Ali's P.O.V. Three moons later
Three moons. Three whole moons since we attacked. I sigh and press against Nico. I see Echo beckoning for me to come over to her. She was basically the med cat. I pad over to her. "I have to tell you something." She says and I look at her. "Your pregnant." She says and I purr. "They are due in a moon." She says and I nod. "That is all." She says and I pad back to Nico. He pulls me close and I purr. "What did Echo want?" He asks and I look at him. "Well, you have to guess." I say and we pad into the den. "Well... you've gained weight..." he says and looks at me. "Your pregnant." He says and I nod. He leads me to our nest and curls around me. "In one moon, we shall have kits!" I say, licking his cheek. "I will take care of everything. You are going to stay in camp and let me fuss over you. Okay?" He says and I nod. I purr and nuzzle him. Soon I fall asleep, feeling his soothing licks on my pelt.
The next day I wake up and Nico isn't there. I sniffle a little. I miss him and I just got up. A few minutes later, he pads in with a squirrel and sees the worry on my face. He curls around me and nuzzles me. "What is wrong?" He asks and I look at him. "I am too attached to you." I whisper and nuzzle him. "That's okay. I love you." He says and we share the squirrel. He takes the bones away. Dove and Ivy pad in and I look at them. "Hey sis!" Dove says and pads over to me with Ivy in tow. "We heard about your kits!" Ivy squeals and I purr. "Dove! Ivy!" Fox calls from the clearing outside our den. "Whoops! We are going hunting!" Dove says and they sprint into the clearing. Soon Nico comes inside and settles next to me. I purr but it is cut off by pain in my stomach. "Get... Echo..." I say to Nico and he sprints out, fear flooding off him. Soon Echo appears and feels my belly. "The kits are coming." She says and Nico settles beside my head, giving me soothing licks.
AFTER KITTING
"You have five healthy kits." Echo tells me and gives me some herbs. I pull my kits close and Nico curls around me. He licks the top of my head soothingly and I purr. My kits suckle and I purr. I fall asleep soon after. The kitting was tired.
The next morning, I wake up as Nico brings in a rabbit. I purr as he curls around me. We eat the rabbit as my kits suckle. "Do you want to name the kits?" Nico asks and I nod. "Dawn." I say and point to an orange she cat with a darker tail, paws, and belly. "Lilly." Nico says, pointing to the gray she kit with white paws and a white belly. "Shade." My mate says, pointing to the full black tom with white paws. "Honey." I say, pointing to the golden she cat with white back paws. "And for the last kit, Turtle." I say, pointing to the tortishel she cat. "Perfect." Nico purrs and I nuzzle him. Dove walks in with Ivy, and Lion. "Awwww." They say toghether, looking at my kits. "Did you name them yet?" Ivy asks and I nod. "Dawn, Lilly, Shade, Honey, and Turtle." I say and point to each kit. "They're beautiful." Sierra says, padding in. "We should go. You look tired." Sierra says and leads my siblings away. Nico purrs and starts grooming my fur. I fall asleep soon after that.
I wake up the next day. Nico isn't next to me. I sigh. I look at my kits. Five adorable kits. Dawn opens her eyes. She has Pale green eyes. I purr softly. Nico comes in soon with a squirrel. "Dawn opened her eyes." I say as he settles beside me. "Wow. I went hunting and caught you a fresh squirrel." He says and I lick his cheek. We eat the squirrel and I hear growling from the clearing. Nico looks out of the entrance. "We wish to see our sister." A voice says and I look over at Nico. He disappeared. I pull my kits close when I hear movement outside the entrance. Nico pads in with a scared Goldenpaw while Silverpaw pads quietly behind her. "Ali!" Silverpaw says, perking up. "Hello." I say and pulls my kits close. "Woah." Goldenpaw says when she sees my kits. Nico settles beside me. "Awwwwwww." Silverpaw says, looking at each kit.
"Hi." Dawn meows, looking at my sisters. "I'm um... I don't know." She says and I look at her. "Your name is Dawn." I say and she nods. "I'm Dawn." She says and Silverpaw laughs. "I'm Honey." Honey says. She has blue eyes. "Who is the leader here?" Silverpaw asks and I giggle. I flick my tail to Nico and Goldenpaw looks confused. "So, Nico is the leader?" Silverpaw asks and I nod. "And i'm the deputy." I say and they nod. "Sis, can I come in?" A voice says from the entrance and I know it is my sister Moon's voice. "Come on in!" I say and she pads in. "Hey!" She says when she gets next to the nest. "How is everything?" I ask her and she thinks. A screech comes from the clearing and Nico runs to the entrance. "Ali, come here." He says and I pad forward. I see a dead fox ( not the cat but the other kind) and Lake lying dead on the ground. Nico pads forward until he is on the ledge where we announce stuff. "We have lost a friend today! She shall be barried." Is all he says and pads back to me. I go to my nest and curl around my kits. "You should find Sierra." I tell moon and she nods. "What are you gonna do? Are you gonna go back tonight or tomorrow?" I ask my other sisters and they look at each other.
