:Chapter One:
The black she-cat's eyes pressed together tightly.
Soullight, CityClan's medicine cat, paused in his delivering duties at the look on Smogstar's face. He closed his eyes, sliently praying to SpiritClan.
"Soul…light…" the leader rasped.
The silver-patched, white tom opened his eyes and looked straight into Smogstar's.
Smogstar grinned weakly. But there was nothing but pain in her expression. "Seven left."
The she-cat went still, Soullight working frantically to get the kits out.
Why is this happening? The medicine cat wondered, biting her lower lip.
One kit left.
And Smogstar was breathing again.
Finally, the second kit was out. CityClan's leader stared blearily at them, nudging them closer to her stomach with her trembling paws.
Soullight breathed a sigh of relief, made sure the she-cat and the kits were healthy and comfortable, then climbed out of the nursery.
Inkpelt was there, eyes begging wordlessly.
Her kits, however, were making noise.
"Can we see them?" the grey one asked, craning her neck to see inside.
The black one pushed his sister aside. "What gender are they? Is Smogstar okay?"
The medicine cat was too tired to laugh, but he grinned at their eagerness. "Smogstar's okay. She lost a life, and she's weak, but okay. She's resting now." He sat down next to the nursery, in case Smogstar needed help. "Her kits are both toms."
The queen took a breath. "Good. Come along, Blackkit…Cementkit."
The second cat to visit was Streetsnob, looking frazzled.
"Hello, Soullight," the deputy mewed cheerfully, but shakily.
"They're okay," purred Soullight. "But all three are resting. Best tell the Clan, if Inkpelt hasn't."
Streetsnob was about to leave, when Smogstar poked a disheveled head through. "Ah!" she exclaimed, surprised to find her deputy there.
"Have you decided on names, yet?" asked Streetsnob eagerly.
His leader nodded, a smug look creeping onto her face. "They are Flamekit and Smokekit."
