"Gingerfire, Lilytalon's kits are coming," meowed Silverstar, Gingerfire's best friend and the leader of Thunderclan after Bramblestar's (Gingerfire's father) passing.
"Good, Lilytalon deserves some joy after Falconwing's death last moon," replied Gingerfire. Lilytalon is Gingerfire's kit and Lilytalon had been sad ever since her mate, Falconwing, died in a fox attack but not before taking down a fox. Gingerfire and Silverstar tried to cheer up Lilytalon with hunting but that never worked. What finally cheered her up was when Petalfrost, Thunderclan's medicine cat and Silverstar's littermate, told her she was expecting kits. The clan pampered her after that. Especially Larkbreeze and Starlingfang (Lilytalon's sister and Falconwing's sister) they wanted to make sure Lilytalon was cared for.
"Hurry though, Lilytalon requested that you be there with her," meowed Silverstar.
"Okay, I'll be there as quick as I can. Are Featherkit, Lightningkit, Bluekit and Dawnkit out of the nursery?" asked Gingerfire
"Only Dawnkit is still in there since she has her heart set on becoming a medicine cat," replied Silverstar as they entered the nursery.
"Oh good you're here," meowed Petalfrost. "So far no kits have arrived but as far as I can tell there's going to be three of four kits."
"Quit your blabbing and help me," hissed Lilytalon.
"Okay, settle down Lilytalon. Dawnkit, can you get me a strong stick," meowed Petalfrost. "And Silverstar can you fetch me some borage?" Silverstar and Dawnkit leave. "Gingerfire, when the first kit comes I'll need you to be quick." Just then several ripples passed through Lilytalon's belly.
"Dear Starclan this hurts," yowled Lilytalon. Finally, Dawnkit arrives with a stick for Lilytalon and Petalfrost gave it to her. Not to long after, the first kit arrived. A light ginger tom, he looks almost exactly like Lilytalon but with an even darker underbelly. Gingerfire instantly started licking the little kit.
"Congratulations Lilytalon, a little tom," meowed Petalfrost as Silverstar entered the den with the needed borage. More ripples passed through Lilytalon's belly and she bit down hard on the stick making it splitter. Another kit arrived, this one a dark ginger with brown flecks. "Another tom," Silverstar starts licking the little tom.
"Come on Lilytalon you're almost there, just two more," meowed Dawnkit as she felt Lilytalon's belly. As more ripples passed through Lilytalon's stomach, Silverstar left to help Crowtail the patrols for the day. The second to last kit was born, a golden she-kit. Petalfrost instantly started licking the little kit. "A little she-kit," meowed Dawnkit. "Come on, hold on there's one more." Lilytalon was getting weaker with each breath. Silverstar came back and told Gingerfire that she was on the Sun-down patrol with Ivypool, Ambermoon and Honeydew. As Silverstar was explaining the patrol the last kit was born.
"I'm sorry Lilytalon but she was born dead," meowed Petalfrost as she gazed at the small pale golden she-kit with white stripes.
"I will still give her a name," meowed Lilytalon. "Her name shall be Fangkit and my oldest kit's name is Foxkit. The second oldest is named Falconkit. And my third kit's name is Sandkit."
