petalrain !!

Petalrain slowly opened her eyes. The overcast sky hung above Serenityclan camp on this fine morning. Leaf-bare drew closer and closer, and Petalrain didn't like it one bit. Worst time to have kits, ever. Why, Petalrain, why are you so dumb sometimes? She grunted as she slowly sat up. Ugh. It was getting harder and harder to move around, with this big belly slowly her down. She couldn't wait to just have the damn things. At least then she could occasionally go out for a while with Duskheart or someone.

She stood up, and tottered around uneasily. Fortunately, none of the kits had waken up, so there was no playing or screaming. Petalrain needed a little peace and quiet for a while.

She sighed, as she found that the other queens were asleep as well. Wasn't there anything she could do? Being a queen was so boring. It's not like I don't want these kits, because I do. But I have give up my life for them? Jeez.

petalrain !!

Hmm?

Petalrain whirled around, but only saw Autumnkit. She relaxed. He must have just woken up. Out of her young half-siblings, Petalrain felt as if she could connect with Autumnkit the most. She wasn't sure why she felt that way. But ever since Autumnkit had crawled to her as a newborn, instead of Cherrysmoke, she kept a strong bond with the young tom.

She smiled faintly at him, and plopped herself down next to him. Hey, Autumnkit. She sighed at his question. She hadn't been in the nursery very long, but it had felt like ages to the expecting queen. His question just reminded her of what was to come. Yes, you all are going to have neices and nephews in less than a moon now. She sighed again and shifted her weight to be more comfortable. Are you gonna like having new kits to boss around?, She teased.

. Lionkit .
. Through the eye of the storm .

Thin amber lids fluttered open with sleepiness as another amber body shifted in their sleep, the large amber male looked up over his twin brothers side to see Petalrain, a new queen who was getting more pregnant every day, and Autumnkit, the new queens half-brother. The amber male knew he wouldn't be able to fall back asleep so he got to his large paws and shook his fluffy coat. He didn't want to disturb any others so they could all get their sleep, he made his way over to the pair cautiously not wanting to disrupt their conversation. 'Is it okey if I join you two? Blazekit woke me and I can't fall back asleep.' The fluffy male looked at the expecting queen and his den-mate with large ochre orbs, his voice soft and tired. He sat down with a little pusst if Petalrain or Autumnkit asked him to leave them be he would but right now he sat there waiting for either answer.

[SHADE. :D]

cherrysmoke

Cherrysmoke exhaled at length as voices dragged her from her calm sleep. She blinked open her blue-green eyes with a yawn, which showed off her sharp, pearly teeth. There was no trace of sadness in her eyes. She had forced herself to stop thinking about Moonkit all the time. It was only at night, before she fell asleep, that she allowed herself to mope and wonder. She didn't even know if he had recieved his warrior name yet. Cherrysmoke drew her tongue over Adderkit's fluffy back, noticing that Autumnkit was nowhere to be found. She got to her paws, stretching, careful not to disturb Adderkit, Larchkit or Deerkit. Cherrysmoke followed her son's scent, and wasn't surprised to find him with one of her older daughter's, Petalrain. She had been overjoyed to discover that the white she-cat was having kits, though she wasn't sure how Petalrain herself thought of it. She flicked her tail gently over Lionkit's ear and licked her small son between the ears. "Hey," she mewed to Petalrain. "How are you?"

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

autumnkit

[/color] He mewed with a grunt, his ears perkig as he heard the muffled sounds of another cat waking. He flicked his head towards Lionkit as he came to sit with them. He cuffed the other tom over the ear, jumping to hide behind Petalrain. Autumnkit perked up as he heard his mother wake and come over to them, a wide grin across his small face as he jumped around the other side of the pregnant she-cat, jumping towards her mother. "Morning!" He mewed, his voice a semi-whisper.

petalrain !!

