A cold breeze rushed through Plantclan territory. Warriors were in their den sharing tongues. Apprentices were training with their mentors. However, Hollypelt was not having a good time. She was giving birth to her kits in the nursery den.
"Push! Just a little more now," Mouseclaw, the queen, urged Hollypelt. The medicine cat, Littleclaw, was also here to help her. A plentiful supply of cobwebs was laid beside her if Hollypelt could not stop bleeding. Hollypelt's mate, Grassclaw, was also there to encourage her.
"Come on," Grassclaw cooed Hollypelt. Hollypelt took in a deep breathe and pushed as hard as she can. Unexpectedly, a kit's head came out.
"Oh Starclan! The head is coming out!" Grassclaw exclaimed loudly when he saw the kit's little hairless head. Mouseclaw and Littleclaw moved closer to Hollypelt and licked her head. "Just a little more," Mouseclaw mewed.
With a huge push, the kit finally come out. It landed on the soft and dry moss, a small bundle of fur. Littleclaw quickly held the grey-coloured kit up and said, "It's a she-cat!" Grassclaw smiled in delight.
Within another minute, another kit was born. Mouseclaw licked it dry and mewed,"It's another she-cat."
"Oh! She is so cute!" Grassclaw mewed in delight and his eyes glittered in excitement. Littleclaw nodded in agreement.
"Wait! Another one is going to come out! Hollypelt struggled to shout painfully. The three cats immediately rush towards her and licked her for comfort.
There was a ripple through Hollypelt's belly and finally, the third kit came out-hairless and blind. Hollypelt breathed in deep breaths and she relaxed. Grassclaw went to check on the kit. It was another she-cat.
"Not another she-cat," Grassclaw muttered under his breath. "Why couldn't it be a tom?"
"What in Starclan's name! Hollypelt! There is another one coming out! Push!" Littleclaw suddenly shouted. Shocked, Hollypelt began to push harder. Sweat rolled down from her nose. She was exhausted after giving birth to three kits. All her energy were almost used up. Using one last breath, the kit finally came out- a tom. Grassclaw whopped in delight.
"A tom! A tom!" Hollypelt could hear him shout.
"Rest now, Hollypelt. You need to rest," Mouseclaw mewed. Hollypelt breathed in a deep breath as Littleclaw put cobwebs on her. Suddenly, everything became blurrier and blurrier until it went black.
Hollypelt's eyes flicked open. Grassclaw was next to her. So was the clan's leader, Greenstar.
"Congratulations Hollypelt," Greenstar mewed. "You are the first queen and Grassclaw is the first deputy to have four kits at once. Upon hearing this, Hollypelt smiled at Grassclaw and he smiled back at her.
"It's time dear. It's time to name our kits," Grassclaw mewed. Hollypelt nodded.
"That brown tom over there," Hollypelt said. "His pelt is so brown. I'll name it Brownkit." Grassclaw and Greenstar nodded their heads in agreement.
"I'll name the next two kits then," Grassclaw replied. "That brown she-cat over there will be Blossomkit."
"And that yellow kit will be Petalkit as those pink eyes remind me of petals."
"Look at that grey kit sleeping over there," Hollypelt mewed. "There is a green patch on her tail. I'll name it... Leafkit."
