Warriors Flames Burning, Tiger Rising book two

Chapter Four

Stonefeather raced through the trees, he had medicine herbs in his mouth. His pads bleed from running on rocks, but Stonefeather's pads didn't concern him. As he approached Broken Trees, he took in a deep breath. He saw a black cat waiting for him, she was on the ground panting. Stonefeather gasped, and ran towards her.
"Nightwing! Are you ok?!" Stonefeather reached the she-cat, and spat out his herbs. "No, yes, I think it's time" Nightwing meowed, and then yowled in pain. "Stomach pains?" Stonefeather asked, Nightwing nodded, sweat soaking her fur.
Stonefeather prodded her belly with his paws, "three kits are coming sweetie". Nightwing smiled in response.
"First kit is coming, deep breaths Nightwing" Stonefeather only thought of his confidence. Slowly, the first kit slid  out, it was white and black. Stonefeather opened the breathing sac, and put it at a suckle. "She-cat, good job!" Stonefeather meow was soothing and quiet. Nightwing nodded, her eyes shining with love.
"Second kit coming, your half way done" Stonefeather whispered to his mate. The second slid out, it was a black tom. Stonefeather opened up the breathing sac, and once again put it at a suckle. "Tom, looks just like you!" Stonefeather licked Nigtwing's cheek, and smiled. Nightwing grinned, and muzzled her mate.
"Third kit coming! Almost done!" Stonefeather was jumping up and down inside, all the kits looked healthy. Finally, the third kit slid out, it was grey tom. Stonefeather opened the breathing sac for the last time, and put a kit at a suckle for the last time.
"WE DID IT!" Stonefeather yowled with joy. "Shhh, the kits" Nightwing giggled at her mate's clumsiness. He nodded in embarrassment. "Come over here, we need to name them!" Nightwing whispered excitedly. Stonefeather rushed to his mate's side, and laid down next to her.
"The she-cat should be Breezekit!" Nightwing meowed, "You go next". "The gray one should be, Pigeonkit!" Stonefeather meowed, "one more left, you name him". "Of course, I think his name should be Crowkit" Nightwing meowed, Stonefeather nodded in agreement.
The sky turned pink and red, as if the two cats' love for each other was meant to be.
