The sun shone bright in middle of the sky, bathing Windclan's territory in its golden light. A warm breeze flowed through the camp as the clan cats took advantage of greenleaf finally arriving. Most of them sharing tongues and prey while bathing in the pleasant heat.
Completely disregarding the brisk pacing of the golden-brown tabby tom just outside of the nursery.
"Ryestorm's going to make a whole new burrow if he keeps pacing like that." Jaypaw meowed to the other apprentices, whiskers twitching with amusement and intrest.
"To be fair," Volepaw responded after he lifted his head from his sister's shoulder. "This is his very first litter."
A low groan came from the grey and white molly across from them, her pelt bristling and the remains of her tail flicking in annoyance. "Doesn't mean he has to be so paranoid about it." She turned to glare at the ginger tabby tom next to her. "You're his apprentice, Can't you go over there and calm him down?"
Fleckpaw looked up, startled and with a chunk of rabbit meat in his maw, he took the time to swallow before answering. "Everyone knows that only Hazelcloud can truely calm Ryestorm down. I may be his apprentice, Lostpaw, but I can only do so much to avoid or roll with his mood swings...plus their even worse now."
Lostpaw huffed in reply before focusing her blue eyed gaze on the tabby warrior whom was still pacing outside of the nursery until he heard the pained yowls and groans of his mate then tried to run inside, only to be stopped by Cherryflower who glared at him until he resumed pacing if not a bit brisker than before.
"Let's just hope she'll be done before Ryestorm tramples Cherryflower." the patched furred molly murmured, turning her back on the scene.
"Hazelcloud is in good paws though," Jaypaw commented, "She has Lavenderpelt with her plus Dawnleaf whose been medcine cat for moons."
"I highly doubt he could trample Cherryflower anyway." Fleckpaw twitched his ears in confidence, "Cherryflower may be an elder but she's as resiliant as ever."
Volepaw shot a knowing look at the ginger apprentice before his gaze became more questioning, "Dawnleaf said there's only two kits right? Hazelcloud should be done soon."
As if on que, the mottled face of Dawnleaf popped out and she beckoned Ryestorm inside. The tabby tom pratically barreled through the entrance, ignoring the scolding hiss that Cherryflower gave.
Eaglestar along with his deputy, Sorrelheart and his kits followed at a much calmer pace.
The camp quieted for the next few heartbeats as everyone awaited the results of Hazelcloud's knitting.
Eaglestar soon reappeared with Ryestorm next to him, both of the toms chest were puffed out and their eyes were as bright as the sun above.
"Hazelcloud has given birth to a beautiful and healthly pair of kits!" Eaglestar announced with pride in his voice. "A tom named Beekit and a molly named Fawnkit, They will be amazing additions to Windclan in the future!"
Meows of congratulations and questions about the kits arose as some of the cats padded towards the new father.
The apprentices let out sighs of relief, knowing how Ryestorm would react if something happened to Hazelcloud or the kits.
"Beekit and Fawnkit, huh?" Fleckpaw purred as he tested out the names. "I wonder what they look like?"
"Obviously golden and brown, furball." Lostpaw cuffed Fleckpaw around the ear. "Who cares any way? They're just normal Windclan kits."
"Doesn't mean they can't be intresting, Lostpaw." Fleckpaw meowed in defense as he rubbed his ear. "Not to mention with the parents they have and the clan they're in...their lives are bound to be a challenge."
