Painfully Frostbite set patchkit down who settled down in seconds sucking the milk again. Closing her eyes Frostbite didnt really feel like talking or deciding anything right now. She opened her eyes and just looked at the kits. Being torn between her job and children was a very hard decision. Her whole body ached and she was still shocked she was standing. Trying to hold back the tears she bent down to lick the kits one last time.. and mewed, "They will be beautiful kits Snowberry. Congratulations." with that she turned around and padded out of the den to let other cats come by and look at the newly born kits.. Snowberry had given. |

Snowberry looked up with pained eyes. Taking a kit away from a mother was like death in her eyes. She wouldn't know what to do if Hazelkit every went missing. She snorted when cats cogratulated her and Skystar. She wasn't even his mate. She didn't want to sound offensive but she didn't particularly like the tom. She didn't get the right vibe."Thank you for your compliments...." the gray and white she-cat mewed looking at Frostbite with soft eyes.
Skystar flinched when the she-cat congratulated Snowberry on her new born litter of 5. Skystar watched her with pained eyes. He wanted to scream out that he loved the she-cat but this was not the time or place to do it. Skystar saw a line of warriors flooding outside of the den. Skystar grumbled before giving each of kits a few licks before touching Snowberry with his tail. He followed Frostbite out of the den while warriors gave him congratulatory mews."Frostbite....do you wish to be left alone?"

Frostbite didnt even respond. She was exhaused already and wished she could sleep sadly she couldnt. She still had much to do. If a battle was going to happen she had to get all of the herbs she could to help cats with broken bones or badly opened wounds and more. She padded into her den not seeing her apprentice. She didnt care. It was finally a good thing he wasnt around now. She didnt feel like putting up with him at the moment.
The frost white medicine cat padded slowly over to her herbs and sat down. She just staired at the herbs lying on the ground. This was her job. Not being a mother. She couldnt even give them milk! They would have died if she tried to mother them for another day. She knew that. Letting out a slow breath she closed her eyes and opened them again. She looked out of her den and saw cats swarming the nursery. A tear fell from her eye and she knew those 5 kits would grow up healthy and strong now.
Of course she would have to check on them again to make sure they were doing okay. She would have to do so until they could open their eyes. Yet seeing them was like watching someone you loved die right infront of you. Snowberry would be getting all of the compliments and Frostbite would have to sit there and take it. Couldnt say one word about them. Letting out a big yawn she realized she hadnt slept in over three days. Let alone ate, but she wasnt in the mood for food. She lost her appitite when it came to saying goodbye to her sons and daughters.
Looking back at her herbs she pushed them away and sighed. Her ears lied flat against her head and she really didnt want visitors right now unless they were in serious trouble. She couldnt bare to look out of the den again. She turned her body having her back face the den eterence but she couldnt block out the purrs and joys she heard about the kits from the clan members. |

Skystar followed her quickly. He watched the she-cat push her herbs away. He tilted his head to the side and pulled his ears back in sorrow. He would get to know his kits as dad. She would just get to know her kits as Frostbite. He parted his jaws to speak but he knew he wasn't welcomed. She walked away without even answering him which was honestly unlike her. For some reason the two had a bond since he decided to be snarky right back to her. The gray tom inched to the den entrance before deciding to pad in.
He watched the tear fall before wrapping his tail around the she-cat comfortingly. The time for words weren't at this point time. He pressed his gray fur to warm the she-cat who would be weak from the lack of food and sleep. He looked to the roof of the den. Would StarClan punish them? No...they wouldn't."This is my fault Frostbite.....I....I'm sorry...." the tom mewed. He took in a large breath and let it out in a sigh.
He removed his tail from the she-cats shoulders and turned around. His tail was between his hind legs and dragged across the dirt floor."I love you Frostbite..." the tom mewed for the very first time before leaving her den and sitting outside looking at the stars.

Shockingly she couldnt feel anything skystar did to her. Numb. That word sumed her up in seconds. The pain of in a way losing her kits made it hard to feel anything else. She could tell he was there but the touches he gave her.. she wished they meant something at the moment. Yet what was there to say? She heard the words I love you and slowly looked back and watched him leave. Her heart dropped to her stomach and she wanted to wail like a kit and just break down crying for as long as she could. That wasnt her. Tomorrow was going to be a new day but she would still be in the same den, with the same name, same rank in the clan, known as the nasty medicine cat who could come up with an insult faster then a windclan cat jumping a rabbit.
Skystar. Title Father. A proud father. That much was true.. He didnt have to lie to the clan about that. He could flaunt the news around to Shadowclan if he wanted. He wouldnt be lying to anyone. The kits would call Snowberry mother. That word was going to break her heart in seconds once she heard that. Those wer her kits, would she act differently around them? Or treat them like every other cat in this clan? Did she have a choice? Not at all. Skystar was able to be true. While Frostbite had to live the normal medicine cat life.
She padded to the enternce of her den and watched her leader look up at the sky. She moved her eyes up to the sky also but not her head. She wanted to feel his pelt up against hers but showing any affection to him would have the clan asking questions. "If I were you I would get some sleep. You have a very big day tomorrow doing patrols, visiting your kits, even naming them. Think of any names for them yet or you just going to call them kit one two three four and five?" |

Skystar blinked away tears as his mate came out to join him. He swung is tail back and forth as if he were sweeping his clan of all the bad things. He wanted StarClan to give him a sign that things would be alright for his clan but things were silent. As usual. The tom just shook his head. He felt Frostbites presence but didn't say anything. His head hung low and his eyes closed for more than a moment. He listed to her words and then swung his head to look at her.
"Brookkit,Stormkit,Patchkit, and Snowkit." The tom mewed. His eyes were still closed as spoke."I don't plan on changing the names that WE picked TOGETHER." the tom mewed. Frostbite...they will call you mom...they will know one day....they have too. I can't stand Snowberry and everyone knows that....at least they did know that...." The tom mewed.

The medicine cat didnt flinch when her leader whiped around and looked at her and spoke. She stood her ground. Raising an eyebrow she looked at her leader and rolled her eyes. Her as mother? Yeah they will end up knowing when she dies if that ever happened. "They will know when I'm dead.." she growled. "My duty to the clan is more important we both know that, I couldnt have just left Sagepaw to fend for himself if I stayed in that nursery for a good three moons of my life. I never had the heart to be a mother. Couldnt do it." She looked at her leader with hard eyes and mewed, "Thank starclan we have a nursing queen in this clan! If we didnt we both know we would have to send them away then that would actually make things a lot better, I wouldnt have to feel the pain of seeing my kits every day and knowing I cant tell them I love them and I get to be stuck in a den of herbs while they get to explore the world and know what its like to be a apprentice and warrior and I get to just stay back and be the nasty cat I always was.." |
