Goodbye
Happy Birthday ValkrieCain4Ever! I hope you enjoy this birthday one-shot I wrote for you!
Slash crept through the Twolegplace silently, his tail twitching occasionally.
His eyes lit up after spotting the house he was looking for. Running to the house, he squeezed through a small opening in the fence.
Slash spotted a light grey she-cat with a round belly sitting on the lawn, washing herself and meowed a greeting. The she-cat turned, her ears pricked. "Slash!" she exclaimed, padding towards him, stumbling a bit. "What are you doing here?"
Slash purred at his mate. "I just wanted to see how our kits were doing." He nosed his mate's swollen belly. "I bet they'll look like you, Ruby."
Ruby nudged him. "You mean both of us mousebrain." She meowed back teasingly. She looked at Slash lovingly. Suddenly, sharp pain struck her stomach and she yowled.
Slash looked at Ruby, panicked as she let out another yowl of pain. "Ruby, are you okay?"
Ruby gritted her teeth as she glared at her clueless mate. "No you mousebrain, do I look okay to you?" She growled. She winced as her stomach lurched. "I think the kits are coming-." She broke off with a wail.
Slash looked his mate, seriousness in his gaze now. "I'll a stick to help the pain." He had seen many Bloodclan queens give birth. Their mates always came with a stick to bite on. He ran across the yard to a tree, and grabbed a stubby twig. Rushing back to Ruby, he gave the stick to Ruby and paced besides her anxiously.
Ruby grasped the stick in her jaws and waited for the pain to come. Ruby let out an ear piercing screech as a wet bundle slid out. Hurriedly, Slash nipped at the sac and licked the wet kit. When the kit was dry, he picked up his kit gently to Ruby's side. Ruby's chest was heaving with effort as another kit slid out. The stick in her jaws snapped while Slash opened the second kit's sac. He let Ruby lick the second kit dry and watched his beautiful mate, so calm after so much pain.
He let out a purr when he saw his two kits suckle, their strong paws kneading Ruby's belly. Ruby also purred at her kits and then looked up at her mate. "What should we name them? It's a tom and a she-cat."
Slash looked at their daughter's silver tabby pelt. "Lets call her Sierra after my sister." His eyes clouded as he remembered his sister, who died after a monster hit her.
Ruby nodded and looked at their son. "He will be Ash, after his ashy pelt. The new family stayed there, bathing in the precious moment when the door opened, showing a twoleg with her hair up in a towel. She looked at family and yelled for her husband to coming.
Slash knew he had to go. Giving his kits and mates one last lick, he left with a sad glance to Ruby. "Goodbye." He meowed, before going out of the yard in the same opening. He heard Ruby yowling for him and closed his eyes.
Ruby looked at her kits with a sad smile, knowing her kits will grow up without knowing their father. Sighing, she stared at the sky, wondering if Slash will ever come back.
