Gemfur padded quietly into the nursing den, not wanting to disturb Starstrike. She was decidedly uncomfortable, and restless. She flopped into a nice, padded nest, panting. Probably she should have told her brother or something, that she was coming down here. Well, he'd probably figure it out.
She curled up in a little ball- sort of- miserable and ecstatic all at once, showing her discomfort only in the fact that her claws were buried as far as they'd go in the ground, and her teeth were bared in a snarl. And so it begins, she thought.
A little while later, she nuzzled, exhausted, at three little toms- a balck one, a grey one, and a white one. The black on and grey one had white toes, and the white one was pure white. She smiled, happily, and rested her head on her paws, one watchful eye on the three kits. [/center] |

Starstrike awoke as soon as the young she-cat had stepped into the den. She raised her head to peer curiously at Gemfur, tail flicking softly to a breathing rythm. She rose to her feet, stretching and arching her back to stretch, and stepped to the entrance of the den, taking it as her duty to watch over the den to ensure she was not disturbed when she brought Stealthclan new life.
----------------------
Starstrike quietly returned to the chamber, the scent heavy in the air. And the mewings of kits loud in the quiet environment. Careful not to disturb her, or have her ears shredded to pieces by coming too close, she took a simple look at the young kits and took her place at the far end of the den. It wouldn't be long until she herself had HER kits! She curled her tail around her flanks comfortable, mewing a soft 'congratulation' to the new mother. |

She looked up calmly at Starstrike as the other she-cat came back into the den. Far from shredding the other's ears to ribbons, she just smiled slightly as Starstrike looked at the kittens and then went to the other side of the den.
"Thank you," she said in quiet response to the congratulations. She didn't know yet what she would call the three brothers. She nudged the nearest, the little black one, with her nose.
"Obsidiankit, I think, and your brother... Quartzkit," she murmured softly to two of them. The grey Quartzkit mewed and tried to climb over his brother. Gemfur purred at him and touched his nose with her nose. He stopped squirming around and nestled against her belly, next to Obsidiankit. The last, the little white one, was furthest from her, out cold asleep. "And you... you must be Diamondkit," she said to him. [/center] |

The world was so dark and so silent; Diamondkit was indeed soundly sleeping, further away from his brothers Quartzkit and Obsidiankit. But suddenly the cold got to his soft fur and he began mewling and squirming, trying to get back to his mother, Gemfur. His four black paws gripped at the earth and he felt warmth coming from in front of him; Gemfur and the two more outgoing brothers weren't far. Straight ahead. He was finally nestled in between his mother's leg and Quartzkit happily. |

Gemfur made sure all her kits were settled, for the time being. She wasn't sure they could really get anywhere anyway very quickly, young as they were, but she'd not let her attention wander while they were awake and capable of somehow crawling away.
But it seemed they were still at last, and she heaved a huge sigh of relief, and of "finally that's over", the last of any tension leaving her as she rested her chin on her paws. She didn't exactly fall asleep. But her eyes unfocused and were halfway closed, and she was off in some other place. Her mind wandered that way, and she rested, though her ears more or less still pricked up to catch any really unusual sound. [/center] |

Starstrike gave a quiet mew of discomfort. Restless as she was now, she got up for a quick second, staying frozen for a few seconds as if making up her mind on something before she lay back down, curled into a corner, tail arching over the soft dirt. She gave another quiet, almost inaudible mew and a squeak of pain.
---------------------------------
Several hours passed, tedious as it was, before she raised her head for a final time to lick calmly at the four kits that lay nescled beside her belly, greedily sucking up to fill their bellies with the first time with warm and soothing milk. Three boys and a single girl, they were going to be a handful... Obsidiankit gave a mew of defiance as he entered the cold world, used to his mother's warm belly. However, he was quickly tended to and licked to warmth, and finally he quieted down to take his place at his mother's side. The hours passed, unaware of the other kits that had entered the world just hours after himself. He pushed into his mother side, almost as if trying to go somewhere, but was subconsiously aware of a block that stopped him. His small brow furrowed, but it smoothed quickly as he drifted back off to sleep. |