Petalrain looked up from Autumnkit, and saw the excited Lionkit come towards them. She smiled at the kit. While carrying around kits was annoying, seeing their sweet faces brightened anybody's day. Of course you can join us, Petalrain mewed to Lionkit. Then, another distraction arrived, in the form of her mother. She was always glad to see her mother. It was quite unusual to be a queen alongside her, however. But it meant that she got to be closer to her, and her half-siblings. Hey, Mom, She said, but softer. I feel fat. She let out a small laugh, and patted her bloated stomach with a white paw. I can't wait until these kits are born. It's so hard to do anything except sleep. And I have the appetite of a mountain lion! She sighed and moved around, uncomfortable once more. And you? How are you?

DUSKHEART.

[/font][/right][/color]

The dark blue-gray form of Duskheart became visible in the form of a silhouette at the entrance of the nursery, the dull green eyes nothing compared to the bright rays of pale dawn sunlight that streamed in around his large frame. His optics became visible as he stepped further into the den, the sunlight less dazzling in contrast to the darkness of his pelt. "Hello, love," came his voice, low and loving. He was quite happy to be a father. He wasn't toally sure about his mate, but, indeed, he was contented. Duskheart approached his mate, and her mother and younger brother, as well as Lionkit. The tom sidled up by Petalrain, gently nuzzling her cheek. "Are you okay with having kits?" he murmured to her. "I...I just want to be sure that you're happy. I want what you want, what's best for you. Are you okay with being a mother?" His pine green eyes held all seriousity. He wanted his mate to be happy.[/blockquote]

LARCHKIT.

[/font][/right][/color]

"Hey!" came the squeak of Larchkit when he heard Autumnkit's remark about him and Adderkit being bossy. "I don't boss no one around either!" The little tom marched haughtily up to join his family - Petalrain, Autumnkit, and Cherrysmoke - along with his older sister's mate - Duskheart - and Lionkit. The little one stuck his pink tongue out indignantly at his brother before turning his hazel gaze to his half-sister. "Oh yeah! You're havin' kits! I'm gonna be an uncle!" He flashed a smile at Cherrysmoke. He watched as Duskheart mewed something hushedly, lovingly in Petalrain's ear, giggling. Lovey-dovey stuff was weird.[/blockquote]

[lonelylove :D]

petalrain ]]

[/right]

Petalrain mewed joyfully when Duskheart and Larchkit joined the family gathering. Hello, darling, She murmured in her mate's ear. She licked his ear then, but tried not to do anything that would make all the kits go "Eww!," because she remember how that was like. Chills went up and down her spine when he touched her, just like they always did. She smiled sweetly at him when he asked, in a worried tone, if she was okay with all of this. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm okay with this. I hate carrying them around, though. I can't do anything. I feel like a lump of fur that's always hungry. I've always wanted to be a mother, Duskheart. I know this is what I want.

She moved away from her mate's touch to smile at Larchkit. He was giggling at their intimacy, but she just smirked at him. Of course I'm having kits! I wouldn't be this fat otherwise. She waggled her tail at him, as if she was scolding him. And hey, don't laugh at love. One day, you're gonna look at a girl one day, a lot different than you ever looked at anyone else. And then you'll know.[/color][/size][/blockquote]

[SHADE. :D]

cherrysmoke

Cherrysmoke nuzzled her elder daughter's neck affectionately. She smiled at Petalrain's words. "I know, tiring, isn't it?" she mewed, eyes twinkling. "I've had to do it twice. And I'm twice your age!" She watched her fluffy son gallop towards her, a gentle smile on her lips. "It's worth it in the end, though." She leant down to lick Autumnkit between his pointed ears. As the white she-cat asked how she was, Cherrysmoke forced a smile. "I'm fine. I'm coping." It wasn't exactly a lie. And she didn't want to upset Petalrain - not in her condition. Cherrysmoke was saved from saying any more by the arrival of Duskheart. She smiled and nodded politely to her daughter's mate. The sturdy queen rolled her eyes affectionately at Larchkit's forgetfulness. She pulled him to her chest as he began to giggle. "Hey, that's enough of that," she mewed, her voice light and filled with amusement. She knew they were unlikely to see her other kits now. Deerkit hated crowds, and Adderkit was so anti-social that he'd never come near so many cats.

