Morninggaze sat in her nest in the nursury. Her kits were due any day now. She thought of having kits romping around while she happily dozed off.

Flamestar walked into the nursery and watched as Morninggaze went to sleep. Flamestar often took ntrest in every birth. Flamestar looked at her and softly meowed, "I think they will come soon."
Moonpaw, the medicinecat apprintace came running in and said, "They shoud be here anyday now. I wonder what they will look like."

Morninggaze was starting to wake up and looked up at the leader, her swollen belly heaving to one side as one of the kits kicked her, anxious to come out. "Good morning Flamestar, Moonpaw." she meowed tiredly as she got up to stretch her stiff limbs.

Suddenly Morninggaze felt a wave of pain sweep over her." MMEERRROOWWW!" she yowled as the pain gripped he stomach. The kits must be coming!she thought as the pain swept through her again, this time lower in her abdomen.

Flamestar purred, but when she meowed in pain, he looked toward Moonpaw.
Moonpaw hissed at flamestar, "Leave! The kits are coming!" Moonpaw turned to Morninggaze, and said, "Ok, push hard please. It will hurt, but the Kits can not stay inside of you or else they will die. Push!"

Morninggaze could barely hear Moonpaw. She began to drift in and out of consiousness but she still did what the medicene cat apprentice told her. Soon the first kit arrived. It was a small smoky gray she-cat. Morninggaze looked at the helpless kit but couldn't do anythging because the next kit was on it's way.

Morninggaze looked up at Turquoiseheart than quickly squeezed her eyes shut as she felt another kit coming. This one was a black and gray tom. She hardly got to look at this one before she felt the pain of the third one sweep through her stomach. Something was wrong. "Moonpaw! Somethings wrong! It's not coming! Help me!" she cried as more pain seared through her body.

"Just keep pushing! If you don't you could kill your self!" Moonpaw looked around because she had never done this before. For all she knew, the third kit was dead. Moonpaw watched as it came out, She shoved a kit to Turquoiseheart, and said, "Lick!" Moonpaw licked bot of the kits beside her, and knew that the thrid one was still born. Or born dead.

( It's not supposed to die.)
Morninggaze tiredly picked up the black she-cat, the last one she had given birth to. She began vigorously licking it, hoping that it would live.

(ok...)
Moonpaw licked the second kit born, untill it started to squirm. She looked at Morninggaze, "You need to nurse these two. I will make sure that one lives. Moonpaw picked up the kit, and started to lickit, making it warm. Soon, as it started to wake up, she wraped her body around the tiny kit. Once moonpaw was sure the kit was ok, she brought it back to Morninggaze, "You have a little fighter right here." Moonpaw nuzzled the kit, and pushed it closer to it's mother.

"Thank you."meowed Morninggaze breathlessly,"Aren't they beautiful?" she whispered as she looked at the three kits. The smoky gray she-cat stopped nursing and looked up at her mother who gave her a quick, reassuring lick than the kit returned to her nursing.

Moonpaw nodded, relived that all the kits lived. She had never had a cat give birth with her helping, "They are." Moonpaw watched, knowing that she would never know how it would be to become a mother.

Morninggaze was suddenly hungry, as though the kits were draining her of energy and food. "Moonpaw could you get me some fresh-kill? I'm very hungry and I need to eat so that I don't run out of milk for the kits." Morninggaze asked sheepishly, feeling embaressed about the fact that she couldn;t get up and get her oqn food.

"Of course!" Moonpaw said dashing out of the den. She went to the fresh kill, and got a rather large vole. She brought it back and mewed, "Here!"
