[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/lil2.jpg] Lilypool was feeling a tremendous amount of pain. She could not believe how much discomfort this was. She was a little worried though, her stomach wasnt as huge as she expected, but she knew it probably just meant less kits. Plus leaf fall is here, well the sings where here. She was worried, and her kits where on there way. Plus they did not have a full medicine cat serving in camp, Batnose had gone to find herbs. They had an apprentice but she could not help much. Though she did stop by to give Lilypool some herbs. It did help with some of the pain, but the she-cat was juts so worried, she wanted to be alone. Plus where was Skie? Lilypool had not seen him for weeks, and now he would miss the birth of his own children. Lilypool had to calm down though, she was already uncomfortable she did not want to start crying. But it was hard.She felt like pushing, but there was no one around, well Moonpaw could be here but Lilypool did not feel the young she-cat should go threw this with out a mentor by her side. But Lilypool did want some one here, maybe a friend. But so far no one seemed to noticed she was alone. -edited-

[atrb=background,http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/littledarkling/Cats/batmiddle.png] "talking" / thinking Batnose felt as if the day was turning lazy fast. There seemed to be nothing to do. The herbs were stocked up the best they could be considering the season and Moonpaw was busy doing her daily chores that Batnose gave her. But today he felt happy and less skittish. After being out of camp for awhile, it felt good to be home. His yellow-amber peering out of his den, he picked up a few herbs and made his way to the nursery. He was sure Lilypool would be expecting in the next couple days, so he wanted to make sure she was ready. Before he went to the nursery though, he detoured over to the elders den, noting the snores from the older cats. They sounded healthy and he would send Moonpaw over to check on their pelts later, and maybe an apprentice or two to change their bedding. It was important to keep their bedding dry and clear of anything like thorns and such. Batnose was comfortable with dealing with cranky elders but some of the others felt that they were more of an annoyance than anything. After he was satisfied with the elders he moved over to the nursery. He pushed through gentle, as to not disturb Lilypool if she were sleeping. To his surprise though, she was wake and by the look on her pretty face, she was in labor. "Lilypool! I am s-s-s-orry that I wasn't here e-e-ealier. How are you f-f-feeling?" He stuttered out his words, becoming nervous for both Lilypool and her kits. "Are you ready?" The black and white tom dropped the herbs, knowing he might need them afterward, but right now he needed to help Lilypool through her labor. He wished for Moonpaw to be here to witness the miracle of birth but he didn't have time to go get her. words; 308 comments; I know your post is saying Moonpaw is the only medicine cat, but we can pretend maybe Batnose was out of camp for awhile? I don't know. XD

[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/lil2.jpg] Lilypool was getting worried, she wasnt sure if she could do this, maybe she would call Moonpaw. But thank Starclan as she heard Batnose come in. She smiled, but the pain made it look less convincing then she liked. ''Im okay i guess. Moonpaw tried to help but she is new right. Yes i am ready. ouhh.. I think these kits are too''. Lilypool sighed and looked up at the tom, knowing he would be here to help her in anyway possible. Plus if she died the kits would find another mom, she would look after them from starclan. But she had to be positive and think that everything will be well. Closing her eyes the she-cat took in a deep breath and let it out, pushing down. It was a strange feeling, but she had to stop and breath, she could though feel something coming. With the second push it was easier and something seemed to fall on the bedding, she heard it. ''Is the kit okay? Is it a boy? Girl? Is it healthy?''. Like a mother she was Lilypool was extremely worried about her baby. Plus as she tried to look it seemed the kit had grey fur, like Skie. {sorry lol it was before Mr Batnose, but it was edited. // I can post Moonpaw if ya want too}

