A/N: Hello again everybody it has been a while, but I couldn't upload. The computer I use to upload recently got a virus because my cousin uses it a lot for I don't know what, and we took it in to get the virus removed. It broke the next day. So I asked my parents to get me a new one, they didn't until yesterday. So, sorry for the super late update. Updates will be regular again.
Thanks to somerandomgirlx3, The Age of Awesomeness, Fallowfire, and Slivered Lights for following and adding this story as a favorite.

ON WITH THE CHAPTER (FINALLY)
…
Topaz's pov
I sprinted quickly, chasing after a rabbit. I could have caught it earlier, but I slipped on the rain-covered grass, and now I had to chase it. It kept running around trees and sprinting through bushes. I was right behind it when I ran into something. I growled slightly and stood up to see Rat shaking his head. "Thanks for making me lose my prey," I hissed slightly.
He looked up, he was panting heavily. "Swift… kit's den… now," he said between pants and cleared his throat. I tilted my head and flicked my tail. "Swift is having her kits," he said quickly and ran back. I perked my ears up and sprinted after him. I ran ahead of him and ran into Weasel at the entrance of camp. I heard her yowl and I began padding towards the kit's den. Eclipse and Spirit stood in my way at the entrance. "You can't go in there when someone is kitting, you have to wait," Eclipse said and lashed his tail.
"But-"I was cut off by Spirit. "Those are the rules Topaz, now go wait with the others," Spirit said and motioned towards a group sitting outside the kit's den. I sighed and padded over to them. I began pacing in front of Rat and the group. "Relax Topaz," Glacier said to me. Nimble and their kits were curled up beside him. Shard lifted his head when Swift yowled again.
I growled slightly and forced myself to sit down. "Here," Weasel gave me a squirrel and I shook my head. "You have to eat something, don't start that again," he hissed and I looked up at him. I crouched down and bit into the squirrel. Horacio ran to the healer's den and returned with a stick. "Why can't I go in there," I murmured. "Remember, Risk, Ring, and Ember decided to make that a rule, in case an attack happens," Rat said and nuzzled Briar slightly.
I sighed and looked at my paws. I kept swaying my tail back and forth, I was too nervous and excited to stay still. I looked up and saw Horacio pad outside. He nodded to Eclipse and Spirit and they padded away. I stood up and trotted to him. "Can I see her now," I said. "Yes," he smiled and began padding to the healer's den. I entered the kit's den and flicked my tail.
Swift's nest was near the back of the den near Nimble's. She perked her ears up and looked up at me. Exhaustion was clear in her eyes. I purred loudly and sat by the nest. There were four kits. "Two she-kits and two toms," Grace said before padding outside. I purred loudly and nuzzled Swift. She purred tiredly and looked at our kits. I flicked my ear and I heard everyone talking outside, probably waiting for the right time to come inside.
"What should we name them," Swift looked at me and smiled slightly. One of the she-kits had silver fur with black stripes like Swift, the other she-kit also had silver fur, but she had a lighter chest and darker paws. One of the toms had plain grey fur; the other had copper brown fur like me with white paws, muzzle, and ear tips.
"You name two, I name two," I looked at Swift and she purred slightly. "Blizzard for this one," she placed her tail lightly on the she-kit with black stripes. I nodded slightly and looked at the others. "Rain for this she-kit," I said and nosed the other she-kit. Rain was sister's name; Swift doesn't know I have a sister. "Breeze," she touched the top of the grey tom's head with her nose gently.
I looked at the last kit. I remembered a promise I made when I was still a kittypet. "Eren," I smiled slightly and touched the little kit's head with my nose. "They're perfect," I purred and nuzzled Swift. Forest and Acorn padded inside the den. "They're so tiny," Acorn chuckled and Forest just purred. "Were we that small," Acorn looked at Forest and she nodded slightly.
