Silverfeatehr glanced back, then looked at the she-cat. "Ok, when you feel another spasm coming, you need to push to help the kit out. Spiderfur, go get me some wet moss and a thick stick for Spiritshadow to bite."

Spiderfur nodded, then dashed off to go get the items.
Harlequinpelt ran into Shadowtooth's den, a smirk on his face. "Shadowtooth." The old she-cat looked up from her nest. "What?" "Spiritshadow's giving birth." "I know." She laid her head down on her paws. "I'll be punishing her later." Harlequinpelt hated himself for what he was about to give away, but he knew it would be found out anyways. "The father's Spiderfur."
Shadowtooth sprang up, alarmed. "How dare he!" She paced around the den. "He knows... he knows, yet he did it anyway! HE KNEW!" "Knew what?" Shadowtooth leaned towards Harlequinpelt. "I wanted to be his mate when he joined MBC. I became his friend to try and hint that I had feelings for him, then just when I was going to ask him to be my mate, he went and hooked up with that Spiritshadow shit! They broke up just before I became leader, but... but they must have gotten back together again and... Oh, dear Scourge!" She fell down, sniffling. "Make sure those kits are here within 2 hours. I want to kill them! I'm going to kill them, that should be their punishment!"
Harlequinpelt's spine went cold. He nodded and rushed out to go to his den, sick to his stomach. He just ruined his friend's life.

Silverfeather held a paw to her belly. "There's at least two, I think."

Spiderfur came back and laid the stick near Spiritshadow's head so she could pick it up, then set the wet moss down near Silverfeather. "Will she be alright?"
Spiritshadow felt another spasm, so she began to push. It felt like hell. She wailed low and long, gnawing on the stick.

Silverfeather mewed quietly, "I think so, yes." She dripped the water fro the moss into Spiritshadow's mouth and stroked her back gently with her tailtip.

The first kit slid out. Spiritshadow tried to sit up to look, but was forced down by another spasm. She continued to push, screeching like mad. Spiderfur cringed at his mate's pain, but started to lick at the newborn kit to warm it up. He knew that much about kit-birth, anyways.
Scarletpaw could hear the screeches all the way from camp. She was having trouble sleeping, so she decided to sneak into the SHP and try to get a glimpse.

"Lick away the sac and lick its fur backwards. When it's dry and breathing put it by her belly. Nursing helps birth."

Spiderfur followed Silverfeathers directions, licking the kit until it was dry and mewing and placing it at Spiritshadow's belly. He watched it nurse, grinning. He was a father now. But it wasn't over yet.
Spiritshadow pushed out a second kit. The pain was easing, but it was still horrid. She began to go through a third spasm, the weakest one. Soon, a third and final kit slid out.
Spiderfur began to lick the two kits like Silverfeather instructed him to.
Scarletpaw had managed to see the third kit's birth, and was now vomiting in the bushes nearby the SHP entrance.

Silverfeather took a look at all three kits. "They seem healthy enough." She nodded. She flicked her tail gently over Spiderfur's ear. "You have to find a way to let them nurse the first few days, then they'll have to eat fresh-kill."

Spiderfur looked at the three kits. "Two she-kits and a tom..." He was purring so hard he had to choke the words out.
Spiritshadow was panting, snuggling close to her children. "I want one of the she-kits to be named Eclipsekit. That one," she mewed, pointing her tail to the smallest she-kit. Spiderfur sniffed. "I like that name. Can the tom be Indigokit?" "Mmhmm. And the other she-kit?" Spiderfur pondered for a moment. His eyes lit up, and he grinned. "Shiningkit."

Silverfeather purred warmly at the two. She said, "I'll keep guard a while." And lay down at hte entrance.

Spiderfur curled up next to his mate and kits. The SHP filled with the sounds of joyful purring.
Scarletpaw had finished vomiting, and returned to camp to stuff herself with more food.
Harlequinpelt was having trouble sleeping. He ended up vomiting in the dirtplace because he felt so bad that he told Shadowtooth that Spiderfur was the father. Hopefully she would go soft on him because they're best friends... right?

Silverfeather fell into a light, fretful sleep. She had a sense that something would go wrong.

Who the heck are you, might I ask, in the most polite manner I can muster.
