| It had happened again.
Thornbriar had been reluctant initially to have another litter of kits. It wasn't about the state of her body or worry for the clan that drew hesitation from her so much as...
The image of her former kits flickered through her mind's eye, causing agonizing pain to lance through her chest. She'd failed them. Each and every one of them had been lost to the flood due to her own incompetence as a mother. Worse still, she had been alone throughout it all. How could she do that again? She wouldn't be able to live with herself...
Not to mention, how was she supposed to be a mother and a leader at the same time? She had the clan to worry about. Still, Sans was there with whispered promises of loyalty and love. He insisted that she wouldn't be alone ever again, she could relax. She could be happy.
Admittedly, she found that hard to believe.
Loneliness had been her constant companion for a very long time. Anyone who tried to stick around ended up meeting an untimely end, like Sootstrike, Wildstrike, and even Scorchstar. Sans persisted though, despite her negative outlook. He wasn't without his flaws, but the mudbrained little weasel kept following her around every morning with a sickeningly sweet "Thorny~!" and a seemingly neverending stream of bad jokes and puns. The tom drove her mad.
Even so... it was almost nice.
Not that she'd ever utter a word of that to him... or anyone for that matter. But eventually, she caved.
... and now here they were.
The day had been long and full of chaos. Mothpaw had barked nervous orders to different cats for herbs and the like as Sans paced anxiously outside the nursery.
He'd be pacing nervously inside the nursery if Thornbriar and Mothpaw both hadn't kicked the tom out.
But now the worst of it was over...
And here they were.
Four little squirming lumps of grey and black fur.
The setting sun filtered through the entrance to the nursery and cast orange licks of light over the pelts of the gathered cats within like fire.
How fitting, that though her first litter had been born under the blaze of dawn, her second was born in the fading embers of sunset.
The sight made her chest feel strangely tight.
Sootkit, Tanglekit, Firkit, Brackenkit, and Sablekit...
Their names made her vision swim with soft tears. She just... couldn't let them go.
Not like this...
The normally stone-solid warrior found herself wavering as she looked over the pelts of the little bundles before her.
Why did they feel like replacements?
She couldn't... do this.
She couldn't. ______________________________________ ★☆★ Take what you can ★☆★Mutiny | Webkit | RoachkitLoner | Shadowclan Kit | Riverclan Kit40/100 | 10/30 | 10/30֎ Masterlist ֍ |

| A bundle of black and two toned grey squirmed at his siblings' sides as he struggled to nuzzle into the fur and warmth of his mother's belly. His little limbs barely managed to get traction as he pulled himself until he was curled up in the crook of her hip, soaking in the waves of body heat that rolled from Thornbriar, a quiet mew escaping his maw as he rubbed his head against her. In the few moments of awareness he had, he knew only three things; that the world was cold, this source of heat was nice, and he was content where he was. ______________________________________ Acornstar ♀ ~ Badgermask ♀ ~ Creamsky ♂ ~ Duckpaw ⚧ ~ Eveningmoon ♀TC T5 Leader (80 HP - 170 SP) ~ SC T5 Warrior (70 HP - 160 SP) ~ SkC T5 Warrior (70 HP - 160 SP) ~ RC Apprentice (20 HP - 60 SP)~ WC T2 Warrior (35 HP - 70 SP*) Rosybrown (Forest)/ Sandybrown (Feral) ~ Indigo ~ Tan ~ Olive ~ Icyblue*Disadvantage Stats |

| He was so warm a second ago. Where did the warmth go? A tiny black and grey scrap of fur mewled piteously on the nursery floor. Tiny pink jaws opening into tiny squeaks that felt like screaming to the tiny little body as it scrambled for purchase on the den floor. Finally finding space at his mother’s belly, following the scent of milk with a nose barely working in the first minutes of life. He felt other tiny bodies beside him, but nothing else mattered right now. ______________________________________ Kestrelkit ♀ Marshkit ♂ |

| Whimpering softly, the little she-kit nuzzled deep into the warm body she lay against, seeking the delicious-smelling food that was blanketed all over the larger cat. Her nose guiding her, unable to see or hear, she finally found purchase on her mother and began to suckle. As she drank away, her body was engulfed in a soothing warmth. She suddenly shuddered when she felt a significantly chillier presence entering her aura of warmth. She didn’t know who was sitting next to her and her mother, but she wished they would go away. She let out a high-pitched squeak, though was unsure where to aim her indignant demand at so that the chilly newcomer would leave.
Finally, at long, long last, Mothpaw had finally come out of the nursery. After she walked up to him and gave him the okay to go see his mate and first litter of kits, Sans wasted no time at all to slip into the den. Seeing Thornbriar curled up in her next with a whole bushel of kits at her belly brought such happiness to him that he hasn’t felt in a very long time. At long last, they were here! He was a father to these beautiful kits, with the most stunning molly of all the Clans.
Absolutely beaming, Sans approached his newly extended family and sat down next to the to-be leader of ShadowClan. ”Hey, lookin’ good there, Thorny. Heh, those are some cute kits we got there. They really liked your genes more than mine, I see. So, whatcha wanna name ‘em? I’m partially fond of Thorny-Jr.kit, and maybe one of ‘em can take my name. Sanskit. Since, y’know, I won’t be needin’ it for too much longer now that I’m back.”
His chuckles slowly died down to silence when he took a good look at his mate’s countenance. She certainly didn’t look too happy. In fact, if anything, she looked ... scared. With a hint of sadness. He smiled gently and nudged her with his muzzle. ”Hey, what’s gotcha feelin’ so sad on such a beautiful day? The birds are singin’, the flowers are bloomin’, and we’ve our very first litter together. On days like these, queens like you should be feelin’ quite proud of yourself. I mean, lookit’em, they’ve all got your stunnin’ black fur and strong build. They’ll make fantastic warriors.”______________________________________ Sparkfire the ShadowClan Warrior ~ #cdbf38 Honeysong the ShadowClan Queen ~ #3bbb9d Bubblekit the RiverClan Apprentice ~ #8ebb7bCurrent EventsSparkfire has returned to ShadowClan with her mate Honeysong and her adopted son Softkit.Honeysong has followed Sparkfire back to ShadowClan and has given up her medicine cat title.Bubblepaw has begun her training under her mother and mentor Flashlight. |

| Shadepaw had heard that a litter was born in camp today, and to her surprise it was Thornbriar- no Thornstar and San's litter. It was surprising to her because she didn't think Thornstar would choose an outsider to be her mate, after all the things with... Stagclan. Her old clan, the clan that loved peace, taken away by this clan, shaking away the thought she slowly padded to the nursery "Thornstar, may I see your kits?" She asked softly, almost forgetting to put the fake voice on. |

| She had only just been born, but Frostkit was already fighting. She used her broad shoulders to push her aside without a second thought, eager to claim the coziest spot as her own. When she encountered an obstacle she couldn't move with force, she yelped indignantly until they moved on their own accord- if they refused to, she simply climbed over them, her tiny paws scrabbling for purchase as she clambered over their backs. She finally reached the source of the warmth and curled up beside it, exhausted from her first journey. ______________________________________ |
