The next morning Rain was making a new nest. She was putting dried leaves and moss.
"Getting ready for the kits?" Asked Dusty.
"Yes."
"When do you think there coming ?"
"Soon." She replied "Are you feeling better?"
"Yes a lot better, thank you."
"No problem"
Dusty and rain touched noses, Rain purred with delight.
"I think the kits are coming soon, I have the feeling." Mewed Rain
"You do?"
"Yes!" she purred
"How many are there?"
"I don't know Dusty, why don't you ask?" Rain restored "But we will know soon enough"

The cats sat there and talked until,
"I THINK THE KITS ARE COMING
UH UH WHAT DO I DO ?" Yowled Rain.
"Uh, just relax we can do this."
Rains stomach rumbled.
She closed her eyes tightly...

When she opens, three little kits
Mewed at her belly.
There was one black and white tabby she~cat, One tortoise shell Tom,
And one dark brown Tom.
Dusty purred "They're Beautiful!"
"Let's name the black and white she~cat, Moon. The Dark brown tom, Mud and The tortoise shell, Oak." Meowed Rain.
"Those are great names." Mewed Dusty

The kits all mewed and started to suckle on Rains belly.
And soon fell asleep.
Rain and dusty fell asleep to.

Rain woke up to the smell of fire
She looked around. Oh no the barn is on fire.

"DUSTY!" She yowled
"What?" Meowed Dusty.
"THE BARNS IN FIRE GET THE KITS!"
"I have Oak." Yowled Rain
"Where are Mud and Moon?"
"I can't find them!" Dusty ran across the barn. " Go!"
"There they are!" He yowled
Dusty grabbed Moon and pulled her to saftey.
As he went back to grab Mud the roof
Started to cave in. A piece of wood fell from the roof in front of Dusty. Blocking his only way to Mud.
He was dead.

Dusty ran out the barn to Rain as they ran to the river and crossed the stepping stones, they saw a big willow tree. They decided to rest there for the night .
