you will be Birchkit." She brushed her tail over them in a protective manner. No one will hurt you if I can stop them. Cloverpool looked out of the nursery from her nest wondering when her mate would be done with his duties and come see her.

ooc: with the story we did for her mates death I decided Eaglepool wouldn't come into camp without some injures.

Eaglepools who body ached he could still remember the fox and he was sure it would have killed him if Wolfbreeze and Silentsong hadn't appeared and helped him chase it off. He might have made if but there was a certain cat who hadn't made it and because he had refused any help from Wolfbreeze and Silentsong it had taken forever to get back to camp. The toms leg was at and awkward angle most likely dislocated and he had a few slashes that run down his side from the fox. He made his way to the nursery to give Cloverpool the bad news that her mate was dead. He slipped into the nursery wincing in pain and noticed that Cloverpool had already had her kits.

Featherkit meowed and squirmed around trying to find her mothers milk so that she could drink it and then she would probably go to sleep. The kit didn't seem to notice the new cat enter the den as she wiggled forwards until she was at her mothers stomach then she began to suckle.

Cloverpool smiled as she noticed Eaglepool coming into the nursery. She looked back down to her kits. She was excited for him to meet her kits. When she looked back to him her smiled quickly faded as she saw her friend in clear pain. She could see his fur was out of place, and his leg looked odd. "Eaglepool, what happened to you?" She looked him over again. Something bad happened to him there was no doubt about it.

[Sand]

"I went hunting with your mate when we were attacked by a fox I lashed out at the fox and lost track of your mate and I thought I was going to die. Suddenly Wolfbreeze and Silentsong appeared out of nowhere and helped me chase the fox off, but your mate was already dead, I couldn't save him, I'm sorry," Eaglepool meowed sadly.

[Icestorm]

Cloverpool's heart stopped. Fox? She couldn't believe it. No, she looked to her three new born kits. What had Starclan done to her? Her beloved mate had left her with a small family, breaking his promise. She couldn't keep her thoughts straight. She felt overwhelmed, with anger, fear, loss, emptiness. Still looking to her kits, "Eaglepool... What do I do?" She looked to her friend Eaglepool who she now realized was in pain. Her eyes filled with sorrow and fear. These kits have no protector, no father.


Sootkit moved closer to the source of warmth in front him. There was a sweet smell coming from the warmth. He slowly wiggled closer to source. Institutionally starting to nurse.

[Sand]

"I=I can act as their father if you want, I still hold true to my promise...I told you didn't I that I would protect you," Eaglepool meowed glancing down at the helpless kits sadly. 'They will never know their father, if only I had fought harder,' he thought looking up towards his friend his heart aching for her it was only pain know she had lost her mate because of him not being strong enough, but his heart also ached with longing and he quickly looked back down at the kits the tip of his tail twitching slightly.

Featherkit meowed as her brother came up beside her and she stopped nursing suddenly full and really tired she had been wide awake but now she was really tired. The newborn kit let out a yawn and curled up in the curve of her mothers stomach before drifting off to sleep.

[Icestorm]

Cloverpool looked to her good friend with a small amount of hope in her eyes. She had almost forgotten about that promise he had made moons ago to her. "Eaglepool, I don't know how to repay you," she looked down to them realizing the full offer, "but are you sure?" She knew that if he wanted a mate that taking care of these kits would make it harder for him. Yet, she felt slightly better at the thought. He would protect them. She knew he would. She looked to the roughened up tom, just as he had tried to protect himself and her mate. She swallowed hard at the thought of her mate fighting a fox. Starclan let him watch over these kits. She looked down to her kits who were curled up against her stomach. Eaglepool would be a good role model for them, he has plenty of great qualities.

Sootkit pressed up against his mother, and sister. He liked their warmth. It made him feel tired, but safe. 

[Sand]

Eaglepool watched Cloverpool keeping an eye on her reaction he could see the hope in her eyes which showed that he had done the right thing by offering to be the father of her kits. "Of course I'm sure, I would do anything for you," the tom meowed glancing at the kits hoping he would be able to keep them safe.

Birchkit was confused, there were sounds coming from all directions and he didn't understand them. Instead of trying to make sense of the noise, he moved closer to his mother's belly and began drinking the warm milk. His brother and sister were beside him, and he snuggled close, closing his eyes and falling fast asleep.

[Icestorm]

Cloverpool stared at her kits. The only thing she had left of her mate. All of them were sleeping so closely together against her. She started to feel a tight pain in her chest. She hoped they would go up to be great warriors like their father, and Eaglepool. She knew without her mate Eaglepool was the next best thin. She looked to her fried, "Oh Eaglepool," she shook her head. She couldn't find the words of gratidtude she wanted to share with him. She had no idea how to thank him. Taking this one was beyond his duty. Finally after a moment of silence she tried to smile to him, "Would you like to know what I named them?" She figured he should know. She pointed to the kits with her tail as they were sleeping, "The small one is Featherki. The gray one is Sootkit, and the white one is Birchkit." 

[Sand]

ooc: You forgot about Sootkit

Eaglepool watched her reaction he just wanted to make her happy though he couldn't understand why his heart ached so much. "Of course I want to know there names," the tom purred fixing his eyes on Cloverpool and smiled at her. When she mentioned the name of the kits she let out a purr, "Those are all great names and I know they'll all make great warriors," he meowed.

[Icestorm]

OOC: I accidentally deleted some and I thought I fixed it... Oops

Cloverpool looked to Eaglepool, "Thank you. I hope they make strong warriors," finally having collected herself she noticed his condition. His fur missplaced, his leg sitting oddly, the smell of dirt and blood. "Eaglepool, you need to go see Nightpoppy or Molepaw. I lost a mate today, I don't need to lose you too." She didn't want to think like that, but she couldn't help it. She was worried for him.
