Here is chapter 4. I just decided to skip to the part where she has her kits. Constructive criticism, blah, be nice, my brother is obsessed with dinosaurs. Enjoy!
Fernstep yowled in pain, as her belly convulsed. She was having her kits. She had no idea how painful it was or how long it would take.
Swiftwater felt her belly and determined, "Your almost there, just one more push."
Fernstep yowled in pain as a small white bundle slid into the nest. Mothpelt, who had recently received her medicine cat name, nipped the sac open delicately. She licked the kit to get it warm and get it's blood flowing to get it warm (sorry, long sentence).
Swiftwater pressed her flank.
"One more."
Fernstep wailed as the second kit came. Darktiger, another queen, did the same thing Mothpelt did. The kit gasped.
"Wonderful! Two she cats. Come meet your kits Emberstone." Swiftwater purred.
Splashkit, Darktiger's ginger and white daughter, peeked over her mother's flank.
"Aw, they're so cute!"
Emberstone entered the den. His gazed reached his daughters.
"Oh, they're just beautiful! What should we call them?" he asked his eyes still on the kits.
"How about the white one with the light brown spots is Cloudkit and the ginger and gold she cat is Firekit?" Fernstep asked.
"Those are perfect names." Emberstone purred lovingly.
"Let all the cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highledge!" Willowstar yowled.
As the clan assembled, Willowstar gazed at them, eyes happy and proud. She loved introducing kits to the clan.
"Fernstep has had her kits. Cloudkit is the white she cat with light brown spots, and Firekit is the ginger and gold she cat."
"Those are lovely names." Appleleaf purred softly.
Emberstone poked his head out and nodded to everyone and disappeared back inside. Probably to help with the kits already.
Inside the den, Fernstep was suckling her kits. She briefly wondered if Silverlake had her kits. She decided to ask her next time she saw her. Purring drowsily, she fought to stay awake. Orangetail, the elder who had been her mentor before she retired, entered.
"What lovely kits. But be sure to teach them some manners." Orangetail purred hoarsely.
Fernstep glanced worriedly at Orangetail. She had already been old by the time she had become Fernstep's mentor. She would make sure her kits would be extra nice to the elders.
"Don't worry about us elders. We may not be young, but we're tougher than you think!" Orangetail said.
Fernstep nodded and licked Cloudkit's head.
Orangetail continued, "But somehow, even if you make sure the kits are nice, that won't protect them."
Fernstep glanced up in alarm.
"What do you mean?"
"I have a bad feeling about ShadowClan, and that they will kill these kits. I don't know why, but make sure you protect them extra carefully from whatever lies ahead.
