Nightshiver Ft. Sleepysunrise
[ 62 moons | She / Her | Shc Forever Queen | Kitty Softpaws T1 ]
It hadn't taken long for the forever queen to realise what was happening; she had retrieved a wayward stick and leaned down to offer to Dovehave, speaking gently. "To help... with.. the pain."
After which she confirmed with the queen that both medics could be present. She offered her a grateful smile, and after disappearing, soon returned with Sleepysunrise and Silentpaw nearby. Sleepysunrise was even carrying a single stalk of chervil with her, her expression blank while turmoil made rounds in her mind. She was not ready to face the miracle of life, but... Anything for science? (Yuck). Even so, the young cat was here, and kept a safe distance to observe the more trained of the group at work.
Nightshiver moved forth, waiting for permission before - if Dovehave allowed - briefly laying her paws on the queen's belly to feel for the kittens, and if the queen permitted, making space for Sleepysunrise to do the same, who grimaced. Nightshiver began to explain. "It feels..like.. a lot of... kits. U-usually... during... difficult... births you... can give... burnet. But... you don't... have any. Do you?"
She smiled gently as the medic replied negative. "Once.. the kittens are... born. Nip open.. the sac.... they are.. in and warm.. them up.. by licking.. against.. the grain of... their fur. Then place... them with.. Dovehave."
She explained to the medics.
What a generous queens. Nightshiver settled nearby, ready to help the queen and intervene at any given moment should it be needed.

Dovehaze quickly took the stick that Nightshiver offered her with a grateful nod. Soon, the medicine cat was here, and it seems Nightshiver was teaching Sleepysunrise a little.
Whatever, they can do whatever they want, she just needs to focus on pushing these kits out.
She bit down on the stick as hard as she could as she pushed.
One, two, three...
Four was a stillborn.
And at this point there was... blood.
She hoped that was normal, but at the moment it was hard to think clearly.
She continued pushing.
Five, six..
Another stillborn. She doesn't like that. It fills her with grief, but she can't focus on it yet.
Eight, nine...
The last one is difficult, there's tons of blood, and she's feeling weaker and weaker as seconds go by, but ten soon comes.
She's lost way too much blood.
She can feel herself slipping.
She needs to name them before... that possibly.. happens.
"I'll name you all... Bonekit, Twilightkit..." The words struggle to come out due to wavering energy "Vixenkit, Wispkit, Cottonkit... Buzzardkit, Coldkit... and Grubkit.."
Dovehaze then turns her attention to the last two.
The stillborns.
She'll name them, it seems she'll be with them. "Bloomkit... and Charkit."
All her energy is drained, blood is pooling, and...
She's gone almost as soon as all the kits are named.
Laying there, still.

The small kit squealed, eyes closed, paws scrabbling feebly against the ground. It was cold where she lay, so she was trying to squirm her way to the warmth of her mother’s coat. As the feel of her mother’s fur, she trembled. It was also cold. The only thing the kit knew was that this cat wasn’t her mother.. Atleast it didn’t feel like it. The only other thing she knew was her name. Vixenkit. Assuming it was her name was dumb but all she could do was assume. Her mother was ice cold now and there was not food it seemed.

Silentpaw only gave a stiff nod at Nightshiver's instructions, and simply sits by, watching as he didn't want to intervene. He knew nothing, after all. But as the birth goes on, he couldn't help but press his lips to a thin line, concerned by the amount of blood. The scent was overwhelming, causing him, to step back slightly as if it would help.
Ten kits. That was a lot. Well, it only seemed eight would make it, given two of the ten kits seemed completely still, almost lifeless. It was too late to save the kits, it seemed. But another problem was that the queen was dying. Silentpaw felt a rush of panic. Someone was dying in front of him, how could he stay calm? But of course, from the outside, he looked as if it was an ordinary thing, staying calm and collected as life was sucked out of the queen. He looked to the kits, now without a mother, and towards Nightshiver and Sleepysunrise, respectively. He didn't know what to do. Dovehaze was dead. What would become of the kits? Would Nightshiver even be able to care for them all?

The little kitten was so cold! Bug mewled out pitifully, wiggling their way to some semblance of warmth. But bug couldn't find any and bug continued to cry out. Bug was the runt of the litter and smaller than their other siblings, good gracious! SOMEONE GET BUG WARM!

Eyes and ears closed, blind and deaf to the world until he grows big enough.
The first thing Bonekit felt was cold.
And the cold didn't go away even as he searched for warmth.
He started mewing loudly in hopes of food and warmth.
There was so much black matted fur that any cat would have been sure there were two kittens near Dovehaze. The first kitten, whose face could be seen, was opening and closing their mouth, taking their first tiny breaths, while the other, fluffy kitten, beside them was barely moving at all. One's heart would stop in this moment, as the breathless moments stretched on forever.
That was, until, the first kitten started stirring. The effort of moving for the first time forced little huffs out of their mouth, as it was revealed that the second kitten was no other than their own pelt! Alone, they looked strange, but with their siblings, they seemed normal. They didn't mewl like the rest of them, but did start blindly searching for warmth also, their tiny body shaking in the struggle to coordinate.
Coldkit layed still for the most part!,but moved a little at times, she was next a corpse that was cold and limp, but was soft but still cold, she wanted some warmth and food, she was very munch hungry! They weird sents nearby, that she didn’t recognize! There was a little warmth next her littermates but they were also cold.
Small and fragile, deaf and blind.
Cottonkit wiggled and squirmed, attempting to move. The newly born kit let out a squeak, it was cold. Really cold.
In an attempt for warmth, she wriggled around, not much else she could do. After all, she was a kit.
Couldn't even move besides wiggling and squirming around like a beetle flipped over on its back.
In desperate search for warmth, or possible food, Cottonkit wailed for comfort. Yet there's doubt that she'll get a response.
