"Hey, I have some news for you but we got to wait until Night or one of the other ones to get back. I do not want to leave the kits alone." Shadow whispered to the dark brown tom once all the kits scurried away. She stayed next to the tom not bothering to get up.
"Why can't you tell me right now? The kits are far enough away that they won't hear anything." The tom whispered and licked her forehead as they laid there in peace.
"Fine. Are you sure you want to know what this is?" She asked him with a smile. It was really important she knew he would love it.
"Can you please just tell me already? I really, really, really, really want to know." Mud whined playfully as he put his paw on her nose.
"Fine. I found out last night from the stars that-" the dark grey female paused for anticipation, "I am pregnant and there are five kits!" She purred waiting for the tom's reaction.
"Wait, really? You aren't pulling my leg here now, are you?" He asked cautiously. She shook her head.
"No, I'm not. I really am pregnant. They are due in about a moon I believe. I can't wait to see them." Shadow purred looking at him.
"I can't believe it! I'm going to be a father! I can't wait to see our kits. I wonder what we could name them!" Mud purred getting up from his spot and rolling in the snow so he looked like a brown cat with white spots. Shadow giggled at the silliness of her mate and sat up.
"I don't know. I wonder what they would look like. Would they have your eyes or mine? Would they have your fur, mine, or a mix?" The shecat laughed happily as she rolled in the cold snow as well.
"Hm, well if one looked like me, I would want to name him Tiger. If one looked like you, I would name him Silver." Mud said thinking off the top of his head.
"Shadow? Mud? Are you there?" A small voice asked. The two got up and saw Pebble and Muddle coming back.
"Yes, we are here. The kits have been playing in the snow and I taught them how to play moss ball." Shadow said as she looked at the two females as they entered the camp.
"That's nice of you. Thank you for looking after the kits all day. I'm sure they were a handful as usual." Muddle purred as she made her way to the nursery.
"They always are, but that is what makes it all the better. I just joined in the fun sometimes. I think Smokey is really attached to me as well. She was always by my side." The dark grey female laughed as she saw the small kit come out of the nursery and run back over to her.
"That's good. I'm glad she likes you." Muddle said before heading in the den to sleep.
