"Cinderpelt Brightheart's kits are coming" yowled Cloudtail from the nursery, Cinderpelt thrust her herbs aside and limped out of the den. As she headed over to the nursery she saw Ferncloud herding Shrewkit and Spiderkit over to the elders den, and Graystripe sitting on the highledge chatting with Dustpelt.
Graystripe looked in her direction, "tell Brightheart I wish her luck" he said.
Cinderpelt dipped her head, "of course". As she neared the nursery she heard soft moans of pain,
"Help I don't know what to do" moaned Brightheart. She was trembling, and her fur was heavy with sweat.
"Calm down, you're doing just fine" meowed Cinderpelt feeling Brighthearts swollen belly. Soon Brightheart delivered one beautiful white she-kit. Cinderpelt left the nursery so Cloudtail and Brightheart could name their kit, but she could not help and overhear their conversation.
"I am so sorry I could not give you more" whimpered Brightheart's muffled voice from the nursery. Cinderpelt heard the leaves shuffle and heard Cloudtail lick Brighthearts ear affectionately.
" All I wanted was a healthy kit" he meowed " I don't care how many kits you have I will still love you". The tom sat down next to his mate and licked the kit, "what should we name her"? Asked Cloudtail. Brightheart gazed at the kit with a look of fierce love,
"Let's name her Whitekit in honor of Whitestorm, who died a death of a warrior". Brightheart responded, Cloudtail nodded his head in agreement.
"Cinderpelt can we come in now" asked a voice behind Cinderpelt, Cinderpelt turned to see Ferncloud and her too anxious kits.
"Yes of course" replied Cinderpelt. She began to walk to the nursery to pretend that she had not overheard their conversation, but as soon as she got to the nursery Cloudtail walked out with a look of pure joy and proudness.
"We named her Whitekit in honor of Whitestorm" he told her, she nodded her head and told him what a wonderful name it was trying to show surprise like she had not heard already. When he finished she walked back into the medicine cat den, one more cat makes this clan stronger she thought with a nodded of her head and fell asleep into her nest.
