OOC: O.O So many. Anyways, when your kit is born I will tag you again, but unless you have a cat that is not one of the kits then don't post.

IC: Snow-whisker looked out of the Nursery at the brightening morning sky. She was heavy with kits, and any cat that didn't know already was either blind, or just too flea brained to see it. Her and Jaggedfang's kits would be coming any day now. It could be a couple minutes from now, it could be a couple of sunrises. She didn't know exactly, but she knew it was coming soon.

She hadn't ever been able to sit this quietly and still before. She was enjoying the first days of new leaf more than ever, but this was soon ruined by a sharp pain to her stomach. "Mouse dung, it can't be time. I'm not ready StarClan!" She mewed quietly. She whimpered a bit as more pain came, before finally calling out to anyone that could here her. "Jaggedfang! Anyone! Please help!"

The confident black tom of Stormclan stalked out from where he had been with his mate to the freshkill pile, yellow eyes only set on food for his Queen. A long black tail with a white tip danced behind him as he walked over to the pile and selected a plump juicy rabbit, his teeth sinking into the still warm flesh. How he loved new leaf. Turning with a flick of his tail his body froze as he heard the panicked yowls of Snow-whisker. That confident posture and those bright yellow eyes turned sick with worry, the large muscular tom racing back to her with the rabbit swinging between his jaws. Dropping the kill with a thump beside her, Jaggedfang looked down at her in panic, his bright eyes roving her over, checking for anything out of the ordinary. Not that he really knew what to look for, he never usually had  part in this sort of stuff. He was as new to it as she was. Tail slashing in the air behind him, Jaggedfang began to pace, worried eyes scathing the ground. Impatient and feeling sick, the large black warrior, usually so calm and collected, lifted his head and yowled to the medicine cat, "Nightpoppy! Hurry up!" His yowl was threaded with panic and loud enough for Starclan to hear, as he turned and faced his mate. They hadn't been together long, Starclan, he hadn't expected them to have kits but here it was, happening right now and he was helpless to his mates pain. He wouldn't let anything happen to her, he was sure of that.

Snow-whisker looked up briefly to see Jaggedfang rush in, her usually bright blue eyes now showing the pain that she was in. "Jaggedfang, it hurts..." She muttered. She didn't care how kit like it sounded. It hurt more than she ever imagined it would. 'Oh StarClan, is this really the pain I must go through? Is it really worth it?' She thought, squeezing her eyes shut and trying to pretend everything was fine.

[ℓυиαя]

Meeting her blue eyes so full of pain, Jaggedfang felt like he'd taken a blow to the head. Reaching down, he gently licked the fur on top of her head with a somewhat reassuring purr. "It's ok sweet, it'll be worth it, I promise you." Was it just him or did he sound so much more reassuring than he felt? Moving so that he was behind her, the much larger tom laid down so that he could gently groom the fur along her back, his tail flicking anxiously. A purr rumbled through him to relax her as he sat there and waited. There was nothing either of them could do. "When this is all over, you'll be so well cared for everyone will be jealous."

Snow-whisker felt a little comforted by Jaggedfang, but she knew these kits wouldn't wait for Nightpoppy to come either. They were coming now and nothing was going to stop them.

(Isilme this is yours)

The pain grew, and without her realizing it she was pushing, and then there was a little white she-kit. "Jaggedfang," She mewed shakily, "Break the sacks on the kits..." She didn't know how she knew what to do, but either way, as long as none of their kits died.

[Isilme]

Mistkit was suddenly pulled out of her warm and dark home, she was scared that much she knew, the large kit could smell cats around her and some faint sounds, what was happening? The she kit meowed hopeless against the strange thing around her body, but being only born she was too weak to do anything but trying to move the best she could in her situation.

[Deku]

(@penguin, @wolff, and Honey, your kits are going to be next In that order.)

Snow-whisker had little time to enjoy this one kit before there were two more sitting next to her. One of the kits looked like Jaggedfang, while the other resembled her more.

She hoped that the kitting was done, but she knew it wasn't, for another kit was soon coming as well. Another black tom. Snow-whisker didn't think kitting would hurt this much, but it was worth it so far. Four healthy kits at the moment, none dead, and hopefully none would be dead.

