Had Enough
Two small kits suckled at my side. One was a dark cream she-kit, and the other one was a black and white tom. I smiled as I looked down at
them. My kits. Spiderleg's and my new kits. We named the Rosekit and Toadkit.
One of the kits, Rosekit, looked up at me. Her tiny eyes opened and she stared at me for a few heartbeats before looking at her brother.
Enormous pride swelled in my heart as I watched Toadkit open his eyes too.
"Millie," I whispered, looking at the queen next to me. Millie was Graystripe's mate, and she was a former kittypet like me. She was heavy with
his kits when my own were born, and they should be coming any day now. "Millie, look, they opened their eyes."
The silver tabby she-cat looked over at me and purred. "Daisy, that's great! I cannot wait until I have my kits. I've sure had enough of this
waiting around all day!" she meowed. I nodded, purring. It was understandable, of course, that she should be impatient. It was only at the time
of the birth when you wished to delay.
Rustling noises came from the entrance, and I looked eagerly to see if it was Spiderleg coming to see his kits. Instead, it was Graystripe. He
looked nervously at us queens until he spotted Millie, and his face visibly relaxed.
"Millie!" he purred, walking carefully so he did not step on my kits. I watched enviously as Graystripe rubbed his head against Millie's pelt and
they murmured softly to each other. Since Toadkit and Rosekit were born, Spiderleg had only come to see me twice, and for some days, I didn't
see him at all. The tom barely knew his own kits!
I put my head on my paws and Millie looked at me pityingly. "Sometimes, things just don't work out, Daisy," she said softly, flicking my pelt with
her tail.
"I know, but I really thought I had found someone special for me in this Clan! He doesn't even know their eyes are open," I mewed sadly, looking
down at my kits and feeling pity for them.
The entrance rustled again, and a black head popped through. "Spiderleg!" I meowed in surprise as my long-limbed mate stepped inside. "Look,
our kits opened their eyes!"
Spiderleg just nodded at me. He didn't even say anything! Anger flared in my blood, and I felt my pelt bristling. "Perhaps you didn't hear
me, Spiderleg," I hissed, trying to control myself. "Our kits opened our eyes today, and you missed it."
"Oh, I... umm, I heard you, D-Daisy. Do you want some fresh-kill?" he meowed, looking down at his paws.
I stood up, sending the kits tumbling from my stomach. "No, Spiderleg, I do not want fresh-kill! I want you to spend some time with me and your
kits!" I yowled. He gave me a guilty look and glanced at the kits. "You never check up on us, and you've never even said a word to our kits!"
"Daisy... I have warrior duties..."
"Don't use that excuse! Graystripe is in here all of the time to check on Millie, and she didn't even have her kits yet!" I growled. "You just don't
care about me anymore!"
Spiderleg seemed shocked. "Daisy... I... I'm sorry..."
"I don't care, Spiderleg!" I cried, sinking to the nursery floor. "I've just had enough!"
Well, did you expect me to make Daisy act normal? She's a complete drama queen!!!
