Starlingcry
I paced around for hours, on empty
I jumped at the slightest of sounds

She felt exhausted her breathing was troubled but her mother told her it was all normal. She was advised by the older warrior-queen to build a nest further in the nursery, where it was darker. The expectant mother had done just that taking quite a bit of moss for herself. It had become a waiting game for Starlingcry. She was both nervous and excited for the new addition to NightClan, hopeful for their futures.

It wasn't until mid-day that the she-cat felt a strange sensation and called for her mother, Starlingcry had been the only queen in the nursery for some time. There was a panic in her voice but her mother remained calm.

Nudging her daughter to relax into the nest, Gracklefire left the darkened sanctuary and sought out the medicine cat.

"Smokefur, Starlingcry is going into labour," The black she-cat said, looking into the medicine cat den and waiting for the assistances of said she-cat. For a moment Gracklefire was tempted to seek out Dimstar to tell him aswell, but she had a sense of duty to stay and help her daughter, Dimstar would know when all his kits were safely in the world.

    Nightclan's medicine cat was sorting herbs when she heard that Starlingcry had gone into labor, Smokefur had been expecting this to happen any day. Dropping her prior task and quickly putting together a bundle for Starlingcry she answered Gracklefire calmly "I'll be right there." This wasn't Smokefur's first kitting, and she hoped it wouldn't be her last. The seasoned medicine cat said a silent prayer to starclan as she departed from her den with complications during kitting being so common, however she desperately hoped there were none today. Nightclan needed a win after their harsh leafbare and new kits always raised cat's spirits, the fact that they were Dimstar's kits only served to make it an even greater occasion. Smokefur made a b-line for the nursery, Dimstar would find his way over or he wouldn't and Starlingcry deserved her full attention. Entering the den Smokefur quickly identified said she-cat laying in the darkest corner of the nursery and quickly moved to intercept her. "How are you feeling Starlingcry?" Smokefur asked after setting down her bundle.

Starlingcry's focused on the silver and black she-cat that was the Clan's healer. A sort of panting noise was coming from the mother-to-be as she did her best not to overwhelm herself. Starlingcry was new to such a pain, it hurt more than a scratch or even a deep bite. She wished that her kits would come without trouble, she wanted nothing more than to see the future of NightClan in her nest.

The grandmother-to-be was going to be her support line until Dimstar could join them. Maneuvering herself so she could be within eyesight of her daughter, she tried to purr and remain calming. Gracklefire had birthed fives kits and knew what her daughter was going to experience. She

"I'm okay, just really uncomfortable," She replied before letting out a soft yowling noise. It was then the first sensation of a contraction forced her eyes to shut tight. Gracklefire disliked seeing her daughter in such pain, but knew it was apart of motherhood.
