"Oh Sorrelfur, they're beautiful," Buzzardtail purred, his whiskers twitching.

He craned his neck to gently sniff his two new daughters, both of which were curled at their mother's side, suckling quietly. Sorrelfur, exhausted from kitting, could only nod in agreement.

It was silent for a few moments before Oakstar, Sorrelfur's brother, entered the nursery. Mintcloud was quick to get out of his way, bundling up her herbs and padding out without a word. The leader studied the kits, his tail curled neatly around his paws. "Congratulations," he mewed, dipping his head.

"Thank you," Sorrelfur responded, managing a smile.

Oakstar simply nodded, and with a wave of his tail, vanished from the den, thus leaving the two new parents to revel in the life of their new kits. "What will we name them?" Buzzardtail inquired.

Sorrelfur tilted her head, pressing her nose gently to the head of one small, brown tabby form. The kit had tiny white paws and a splash of white on her chest, muzzle, and belly. "Lionkit," she meowed.

Buzzardtail purred and did the same to the other kit. "Whitekit?" he suggested. The name fit: this daughter had a completely white pelt.

He licked her head gently and curled up to sleep beside her, knowing how tired she must be.

"I can't wait for them to open their eyes," Sorrelfur murmured before drifting off.

The next morning, the vacant nursery, save for the new family, was awakened by high pitched mewling. A pair of tiny pink mouths opened, their cries tearing through the tranquil quiet of morning and alerting both of their parents to their discomfort.

It seemed Sorrelfur was a natural mother. As if she'd done it many times before, she curled closer to her kits so they were pressed to her belly, her soft tail brushing over their minute frames to comfort them. "Hush, little ones," she murmured.

And of course, it wasn't long before the next disturbance came in, though this time- fortunately- it did not muddle the now sleeping sisters.

Flintcreek made herself known. She was the mother to the newly named warrior Onetalon. Joy was evident in her gaze as soon as it fell upon the small litter. "Oh Sorrelfur, congratulations," she purred, her whiskers fanning out as she neared the group.

"Thank you," the new mother replied with a dip of her head.

Knowing not to disrupt the peace and quiet, the senior warrior simply watched the kits for a few moments before slipping from the den. It was smart of her to expect Ashfoot to summon her for dawn patrol; not that she exactly enjoyed it all the time. Sorrelfur knew she'd rather spend time playing with the new kits.

Buzzardtail entered the den once more, stretching before sitting. "They won't open their eyes for another few days," he rumbled.

The queen nodded. "Let's enjoy them while they still only eat and sleep," she chuckled softly, shifting so she may bathe her kits.

The tom watched, enamored and amused by the tenderness his mate showed their offspring. Perhaps he would take her advice. Purring, he relaxed and soaked up the moment, for whatever it was worth for however long it may last.

A/N: Short, yes, but I'd like feedback to know whether or not I should continue! And to make it fun for you all, albeit it is early, any guesses on the siblings' warrior names?
