Chapter 5
Though he couldn't see her, Jayfeather could sense the light emitting off of Squirrelflight.
"Squirrelflight!" Bramblestar gasped, rushing to his mate's side.
"Are you alright?" He asked worriedly.
"What? Honestly, I'm fine, Bramble-" Squirrelflight paused. Jayfeather could imagine her looking at her paws.
"Oh my StarClan!" She gaped, breathing heavily.
"My kits... they're, they're COMING!" She screeched.
Jayfeather raced to his den, the wind buffeting his fur. He sniffed out the borage, and he snatched it up in his teeth, tasting the slightly bitter flavor burning on his rough tongue.
"Here, Squirrelflight!" He meowed, dropping the herb at her paws.
Squirrelflight licked it up as another screech escaped her mouth.
Jayfeather lightly touched his paw to her stomach. He felt squirming, he felt something else, too...
"There'll be... two and a half." He answered, his mind buzzing with confusion.
"Two and a half? That's not possible, Jayfeather, don't be a mouse-brain!" Bramblestar hissed furiously.
Suddenly, Jayfeather could see.
Then, a golden-brown she-kit slithered out of Squirrelflight.
"Oh! It's hurting so bad!" She griped.
"Keep it together, you're almost done." Jayfeather reassured her as a dark brown tom with darker stripes flopped out.
"How come you didn't notice?" Bramblestar spat, clenching his teeth.
"I... don't know." Jayfeather admitted.
Then, a light brown tom that was glowing with no face came out of Squirrelflight. Then, it's face-thing scrunched up, and formed a real face. The tom immediately opened his eyes. They were pure gold.
Suddenly, everything went black again.
