Leaf's Arrival

Fernpelt wailed again in pain. Her eyes were sealed shut, and her ears were lying flat on her head. Whitestar didn't want it to cause his mate so much pain; however, he desperately wanted these kits. He and Fernpelt both wanted these kits. He still remembered the day she told him she was pregnant.

Flashback

Whitestar was sitting on Lowtree (Author's Note- I made that up. It's a tree that is low to the ground. It has a branch that sticks out and Whitestar stands there to start clan meetings.) He was silently grooming his black fur. He rasped his tongue on his pelt, making it shine.

After a while Whitestar looked up to see his mate, Fernpelt, gazing at him with excitement in her eyes. Whitestar knew something was on Fernpelt's mind.

"What?" Whitestar asked questionably.

"Oh nothing…It's just you're so cute when you're grooming your already shining fur," Fernpelt answered.

"Seriously, what's up?"

"Oh you want to know what's up."

"Yes!" Whitestar rolled his eyes.

"Well the sky is up. Duh!" Fernpelt said sarcastically.

"Come on Fernpelt, stop stalling. I want to know what's on your mind,"

"Well…" Fernpelt started, but she found her feet suddenly very interesting.

"Yes. Continue."

Fernpelt motioned with her tail to ask him to come down. Whitestar obediently jumped down right down in front of her. Fernpelt stood up and pondered what she was going to say for a moment. Should I tell him? Fernpelt thought to herself, What if he doesn't want the kits?

"Hey Fernpelt…" Whitestar started.

"Yes?" Fernpelt asked.

"You can trust me. Whatever it is I'll be here," Whitestar said. He put his tail on her shoulder and his eyes told her he was telling the truth. He put his nose to her nose, "I'll always be here." he said.

"I trust you with my life Whitestar. So here it is."

Fernpelt put her muzzle to his ear and whispered…

"I'm pregnant."

End of Flashback

That was the best day of Whitestar's life. He had waited a long time for the kits, and they were just about to enter the world. Ever since that day, Whitestar had been protecting Fernpelt like a mother and her kits. He watched over her if she was hunting or even sleeping. Whenever Fernpelt would look up, Whitestar would be there watching her. Whitestar put his gaze back to Fernpelt and watched her. What he saw was what he feared most. She was struggling.

"Whitestar I can't do this!" Fernpelt screamed.

"Don't worry, you can do this," Whitestar whispered in her ear. "I love you Fernpelt."

"I love you too Whitestar," Fernpelt answered weakly.

Whitestar licked Fernpelt's ear, trying to calm her down. Fernpelt wailed in pain, and Whitestar looked up at Ivytail. Ivytail was frantic, and she jumped when Fernpelt wailed again.

"You've got to push Fernpelt!" Ivytail ordered.

"Do you not see me trying?" Fernpelt answered, clearly doing her best.

"Come on. I've almost got the first kit!" Ivytail exclaimed.

Fernpelt did what she was told and gave out all her strength to deliver her first kit. That was all she could do, she was out of strength. She laid her head down in exhaustion, hoping it was all over. Fernpelt heard a soft meow. Fernpelt had successfully delivered her first kit. Whitestar licked Fernpelt's ear and whispered in her ear, "You did it Fernpelt."

Fernpelt was delighted that her first kit was delivered; however, pain shoot through her again. Oh no, Fernpelt thought, There's another one! Whitestar was extremely worried about his mate. She lost all her strength giving birth to the first kit. Yes, only the first kit. There was another one. Fernpelt couldn't do it. She picked her head up weakly to see Goldentail and Ashfoot looking at her, with worry flooding their eyes. Please Starclan let her get through this! Whitestar thought. His thoughts were interrupted when Ivytail placed the first kit in front of him.

"Groom it please. You need to clear its nostrils so it can breathe," Ivytail ordered.

Whitestar did as he was told. His pink tongue rasped over the young cat's body. The kit wailed, begging for its mother's milk.

"Quiet down little one," Whitestar whispered in the kit's ear, "Your mother is busy giving birth to your sibling."

As if the kit knew what he said, it quieted down and let Whitestar groom it. Whitestar paused for moment to gaze at his kit. It was white, but it had a bright ginger back and a red head. Its tail was light ginger, with dark red stripes. Whitestar knew this little kit would grow to become a strong warrior. The question is…is it a she-cat or a tom?

"Ivytail?" Whitestar said.

Ivytail turned her head to Whitestar with a questioning look. "Yes Whitestar, what's wrong?"

"I was wondering is the kit a she-cat or a tom?" Whitestar asked.

"Oh right, that tiny kit is a tom. Looks like he'll be a strong one too," Ivytail answered, putting her attention back to Fernpelt.

