The twins of evil

Weepingwillow was in the nursery, sitting peacefully whilst grooming. Little Cloverkit playing with her tail as usual. Suddenly Weepingwillow had an all to familiar pain in her belly. Oh Starclan... with an eery calm Weepingwillow looked at Briarmask and Cloverkit. "Oh my...Clover would you mind running out and getting your papa as well as my mate?" Weepingwillow gave a small huff as she layed on her side gingerly.
Cloverkit doing as she was told ran out. Finding Mightwhisper she told him to go, Emberpaw following as Cloverkit finally found Acornfall. "Papa! Auntie Weepingwillow is gonna give us new friends!" She exclaimed in her shy and soft tone. Though her tiny tail quivering in excitement gave away how she really felt.

Weepinwillow in the nursery finally heard Nightwhisper. Feeling her mate's build slip behind her, Weepingwillow slid into his warmth with a small groan. Seeing Emberpaw with the wet moss as ordered, she purred raspily. "Thank you son..."

Acornfall was sleeping in his nest in the warrior's den when he heard a familiar tiny voice calling out to his. Blinking blearily, the brown tabby was confused. "Little...Clover?" He mewed drowsily, stretching his nest with a big yawn. What was she talking about? Making friends...was Weepingwillow some kind of deity now? Wait...Weepingwillow is... Oh stars. The kits! Acornfall scrambled out of his nest, carefully picking up Cloverkit by her scruff so he could run to the nursery full speed. It didn't take him long, and he gingerly set the little kit back down in her nest with her siblings. "Stay here, Clove!" He mewed sternly before looking over to where Weepingwillow and Nightwhisper were gathered.

"Is there anything I can help with?" He asked, not sure what to do with himself. He didn't know how to be if his paws weren't busy, shouldn't he be doing something??

Nightwhisper was fearless warrior, only now did his eyes show with slight worry and panic . "Acorn" he meowed in relief. "Could uhm...dang it I can't think straight" Nightwhisper murmured, his long black tail waving anxiously, his ears slightly pinning as Weepingwillow gave a groan.
Emberpaw noticed his father's struggle. "I brought her some water, she needs a stick and....I know it's a bit much to ask but my parents trust you with there life as do I. When the kits come would you help me? Just to be sure there...yknow ok? I've never exactly done this before and by the looks of it dad is gonna stay holding her up incase she collpases" Emberpaw's tone was slightly wavering with anxiety, though he forced himself to take control and maintain a semi brave face. Emberpaw gently moved the moss near his mothers head to help her lap, Emberpaw's ears pinned against his head as he forced himself to listen to his mothers crys. "Starclan if these kits don't survive were gonna have problems" the young tom growled under his breath. Emberpaw gently put his muzzle on his mothers stomach. As contractions rippled he could feel the spots it tensed in. Gently putting a downwards pressure which seemed to help. "I...I think your very close mom.....I dont know exactly when but I'd say sense the contractions are so far...down. After the next one you should...yknow push" Emberpaw shuffled his jet black paws, a bit flustered by the whole situation of helping his mother give birth, the tom silently looked at his mentor for help.

Acornfall nodded at Emberpaw, his eyes glistening with pride. He couldn't help it. It was easy for him to see that Emberpaw had really grown up into a fine young cat. I need to remember to wrap up his training. He thought to himself with a chuckle. At the mention of needing a stick, the brown tabby nodded, moving as quickly as he could while still avoiding reopening any of his wounds. Acornfall didn't stray far from the camp, finding the thickest stick he could and testing it on his own jaws. Satisfied, he carried it back to the nursery and laid it near Weepingwillow for her to use. "Ya can bite this instead of, Night." He mewed with a chuckle, unable to help himself. Tension and stress made him want to break the tension the only way he knew how.

He looked back at Emberpaw as he continued to issue instructions, offering a small smile to comfort the tom when he gave him a look like a silent plea for help. "Yer doin' great, kid. Don't worry." He mewed soothingly, brushing his tail against Emberpaw's flank. "I'll help however I can." He promised, blinking his remaining eye warmly. It was still a weird sensation...but he was slowly getting used to the empty feeling where his right eye used to be. At the very least he was still able to help his clanmates.

Weepingwillow gently held the stick. Emberpaw brushing his tail over Acornfall's side gently in thanks. "Come on mom...you can do it" he mewed.

(After all that)

Weepingwillow lay on her side. Exhausted as she had her tail wrapped around two very similar little kits. Only some ginger and black swapped. (Help idk which is which. I forgor)
Nightwhisper looked fondly at his kits, his eyes filled with emotion and pride. His head resting on Emberpaw waho looked at them nervously. "There so tiny...."
(Soon to be) Mothkit gave a small cry

[Luna16]

Acornfall breathed a sigh of relief when it was over. Two healthy little ones. He couldn't hide the pride and warmth from his face, giving Nightwhisper a gentle nudge with his shoulder. "Congratulations, brother." He purred, nodding to Weepingwillow in congratulations. "Let me grab Bri really quick, she'll definitely wanna see them!" With that, the brown tabby gave Emberpaw a swift lick on his forehead and trotted off into a different area of the nursery.

