With another queer look, Ivytail poked her head out the entrance of the backroom. Hey Shadow.. Did that yowl of agony.. I dunno come from the tummy area? Ivytail's curious eyes peered. Uh-oh... Larkpaw... Ivytail suddenly got serious. Lay down Shadowheart. I believe I was right about it being today, But this might be a false alarm. He silver body suddenly slunk to her freind's side. Just breathe normally. Or atleast try to.. Larkpaw, can you hand me that bundle?

When Shadowheart shrieked Larkpaw's eyes got wide. "Are you ok?" She said in a wary voice, standing very still. "What was that?" Larkpaw had an idea of what it was...they were coming. "Ivytail!" She yelled, as not to alarm everyone incamp, just her mentor. "They're coming." she whispered the words before she knew she it. "Shadowheart, we have to get you into the medicine den, quickly." Larkpaw began to gently help her to medicine den as quickly as she could but being gentle at the same time.

Shadowheart could still walk for the most part, it was just the constant movement and pain that bothered her. She laid down in on of the nests beside Ivytail, looking at the silver she-cat. She kept her jaws shut and didn't speak. It may've been a false alarm as far as she knew, but it felt real enough.

Alright.. This is it my friend. Ivy said a bit pained. Just keep calm and it'll be over really quick. It only wil feel like a long time. Trust me. She made a comforting smile to re-assure Shadow, yet only time would be the guide here. Oh starclan.... I really hope you don't let me screw this up. Her green eyes looked up for a moment, then returned back into the situation at paw.

Larkpaw grabbed a bundle of herbs and layed it next to Ivytail's paws "Shadowheart, this is very important. Breath very deeply and try to ignore the pain. But push as hard as you can, and don't be afraid to scream." Larkpaw looked to Ivytail to make sure she was doing ok. She was really excited, this was her first birthing, she was also pretty nervous. She hoped she would do ok.

Shadowheart breathed in and breathed out, repeated that. The medicine cat's words comforted her, and she tried to stay calm. She ignored the pain as much as she could, and pushed with her contractions. She hope it'd be over soon, like Ivytail had said; she was eager to see her kits. Anxious to see if they were ok. "Don't. want . to . scream", Shadowheart muttered through clenched teeth. She felt that if she opened her mouth she would do just that.

Ivytail ripped open the bundle and grabbed some seeds and popped them in her mouth. Larkpaw, give her some thyme and borage... Ivytail then ran over to the other side of her own moss den and ripped two large pieces off. She gave one to Larkpaw. If she wants to scream but doesn't wanna be heard, than she can scream into that. Soon but surely a little head began to poke out. It was a brown kitten. Just relax, first one is coming. Ivytail smiled, and began to also get excited.

Larkpaw did as Ivytail told her, she grabbed the moss and put it next to Shadowheart where she could reach it. "If you want, you can scream into that." She said, reassuring Shaodwheart and trying to make her comfortable. When the little kit popped out Larkpaw gapped. It was so cute and so defensless. She began to get really excited and grabbed the thyme and borage Ivytail asked for. "Shadowheart, eat these, they'll help a lot."

Shadowheart swallowed down the poppyseeds, and after a moment she felt like they were starting to work. She ate the borage and thyme Larkpaw gave her, and then took advantage of the moss so that she could scream. It was thankfully muffled because of the moss. She felt the first kit drop.. It was born, she realized with happiness that didn't last long as she felt another kit was coming. She was tempted to sit up and lick the new kit clean, but she knew Ivytail or Larkpaw would do so.

Ivytail quickly picked up the kit and licked it clean. Almost professionally. Its coloring wasn't distinctive yet, but it was sure adorable. It began crying for it's mother, so she sat it back down for it to eat beside it's mom. Almost instantly, the second kitten began to come. Alright, Shadow, your doing really well. Just stay calm.

While Ivytail took care of the incoming kits Larkpaw stayed by Shadowheart and tried to calm her down. "you're doing great. just keep pushing and breathing. Go ahead and scream, it's alright." She smiled warmly at Shadowheart. Larkpaw looked down and saw the first kit laying by his mother's belly and was astonished. "Shadowheart, they're beautiful. The second one's coming now." her smile got even wider.

Shadowheart nodded, lifting her head to sniff the first kit quickly, but she laid her head back again to concentrate on pushing and breathing and simply getting this over with. She listened to Larkpaw, focusing on the younger cat's eyes. A thought ran through her that scared her though, "Larkpaw, do you know where Swiftfire is?", she fretted, anxiousity creasing her expression. She knew that toms generally weren't allowed in the den while their mate was having kits... But she was remembering something her mom had told her, things she hadn't thought about since SwiftFire had convinced her otherwise. Shadowheart's dad had died while she was being born. Her mom had died after she was born. Worry lighted her green eyes. She hadn't thought about this in a long time. She'd thought she'd been cursed or unlucky or something. She hoped her mate was ok now.

Then, with awarness, the next kit was a pure black one. Ivytail handed it off the Larkpaw. Just lick it off. He'll be fine. Her focused eyes concentrated on Shadow. Ivy quickly handed her some more thyme, her heart was gaining speed. Then, the third kit started to poke out. Swift will be here soon. I promise you that Shadow. If I don't know him better than I'd say he's probably on his way. Her white teeth grinned, as she awaited the kits arrival.

Larkpaw grabbed the small, mewling kit by thecruff and set it down so she could lick it. "I'm sure he's on his way, I heard that Goldenleaf passed on the news to him." She licked the kit furiously, ruffling his fur the other way so that she could get the most of the blood off him. He mewled and mewled until she was done licking, she set him down next to Shadowheart with his brother. She pushed them a little closer to Shadowheart's belly so they could suckle. "This is coming along well Shadowheart, we're half way done." She said with a calm, reassuring smile that didn't match her heartbeat. Her heart was practically leaping out of her chest she was so excited, anyone could hear it from across camp.

Swiftfire sowely padded into the Medicine Cats' Den unaware of what was happening at the moment. "Sorry i would have came sooner but you know deputy stu--" He paused his eyes opening wide. He gasped and ran over next to Shadowheart. "Oh my gosh i'm so sorry! I didn't know!" He yelled slightly. dang he just had to be late not knoing that she was having kits. He looked to Ivytail. "I know i'm not allowed in here but please can you let me this once?" He asked her as she was trying to get the kits out. When he looked at Ivytail however he felt something bothering her in her heart. He looked inside it and got softer eyes. "You'll do fine Ivytail." He murmured to her hoping that she would not figure out his power as he awaited an answer.
