Squirrelflight and Leafpool silently padded back to camp, each carrying one kit in there mouth, and one on there back. Earlier Squirrelflight gave birth to four kits. One was a ginger tom, like her father, and they pondered if the eye color would be green, to resemble the aging leader. The second was a dark, midnight black she-cat, which mewled loudly on the trip back to camp. The third was a light gray tom, which was silently scratching at Squirrelflight's tail, slipping from her back. The fourth was the most curious of them all. She had already opened her eyes. She was dark gray with orange flecks. Her eyes were a very pale turquoise color, and she had recently jumped off and had almost mastered walking, in a few minutes. She was pawing at the gray toms tail, making him slip off quicker, and soon, he plopped into the snow unhappily. He let out a frustrated hiss, and the odd-one-out kit dragged him along, following the two she-cats. They stopped near the entrance of the camp, and put the kits down.
"So what are there names?" Squirrelflight asked.
Leafpool purred, "Their yours, remember?" she mewed with a sad wink.
Squirrelflight glanced down at the gray and orange-flecked kit, who had dropped the gray tom and was curiously gazing at them, eyes wide as she watched the two.
"I want to name her Tinderkit. But I don't want to name the others. You name two, and Brambleclaw can name the last one." Squirrelflight meowed.
"How about Hollykit for the black one? After Ferncloud's old kit. And the gray one can be Jaykit. He is the color of one." She purred.
"You know a jay is a bird. And so is a crow. Any reason for that?" Squirrelflight mewed meaningfully. Without waiting for an answer, she picked up the ginger tom kit and padded into camp, Leafpool following shortly after, carrying Jaykit, and Tinderkit nudging Hollykit along.
When they arrived, Brambleclaw was pacing back and forth, with Ferncloud looking around anxiously behind him.
Brambleclaw spotted them quickly. "Squirrelflight? Leafpool?" He yowled, "Kits!"
Squirrelflight nodded happily, and Brambleclaw picked up Hollykit and bolted to the nursery, Squirrelflight in hot pursuit. Leafpool dragged behind to make sure Tinderkit followed.
Soon, four kits were nuzzled up against Squirrelflight, suckling noisily.
Bramblclaw purred "Have you named any?" he asked.
Squirrelflight nodded, pointing her tail to them in turn, "The black she-cat is Hollykit," Ferncloud gasped softly somewhere behind them.
"The gray tom is Jaykit," she continued, "And the gray she-cat with orange flecks, is Tinderkit. I want you to name the last one. The ginger tom."
Brambleclaw purred louder, "How about… Lionkit? He kind of looks like the old deputy, Lionheart."
Squirrelflight nodded, giving Tinderkit a small lick on the head, "She sure is a unique one."
As if on cue, Tinderkit sneezed, milk coming out her nose as she did so.
Leafpool purred, "Unique? Or just a silly kit?"
"Both." Ferncloud piped up from behind them.
"I'm going to tell Sandstorm and Firestar." Brambleclaw mewed.
"And I'm going to go get borage. With four kits, you'll need it!" Leafpool mewed, leaving the den after Brambleclaw, and returning a few moments later with herbs stuffed in her mouth.
She placed them at Squirrelflights feet, "I'm going to my den now, it's been a long night."
Squirrelflight yawned, "I know."
