"Three She Cats and a tom!" Jayfeather called poking his head out of the nursery, at once Cloudtail jumped to his feet and raced over purring "How's Brightheart?" Jayfeather let out a small grunt
"She's tired, naturally, she wants to talk to you about the names"
Cloudtail let out a loud purr and pushed past the silver medicine cat causing him to hiss. But Cloudtail ignored him and instead padded up to his mate.
"They're beautiful" He purred, and he wasn't lying.
The tom was a light brown with a white tail and underbelly. The first she cat was a dappled grey with white ears. The second was exactly like her mother, a light ginger and white tortoiseshell.
He rubbed his cheek against his mates and then blinked in confusion glancing around
"Where is the other one?" Brightheart let out an amused purr and flicked her tail against her belly where a pure white she cat was curled up camouflaging against her mother's belly, it opened its mouth as if to whine but nothing came out.
They didn't think anything of it, they just brushed it off as a yawn.
Cloudtail lay down next to them and sniffed them in turn before looking expectedly at Brightheart. She nudged the small grey kit and for a split second sadness clouded her gaze, She looked up at her mate and let out a shaky purr
"FernKit" He blinked as he recognised the queen in the kit in front of him. He let out a purr and flicked his tail at the she cat.
"That's a perfect name" He whispered and then he flicked his tail against the other she cat. "What about LynxKit?" He questioned and she nodded her eyes brightening as they started to feed.
"The tom should be FoxKit" He let out a purr and nodded before picking up the last one and placing it next to her mother.
"And this one"
Brightheart didn't reply and instead closed her eyes, "Hey Cloudtail…" She whispered and he shifted closer "What is it?"
She lowered her scared head and rested it against her paws as she gazed at the unnamed kit silently; the kit stared back just as quiet as her mother.
"Brightheart…?" He nudged his mate his eyes wide with worry. "What's her name?" her one eye flickered around and she let out a shaky purr
"BrokenKit"