"Bri?" He mewed softly, gently nudging his mate with his muzzle. Careful of the cobwebs still on his face. "Bri, my love, Weepingwillow had her kits." He purred. It may be selfish of him...but he hoped her joy at the kits might overshadow how upset she's been acting around him lately.

The thusly unnamed kit rolled, struggling to reach the warmth of her mother's belly as she mewled and wailed.

Briarmask
She/her - 33 moons - (Temporary) ThC queen



'Bri? Bri, my love, Weepingwillow had her kits.'

A familiar voice and familiar muzzle trickling her ear. She takes a moment to register his words' meaning, but once she does her eyes snap open. She sits up abruptly, and turns her icy hues to her mate.

"She had the kits already? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She exclaims, the second exclamation slightly passive-aggressive but not elaborated on.

She rushes past him and sits down next to Weepingwillow, a soft expression on her face.

"How are they?" She murmurs the question, mindful of how tired the queen must be.

Childbirth really is the worst, but she's found it to be worth it.

Nightwhisper purred softly. Licking Acornfall's ear. Emberpaw also giving a tiny purr at Acornfalls show of affection.
Weepingwillow looked up at Briarmask. Her eyes alight with tiredness though happiness at the sight of a fellow shecat. "There wonderful....there's one boy and one girl" she purred gently. "My little twins. Look how similar they are" Weepingwillow licked their heads in turn. Weepingwillow looked at Nightwhisper. "Wanna tell them love?"
Nightwhisper gave a gentle nod. "Acorn and Bri. You've both been here for us for....a long time now. So we decided. There's two of you, and two kits. So we'd like each of you to name them." Nightwhisper purred gently. His eyes hopeful.

[Luna16]

The large brown tabby blinked at the tone in Bri's voice. Was that...passive aggression? Was Bri even capable of that? Nah... He shook it off, she was probably just groggy, or still grumpy with him for...well...the whole otter thing. And the whole...minus one eye thing... Aaaaanyway, he turned to follow her back to Weepingwillow and the kits, his heart swelling at the sight of them. He looked at Bri with warmth brimming in his eyes, remembering when their kits were born. Stars that was a lot of names.

He wasn't prepared for the additional news Weeps and Night had for them. Blinking, it took a moment for the request to register. "Wait...wha- u-us? Name them?" He echoed, jaw agape as he looked from Weepingwillow, to Nightwhisper, to Emberpaw. "Is that...really okay?" He murmured, looking at Briarmask for a moment before smiling. "Okay." He mewed with a nod, they could do this. He turned to Nightwhisper, giving his friend- no, his brother an affectionate rub with his head.

"Twins eh?" He looked at the young kittens, fascinated. Gently, as though she could break with the slightest breath, Acornfall used his nose to correct the little she-kit. Nudging her to Weepingwillow's belly. Delicate, like a butterfly's wings. Wait...actually! He rounded, looking at Bri with excited eyes. Like a kit leaving camp for the first time. "How about matching names!" He purred loudly. "Butterflykit for the she-kit, and...and..." He struggled to think of a name for the tom. What was opposite to a butterfly? Surely not a caterpillar...

Weepingwillow gave a small purr. Her eyes narrowing as Acornfall nudged her kit, noticing he was only helping she kept her careful gaze on the kit, "Matching names would be adorable!!" . "Butterfly is beautiful" she purred gently. Touching her nose to the newly named Butterflykits ear. Looking as her son squirmed beside his sister. Weepingwilow gave a small revelation. "My beautiful litter....though your my last you better stay with me"
At the words Nightwhisper looked at Weepingwillow. His dark brown eyes shining with understand and a bit of sadness. Nightwhisper watched as Acornfall gently nudged a kit, look at that. Now your gonna have three furballs yelling. 'Uncle Acorn come play with me'. " Nightwhisper teased. Nightwhisper looked at Emberpaw who kept looking at the kits, "It's three again" Emberpaw murmured to himself. Emberpaw stood up. Walking out of the nursery, his tail dragging.
Weepingwillows eyes rounded as she watched him leave.
Nightwhisper also followed his sons figure disappear. Nightwhispers gaze hardened, he wanted to follow hi son but Weepingwillow was resting tiredly against him. Nightwhisper looked torn...but he always asked Acornfall to talk to his son for him.... Nightwhisper looked at Briarmask. The shecat similar in size Nightwhisper asked. "Hey Briar...do you mind uhm. Taking my place for a moment?" He asked. Hoping she accepted. Nightwhispers gaze looked out after his son.
Weepingwillow didn't notice much as she felt the kits latch. The unnamed tom smacking his sister. Weepingwillow gently corrected there positions.
