Alright, I'm forced to take this out in public, Bubblyjewel, stop ignoring my messages and talk to me.

Smokefang let out a loud yowl as the first kit started to come out. Poppyshine was comforting the queen the best she could, she went quiet for a few moments as she licked the first kit clean.

It was a tom cat, he was white and black. Black from the tip of his ears all the way down to his tail, and also all black paws, everything else was white.

Poppyshine placed the small kit next to his mother's stomach. Soon he started to suckle eagerly.

Smokefang barely had to look at him, she was giving birth to another one.

She growled in pain, clawing at her moss nest, this hurt, this hurt so much.

"I know, you're almost done, you're almost there." Poppyshine said softly, watching the new born kit start to slide out. Smokefang growled once more and clawed at her moss nest.

Finally, the second kit came out and she sighed in relief.

Poppyshine groomed the new born, it was a she-cat, she was almost identical to her mother. A light smoky gray color with tabby stripes hidden in her fur, almost invisible. Yet, her fur was longer than her mother's, she had little tuffs of fur in her ears, her paws and face where a lighter shade of gray. Poppyshine stopped grooming when she noticed this kit's right hind leg, it was twisted at an odd angle, deformed. She sniffed the leg, concerned.

"Poppyshine, is everything alright?" Smokefang asked panting heavily, Poppyshine sighed.

"I don't want to worry you...But this kit's leg isn't right." She said and almost instantly Smokefang turned to face her newborn.

"What's wrong with her!?" She demanded sniffing her kitten.

"It's her leg, it's deformed, I just don't think she can get far with a leg like that. It may even have to come off..." Poppyshine said, her ears lowering down. Smokefang narrowed her eyes and gotten close to the tiny kit.

"No, She's fine...I'm sure of it, that leg won't be a problem." She grumbled, Poppyshine opened her mouth to argue with the queen but then she realized that it wouldn't be the best idea, she liked her ears, and fighting with a angry queen will most likely end up in her losing one of them.

"Alright...Here." She placed some borage and poppy seeds down in front of the gray queen. She watched as Smokefang grabbed the kit and placed her next to her brother.

"Have you thought of names?" She asked as the two kits suckle.

After a few moments, the queen nodded.

"The tom is Sapkit, and the she-cat..." She went quiet, she seemed to be thinking, after a few moments she said, "Pepperkit..."

All Poppyshine did and left the nursery, once out her ears lowered.

'That kit...I don't know about her, she'll either end up as my apprentice, or with three legs.."

OK short chapter is short, I know, I know. Again, Bubblyjewel message me, I don't want to bring this out in public.
