     Silverkit ran over and looked at the kitting shecat.

     "What happened to her?" Bonekit said.

     "She's having kits. Get back to the worm." Snowsoar said. The five kits scampered and Silverkit continued playing with the worm. Silverkit looked at Bluekit.

     "Can you please say something to me?" Silverkit asked sadly. Bluekit shook his head and looked at Silverkit.

     "Do you think he's..." Bonekit said, then gasped in horror.

     "No! He isn't mute! Er... is he?" Winterkit said, looking at Bluekit.

     Bluekit gazed between the wide eyed kits.

     No I'm not... he thought.

     "He might be," Fawnkit exclaimed.

     No

     "I think he is. That'll be hard when he becomes a warrior." Bonekit sighed

     I am not a mute, mousebrain! Im going to be just as good as warrior as Echostorm! Bluekit thought angrily. He watched as Silverkit pounced on the worm and leapt away shaking her paw in disgust.

     "You have a little tom." The small black shecat purred as she put the small newborn by the white shecats belly.

     "Can you get Scarspeckle?" Frostleap asked quietly. Snowsoar nodded and padded out to get the tom.

     "Scarspeckle, your mate needs you." Snowsoar said as she padded to the tom.

      "Really? Is she done kitting?" the tom asked.

~#~

     "Bluekit, can you please talk to me?" Fawnkit said sadly, facing the shecat. "I want another friend..." Fawnkit folded her ears back and her fluffy tail lied in the dirt.

     Should i?... Just one word... Bluekit thought.

     "Hi..." Bluekit said quietly.

~#~

"Yes," Snowsoar mewed. The tom nodded and ran off to the Medicine cat den to go to his mate.

~#~

     "You talked!" Fawnkit screetched. Bluekit sighed and bowed his head in embarressment as cats looked over curiously. Fawnkit looked at Bluekit expectantly but he shook his head. Fawnkit sighed and padded off leaving Bluekit alone with his thoughts.

     "That isn't anything to be ashamed of, Bluekit..." Winterkit mewed.

     Bluekit sighed. "I know..." he said quietly.

     "Just keep talking. You'll get used to it..." Winterkit sighed and padded away.

     Bluekit sighed again. I don't think I'm talking again.

     Snowsoar left the new queen and her family be and padded out with Echostorm. She sighed and trotted off towards Hollowthorn. The tom greeted her happily and licked her head.

     "Hey beautiful," he purred.

     "Hello," she purred.

     Hollowthorn sat up and walked inside the nursery to his kits, followed by Snowsoar.

     Bluekit and Winterkit were playing with Bonekit, Fawnkit, and Silverkit, playing Thunderclan and Skyclan.

     Snowsoar smiled, watching the five kits play together.

     Thistlestar walked into the nursery and looked at the kits.

     "So these are my future warriors?" Thistlestar said, looking at Silverkit.

     Echostorm chuckled, "Maybe. Depends on what happens or what they want."

     "Right," Thistlestar smiled at the kits.
