Not long after feeling immense discomfort in her stomach and noticing her wet nest, Twilightstar left her den and made her way to the nursery. She glanced at the snow bengal slumbering with five newborns and the large gray tom sleeping not far from her.

She kept quiet, leaving them both to sleep as she took up a spare nest and flopped down on it. Perhaps it was dying in strangely brutal ways seven times already, but labor pain wasn't that bad for her. It hurt, a lot naturally, but aside from her sinking her claws in the dirt floor and occasionally shifting around in the nest, she was fine. The first litter had been so much worse, traumatizing honestly. The thought had terrible memories resurfacing that she pushed to the back of her mind. She did not want to be stressed out worse than she already was.

Time went by unnoticeably until the contractions grew so strong that she had to push and the first kitten was born, healthy and crying. From then on it was a fervor dream, pushing out a kit, cleaning it, and putting it with the others. At some point in time, she must have passed out, something felt off, and everything went dark.

When she opened her eye again a pair of worried copper ones were peering down at her.

"Are you okay?" Leopardsong asked, nudging one of the leader's kits back in place beside the others when it rolled out of place. The nest was too small.

"Tired, but fine." Twilightstar hummed as she felt gummy mouths and little claws knead at her belly.

"Are you sure? Cause I swore...." Leopardsong hesitated before shaking her head. "You know what never mind. Give me a second I'll get you more moss for your nest. You had a whole clan worth of kittens." The forever queen perked up as she padded out of the leader's sight.

A whole clan? What was she.... ooooooh. What the hell!!? Twilightstar, who had not been counting the kits, was utterly stunned when she lifted her head to check on them. Beastspark was a dead tom when she saw him again. D-E-A-D.

Leopardsong returned to the nursery with moss in her maw while Twilightstar counted the squirming newborns. Thirteen! There were thirteen of them! Seriously, she was murdering their father. While Twilightstar plotted the murder of her children's father, Leopardsong cleaned up around the tired she-cat, replacing old moss with new, she discovered that the nest was still too small for thirteen kittens and their mother.

Since she wasn't going to leave the camp to fetch more moss, she padded over to the slumbering lump of fur and swatted at his head until he finally opened his green eyes. The tom had up residence in the nursery after her litter, as she often abused his sense of responsibility and used him as a free kittensitter.

"Leechscar, I'm shocked you managed to sleep through this. Help me move my nest, I need to place it against Twilightstar's." Combining the two should help keep them all inside the nest at least. She'd make Leechscar get more moss later. Leopardsong could help the older cat with feeding too. Leopardsong stared at the leader after she laid her head back down, making sure that her chest was rising and falling.

The molly swore to StarClan and beyond that Twilightstar had not been breathing when Leopardsong first woke up. But she had woken up like she was napping for a moment, so Leopardsong wasn't certain. She wasn't going to think about it too hard.

[So the birth order will be determined by the posting order. If you post first your kit's the oldest, you post last, your kit's the youngest. Everyone else gets to be the forgotten middle children. You guys can post whenever you'd like.]
