Moonlight filled the trees, dawning on the Thunderclan camp. It was a cloudless night, a perfect one for the events taking place inside of the bramble thicket of the nursery. A dark black queen is lying in her nest next to a white tom. Her green eyes winced in pain as she looked up at the tom. "W-whitestripe it hurts!" She meowed, more like a complaint than a screech of pain.
The white tom- Whitestripe looked at the she-cat. "I've heard our mother-Blueshadow of course, didn't make a sound during birth." He meowed gently. "Why don't you be like her, Shadowfern.
Shadowfern hissed. "And where did you hear that?" Her tail tip twitched and her ears drew back.
Whitestripe purred. "Well Lightfoot of course. When she was alive."
Shadowfern blinked, almost satisfied. "Light- Oh Starclan! Mouse brained brother, trying to distract me with stories- oh that hurts!" She yowled.
Whitestripe smiled. "Now Shadowfern, hold still please. The first one's coming.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
[this is a time skip, we are skipping the birth]

Shadowfern looked down. At her belly were three small kits, one fluffy and white, one russet, and one grey-blue with black paws. The queen smiled as she gazed down at her kits. A russet tom was in the den, also marveling at the bundles of fur, his flank pressing against his mate. Shadowfern dipped her head towards the white kit. "This one will be Cloudedkit, for-" she hesitated. "For her silky white fur. And this one-" she prodded the grey-blue tom. "-will be Nightkit." The black queen fixed her green eyes on her mate. "Flameclaw, would you name the last one?"
The flame-colored tom nodded. "She can be Russetkit. For-for her pretty ginger fur, just like me."
Shadowfern nodded blankly. "Right. Like you." She said, clearly distracted with something beyond her expression. Memories danced in her leaf-green eyes of a fluffy white tom, at gatherings, play fighting with each other, fighting together, then the bloody corpse of him. The black she cat shook it off. "Agh! Right! I have kits now! Please alert Crystalstar, she may want to see them."
Flameclaw nodded. "Of course." He leaned his head down to nuzzle his mate.
Shadowfern touched noses with him, still thinking of the white tom. Oh Cloudpath, these kits will be the last memory of you!
