"Wake up, Gingerslip, we have to get out of camp before my kits start coming"

Once we were out of camp we started walking out of GoldenCloudclan territory.

Foggysmoke was a lot more confident than usual, and was speedwalking ahead of me.

"what's the rush?" I asked

"Gingerslip, I'm about to have forbidden kits and the dawn patrol will be out soon, stop asking dumb questions" Foggysmoke answered briskly.

After a long walk in the middle of the night Foggysmoke finally said "this will do for my kits"

Once Foggysmoke was settled she adopted a playful look. "Now, peasant get me more moss for my nest and while your at it get me a vole"

I purred and meowed "of course, my queen"

I left Foggysmoke to go hunt, but the second I caught the scent of a vole I heard horrible yowling.

I raced back to Foggysmoke and found her writhing on the ground, "the kits" she gasped "their coming"

"what do I do?" I panicked, maybe I shouldn't've panicked, maybe I should've calmed down, maybe I should've listened to Foggysmoke.

Foggysmoke drew a sharp intake of air and meowed "when a kit comes out lick it, and stay in control don't pan-" then her head lolled back.

Now I was in full-blown panic, I guessed Foggysmoke was in shock but since I wasn't a medicine cat, I was probably wrong.

The second I saw a the beginning of a kit, I yanked it out, hard.

In hindsight I probably shouldn't've done that, after I yanked it out I put the kit down and started looking for another one.

I did the same thing for the next one, when Foggysmoke suddenly snapped awake, just as I was pulling out the-I hoped- last one.

"What are you doing Gingerslip!" She almost shrieked, "that's not how you deliver kits!"

"let go of that one right now." She commanded, once the kit was out I started waiting for another one when Foggysmoke looked at me as if saying "well?"

I looked right back at her and said "what?" Foggysmoke rolled her eyes, "lick the kit, like you did the other two."

I looked at her, confused "your supposed to lick them?" I asked,

now Foggysmoke was panicking "did you lick the other ones?"

I shook my head, Foggysmoke swept all the kits surrounding me, into her belly fur with her tail.

After she came to the conclusion that the other two kits were dead, she snapped her head towards me "you let my kits die, Gingerslip!"

I backed away "it wasn't my fault" I protested

Foggysmoke snarled "I told you to lick them!" She said coldly.

Then she turned her back to me, suddenly we both heard faint mewling.

The youngest kit was mewling pitifully, Foggysmoke pulled him close and started grooming him, while sighing in relief.

"Goldkit" she murmured.

After both Foggysmoke and her one kit were both strong enough, Foggysmoke announced it was time to go.

Foggysmoke picked up Goldkit and started padding back in the direction of clan territory.

"what are we going to tell them?" I asked, "we're going to tell them that we found Goldkit all alone in the territory"

...

The second I walked into camp, I was pelted by two furry bodies.The second one got off immediately and meowed "sorry,aunt Gingerslip" he meowed.

The second one jumped off and said "yeah,sorry, do you think that was impressive?" She asked nervously.

I nodded absentmidedly,Brushkit asked "where have you been?"

That's when Foggysmoke decided to pad into camp holding Goldkit by the scruff.

Mistdew was immediately on top of her "where have you two been all week"

Foggysmoke hesitated the meowed "we were out searching for a special herb" she lied

Mistdew nodded seemingly accepting the dumb lie, as Oakstar shoved her out of the way.

"where did you find this kit" she demanded.

Foggysmoke looked down-falling back into old habits-and muttered "in a bush"

Oakstar seemingly satisfied with the dumb lie left them alone.

I watched as Foggysmoke was pelted with questions, but ignored them all to show Cinderdawn his kit.

I watched as Magpiekit and Brushkit bragged to Frostraven about catching the "biggest" leaf in history.

I watched Stormsplash and Heather supposedly flirt with each other.

It seemed everyone had a life but me.
