Prologue
Doeleap's pov
" are you sure you want to sleep hear tonight?" Yarrowtree asked
" Yes, its so much warmer than the nursery in hear." I replied.
"well I'm not gonna convince you am I. Good night." Yarrowtree purred as se left the spare den.
I curled up in my nest hoping my kits would come soon and went to sleep. I woke with a yowl. It was the middle of the night and snow was falling thick and fast but most importantly my belly was on fire. " Yarrowtree!" I yowled "Help" I began pacing the den wincing at every spasm. they were verry far apart but they still hurt a lot. Yarrowtree burst into the den with a mouthful of herbs. "Lay down, now." she commanded " Your kits are coming It's gonna take a while though." I led down in my nest and wailed " It hurts though." Yarrowtree flashed me a sympathetic look " Don't worry it's completely natural for it to hurt. Don't talk you need to save your energy." I nodded as another spasm griped my body.
Time became a haze until Yarrowtree shouted " Bite the stick when you next spasm a kit is coming!" The pain came. I crunched the stick and a kit slithered from my body. "It's a she kit. Push again another is coming!" Pain seized me again as a spasm went through me. Another kit slithered out. " It's another she kit. Your doing well Doeleap one more to go." another wave of pain washed over me. I bit down. This time no little kit came. " Keep going Doeleap I see it." This time the pain was the worst. I felt like i was being burnt from the inside. I bit the stick. With a yowl of pain I pushed on more time. The last kit slid out of me onto the soft nest. " well do Doeleap you did well, you have three daughters." I tucked the tiny kits into me and went to sleep.
"Doeleap wake up! We're snowed in!" I woke with a start " What! My kits will freeze to death." I nosed the sleeping kits checking they were still alive. "Don't worry Goldnose IS digging us out now just keep the kits warm." I curled up protectively around my kits. the snow wall exploded covering me in snow. I glanced at the kits making sure no snow touched them.
"Are you ok." Redreed called as he ran in. "I'm fine and you have three daughters." Redreed looked shocked then meowed " That's amazing have you thought of any names yet."
" Can we call the spotty one Strawberrykit, the Red one Cherrykit and the small red one Dragonkit?"
"Those are perfect names Doeleap. I love them."
Being born in the middle of a snowstorm is only the star of the unusual things that will happen to Dragonkit.
If I finish a chapter early I will post it early for you.
Question of the day. Who is your favorite Strawberrykit Cherry kit or Dragonkit?
