Rosestar's Loyalty - A LGBTQ Warrior Cats Fanfiction ;3

Chapter 8

Today was the day.

Patchfrost was having her kits. Rosefire and Fergus where in the nursery with her. Rosefire looked nervously at her. His sister moaned, and her eyes shot open, so Rosefire could see the whites in them. "Oww!" She growled, as a small white sac slid into the nursery. Fergus licked it open and a small black-and-white tom-kit tumbled out. "You have a son." Fergus said, placing the kit by his mother's belly. Rosefire felt a liquid on his paw and called to Fergus. "Hey, uh. Does this happen often?" Fergus ran over. Patchfrost was bleeding. Two more sacs came out, a ginger tom-kit and a tortoiseshell she-kit. Patchfrost's eyes began to close, and she moaned again. "She's dying!" Rosefire panicked. Fergus glared at him. "I know, I know! I'm working on it!"

Patchfrost gazed up at Rosefire. "Take care of my kits..." She said, the color draining from her eyes. "I'm going to see Kestrelfern in StarClan."

"No!" Rosefire cried. "No Patchfrost! You can't leave me! Please!" But she had already been taken by StarClan. Rosefire let out a cry and buried his face in Patchfrost's neck. Another cat had come in. Swanwhisker nuzzled her only daughter. "I hope you find swift running and endless hunting where you rest." She meowed.

Alderstripe walked in. "Rosefire?" He asked. "Rosefire! What happened?" Rosefire looked up and told him.

"Oh no." Alderstripe sighed. "These kits won't know who their father or mother is."

"Unless..."

Rosefire and Alderstripe looked up to see Fergus sitting across from them. "Rosefire, the first time you met me, you said that you wanted to have kits of your own. Is that still true?"

Rosefire nodded.

"Why don't you take care of Patchfrost's kits? They are your kin."

Rosefire blinked. "They need milk!" He meowed. "How are Alderstripe and I going to give them that! We aren't she-cats!"

"Perhaps, one of the other queens could take care of them, and each night you could take turns sleeping with them."

"I think that sounds like a good idea." Swanwhisker purred. "I would take care of them, but I'm getting old and all my milk is dried up anyway. I might as well be moving to the elders' den."

Rosefire thought for a minute. "I guess. If Alderstripe agrees." He looked over at his mate, who nodded. "I'd love to have kits of my own. We could ask Frostflight if she could nurse them. She is expecting Featherclaw's kits."

"I can ask her." Fergus meowed. "Let's just hope she says yes."

"What are you going to name them?" Swanwhisker asked.

"I hadn't really thought about that." Rosefire said. "But, uhh... The oldest tom will be called Patchkit, after his mother, the second tom will be named Birdkit, and the she-kit...Sweetkit."
