Robinstep was breathing quickly. Oakleaf was at her side while Moondapple attended to Heathershine. Russetclaw was with Heathershine murmuring words of encouragement, completely unconcerned for Robinstep. Jaguartail, Quailtail, Fallowtail, and Tigerfur were at Robinstep's side.
"Push" Oakleaf meowed.
Robinstep yowled as her first kit was born. It was all black.
"She-cat" Oakleaf muttered.
She set the kit at Jaguartail's paws and the elder instinctively started licking the kit.
"Push" Moondapple muttered to Heathershine.
Moondapple wasn't too fond of Heathershine after discovering who the father of her kits was.
A single light brown tabby fell on the moss.
"That's your only kit," Moondapple meowed.
Heathershine lapped at her kit and Russetclaw covered her face in licks.
"Meet Ivykit," Heathershine purred.
Moondapple joined Oakleaf at Robinstep's side.
"Push" Oakleaf hissed.
Robinstep followed her orders and a second black kit was born.
"Tom"
"How many more?" Moondapple meowed.
Oakleaf ran her tail along Robinstep's flank.
"Four" the older medicine cat murmured grimly.
"Four?" Tigerfur inquired.
Oakleaf nodded.
"Push"
Robinstep heaved and a tortoiseshell slid onto the moss.
"She-cat" Moondapple announced and handed the tortoiseshell to Tigerfur.
Fallowtail was attending to the tom.
"Push" Moondapple meowed.
Robinstep's energy was draining fast.
A pale gray kit with ginger and black patches was born.
"She-cat" Oakleaf meowed
"Get back!" Fallowtail hissed suddenly.
Robinstep spotted Pricklekit and Picklekit peering at her. Fallowtail placed the tom beside Robinstep's belly.
"Push" Moondapple meowed.
Robinstep groaned and a white kit plopped onto the moss.
"Tom" Jaguartail meowed.
Oakleaf gave her a look and passed the kit to Quailtail.
"Push" Moondapple meowed.
A white kit with a black stripe was born.
"Tom" Oakleaf meowed.
Robinstep fell back in the moss. Tigerfur gave her a gentle lick between the ears and Jaguartail stroked her flank with her tail.
"Well done Robinstep" Moondapple purred.
Heathershine had one kit that looked like her and Robinstep had six kits that each resembled Russetclaw.
"What will you name them?" Fallowtail meowed.
"Well the tortoiseshell is Tawnykit, the black tom is Darkkit, the black she-cat is Ravenkit, the white tom is Whitekit,…I don't know what to name the others."
"Well the gray one with the black muzzle and ears and the ginger legs can be Oriolekit" Moondapple offered.
Robinstep nodded.
"The white one with the black stripe can be Blackkit" Fallowtail meowed."
"Perfect! Oriolekit, Darkkit, Tawnykit, Ravenkit, Blackkit, and Whitekit. Welcome to PetalClan my dear kits"
