For quite a while the nursery of ThunderClan was empty after Jessy's kits became apprentices, with their mother moving into the warrior den. Daisy was the only cat for many moons and to say that she was happy was an understatement. It was obvious the cream-colored she-cat missed Ferncloud terribly.
But as was expected, the lull in queens and kittens was broken when it was discovered that Millie was expecting her second litter. The striped gray tabby had been unprepared for the news, believing she would be moving into the elders den when Larktalon received his warrior name.
It was only a few moons later that little Hailkit was brought into the world, a handsome tabby who looked like a small copy of his father. His fur was long, his coat was the same silver shaded, in fact all that was different was that Hailkit was like his mother in terms of build and had her light green eyes.
Hailkit was not alone in the nursery for very long either, for only two sunrises later Twigkit and Violetkit were born to Daisy. And, like Toadstep and Rosepetal, their father was none other than Spiderleg.
Twigkit was much like her father and older sister Rosepetal. Her fur was short, her body was lean and agile. Her base coat was the same creamy-white of her mother and siblings, but her points were plain blue-gray.
Violetkit took after Daisy more, even having her fluffy fur. Her points, however, were a mirror to those of her older brother Toadstep. Cream base fur with blackish-brown points. Both kits had the color point's deep blue eyes.
Being a typical kit who had been used to being the Clan's only baby, Hailkit was a tad resentful of the new arrivals.
Hard to believe now, watching as all three kits were sneaking up on Jayfeather's tail. Hailkit was leading the way as always, but lately Twigkit had started rebelling a little, which sometimes led to a small quarrel. Nothing too serious of course and in the end they would all be friends by the end of the day.
As their mothers looked on with amusement, Jayfeather must've sensed the kits' intention. He spun around at the last second, his nose just inches from Twigkit. Obviously not expecting such a fast response, Twigkit let out a high-pitched shriek as she turned tail and ran for her mother.
"Mama, the weird kitty scared me!" she said, burrowing her way underneath her mom's fluffy belly.
Hailkit and Violetkit were still standing in front of the medicine cat, but while Violetkit looked ready to run for the hills, Hailkit was calm. Even though his fur was bristled like a pine-cone.
"We're sorry, Jayfeather," he mewed. Moving closer to his smaller denmate. Jayfeather grunted, flicking both of their ears with his tail tip. "Annoying furballs," he muttered with a shake of his head.
Purring amongst themselves, both queens settled for calling back their kits.
