| Two kits. Two perfect little bundles of joy, a gift from StarClan. All that she had left of Sunhare. Scorchivy was curled around her newborn kits, gently pressing her nose to each kit and licking them just as the other queens had instructed her to. The scent of blood lingered in the air from the birth that had happened just moments ago. The medicine cats and queens had left the nursery to give her some space. She appreciated the silence.
The queen could hear the gentle breaths of her children, sounding like whispers, barely audible, but they were there. She watched with quiet fascination as their small bodies rose a little with each breath. They were beautiful. Tired as she was, she could feel tears pricking at the corners of her eyes. Sunhare, are you watching? These are your children... they look like you. Both were tortoiseshells, with the tom having a bit more brown and the she-kit a darker black. The ginger and cream flashes across their fur were familiar sights-- Sunhare had been a stunning orange tabby, and Scorchivy rejoiced that some of him had remained in his children.
Softly, the tabby tapped her son with the tip of her tail. It was time to name them. She wanted to give them names that Sunhare would've liked. Not after him, he never would've named a kit after himself, but... Scorchivy recalled the first night she snuck out of camp with him. They had been apprentices, and he had convinced her to explore a tunnel with him. They ended up distracted by the bugs in the Flower Fields, and never made it to the tunnel. A fond smile lingered of her face as she chose her son's name-- "Cicadakit".
Next was her daughter. Her daughter's fur was more unruly, the fuzz sticking up as if she had just tumbled through a bramble bush. Scorchivy laughed softly to herself; the trait was no doubt from Sunhare. He had always had a little mud stuck in his fur, from his joy of wandering just a little too close to the ShadowClan border in hopes of catching a stray frog from the marsh. Sunhare had never really minded his clanmates' distaste for his love of frogs, and Scorchivy herself had been disapproving at the time, but well, it was a memory now, and every memory of her late mate was a fond one. With a soft purr, the queen named the tortoiseshell kit: "Marshkit".
Scorchivy curled around her kit, drawing them closer to her. She was exhausted from the birthing process, but the ache in her limbs did little to suppress the joy she felt. She finally had a family again, cats to call her own and take care of... she could watch them for enternity, just like this, curled around them with nothing to accompany her but the gentle murmurings of the Clan outside and the sound of her children's breathing inside the den.
