Skycloud waited outside the nursery nervously. Goldflight was inside, having her kits. Windleaf was with her. Skycloud longed to go in and comfort her, but Windleaf forbid it. She told him he would have to wait outside. So here he was, outside the nursery. Sprayheart walked over. "What's got you all worked up?" she asked playfully. "Goldflight is having our kits." Skycloud said, not taking his eyes off the ground. Sprayheart was surprised, how could she not have known the whole time that Goldflight was going to have kits? "Oh. Why don't you come hunting with me? It looks like some fresh air could do you good." Sprayheart suggested. Skycloud nodded and followed her out of camp. Maybe his kits would be born by the time he came back.
Later when they walked into camp Skycloud bounded towards the nursery. Windleaf was waiting for him outside. She nodded and he walked in slowly. Goldflight was nestled up and sleeping while two beautiful little kits were nursing. The girl was white, while the boy was cream. Opposites from their parents, Skycloud thought to himself. He left quietly so Goldflight could rest with their kits.
Outside Skycloud noticed something that made him smile. Sprayheart was licking Scruffpelt affectionately. Scruffpelt licked her back and they laid down to sleep.
The next day Skycloud walked into the nursery again. Goldflight was up and smiled as he walked over. "Good morning." She purred. Skycloud gave her a lick as the kits scrambled around. Their eyes weren't open yet.
A minute later Sprayheart walked into the nursery. Goldflight smiled, "I'm glad you came to see them. I've been wanting them to meet you." She said, referring to the kits. Sprayheart smiled, "I'm glad I can meet them, but that's not why I'm here." Skycloud and Goldflight exchanged awkward glances. "I'm having my own kits." Sprayheart said. Skycloud smiled, "I'm glad you found someone, who is it?" he tried to sound as if this was as normal as ever. Sprayheart smiled her loving smile. "Scruffpelt is the father." She said, as she laid down to rest.
Skycloud laid down beside Goldflight and the two watched their kits in peace, without having to worry about anything.
