"The moves that you make, they come with mistakes"

Mistybreeze slunk out of RiverClan camp, her belly heavy with kits. She dragged her paws forward, making it to the edge of the border. She caught Branch's scent instantly, and her eyes lit up. The wet ground caused mud to seep into her paws and fur. The queen cringed, the uncomfortable feeling making her wince. As she did, she let out a howl of pain, dropping down to the ground away from the border. Her paws dropped down to her side and her eyes widened in confusion and agony. Her tail tip twitched as she cried out again, leaning her head back.

Branch ♥ He / They ♥ Ex-Riverclan warrior ♥ 34+ moons

It was another day where Branch was doing his best to scare prey into Riverclan territory, it was safer that way for him. He sighed softly hissing at a squirrel, which darted off across the border with ease, that's when he heard a familiar sounding voice cry out.

Wait- Mist? His eyes widened as he dropped everything, even his concern for his own safety was throw to the side, all he could think of was making sure that she was okay. He dashed over, claws unsheated, pausing when he saw her alone

"Mists, what are you doing here- Are... you okay?" He asked sniffing at her, with both of his sister's being who they were, he never got to experience the beauty of childbirth, nor new what to look for, for right now, all he could see if the love of his life in excruciating pain. He felt helpless seeing the confusion and fear in her gaze, only a few second passed but it felt like an eternity of him standing there watching.

That's when his eyes widened, it'd been about a moon since Misty had found out she was pregnant... that would put her at- oh no- Oh stars. She was about 2 moons along... which meant they could be here at any second- which meant...

"Mists- Is it- Are you-?" He searched desperately for the right words to say "Is it the kits?" He was probably stupid for asking that, and rightfully would deserve a swift swat from Misty for sure.

Mistybreeze felt she could almost jump with relief as Branch rushed over to her, but his clueless character ended that feeling quickly. The RiverClan queen had never kitted before, let alone seen a kitting. What was she supposed to do? I'm not okay, at the moment! She snapped, though her eyes were soft as she looked up into the outsider's. Yes, I think the kits are coming. She gasped, trembling as she felt her flanks rise and fall.

oh- Oh nonono He had to get help- He didn't know what to do-

"Stars misty- Stay here I'll be right back- I-" His brows furrowed "I- I think I smell Snapjaw- it's- It's going to be okay.. I promise" He pressed his forehead to her for a second before darting off toward the border, he froze as he neared it, frowning.

He was met with his sister's cold gaze.

Snapjaw ♠ She / Her ♠ Riverclan warrior ♠ 34+ moons

Snapjaw was patrolling alone. Lily had become distant lately and this is all she could do to get the stress back at camp out of her mind.

She'd smelled Misty's scent, why was she out of camp alone? She was VERY pregnant? The large she-cat furrowed her brows as she followed the scent, her eyes narrowing at the cat that she ended up meeting.

Littlebranch, her brother. A scowl crossed her maw as she looked him up and down "You should be dead" She said plainly, her tail lashing behind her. The Riverclan warrior unsheathed her claws, immediately swinging at him.

~~~

Branch ♥ He / They ♥ Ex-Riverclan warrior ♥ 34+ moons

Woah- What the hell? He tried to dodge out of the way and for the most part succeeded. Though Snap's claws snagged on his ear, tearing a large piece of it off. Branch hissed, shaking his head, blood dripped down from the injury but he ignored it.

"Damn it Snapjaw! What was that for?" Their tail lashed wildly behind him "I- I need your help- NOW- Mistybreeze came to-" He shot a guilty glance at the ground "She came to see me... then went into labor- I don't-"

~~~

Snapjaw ♠ She / Her ♠ Riverclan warrior ♠ 34+ moons

Oh, of course HE was the father. She let out a frustrated growl, lashing her claws out at her brother's face, cutting him off mid-sentence.

"Where is she Littlebranch?" She said with a growl, waiting for him to regain his composure then lead the way.

~~~

Branch ♥ He / They ♥ Ex-Riverclan warrior ♥ 34+ moons

Branch stumbled back at the blow to his cheek, he felt blood welling up in the wound before beginning to trickle down his face. He narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath

"It's Branch" He said with a growl before taking off back toward Mistybreeze.

"Mists! I'm back! I found Snap- she has kits and a mate-" He said, remembering what Blueberryfrost had told him once while they were talking. He looked down, a panicked expression staring down at her, his tail twitching nervously, almost forgetting about the wounds his sister had given him, which were still bleeding.

~~~

Snapjaw ♠ She / Her ♠ Riverclan warrior ♠ 34+ moons

Snapjaw followed close behind, collecting a few sticks on the way. She dropped them at Mistybreeze's side "when you feel like you're ready to push, bite one of these, if you break it get another-" She said, taking her place next to Mistybreeze

Despite her cold expression she was admittedly excited, she was delivering her nieces and nephews. She'd gotten to deliver most kits related to her now, lovely.

Mistybreeze let out a whimper of protest as Branch dashed away, leaving her alone and vulnerable to predators. Stars, her kits had better live! Her gaze hardened as he came back with Snapjaw. He wasn't supposed to let anyone know! She could tell their secret to Owlstar! S-snapjaw...! She greeted, her teeth grinding together. Well, this was something she could think about later. At least the warrior was here to help. Grimacing, the queen bit back a wail as her teeth bit down on a stick. Pushing as hard as she could, a small, wet bundle slipped out. With a gasp, her back collapsed to the ground in relief, but little did she know, the second kit was coming.

Branch watched with intrigue and horror as the first of their kits were born, the kit was handed to him by Snapjaw, he began to clean the kit before pulling it close to keep it warm, making sure his tail was between the kit and the snowy ground below them.

"Mists... You're doing so well- the kit is beautiful, like you" He murmured, looking down at their first born kit. He picked it up, setting it beside her stomach, as much if not more unaware she was having more kits. It felt odd that only one was born, but hey, he didn't care, she seemed to be somewhat relaxed, right?

~~~

Snapjaw ♠ She / Her ♠ Riverclan warrior ♠ 34+ moons

Snap calmly delivered the first kit, handing it off to her brother. She furrowed her brows, at her brother's words. Gross. Birth was gross and painful looking, she'd had to deliver Lilyglide's kits several moons ago and sometimes it still haunted her nightmares.

she sighed, silently waiting in case there was more than just the one. Now wasn't time for a lecture, she had to make sure Misty survived this.

Mistybreeze nodded, craning her neck to try and look at her first kit. She took a deep breath, laying her head down on the soft, cold snow. She shivered, squeezing her eyes close as another spasm took over her. That was it, only two kits, right? She sighed happily, leaning forward to nuzzle the kit before jerking back in pain. B-b-branch! She cried as the stick cracked between her jaws.

She felt cold and distant, but a stir around her told her she wasn’t alone. What was alone? Letting out a raspy mew as a quick pink tongue ran over her pelt before being picked up. She squirmed in the jaws of her captor but it wasn’t long they set her down by a big mass of fur. Gingerly her little pink nose sniffed the fur, the milky scent making her hungry. Pressing her paws into the belly of her mother she located the source of the scent and began to feed, letting out soft squeaks of satisfaction.
