A blessing (Open)

Ooc: Tags: @duskfox, @onyx, @nyoomnicole, and ⓐⓜⓑⓔⓡ, this is the birthing thread of Darkflame's litter. Just tagging all of you to let you know that they are born.

IC:

Darkflame gazed at the five kits at her belly and purred happily. She just gave birth to them, and actually it was a litter of six, but one kit was stillborn. She didn't worry about that though, there were still five lovely kits, two sons and three daughters. Although she missed her warrior duties very much, she's pretty grateful to have those kits, and they were sure a blessing of the clan. She then named the kits one by one, "Darkkit," She wanted her oldest kit to take after her prefix. "Runningkit," She hoped that this tom would be as swift as her. "Cloudkit," She named the she-kit by her pelt color. "Petalkit, and Foxkit." She thought of the last two names and touched her kits gently with her nose. Then, she closed her eyes and rested her chin on her front paws, and drifted into sleep.

Runningkit squeaked and squirmed at Darkflame's belly and fought for space and food with his littermates. Finally, he settled down and began to suckle. The rich warm liquid filled his tiny mouth. He purred and kneaded his mother's belly with his little front paws.

Letting out a faint chirp, Petalkit awkwardly waddled around, being lured too the warmth of her mother by the scent of milk that was waving over her. She pawed at her mother's bulky belly, trying to feel where the milk was most abundant. She squeezed her frail body right between her siblings, just as soon to be pushed out of the cluster. She was in a race for the milk and was currently in last place. She was small for her size, but shared that reputation wit her sister Cloudkit. She couldn't take it anymore! She was hungry and impatient for her milk. She threw herself into the bodies of the other kits and frantically pawed her way to the center of her mother's sprawled out body. She happily suckled and tried to get as much as she could before she would get pushed back into the crowd.
