Wolf haze woke up and rolled into her back, stretching out. She curled back up in pain and started moaning. She called for Crystalpool who came rushing in.
"Wolfhaze, you are okay. You're just kitting." The medicine cat soothed. She darted back out and came again, this time with a large bundle of herbs.
"Can't you give me any to help...?" Wolfhaze asked shakily. Her nest was warm but she didn't notice it, given the pain she was in. The cooler leaf-fall air helped with cooling her down.
"No, you are on your own for now until all the kits are out." Crystalpool said in a gentle voice.
Wolfhaze groaned. Soon a kit was born into the world. She watched as the medicine cat nipped at the clear sac. "It's a tom!" Crystalpool's eyes shone with excitement. This is the first kitting she has done since the old medicine cat, Furryfoot, went to StarClan.
Next came a gray she kit and then another silver she kit.
Wolfhaze shut her eyes after everything was over. The three tiny kits suckled at her side.
A shadow laid over her as her mate, Rippletalon, who is also the RiverClan deputy, padded in.
"Wolfhaze. They are so beautiful." Rippletalon smiled at her and licked her cheek. "I'm just glad that we are all healthy, thank StarClan."
"I know. Now we need names." Wolfhaze purred back up at him.
"Uh, Pebblekit for the silver she kit." Rippletalon said and licked his daughter.
"Yes! That's great! How about Graykit for the other she kit." Wolfhaze nodded.
"Now, what shall we name the gray tom?" Rippletalon meowed.
"Minnowkit..." Both parents said in unison.
