"Ow ow ow that hurts!", Leafshade squealed from where she lay, writhing in pain, that morning her kitting had started and Moonkit was allowed to stay inside the nursery with Goosekit, as long as she didn't make a sound or move. The nursery was crowded with Cloudwhisher and Rosewhisker trying to help the kitting along, and Moonkit realized that she'd have to get used to it being this crowded if the rumors that were swirling around camp were true and Dapplefoot was expecting kits.

Moonkit was startled from her thoughts by Cloudwhisher yowling, "It's a tom and there's at least two more kits on the way!"

Leafshade was squealing in pain as the last two kits came and Moonkit pledged to herself that she'd never have kits if that was how bad it hurt. She just wanted to become a warrior, fighting for her Clan in any way she could.

"Moonkit," Mistleleaf mewed, jarring Moonkit from her thoughts, "Come look, Leafshade and Woollypelt have named them Fuzzykit, Swiftkit, and Harekit!"

Moonkit padded over, nervous, but exited to see the kits.

"I think we can see where Fuzzykit got that spiky fur from," Goosekit purred into Moonkit's ear as she got closer, she shot a glance at Woollypelt, and seeing his ragged, tangled fur, she let out a purr of laughter, nodding at the obvious statement.

Even though these kits were cute, Moonkit still felt that she would never be able to have kits.
