The night was cold, the kit could feel it. Her mother, LavenderClaw, sat in the nursery and looked at the kit, "Sparrowkit" she said as she licked the kit clean. Sparrowkit saw her birthmate, he sucked on her mother's teat. She scooted closer and began to suck as well, her mother's warm milk as sweet as catmint.

"Knightfoot dear, could you hand me the borage leaves," she asked softly. Her mate collected the herbs and handed them to the exhausted she cat. LavenderClaw ate them and melted into a deep sleep. The medicine cat, Mintyleaf, padded into the den with other herbs in her mouth. "Knightfoot, I'm going to have to ask you to leave, LavenderClaw must rest." He nodded in acceptance and left the medicine den quietly.

Three weeks later the kit woke up from her nap filled with exciting dreams. She could hear the silent pawsteps of Reedclan apprentices getting ready for their training. Sparrowkit heard one cat mew, " I heard LavenderClaw had her kits." She also heard the muffled voices of other queens in the next room. The kit shuffled towards her mother but she was not there. She was confused ' Where is my mum' she thought 'I'm so hungry'. She had bumped into her brother during her struggle to find her mother. She mewed anxiously then she heard her mother's soft voice, "There There mummy is here." Hearing her mother made her eager to get to her mother's teat first. Sparrowkit was thankful her mother came back she thought her mother had abandoned her. When she finally got to her mother she again tasted the sweet liquid that she was sucking from LavenderClaw's belly. She knew she was safe she kneaded her mother's belly and drifted off into a dreamless slumber.
