(sorry for taking so long to post this, but thanks for the reminder! :3 i'm also gonna skip over the birth and go straight to when they are new-borns - just let me know when you wanna time skip and how many moons ^u^)

The calico queen smiled down at the five beautiful bundles of fur. She offered a weak smile to her newest litter. The molly was tired from the labor, yet the pain was nothing compared to the love she felt burning in her chest at the sight of the new life. It's been some moons since the death of her last litter, and she never thought she could ever recover from that... but the aging cat didn't wish to be saddened for the rest of her life. She instead decided to maybe have more kits - not to simply replace her other kits but rather to just bring some more light back into her life. Waveshore had considered adopting kits, but in the end she just decided to have her own and bring new life into this world.

The calico curled tighter around the kits and began to lick them each, not wanting to give any of the kits more attention than another one. She wondered if Crowfoot would come to see the kits soon. She was so proud of her eldest kit and loved him dearly - the queen did love all her kits, though. But first she needed some rest when her newborns would ever fall asleep. If their older brother did show up, she hoped that he would do so at a later time. Due to her being a permanent queen who takes care of kits instead of fighting like a warrior, she was also cooped up with the kits and didn't spend as much time with her other kits as she wished that she could.

Though she planned on this being her last litter, so maybe sometime she would be able to spend more time with her kits when these five leave the den? Of course, the thought of her kits growing up was still a touchy subject. It might not be as hard as when Crowfoot grew up and left the nursery since he was her first kit, but it would still be difficult die to the fact that it always hurt her to watch her kits grow up so fast and that they were going to be her last litter. Of course, she did hope that they would all become great warriors some day... but would like for them to stay as kits for some time before then. Waveshore lovingly smiled as her kits as she grew more sleepily.
