Chapter 12

Jayfeather's POV

I heard Mistcloud walk in the den. She was due any day now.

"Hi Jayfeather."she meowed cheerfully.

"Hi Mistcloud."

"Do you want to go on a walk?"

"...Sure."I said,brushing my tail against her pelt.

We walked out of the camp.

"So,how is Tailkit,too?"I asked,finally talking about the kit she found four or five moons ago.

"He's fine. Don't you ever visit the nursery?"

"You should know! You've been in there for five moons!"I said.

"True. Whitewing says I should take care of him when my kits are born,because I found him."

"What did you say?"

"I was happy to. Tailkit is actually staying in my nest now."she said.

Suddenly,Mistcloud gasped in pain.

"What's wrong?"I asked quickly.

"N-nothing.I just felt a kick,that's all."she said,trembling.

I put a paw on her swollen belly.

"That was no kick,Mistcloud. The kits are coming!"I said.

"B-but,they can't be coming now! We're in the middle of the forest!"

Mistcloud's POV

"Mistcloud,it's okay. Do you trust me?"he said.

I looked into his deep blue eyes.

"I do trust you."I said.

Jayfeather's nose twitched as he sniffed for herbs. He ran and got some borage and juniper,then came back and made a nest out of some moss that was growing along a tree behind us.

I lay there,still trembling,as Jayfeather put his paw lightly on my belly.

"Three kits."he told me.

I nodded,then shrieked as a strong ripple passed across my body.

A tiny bundle fell onto the moss. Jayfeather licked it fiercely,then he put his paw back on my belly. Another ripple came,and I shrieked again. I closed my eyes and waited for the last kit. The last ripple came,unexpectedly harder than the first. I yowled loudly,then collapsed on the moss,panting.

"You're done."Jayfeather purred.

I opened my eyes and looked at the kits.

One was fluffy with a light golden pelt and dark streaks, another was dark gray with barely visible black stripes,and the other was golden with gray stripes.

Gold with gray stripes? How is that possible?I thought.

"What are you going to name them?"Jayfeather asked."The first and last kits are she-cats,and the second one is a tom."

"You should help. They're your kits,too."I pointed out."Name at least one of 's a light gold one,a dark gray one,and one gold one with gray stripes."

"Okay,the gold one is Sunnykit."he said.

"The dark gray one will be Wolfkit." I said.

I looked at him."What about the last one?"

"How about-"

Thunder suddenly sounded above,and rain started pouring down.

I giggled and said,"Maybe Rainkit?"

A/N: So,Mistcloud and Jayfeather's kits are finally born. I know the last kit,Rainkit,has a SUPER weird pelt,but it a combination of Misty and Jay! And Silversong901, I did pick your kit,but I'm going to change him a bit. To everyone else that submitted a kit,your kits were great,but I liked Wolfkit a bit more. I have nothing against you or your kits. So...with that-JayfeatherFan23 out! PEACE! :3