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

autumnkit

[/color] He mewed, turning to look at his favorite older sibling, making a face as Duskheart came in. It disappeared quickly though as he bounded towards his brother-in-law. "Hiya Duskers! Are you as excited as I am?" He asked, grinning as he shuffled from paw to paw, lowering into a crouch. It was no wonder everyone knew from the start who's son this was. Even without looking at who the mother was, they knew who Autumnkit's father was. Most cats would immediately think of how Blizzardhawk used to be before battle with the Tribe.

"I can't wait till the kits are born! Maybe I'll be an apprentice by then! OH OH! Maybe Dad will be my mentor!" He cried, jumping up as he turning, bounding towards Adderkit and Deerkit. "Hey Deerkit! Wake up!" He mewed, gently prodding his sister in the side.

petalrain ]]

Petalrain nodded in agreement with her mother. Tiring? Yes!! She smiled, but movement in her stomach made it a pained one. I hope so, She murmured. She knew Cherrysmoke must still be sad about Moonkit, but that fact that she wasn't acting upon showed she was was holding up well.

She nodded absentmindedly in Autumnkit's direction. Something about not being bossy. Sure, sure, She meowed. She didn't pay much attention until he suddenly cried out. Silly, it's not that long from now. You'll still be Autumnkit. And hey, be gentle with Deerkit. Sometimes, Petalrain felt like the kits' other mother.

. Lionkit .
. Through the eye of the storm .

Lionkit smiled when they said he could stay, he was about to chase after Autumnkit in play when Cherrysmoke stepped in, his ochre eyes glowed as he padded as silently as he could on his large amber paws towards the other amber kit. Before he could do anything Duskheart and Larchkit appeared he sat back down with a huff and started listening to the conversation they warriors were having, looked away from Duskheart and Petalrain when everything got all weird and he almost started to giggle like Larchkit. But then Autumnkit got his attention again and he started stalking forward with his large paws hitting the ground softer then they were but they could still be heard. 'I will get you, Autumnkit!' His voice was a whisper when he spoke and he smiled playfully at his den-mate.

[SHADE. :D]

deerkit

Her dreams were soft and comforting as the moss she slept on - maybe more so. The silver tortoiseshell kitten was curled in a ball of mottled fur, slowly rising and falling as she breathed. The kitten was not disturbed by the talking nearby, her sleep was so deep. But as a paw touched her side, and an excitable voice hit her ears as hard as a tossed brick, Deerkit woke. Her slim body twisted in the bedding, and her head popped out of a mass of silvery fur. "Wh-wh-what?" she whimpered, her eyes wide with fear. "Wh-who's hurt?" Deerkit blinked her wide, beautiful liquid brown eyes as she noticed that nobody seemed to be leaking blood at an alarming rate. She squealed in fear as Lionkit jumped out of nowhere, and scrambled backwards over Adderkit's brown-striped body. Deerkit crouched, shaking a little with fright.

_{The red-furred female entered the nursery, smiling gently at all the little ones running around the place. Pansyblossom's steps were carefully measured so that she stepped in a free area and not on a kit. "I hope I'm not intruding," the she-cat said, lifting her eyes as she sat down by Petalrain and Cherrysmoke. Her storm-gray eyes flashed to Duskheart for a moment before going to the femmes. "I need to talk to you both." She waited to see what they would say.}

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

autumnkit

[/color] Autumnkit growled narrowing his blue-green eyes before flashing them towards his sister, crouching down beside her. "You okay? I didn't mean to scare you. And Lionkit didn't either, did you?" He asked, turning his burning gaze onto the tom. He perked up alittle when Pansyblossom came in. Though he thought she wasn't too fond of her younger siblings, Autumnkit still liked her, even if she didn't in return.

. Lionkit .
. Through the eye of the storm .

Lionkit stared apologetically at Deerkit when he saw that he had terribly frightened her, 'I'm sorry, Deerkit! Please don't be scared! I didn't mean to! Honest!' The fluffy amber males beautiful ochre eyes glowed with the apology he held. His large amber paws kneaded the ground with worry, he didn't want the silver tortoiseshell fae to be frightened of him. He didn't want anyone frightened of him. But at Autumnkit's comment Lionkit almost wanted to shout at the smaller amber male, 'I didn't mean to scare her, when I came over here I didn't know I was going to scare her over Adderkit!' Even though his voice was just a whisper the fluffy amber kit sounded angry but he kept his voice more soft then he would've since the silver tortoiseshell female was there. When the other male spoke again Lionkit smiled softly at Deerkit, hiding his anger very well beneath his skin, 'Like I said before I never meant to scare you? Who would want to scare you anyways?' Lionkit's ochre orbs shimmered with apology for Deerkit once more, his smile still on his fluffy face.