Whitestar continued to groom his kit, occasionally stealing some glances at his struggling mate. Fernpelt wailed again, her cries getting softer every time. Fernpelt obviously was in total pain. Whitestar couldn't take it anymore. He carefully picked up the kit and walked over to Goldentail. He gently placed his son at Goldentail's feet. This confused Goldentail greatly. She looked up at him giving him a puzzled look. Goldentail opened her mouth to ask why Whitestar had placed his kit at her feet, but Whitestar interrupted her.

"I need to comfort Fernpelt. Please keep an eye on this little one," Whitestar said.

Without an answer he swiftly turned around and walked to Fernpelt. Goldentail did what she was told, and she used her tail to drag the kit to her warm fur. Whitestar laid down by Fernpelt's head and stroked her ear with his tail. He shot a glance back at Goldentail to see his son warm and asleep. The tom purred in amusement, and he looked back at Fernpelt. Her eyes were sealed shut, and her teeth were clenched tight. Whitestar began to whisper encouraging words in Fernpelt's ear. This calmed her down. Ivytail glanced at Whitestar and told him to continue encouraging her. The black and white tom continued to speak softly in her ear.

"I've almost got it! Keep supporting her!" Ivytail nearly shouted.

Fernpelt was doing much better. This got Whitestar very excited. He kept whispering to her in his soft voice. Ashfoot suddenly walked up to Whitestar and Fernpelt. His mouth was filled with moss soaked with cold, refreshing water. He gently placed it down by Fernpelt's head.

"This is for Fernpelt. Hopefully, it'll help her a little," Ashfoot said.

"Thank you very much, Ashfoot," Whitestar whispered.

He dipped his head in thanks and picked up the moss.

"Here Fernpelt," Whitestar began, "This will help you. Open your mouth."

Fernpelt slowly open her mouth, and Whitestar squeezed the moss, causing water to drip down into Fernpelt's mouth. She licked her muzzle in pleasure. Whitestar carefully placed the moss aside, and he licked her ear to comfort her. Fernpelt was about to lose her strength, but thankfully Ivytail said it was almost over. After a while, a very quiet meow was heard. Fernpelt had delivered her second, and hopefully final, kit! She laid her down and closed her eyes in exhaustion. The she-cat began to relax.

"That was the last one!" Ivytail announced, "This one is a beautiful she-cat."

Once Ivytail said beautiful, both Whitestar and Fernpelt lifted their heads to see. Ivytail walked over to the two, with a kit dangling in her mouth. She carefully placed it by Fernpelt.

"Here's your kit," Ivytail started, "Please groom it, and besides that you have two very healthy kits."

With that said Ivytail left the two new families in peace. Fernpelt began to rasp her tongue on the tiny kit's body. Goldentail walked over with the tom in her mouth. She gently placed it by Fernpelt, and she dipped her head in thanks. The tom soon tumbled its way to his mother and began to nurse. Fernpelt purred at the clumsy tom and looked at the she-cat. She was beautiful, like Ivytail said. Her fur was a mix of white, brown, and black. She was a tortoiseshell. When Fernpelt's tongue came in contact with the kit again, her eyes slowly opened. Her eyes were a gentle dark green, like her mother. She looked up at her Fernpelt and squeaked a meow. Her petite body stumbled to her mother's belly and soon joined her brother. Whitestar purred in amusement. It seems both the kit's got the clumsy gene from him. Fernpelt looked up at Whitestar, and their eyes met, amber and dark green.

"We still have to name them you know," Whitestar brought up.

"I know," Fernpelt answered, "I think the tom should be Dustkit."

"Why?" Whitestar asked.

"Because it looks like dust got sprinkled onto his back and head."

"I like it a lot. What about the little she-cat?" Whitestar asked.

Fernpelt turned to look again at her daughter, but she gasped. The she-cat was gone! Whitestar's eyes widened, and he looked around the den. Fernpelt's eyes were clouded with worry. She was about to get up when a squeak was heard. She settled back down and glanced where the sound came from. It came from a small pile of leaves that were tucked away in the corner. Soon, a sneeze was heard, and all the leaves flew up in the air. Whitestar and Fernpelt sighed in relief. The kit was sitting in the pile of leaves, with leaves coating her body.Whitestar took notice of this. Is it a sign from Starclan? he thought.

"She shall be Leafkit!" Whitestar shouted excitedly.

"I love it," said Fernpelt.

Whitestar walked over to the kit and gently picked her up. Leafkit meowed when her feet came off the ground. Whitestar padded over to his mate and twitched his whiskers in amusement. Whitestar placed Leafkit by her mother, and he took his spot by Fernpelt's head. Fernpelt soon pushed Leafkit back to her belly, so she could nurse. Whitestar glanced at Smokekit, and he thought how well his kits and Smokekit would probably get along. Whitestar's eyes suddenly widened, and his mind was starting to clear. Smoke and Leaf, He thought, could my daughter and Smokekit be the two in the prophecy?