[atrb=background,http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/littledarkling/Cats/batmiddle.png] "talking" / thinking Batnose stood at Lilypool's side like the jittery medicine cat that he was. He eyes fell down toward the tiny new born kit that lay behind Lilypool. He went up to it, licking it impulsively. Her picked up the kit, giving him to his mother. The kit was a tom and he seemed to be in excellent health. There was no doubt in Batnose's mind that he would definitely survive through leaf-bare, even if he caught kitten or white cough, the kit was healthy, that was all that mattered. ''Is the kit okay? Is it a boy? Girl? Is it healthy?'' Batnose let out a purr in contentment. "He's a tom, and very healthy." Curiosity struck Batnose when he looked at the kit. He was not sure who the father was and wasn't sure if it was polite to ask. Many of the she-cat who had kits had the father pacing outside of the den, but Lilypool didn't. It bothered the black and white time but he had to concentrate on Lilypool and her kits. "There should be another." He mewed, trying to move his thoughts away from the absent father. "You're doing great Lilypool." He mewed, continuing to purr quietly, awaiting the second kit he was sure was there. words; 208 comments; ^^

[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/lil2.jpg] Lilypool heard Batnose clean the kit of then pick him up, she saw now that the kit looked so much like his or her father, grey pelt and all. She just wondered what colored eyes and gender, then maybe she could think of a name. But the pain was coming back, she didnt have much time to rest before the other kit was son the way like the medicine cat had said. Lilypool wondered how many where in her two? Maybe even three. She was so exited and happy to be a mother she had almost forgotten about Skie. Exept that she heard her baby was a boy, which hit her hard. Closing her eyes the she-cat took in a deep breath and let it out, pushing down. It was a strange feeling, but she had to stop and breath, she could though feel something coming. With the second push it was easier , by the third something seemed to fall on the bedding, she heard it. ''Is the kit okay? And is it a boy as well?''. Like a mother she was Lilypool was extremely worried about her baby. Plus as she tried to look at the kit but could not see him or her, Lilypool was so tired now, and no more kits seem to come. She was tired, and even hungry now.

[atrb=background,http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/littledarkling/Cats/batmiddle.png] "talking" / thinking Batnose nuzzled the tom kit toward Lilypool, his mother. He was healthy and he was proud of Lilypool for giving birth to him. But there still another kit to worry about. Lilypool was a first time mother and even with an experienced mother anything could go wrong. Batnose knew this from experience but he felt a sudden calmness with this birthing. It was like StarClan themselves was there in the nursery, making sure everything went right. "K-k-keep going Lilypool, you're doing great." He stuttered a little, encouraging the she-cat to keep pushing. She would be able to rest as soon as her second kit was here and they were checked out. She probably needed to eat as well. He had never thought about that before checking up on her, but he would just go get something for her right after checking the kits. Finally the last kit came out. Giving the kit a few licked and placing it next to Lilypool, he examined it. The kit was a she-cat and pretty healthy from what he could tell. "A daughter. You have a little she-kit. And she looks just as healthy as her brother." Batnose purred as he watched the two kits beside Lilypool. The question he had before, who was their father, popped into his head again. But he didn't bother asking. She looked tired and probably hungry and would need her rest. "How are you feeling?" He asked, "I'll bring you something to eat then you have to rest. I'll give you some borage leaves to make sure you have enough milk for the two." He was about to leave but then had a question he was sure she could answer without getting too emotional. "What are you going to name them?" words; 291 comments; I'll take the tom-kit and his name can stay as Hushkit. <3

[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/lil2.jpg] The silver she-cat was glad to hear she was doing great. Specially since the last kit was healthy as Batnose said, plus she was a she-cat. Lilypool was glad to have a little couple maybe that means mother hood would not be so hard. Lilypool looked at her family, the little tom looked a lot like his dad while the little girl looked like Lilypool but in a lighter sense of pelt color, she looked like a beautiful winter day. Lilypool sighed she was tired, plus the kuts seemed starved they where fighting to fed, even though there was only two of them, that made Lilypool smile. ''Tired, and a bit hungry but im okay. And um thank you so much''. The new mom wanted to tell someone about the dad, Skie. She sighed and looke dup at the one who helped give life to her kits. ''I think ill name the tom Hushkit and the little she-kit Swankit. And um..'', Lilypool paused her odd eyes looking at the tom, hoping he would listen before he left. ''The father, well he is a loner, i have not seen him in weeks...''. The she-cat felt better right away, the cat was out of the bag. Plus all she wanted to know was where he was. Looking down at her kits their eyes where still closed, it would take a day or two before it would open. She wondered if they had their dads eyes or odd eyes like her, maybe one even had green eyes. But she had to wonder as well what will the clan think of the kits being part loner.