Swift looked at Forest and they both smiled. Rat, Weasel, Briar, Glacier, and Nimble and his kits padded inside as well. Shard and Cloud stood as tall as they could, trying to see the new kits. "Can we see them," Shard said and jumped around Nimble. "What did you decide to name them," Briar looked at me and Swift.
"Blizzard, Rain, Breeze, and Eren," Swift purred, nosing each kit as she named them. I purred and licked her cheek. We all stayed silent the rest of the time.

Swift's pov
"I'll be back in the morning ok," Topaz whispered in my ear. We all spent the rest of the day in the kit's den. I nodded slightly and laid my head on the nest. Topaz padded outside the den. It took a while to finally convince him to go to the den. I looked at my kits and purred slightly. I was still exhausted. I curled my tail around them and closed my eyes.
I opened my eyes and saw Cherryfrost sitting in front of me. I lifted my head and shook my head. "You need to be extra careful now, since you can't fight in this war," she said and uncurled her tail from around her paws. "It won't be long until I start fighting again," I murmured and licked my paws.
"This is serious Swift," she hissed. "I will fight harder now, I have my kits to protect now," I snarled and lashed my tail. She rolled her eyes and looked away. "Just take care of everyone, especially Acorn," I heard her murmur quietly. "Why Acorn," I tilted my head and she looked at me. "No reason," she said with a hurtful look in her eyes. "Cherryfrost," I said and she shook her head. "You need to go," she growled and began disappearing a little.
I sighed and closed my eyes. I opened them once again and I was in the den. Topaz entered the den with a squirrel and rabbit in his mouth. It was morning. I purred slightly and he put the prey down near the nest. He nuzzled me and I purred a little louder.
I licked his cheek and he nudged the rabbit to me. "Thank you," I said and bit into the rabbit. We ate in silence.
…
Rat's pov
I ran after Briar, laughing. She looked behind her shoulder at me and stopped. I ran into her and we began tumbling down a small hill. She pinned me down at the bottom and purred. I purred and licked her cheek. She sighed and backed up, letting me sit up. "I love you," I purred and she smiled.
She twined our tails together and I smiled. "What do you think happened to Russel," she muttered and looked at me. I frowned slightly and shrugged. "We'll never find out," I murmured and nuzzled her. She lifted her head and flicked her ear. "Do you hear that," she said and stood up.
I perked my ears up. I heard a faint purring sound. I nodded and she began following the sound. I stood up and quickly followed her as well. It became louder by the time we made it to the bush that separated the waterfall and the rest of the forest. I nudged her and motioned to the trees. I climbed up first, she followed me. We stayed hidden in the leaves and I crouched down on the branch I was on.
To my surprise, I saw Weasel. He was sitting by Sand. I saw him nuzzle her and I gasp slightly. I looked at Briar and she looked at me as well. I couldn't hear what Sand was saying, but she stood up and padded away. Weasel smile was wide and he stood up soon after and began padding to the bushes. I leapt down and landed in front of him, startling him.
"What were you doing in a tree," he said and looked at Briar, who leapt down beside me. "I don't know, but what were you doing with Sand," I said and smiled slightly. "What did you see," he said and looked around. "Not a lot, but enough to tell me that you two love each other," I said and he shuffled his paws. "Look, don't tell anyone, we want to keep it a secret," he said to both me and Briar.
"But why," I said. "Rat, just please," Weasel said and flicked his tail. Briar nuzzled me and nodded to him. I sighed and smiled at him. "Fine, but if you two have kits, I am naming one," I teased him and he shoved me slightly. "Come on," he chuckled and raced ahead of us.
"I don't see why he wants to keep that a secret," I said to Briar on our way back. "Maybe because Gorge and Spirit don't want her to have a mate," Briar said. Gorge was Sand's dad, Spirit was her other brother. "Oh, I forgot about that," I chuckled and licked her ear. "Race you," Briar said and sprinted ahead of me.
"No fair," I yowled and ran after her. Another day where it is peaceful, Blazeclan wasn't attacking us, and we weren't attacking them.
