With his luck they would be something so generic and bland, that they would grow up and envy their other two siblings for their cool names, Beachkit and Sagekit. Heck knowing himself, he cwould just blurt out some thing like Skykit or Kitkit. Oh gosh was he not looking forwards to this. Previously, he had always thought it would be fun to name his own kits, but now that the actual moment was here, he wasn't liking it. He felt pressured that they had to be good. "Redkit." He blurted out finally, pointing to a small she kit. "Her name can be Redkit." He corrected himself, more calmly. Then he thought. Redkit? No he was being generic! Gah he was doomed. He had to think up something good quick. He had once messed up, now he couldn't strike out again. Wait a sec... "Strikerkit, that's good right? For the last little one?" He asked, not sure how it sounded. To him it sounded good, but then again, Redkit wasn't sounding good at the moment, spray be he was being too over dramatic.... |

A while before, the deputy had been wondering around, murmuring to herself as she worked out what needed to be done. As she had been scanning the camp, she had noticed her apprentice, talking to her good friend Cliffheart. At first, the ebony she-cat hadn't payed much attention to it. However, as she scanned the camp again, she had spotted Cliffheart padding into the nursery at a rather fast pace. Auroraflame could already guess what was happening, so she decided to wait a bit. A bit then passed and now the deputy had leapt to her paws and darted quickly to the nursery, excitement bubbling in her icy orbs.
The entrance of the nursery shook a little as Auroraflame clumsily burst through, being the klutz she was. A small grin grew on her maw, laughter directed towards herself, shining in her hues. Her grand entrance had managed to attract the attention of most cats in the nursery, however Auroraflame only gave them all a wide grin before looking around. Finally, she spotted who she had been looking for and started to walk slowly over to them, being careful not to trip over any kits. A purr rumbled from the back of her throat as a few kits ran around her paws, playing a game of tip.
Finally, the deputy reached the Somali and Abyssinian. She opened her mouth to say something, however she noticed how deep in thought Cliffheart and felt an expression of confusion crossing over her face. However, being quite intelligent, it took her less than a second to figure out what was going on. She mouthed the word 'Sorry', to the couple before moving back and sitting down, wrapping her tail neatly around her paws. Trust Auroraflame to be that awkward cat in the corner, she seemed to find that hilarious though.

As he named the two kits, she smiled and nodded.
"Redkit..." she said, licking the only female of the litter, and then she turned to the tom.
"And Strikerkit." she said softly, and she licked his head in the same fashion. She gave a slight nuzzle to Cliffheart, smiling as she did. They actually had a family. She loved him, she brought him out of his shell, well, a little bit. There was only so much she could do. Through the entire pregnancy she told him he would be a great father, and now was the time to prove it.
Then, her gaze turned to the entrance, and a smile crossed her maw. It was Auroraflame, and as she bumped into the entrance, she gave a small chuckle. The Deputy has been a great help in these past few moons for this clan. She padded up, mouthing 'sorry' to her. She gave a chuckle and shook her head.
"It's fine." she replied in a low tone. She looked down at her kits, smiling at them.
"Well, you missed a little bit, hun." she started, and brushed her tail over her kits.
"This one is Beachkit." she meowed, dragging her tail over the blue-grey kit.
"This one is Sagekit." she said, passing over the fluffy kit.
"This is Redkit." she said, passing over the female kit, and she finally reached to the last one.
"And this is Strikerkit." she said, and she rested her tail down.
She purred, thinking about one of them being leader, or medicine cat, being famed or praised, having families of their own. One becoming as great as Auroraflame, or even better, their father. She thought of this and she turned to her mate, giving his cheek a lick. She then turned to Auroraflame, and looked at the kits.
"They'll be great. Just like Aunt Aurora." she said, mostly to tease with the Deputy more than anything.

The kit was silent like always, suckling, kneading her stomach. Once he got his fill he stopped, and just curled up in the spot he was in. He felt his mother's tongue on his head and he gave a mewl, and then a little bit after he felt her tail brush against him, a new scent in the den. He felt his sister next to him and decided to curl around her, and he rested, and in no time he was asleep.