[atrb=background,http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/littledarkling/Cats/batmiddle.png] "talking" / thinking The tom followed her gaze to the two little squirmy kits. They would be find and survive leaf-bare for sure. He could see Lilypool become overly protective of her kits in a few moons but what new mother wasn't? Even his were overly protective; keeping him in dens and always having eyes watching him. He didn't mind it too much because the fact was that he was too sick and not strong enough to be without those watchful eyes. He thanked his parents, mentor and Clan every day by doing his job as the medicine cat. "Those are wonderful names. And you are most wel-wel-welcome." The black and white tom nodded his head in respect to the Queen. It was them that provided the Clan with the warriors and future leaders of the Clan. How could anyone not respect what the Queens did; any Queen for that matter! Without them the Clans were be nothing. "Well, if he doesn't come a-a-around then he is missing out on som-som-something great." Batnose stuttered out. He didn't think the tom would come around but he could always be wrong. He hoped the unknown tom would step up to be a father because every kit needed both their parents. Batnose left the nursery and padded over to the fresh-kill pile. He nosed through it till he found something that was still warm. A large mouse, just caught purhaps? Please with what he found he padded quickly back to the nursery. "Here, eat. You need to keep up your strength. I-I-I'll send over an apprentice or someone later to check on your bedding." The medicine cat looked at the kits again for a moment. They were rather cute and he wondered which one would take after their mother. words; 290 comments; x:

[atrb=background,http://i437.photobucket.com/albums/qq95/amanda1472/v2.png] The small female sighed, it seemed her long long day was coming to an end, though it wasn't night yet. The female was so glad for their wonderful Medicine cat, she also hopped Moonpaw could be here soon to see the kits, Lilypool knew she sent her away, but now she felt better about letting the young she-cat seeing her. Well she should have let her stay, it was her job. She closed her eyes, but looked in the direction of Batnose before setting her head down, her kits once again stirring. ''Thank you so much Batnose for helping me. And im sorry for sending Moonpaw away''. Lilypool knew their dad was missing something but what could she do.. nothing. Their father was gone and she was sure he would never come back, not even for a good bye, she had fallen for his charms, she was young, and foolish but now she had to raise her kits alone. By that time Batnose had left she was sleepy. The tabby knew he was coming back with food, he was a good tom, even though he stuttered once in a while. But she heard footsteps and she knew Batnose was back, plus he had food. ''Thanks'', Getting up she started to chow down, her eyes huge, and stomach growling. ''So how long before they open their eye would you say?''

[atrb=background,http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l534/littledarkling/Cats/batmiddle.png] "talking" / thinking Batnose nodded his appreciation to the Queen and when he returned with her prey, Batnose realized he was hungry too. Being a medicine cat left little time to eat and he often forgot about the amazing taste of prey until he was able to finally eat. He watched the hungry Lilypool eat and he looked at the kits again. Swankit was probably going to end up a white cat and he hoped that she would not end up blind or deaf. He had an incident before where I kit was born blind. Everything was find but when a kit is born deaf, there was little hope for it. Batnose changed his train of thought to Lilypool when she asked a question. When will their eyes open? He hadn't had to answer that question before but he knew the answer. It was apart of being a medicine cat, to know everything about a cat. He had asked the question while he was training and witnessed his first birth. His mentor didn't seem too concerned with the question and eagerly answered the curious young tom. "Well, sometimes each kit is di-different. Some open them early while some o-o-open them late." Batnose repeated what his mentor had told him but in his stuttering voice. "Between one to two weeks I wo-would say. Don't worry if one o-o-opens their ey-ey-eyes before the other." Sometimes it was a concern if one opened their eyes before the other but its happened before and Batnose sometimes would worry but it never failed that they would eventually open their eyes. words; 261 comments; none