The second kit so far, a tiny one with all black except his tiny, frail tail tip, which was white, gasped in response to the sudden burst of harsh, cold air. He let out a weak meow in protest, squirming to try and find his way back to warmth, though his attempts led to failure

[ℓυиαя]

It all happened so fast, the large black tom snapping to his feet. As the first precious bundle was born, Jaggedfang took a deep breath and looked down, admiring how small and delicate his kit was. At Snow-whisker's words, Jaggedfang spun into action doing exactly what his new mate told him, breaking the sacs holding the new borns gently and nudging them towards the warmth of their mother. He had no time to panic and as each new kit came, he did the same. He thought he had forgotten how to breathe as he sure wasn't doing that now.

(I'm just going to time-skip. There's so many kits and I don't want to go through the birth of all of them. Wow I hate coming up with reasons for their names.)

After she was sure all of the kits had been born she lay her head on her paws. "That... That hurt more than I thought it would." She muttered, before lifting her head up once more to look at the squirming kits next to her. She needed to name them now...

She looked at the first kit that had been born. "You shall be named Mistkit, for your white fur." She mewed softly. This was probably the easiest part so far. She looked at two toms next. A black one and another white one. "You shall be named Ravenkit for your black fur, and you shall be Whitekit." She looked at the remaining four kits. A large black tom, a white she-kit, a black she-kit and a white tom. "You will be Sootkit," she mewed to the larger of the kits. "And you three will be Icekit, Nightkit and Lightningkit." She mewed, looking up at Jaggedfang for approval.

The small she cat let out a angry new of disapproval, angered from leaving the warmth of her mother. She squirmed around on the floor, the cool air making her whine with hunger and unhappiness. She waved her small paws around, squirming to the sweet scent of her mother. As she reached the sweet scent, she attached herself, suckling hungrily, craving sweet milk. She heard the soft voice of her mother say,"Icekit." And brushed her back gently with her tail. Icekit felt squirming of soft fur next to her, and she quickly guessed it was her siblings, the kits she has been stuck with for so long.

The black tom, now known as Ravenkit, squirmed slightly, almost soothed by the voice as it spoke nearly methodically, or at least that was how it sounded to Ravenkit. He mewed with hunger, pushing off the closest furry thing he could (Whitekit) to crawl closer to the origin of the sweet smell he would learn is called milk.

[ℓυиαя]

The black warrior sat in an awed silence as kit by kit his family grew. Snow-whiskers voice was what brought him to and he immediately leaned down to lick the top of her head and ours up against he reassuringly. "Those names are perfect. I'm so proud of you sweet." While he spoke he watched her however quickly looked to his young to check they were all busy feeding and safe and warm. How quickly life could change

[Deleted]

The black kit, who was just named Sootkit, mewed on que as if in response. He was large, strong and hungry! Squirming this way and that Sootkit tired finding his mother's belly. It was so cold here! Confused cries of protest escaped his tiny jaws as black paws spread and closed in a kneading fashion. He could smell milk and his belly rumbled in response. That was his goal now, milk! Rotating his little limbs the blind kit fumbled and pushed himself along the ground into...well his father's legs. Discouraged a desperate wail escaped him. 
What was this madness! This was not what he was looking for. Upset with not being able to walk or see, Sootkit buried his tiny face into his paws and made little, sad grunting noises. It was all too much!

OOC: Sorry for late reply but I've been catching up with family :3 Nothing like a bit of suspense though right? XD

IC: Looking down as a little black ball bounced into his foreleg, Jaggedfang chuckled gently, an amused though loving expression filling his features. The little tom that Snowhisker at only recently named Sootkit was larger than a lot of his siblings yet Jaggedfang was reminded just how vulnerable they all were as his little son began mewling. Bending his head, the proud father picked up Sootkit by the scruff of his neck and placed him gently in among the other feeding kits, right up against his mate. Nosing the black tom in further so he could find milk, Jaggedfang watched to make sure progress occurred before licking his mate lovingly on her head, his gaze full of wonder.
