The sun was shining on the dry grass. The black she-cat breathed hard as she lay in the Medicine cat den.

"Its been hours Kestrelflight. When is she going to give birth?" asked an old brown she-cat.

"Soon Heatherbird. I know you are worried for you're kit's health. She'll be fine," Kestrelflight said calmly.

The brown she-cat stared at her daughter with wide blue/purple eyes. Nightcloud's breathing had gotten more frantic now.

"Mother.. the kits.. they're coming!" Nightcloud said in gasps of pain.

"Kestrelflight! Do something! She's giving birth!" Heatherbird yelled, her eyes wide with fear.

The brown and white tom nodded and got a stick.

"Nightcloud, bite down on this. I will tell you when to push," Kestrelflight said.

Nightcloud opened her jaw's and bit down on the stick.

Kestrelflight padded to her stomach and pressed a paw on it. He felt the rippling spsams come off her in waves.

"Now, when I say push, I want you to push as hard as you can. You think you can do that for me?" Kestrelflight asked seriously.

Nightcloud nodded.

"Good. Now push," Kestrelflight yelled.

Nightcloud yelled as she pushed. She was weak but she was not going to let her kits die without even having a first breath.

"You're doing good Nightcloud. I can see the first kits head," Kestrelflight said soothingly.

Nightcloud bit on the stick harshly, almost braking it into tiny peices.

Suddenly the shirll cry of a kit rang in her ears.

"It's a male," Kestrelflight said, nudging the black kit to Nightclouds side. The kit automatically started to suckle.

"There is one more left. I want you to give me one last huge push," Kestrelflight cooed.

Nightcloud nodded and pushed hard, the stick braking.

The kit slithered out. It was a silver and black kit.

"W-Why isn't she crying?" Heatherbird commanded.

"I'm sorry, Nightcloud. She's dead..." Kestrelflight whispered.

Nightcloud closed her eyes. A soft breeze came into the medicine cats den.

She lifted her head gent;y to nuzzle her son.

"I shall name you Breezekit. And the silver she-kit, even thought she hardly lived to feel the wind run through her fur or see the world or how it feels to be a warrior, I shall name her Skykit"
