Dovewing felt pain like she never felt before. She cried out. She knew her kits were coming. It felt like her belly was being torn up from the inside. She hissed with agony. Dovewing cried out again and shouted, "Jayfeather!"
Bumblestripe came into the Nursery with Jayfeather at his side. "Here, bite on this stick."
Dovewing bite on the stick as hard as she could to ease the pain. The stick helped, but only just. As soon the first kit popped out of her stomach she broke the stick in two. Splinters flew out everywhere.
Another kit was on the way. Dovewing screamed in pain, and the next kit was out. Dovewing was glad when it was all over. Now she could take a good look at her kits. Jayfeather pushed the kits towards her and Dovewing licked them fervently.
One kit was an orange tabby and the other was a light shade of gray. Dovewing looked at her kits with admiration and adoration. "I've come up with names for them."
"Really? What are they?" Bumblestripe asked.
"The orange one will be named Firekit, in honor of Firestar, and the other one will be named Frostkit, because of her icy blue eyes."
"I think those are perfect names." Bumblestripe replied and he nuzzled Dovewing and the kits.
"C'mon, Bumblestripe. Let's leave Dovewing alone." Jayfeather said.
Bumblestripe left reluctantly, leaving Dovewing with Cinderheart who were both suckling their kits.
"Congratulations, Dovewing. I'm so happy for you." Cinderheart said. "It's a wonderful feeling, being a mother. Isn't it?"
"Yes, yes it is." Dovewing replied without hesitation.
Dovewing looked at Sunkit and Willowkit. They were already 3 moons old. Three more moons and they would become apprentices. She looked down at her kits. She couldn't believe that these frail creatures would one day become strong warriors.
She would cherish her kits just like Whitewing did with her and Ivypool.
Dovewing vigorously licked her kits; who were still suckling. Dovewing eventually fell asleep.
When Dovewing woke up her kits were scrambling at her belly. Cinderheart's kits came over to look at their new littermates. "Can we play with them?" Sunkit asked.
"No, not yet. They're much to young to play, but wait another moon and we'll see." Dovewing responded.
A look of disappointment crossed Sunkit and Willowkit's faces. They left the nursery with their tails dragging. Dovewing was sad she had to disappoint them, but she knew what was best for her kits.
Cinderheart got up and followed her kits. Dovewing was glad that when her kits were old enough she would be watching over her kits.
Finally a Dovewing chapter for you guys. Again I'm sorry its so short. But hey at least its still a Dovewing chapter.
