Dovewing looked at the stars. "StarClan!", she wailed, "please don't kill these kits... I don't mean to do any harm to them... just please let them be safe!" A spasm shook through Dovewing as Tigerheart tried to get the kit out. "U-uh, Dovewing, you really need Littlecloud!" Tigerheart meowed. Dovewing's eyes widened into panic. A few minutes later, a kit was laying on the damp grass, shaking for it's life. "L-lick it, Tigerheart! Hurry!" Tigerheart began to lick the kit so it could breathe air for the first time. "I'm getting Littlecloud. Stay here." Dovewing tried to hiss, but she could only feel pain from the kits. "Tigerheart they're going to find out!" She said, teeth bared. "Oh, yeah. Just push I guess. I'm not in charge of your kits. You're a ThunderClan cat!" And with that, Tigerheart padded away, flicking his tail and ears. Dovewing was left in the grass, trying to get back to camp , with Leafpool and Jayfeather.
Leafpool licked Dovewing's ear. "You're okay now. Did ShadowClan take you? Your kits are okay." Leafpool mewed. "N-no, I w-was h-h-hunting... and suddenly I just felt like the kits were coming... Tigerheart took me and tried to help me." Dovewing murmured, as three healthy kits nursed on her. "Oh. Well, you were hunting? At night? Why? Actually, I'm sure it was nothing the Clan needs to know." Leafpool smiled warmly as she turned to Jayfeather. Dovewing stared at her kits, ashamed. What have I brought to the Clan? What if they hate me... what if they're just like Hollyleaf... Dovewing quickly shook her head. "Leafpool, I've come up with some names... I was wondering if I could take my kits to-" Jayfeather shook his head. "No. What if you drop your kits into the lake, then get exiled, and desire revenge on ThunderClan?" He smirked. Dovewing flattened her ears. "U-uh, what are you trying to say?" She stammered. "Oh, nothing. Just that... I know something about those kits." His blind eyes burned into Dovewing's soul. "Okay... You're creeping me out. I just wanted to take my ki-" Jayfeather lashed his tail angrily. "The answer is no. I need to talk to you when Leafpool's going to get herbs, too."
Night fell in ThunderClan, and Dovewing started gathering her kits. There was a gray one, the only she-kit, with green eyes, a silver tabby tom with blue eyes and a dark brown tabby tom with amber eyes. (Gotta keep the tradition, lol.) Dovewing picked them all up, and wobbled away from the nursery. Careful not to step on any tails, Dovewing successfully made it out of camp. Although she felt watched, she scurried away as her sleeping kits dangled from her jaws. Tigerheart... we'll name these kits, and run away! Or... stay... perhaps. "Tigerheart." She whispered as she sat her kits across from the border. "Hi, Dovewing! You came!" Tigerheart whispered, revealing himself. He stared at his new kits. "They're lovely." He said. Dovewing got her kits and waded through the water. "Yes. I couldn't name them without you." She mewed. "Okay, start naming, then. Or will Ivypool force you not?" He grinned. "Alright. This tiny she-kit is Skykit. The brown tom is... Branchkit, and the the silver tom is Frostkit."
