1x1 Kess and Gohtye.

[ragemonster]

Fallownose

He nodded, resting his head on his paws and waiting for the medicine cat.

Whiteberry

"Well done," she meowed to Jackalfur and Harefoot as they jumped across the creek, followed by the apprentices.

[Kess]

Jackalfur

Jackalfur nodded. "Thank you," he said, heart pounding. He trotted after the deputy with his tail held high.

Jadepool

"We've got to go check on Fluffwhisker now, Berrypaw. Gather the necessary herbs and get a move on." Jadepool stood up and began to make her way over to her nursery, where her sister was lying beside her mate, Fallownose. "Good morning, Fluffwhisker, Fallownose," she said kindly. "How do you feel, Fluffwhisker?"

Fluffwhisker

Fluffwhisker purred in greeting as her sister, Jadepool, entered the den. "I'm feeling fine. I think the kits are, too. I can feel them, moving around in my belly."

Berrypaw

Berrypaw nodded to her mentor and gathered the herbs for Fluffwhisker. Though the kits weren't born yet, Fluffwhisker was being given borage and honey to help her milk come. As she picked up the honeycomb and the chewed-up borage and walked to the den, her whiskers twitched in excitement. This would be her first time helping a cat give birth, and she couldn't be more excited.

[ragemonster]

((How many kits do you think she'll have? We'll have to think up names.))

Fallownose

Fallownose dipped his head to the two she-cats, gave Fluffwhisker a comforting nudge with his cheek, and stood up to make room for them to examine her. He moved to stand a little ways off to the side so that he could still watch what they were doing and keep out of the way at the same time.

[Kess]

((Only Jadepool knows how many! I'll make it an even number, and you can come up with half and I'll come up with half.))

Jadepool

Jadepool put her paw on Fluffwhisker's belly. It felt even and normal. Then she lay her ear against it and listened for the tiny kits' heartbeats. One...two...three...four...five...six?! Jadepool glanced at Fallownose, alarmed. "She's going to have six kittens!" she meowed.

Fluffwhisker

Fluffwhisker smiled sleepily. Six kits! All the more joy!

((I'm not sure if cats can have six kits but meh, it's an RP.))

[ragemonster]

((Oh they can. Usual litter size is between 1-5, sometimes 6 or 7. Record litter size was 19, I believe. Only 15 kits lived though. :<))

Fallownose

The tom grew very still. Six. Kits. Mixed emotions crashed their way through him; fear for his mate, fear for his unborn kits, joy at the prospect of soon becoming a father, joy that Fluffwhisker seemed overjoyed, and then back to fear. What if she died in the process? What if they lost some of the kits? All of them? What if she didn't have enough milk to feed them? He knew that Berrypaw and Jadepool were giving her borage and honey to help her produce milk, six kits would need a lot of feeding. Abruptly he grew light-headed, eyes rolling back just a bit as he slammed back into present thinking. In a slightly slurred voice, he murmured to Jadepool, so quietly that Fluffwhisker couldn't hear, "Will she and the kits... will they be all right?"

Whiteberry

"No problem," the she-cat responded, trailing after Harefoot. They were approaching owl tree, where many cats have reported seeing a massive owl that nested in the hollow part at the top; thus, the name owl tree fits it. They turned right, heading for the ShadowClan border as Sandpelt had said they would. Even from this distance, she could detect the barest stench of the thunderpath and hear the faint sounds of the monsters running along the stretch of black rock. Her pink nose wrinkled as she pictured the shiny, varied-colored pelts of the things and their black paws churning up the oily, stinky ground as they sped this way and that.

[Kess]

Jadepool

Jadepool glanced anxiously at her sister. "Let's go outside while Berrypaw examines her." She slipped outside and faced the tom. "Fallownose, Please hush while I explain this. There's a pretty good chance Fluffwhisker might die." She took a deep breath and continued, "Berrypaw and I will so what is absolutely neccesary for her, but if she or one of the kits goes to StarClan, we can't help her. But Berrypaw and I are quite experienced and you can be certain we'll take food care of her."

[ragemonster]

Fallownose

As Fallownose was led outside, he cast an anxious glance back at Fluffwhisker before Jadepool spoke. "Fallownose, Please hush while I explain this. There's a pretty good chance Fluffwhisker might die. Berrypaw and I will so what is absolutely necessary for her, but if she or one of the kits goes to StarClan, we can't help her. But Berrypaw and I are quite experienced and you can be certain we'll take good care of her." Fallownose cleared his throat as a tight feeling crept up the back of it, restricting his speech like a mouse was caught in his throat. "Just... take care of her. And I want to be there when it happens. When will she have them?" he inquired.

[Kess]

Jadepool

"My best guess is within a few sunrises," Jadepool meowed. "Until then I'd like you to stay in her den at night just in case she has pains in the middle of the night."

[ragemonster]

Fallownose

The tom nodded stiffly. "Thank you, Jadepool," he meowed politely before nosing his way back into the nursery. He'd stay here with her as long as he could; warrior duties would have to be completed, but he'd spend his spare time here.

[Kess]

((ooh need to make a crap post sorry!))

Jadepool dipped her head and trotted back to the medicine den.
