Lastsong dipped his head in response to Honeyfrost's words. This was the best part of his job--bringing new lives into the Clan. He looked down at the kits and felt his heart warm and expand to fill his chest.
"They're so beautiful," he meowed softly. That familiar pang wrenched at his heart, but he would not let it show on his face.

Lightkit felt her brother's body press against hers. She let out a startled mew and rolled onto her side. Using her small paws, she kneaded at her brother's back, making soft mewling noises as she fought for space. After a few moments she gave up though and began to climb onto Adderkit.

News of the brand new kits had spread like a wildfire. Everyone was talking about it, but nobody dared to go into the medicine cat den. However, Sageflower wanted to see her best friend's kits. And she was going to see them. She made her way to the nursery and could hear the purring and mewing along with the scent of milk.
Sageflower walked into the den and looked at her best friend and her kits, and then dipped her head to Lastsong. She purred, but didn't say anything and didn't go too close. She just drank in the sight of the four tiny kits. They were beautiful.
Finally, she whispered "What are their names?"

Honeyfrost looked up at her friend with exhaustion covering her face, but she was happy to see her friend there. She wanted to tell her how miserable giving birth was, but she'd save that for another time. She smiled sleepily and said. "Lightkit, Redkit, Lilykit, and Adderkit" and there was so much pride in her voice.

Lastsong glanced at Sageflower and frowned slightly. Honeyfrost was, naturally, exhausted after the birth. She really should not be having any visitors. But he said nothing, hoping that Sageflower would understand that Honeyfrost needed rest and would leave her in peace soon. The medicine cat brought the damp moss over to Honeyfrost so that she could have a drink of water and he set it gently beside her. Then the tom looked at the kits again with a gentle smile.

All this news about the new kittens made Brindlekit jumpy. She could feel her heart almost pound out of her chest. The little ones were probably the cutest things in the world. Brindlekit shook her head. "No," she told herself. "I'm the cutest kitten, or at least I was." Brindlekit shook her big head yet again.
"I should find Reedkit and go in there with him...but then again, Reedkit can be annoying." She decided to pop into the medicine cat den for a short while, and so she did. Brindlekit sluk into the crowded room, careful not to get the attention of the two grown cats in it.

Reedkit sensed Brindlekit in the area, and twitched his whiskers. "Hey, Brindlekit, I have been looking for ya!" He giggled, and shouldered his way in the nursery. He sat down next to Brindlekit, and gasped. "The kits... their here!" Reedkit's fur prickled, and exitement filled his gaze. "That means more playmates!" Unable to see that they were too young, Reedkit thought always about the good things, but of course, never what those 'Good things' would cause in the future.

Brindlekit laughed softly and stared over at the kittens. "They look small, though..." she whined. "Too small for me." The large cat felt her tail flickered with anxiety. She wanted to play with the new kittens so badly. "So, did you hear what they named them yet?"

Reedkit shooked his head, and shrugged. "I don't listen to that stuff, their kits, dun matter to me what their names are." He sighed, and looked over at the bundle of kittens, and licked his paws. "I wish they can be the same age as us.. so we can play with them." The kit jumped up, and nudged his way a little closer, trying not to disturb the kits.

Brindlekit inched closer with Reedkit, and it was a bit harder for her to be quiet or not to disturb the newborns. "Yeah, but it is better to be our age!" she whispered excitedly. "We get to be apprentices soon. They have to wait a little longer." Her chest puffed out in pride. "See, they don't even have their eyes open. Apprentices can see things."

Reedkit curtly nodded, and breathed slowly. "Can't wait to be 6 moons!" He squeaked, and slunk a little closer, and sat down, trying to get a nice glance on the new set of kits. Reedkit's eyes gleamed towards Brindlekit, and he smiled, his cheeks getting puffy. "Can't wait!"

"Me neither, brother!" she squeaked. "I'll get the best warrior as my mentor! Maybe even Blackstar." Her tail lashed about excitedly and her whiskers were everywhere. She lowered herself to the ground and wiggled her rump. She could already hear her new name, Brindlepaw, and before she knew it, she would probably be a warrior.

Reedkit trailed off, and muttered something under his breath. "I can't wait to hear my warrior name being called out! You and me will be the greatest warriors!" He yowled, and pawed a leaf on the ground.

Lastsong glanced over at the two kits who had snuck into the medicine den. He said nothing, but watched them closely. Young cats could mean trouble around newborn kits. Lastsong shuffled his body closer to them, putting himself partly in between them and Honeyfrost's kits. His ears twitched at their whispering, but then Reedkit began yowling and the medicine cat's ears flicked back in disapproval.
"Reedkit, Brindlekit, if you can't behave then go back to the nursery," Lastsong hissed, his eyes narrowed. He understood the kits' curiosity, but it would not do for them to disturb the younger kits. Or Honeyfrost, for that matter. The queen was tired, and all this noise was not good for her. She needed rest.

Brindlekit nodded in agreement. "Of course we will!" she shouted. She bit her tongue, realizing she was just a bit too loud. Her head lowered and she hoped the warriors didn't hear her. "What do you think your warrior name will be?" she whispered excitedly. Her fur was on its ends. then she heard Lastsong's voice.
"Sorry!" she meowed is a hushed voice. Her ears straightened up. "Hey, Lastsong, what are the kittens' names?"
