"Push, Cloversplash!"
Jayfeather's meow sounded around her.
It was a moon after Brightcloud and Ambercloud's kits became apprentices, and Jayfeather and Foxleap had forced her to move to the nursery about half a moon ago.
The kits were finally coming, but much more painful that she thought it would be.
"Can't they just wait?" Cloversplash asked, panting, to which Jayfeather replied with a snort.
"Huh, as if. Now hold still, bite this stick and push!" He meowed, pushing a stick towards her muzzle.
As the first kit came, Cloversplash bit into the stick so hard it splintered. The next kit that came didn't take too long after that. And that was it. Two beautiful kits, a tom and a she-cat.
The first was a russet tom, and the second was a ginger she-cat with two white paws. Cloversplash could tell that at least one of them would have green eyes, since she and Foxleap had them too.
Jayfeather soon called in Foxleap and the others, who were all waiting for their turn to see the kits.
When Foxleap first saw them, he was speechless.
At last, he spoke, "oh, Cloversplash, they're everything I wanted and more."
"I know, they look just like you." Cloversplash meowed, her voice thick with emotion for her mate.
"Only in colour, other than that, they are totally you!" He meowed back, nuzzling her as he spoke. They laid silently together for what seemed like forever, but in a good way. She would always love Foxleap with his personality, his charm, his smell, and his handsome physique. Now she had his kits. Foxleap's kits!
"How long do you want to wait before we name them?" Foxleap asked at last with a glint in his eye.
"Why?" Cloversplash meowed in between licks over his eyes and ears.
"I may or may not have something in mind." He answered.
"Let's hear them." She replied. She would do anything for him, even let him suggest a name.
"I want to name the she-cat Gingerkit." He meowed.
"Err- I don't know..." Cloversplash meowed teasingly. "You'll have to persuade me."
"Oh yeah?" Foxleap meowed as he leaped onto her lightly, while covering her with gentle licks all over her body and massaging her back with his claws. He then pulled her head back and touched her nose with his. "Can I name her now?" He whispered.
"Of course."
"You name the tom." Foxleap meowed while he licked her ear.
"Squirrelkit." She said at once.
"Persuade me." Foxleap demanded, but she just pushed him away in a teasing way and purred.
"Ha! No way." She purred.
"What? No fair!" He meowed and pretended to pout.
"Fine! Fine!" Cloversplash laughed. "Oh my precious warrior, will thou do me the honor of letting me name our son, who will grow up to be as brave and courageous as thee?"
"I thought you'd never ask." He meowed, touching her nose with his once more.
