A fluffy blue tabby she-cat nosed her way into the nursing den. The cave was cozy; perfect for the kits she would soon have. She felt - and looked - much larger than other queens she had seen. Her belly was extremely swollen, and she felt more kits than the normal amount squirming around. Her tail flicked as she flopped onto a soft nest of moss, and almost as soon as she did, it began.
The kitting began.
*****
Six kits struggled to get to the milk, and Goldfeather gazed down proudly at them. Only two were female; the other four were tomcats. The longhaired blue tabby's golden gaze was filled with love and warmth; her kits were born and nothing would separate them from her.
Two of the toms were the rare tortoiseshell patterns. One had patches of white on him, while the other only had the black and orange patches. She purred and licked each youngster between the ears. Another tomcat was black, while the other had white fur with ocicat tabby patterns. Goldfeather flicked her tail proudly, and called out into the main clearing. Her voice was strong and young, even with the tiresome event she'd just endured. The blue tabby she-cat knew that some one had heard her proud yowl; perhaps Lilystar herself. She wanted the entire Clan to meet the new kits. The future of MistClan.
Now, to meet the little ones.
The first born was a femme, white with calico markings. Her eyes were the colour of olives; hence the name she was given: Olivekit.
Second was a male; the plain tortoiseshell one, without white markings. His eyes were bright teal, so he was called Tealkit.
The third kit was pure black, and he seemed to be the most playful. He was to be called Salmonkit, for his salmon-orange gaze.
Ashenkit was the fourth; his fur was white and he had ocicat tabby patterns. His eyes were green, very much like Olivekit's but more intense.
The fifth kitten was Sunkit, who was a calico fae. She had more orange and black patches than her sister, Olivekit, and her eyes were the colour of a greenleaf sun.
The sixth kitten, however, was harder to name. He had tortoiseshell patterns with a few white patches, and his eyes were yellow, like Sunkit's but less bright. Goldfeather would need help naming this one; she called again to Lilystar, then turned her gaze back to her newborns.
ooc - Their stats are in the Warriors Chat board ^^

Lillystar trotted from the main camp to the site of the nursing dens, barely making a sound. She tried to keep her movements quiet and gentle, both to keep Starkit calm and to not startle the queens that resided here. Creeping past the protective layer of foliage, she stepped into the smooth passage of the kitting dens. Setting Starkit down briefly at her paws, she peered into the nearest den and recongnizing the scent; called out.
"Goldfeather...is that you who yowled just now?" |

ooc - I'd rather you guys left. I don't really want anyone to join except Lillystar and the kits, when they've all been adopted. And no, since I'm pretty sure one of you might ask, there are none left - Umbee is going to choose her kit and then Onyx(?) will take the one Umbee didn't take. So...please don't post in this thread, and could you please delete your posts. And Frosttail, Goldfeather never mentioned their names.
ic -
Her soft golden gaze turned to Lillystar as she entered the nursery. Goldfeather's tail flicked and she was extremely tired, but her eyes glazed with pride and warmth. Had some one only been able to see her eyes, she would look stronger than ever.
"They're beautiful, aren't they?" she meowed, sounding almost exhasperated. Her bright eyes flicked every minute or so to the kits; six was many, but she would take care of them all equally. They were hers and she loved them more than anything.

Lillystar crouched low and sniffed at the kits gently. Detecting no smell of illness or injury, she felt satisfied that all was well and sat back to speak with Goldfeather.
"Yes, they are beautiful...though I am a bit saddened...for your kitting is so great...and I had hoped that you could rear Starkit with your little ones..." Lillystar knew that there were other queens in her Clan, but she hadn't heard from them in a while and that worried her. The camp was such an endless maze of tunnels and mounds of shade-loving brush that it was hard to find those who did not immediately come at her calls.
Just then, a thought came to her mind. The Gathering was tonight and she hadn't told anyone who was going yet! Between Oddeye's death, Starkit's arrival and the birth of Goldenfeather's kits...she was reaching her limits of her nerves.
"Oh great StarClan...I just remembered about the Gathering!" she exclaimed, louder than she should have around the babies. "I need to leave Starkit in your care...at least until we get back..." Without really waiting for an answer, she placed Starkit amongst the furry bundles and dashed back out to the main camp. |

"Oh, what are you talking about, silly?" Goldfeather purred. "I can take on another little one. Though my litter is great, my heart is greater, and I think I have enough milk." With that, she watched Lillystar go and pulled little Starkit nearer to the other kits with her tail.