[lonelylove :D]

petalrain ]]

Petalrain watched as Lionkit and Autumnkit tussled for a while, before they woke up Deerkit and scared the bejeezers out of her. Petalrain smiled at their innocent antics. If only all of life was that simple. She blinked her snowy white eyelids. The nursery was starting to get a little crowded. And before she knew it, Pansyblossom had come inside. Petalrain's heart fluttered when she saw her sister. She hadn't seen her in a couple of days. Of course not, She murmured softly to the red warrioress. She saved a smile for her sister as she sat down next to her and Cherrysmoke. I wonder what she wants to talk about. Sure, go ahead. Her eyes showed immense curiousity, but she waited for Pansyblossom to speak first.

^{When her mother was wordless, Pansyblossom froze but then shook herself and swallowed a lump in her throat. "I...don't want to hurt you, Mom, but I think it would be best for me to leave camp for a while. The thing with Moonkit..." She shook her head. "It really made me want to see what is it about leaving home that makes cats change. I just need to find myself. I'll be back. I promise." She smiled encouragingly to show Cherrysmoke that she wasn't leaving her mother for a stupid reason. She looked at Petalrain and licked her sister's ear. "Good luck on your pregnancy."}

[lonelylove :D]

petalrain ]]

Petalrain's lower lip trembled. Leave... she wanted to leave....? Her heart deflated. And tears began to pour down the pregnant, over-emotional queen's cheeks. After Moonkit left, you'd think the smartest thing to do would be to stick together, as a family! And now you just want to rip apart our family even more?! You're no better than Moonkit is! She let out a loud sob, and turned away from her red sister. The white femme trembled with sadness. Why does everyone leave me? And mom? How is she going to feel? She quieted her sobs, but she still cried. She needed Pansyblossom. She needed Moonkit. She had needed her father. But they all left/died, and look at her family now!

^{She was pained at the sound of her sister crying. "Petalrain, please...don't cry...," she sighed, lowering her head and staring at her ginger paws. "I need to do this. This isn't about you or Mom or Blizzardhawk or the kits or anyone else but me. It's something I need to handle." Her voice rose on the last few syllables, her eyes glaring down at the ground almost wishing it would burst into flames. "I'm tired of not getting support for the things I do. I'm tired of not being understood..." She suddenly had gone from sympathetic to angry. Pansyblossom frowned deeply.}

[SHADE. :D]

cherrysmoke

The red-brown queen smiled when Pansyblossom entered the den. She had been out of favour with her daughter for so long that it felt like a privelege to be friendly with her again. Cherrysmoke sat down beside Petalrain with a nod. "Of course not." The she-cat's insides turned cold at her daughter's first words. I don't want to hurt you... No. No. That was what Moonkit had said. Her eyes grew large as her daughter spoke. She wanted to scream at her. Why? Why now? The she-cat's face screwed up as Petalrain began to yell at her sister. She could feel Pansyblossom getting angry. "Go. Go if you must." Her voice was cold and bleak, devoid of emotion. She had no care any more. She had already lost Moonkit. Now Pansyblossom, too.

deerkit

The small kit buried her face in her fluffy forepaws. She blinked as her brother began to yell at Lionkit. "P-please don't yell at him," she mewed in a small voice. She blinked up at Lionkit with her large liquid brown eyes. "I-It's okay." The kit stared down at her paws, her tail tip still shaking with the shock of her sudden terror.

<sup>"I'll come back. I promise."

She couldn't even look at her mother. By the tone of Cherrysmoke's voice, she felt as if she was hated at this very moment. Pansyblossom began to weep and turned, leaping over the kits and running as fast as she could out of the nursery. This was such a nightmare...</sup>
