AN: This is literally for fun, I will write it up, give it a cursery edit, and then post, so expect plot holes. They will not be cleaned up unless they haunt me in my sleep. If you don't like crack fics, feel free to leave any time. Therefore, there may be notes that aren't usually on my fics that are considered "meta" info. Don't like, don't read.

Prologue
"You can do it, Sandstripe!" Frostheart encouraged her mate. Four kits had already been born, and Goldensky had estimated three more to go.
Sandstripe grunted, pushing, and a small bundle tumbled out. Goldensky snatched it up and passed it to Lilystep, who was days from her own birth. Lilystep bent over the kit for a moment, then looked up at Troutface. He realized what it was at once. The kit was still-born. Their attention was drawn away from the little mite, and to Sandstripe. Sandstripe screeched, and almost at the same time, one after another, two kits passed through the birth canal. One was already mewling plaintively, but the other was deadly quiet. Frostheart and Goldensky began cleaning up the two kits briskly. The kit who'd been quiet seemed dead. Troutface moved forwards to place her with the other one. He didn't want Sandstripe to see her dead kits right away. He knew she would blame herself. Then Goldensky thumped the kits chest, and the little mite coughed up a bit of the birth sac, before mewling loudly. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
"You have six healthy kits," Goldensky told the proud parents, "Two toms and four daughters." He slipped out to get more herbs.
Meanwhile, Sandstorm looked over their kits blearily. "There were two more..." she whispered, "Where..." Her eyes fell on the two heaps of fur. "Oh." Her voice was pained, and small.
Frostheart and Troutface brought them over, then Troutface slipped out. This was his sister and her mates moment, and not for him to partake in.
Sandstripe took a deep shuddering breath. "I want to name them. All of them."
Frostheart didn't question her love's intentions. Instead, she nosed the still kits. One was a thin boney cat, his white fur thin and patchy. "How about Cloudkit?" she suggested.
Sandstripe nodded, then nosed the second one of the two gently, her movement sad. This one was also a tom, a black tom the same color as Troutface's paws. He looked Where his legs should be there were stumps that hadn't finished growing. Even if he had been born alive, he would have had a harsh and brief life, the poor thing. "Dustkit." She drew in a breath. "Ple-please, take them away. They should-the clan should know the two kits that might have been..."
"I'll do it." Lilystep picked up the two kits by their thin scruffs, blinking sympathetically at Sandstripe and Frostheart, then walked out.
Frostheart hurried on, wanting to finish naming the kits before Sandstripe lost heart. "Sc-Scorchkit for the ginger tabby tom, I think, and Dawnkit for the cream tabby she-kit? And for the black she-kit, Shadekit?"
Sandstripe nodded, then continued, "Otterkit for the dark grey she-kit..."
"And Hailkit for the dark grey tom. What about the she-kit Goldensky saved?"
Sandstripe watched their daughter suckle for the longest time. Then, finally she spoke. "Brightkit. Because I hope StarClan lets her life be bright." She reached down and nuzzled the small kittens head. Brightkit mewled in protest, then fell asleep.
Frostheart purred. "Shall I tell the clan?"
"No!" Sandstripe said suddenly, looking panicked, then calmed slightly. "No, please...stay with me. I want to know my family is all safe...please." Frostheart could never say no to her love, so she stepped carefully to curl around Sandstripe and the kits, grooming Sandstripe's ear for comfort.
