BIRTH (Closed for Icestorm, Wisteria, Cardinalpaw and I)

Well, yes, Leafsnap was pregnant again. She tried her best to train Witherpaw until she was six moons deep into pregnancy. She then entered the nursery. Three moons later, she was in labor.

The she-cat threw a desperate cry of pain and fear as the contractions came. She squirmed on the ground. She was prepared this time. "CEDARFUR!" She screamed. She grabbed the stick she always had in the nursery and clamped down. Pain filled her eyes.

Suddenly, a huge contraction came, and a bundle of joy (Wisteria's kit) was lying on the ground. The second kit was taking longer and refused to leave just yet. She screamed and shouted.

(Decided to get most of it over in one post)

Kestrelkit mewed pitifully, squirming with coldness and slime.

With another wail, she let out the second kit, then the third. She already decided on a name for the first kit- Kestrelkit. She looked at the other two. She wanted her make there. Now. "Cedarfur!" She yowled, still in pain.

Cedarfur rushed to the nursery, swelling with pride. "Don't worry, I'm here." he nuzzled her cheek.

Icestorm saw his brother run to the nursery and heard Leafsnap's wail. More kits? I am so happy for them. The older brother trotted to the nursery sticking his head into the entrance, a smile grew on his face.

As soon as she took a look at her kits and her mate, she relaxed. "Cedarfur... Name the two... I named the first one, K-Kestrelkit..." She wrapped her tail around Kestrelkit and dragged the kit to her belly to suckle, trying to show him the other two. She nipped the sacks quickly before laying down, full of exhaustion. She tried her best to stay awake, and popped a smile.

Ooc- Cardinalkit (tom) and Glidingkit (she-cat)

Cedarfur turned around, seeing his brother. He turned back to Leafsnap, and thought for a moment. I...I get to name them?"How about, Cardinalkit, because I can see that his spirits will soar like a bird and Glidingkit, she will be so fast, her paws will glide across the moor."

"B-beautiful names... Can you nudge them to me so I can feed them..." She said before falling asleep slowly. She licked the kits' heads before turning to rest.

Cedarfur smiled, but somewhat worried if his mate was ok. He did as he was told though, the kits squirming as his narrow muzzle slid them towards the warm belly.

ATTENTION: THIS IS A PRE-POST. IF TWO PEOPLE I PMED ABOUT KITS REPLY, THEY POST HERE. THIS IS A FILER IF THEY DECIDE TO. IF THEY DO NOT REPLY WITHIN 24 HOURS, CONTINUE NORMALLY. WE ARE WAITING ON OWLKIT(Owlkit), SPRINGKIT(Butterflykit) AND WEIRDO (Cardinalkit). IF THEY DON'T REPLY, WE WILL PRETEND THE KITS ARE DEAD.

ic- suddenly, another pain came. The kitting was not over. Leafsnap jolted awake and let out a groan, trying not to startle her kits. She kept quite. Could more kits be coming? Were they okay or dead? She let out a wail, but bit her tongue and cringed as the kits slid out.

Cedarfur saw Leafsnaps belly contract again. "Your doing great, almost there."

ooc-so kestralkit is no longer the name/kit? or why are the names changed....

Ooc- Kestrelkit and Glidingkit were born. Cardinalkit was as well, but has yet to post. I got two more people to be kits, but they haven't confirmed yet, so I'm finding out.

The kit emited a shriek in search of his mother's breasts. He heard her slow, regular breathing. His presence was reassuring. Owlkit sought breasts instinctively and found them when he grabbed his little teeth, then began to extract milk from his mother, Leafsnap. The kitten felt the presence of his brothers and sisters around him. Their furs and warm it is appeased, he fell asleep in the heart of the nursery.

ic- Leafsnap nipped the sack and let the kit suckle. She looked at it. "Owl...kit?" She said, looking at it's fur. She saw one of it's eyes open slightly, and it was strikingly yellow, so the fur and eyes made him look like an owl. She stared at the other one in horror. Was it dead? She wanted Cedarfur to check. "Dead?" She asked, pointing to the other kit.

Cedarfur crept forward, sniffing the kit. It was breathing, but just barley. "No, not yet." he gave the wet fur a few soft strokes with his tongue.

Leafsnap shivered at the sudden nips she received from the kits. She licked each of their tiny heads. Once she regained her strength, she nipped the tiny kittens sack open. "Wake up, darling... Come on, suckle, please..." Leafsnap said, eyeing the last kit sadly. Wake up, please!
