   "Hurry, Hazelstrike! Grassleap is kitting!" 

    Sunnyheap yowled out of the nursery as Hazelstrike rushed into the nursery with herbs in his mouth and Dapplestep racing at his heals.   When he reached the nursery he sat down the herbs next to Grassleap and meowed to her, "Breath. Breath Grassleap. It's going to be okay." 

   The Clan started to gather outside the nursery as the sounds of kitting begun.

Grassleap looked at her gathered kits with happiness and exhaustion shining in her ginger eyes. 

"Thank you Hazelstrike, you were a savior to me and my kits..." Meowed the queen to the medicine cat.

Hazelstrike dipped his head, "I couldn't have done it without Dapplestep's help." 

Dapplestep blushed a little at her mentor's words.

  Grassleap bent down her head and licked her kits vigorously and then she put them near her belly and let them suckle.

Dapplestep stared at the three kits and then meowed to Grassleap, "They are three lovely kits! I just hope...." 

    Dapplestep fades off and then shakes her head.

"Don't mess with them, their very young." Sunnyheap warned her kits as Tinykit and Mushkit rush over to Grassleap and peeked over her tail.

Mushkit purred, "They are so beautiful! Did we look this cute when we were young?" They ask as they turn back to there mother.

     Sunnyheap mews, "Yes. But in my opinion you looked much cuter."

  Grassleap smiles at her kits again and then more cats come into the nursery and congratulate Grassleap on her three beautiful children.  Grassleap noticed Dustfoot stare at the kits in an suspecting look and Grassleap pushes her kits closer with her tail.  She thinks, there already suspecting my kits! It's not there falt there father was evil!

  Grassleap was thinking of names for her kits.  There was a sand-looking she-kit, a brown tabby tom, and a dusty gray tom.  She thought, the sand-looking one should be Sandkit, the brown tabby tom should be Dawnkit, and the dusty gray tom should be Ashkit!

   She blurted out the names she thought for her three lovely kits and Hazelstrike and Dapplestep nodded, saying they thought the names were swell.  

 As her kits suckled Grassleap lied her head down on her paws and drifted off into a deep sleep..
