Hollyleaf looked up at Mountainfur then down at the kits. "I don't have a choice. I'm the only queen in Windclan besides Streakwater and she's ill..."

"We'll bring you some extra prey then. And some Blessed Thistle, that's supposed to increase milk flow." Mountainfur added with a smile, turning to ask Whitesong for some Blessed Thistle.

"Don't forget about Borage Leaves..." Hollyleaf called after him.

Whitesong turned to see Mountainfur at the entrance. "Yes, Mountainfur?"

"Oh, hi Whitesong. Can I get some Blessed Thistle for Hollyleaf? She's going to need it." He added with a wink, looking with concern at Streakwater.

Whitesong nodded. "Yes, of course." She went to get some Thistle and Borage Leaves bring it to him. "Make sure you take very good care of her. We need her now more then ever. She's our last hope for these kits..." She meowed with a hint of worry.

Mountainfur nodded, taking the Blessed Thistle and hurrying it back to Hollyleaf. His mother had taught him about herbs as she loved them very much, but the position of Medicine Cat had been taking by her back-stabbing, lazy sister. None of that had ended well, but everything had turned out alright. He knew that mixing both Borage and Thistle would make a cat sick, and the Thistle worked better than the Borage. So he took it and trusted his mother's knowledge to keep Hollyleaf safe, the kits alive, and maybe even save Streakwater.

Whitesong nodded with a sigh, she knew Mountainfur would take care of Hollyleaf and the kits.
-
Hollyleaf smiled as Mountainfur bring the herbs into her.

[[Some kits start out a solid color and then develop markings several days after birth. Boulderkit started out pure grey, and then developed spots later on, m'kay?]]
Mountainfur sighed as he watched his mate and kits eat. They were so beautiful - the two of them. Poor Boulderkit had been such a loss, though Mountainfur could not necessarily feel a great pain. After all, he had not known the kit. Suddenly, he heard a rustle at the entrance to the Nursery. A tall, cream-colored tom and a large tomkit slipped in. The tomkit was Boulderkit's grey, but had spots and different markings.
"Hello?" Mountainfur asked the newcomers
"My name is Sycamoretail - I'm new to this Clan. This little kit here has no mother and I found him while I was in TrueClan. I named him Boulderkit, after your kit who died. He kind of looked like the kit you described. I hope he won't be a burden on you, but he hasn't actually had any milk since we found him. If you wouldn't mind feeding..." Sycamoretail stopped when he saw the new additions to the family. In total, there were eight kits.
"Oh, I'm sorry. You have... too many kits." Sycamoretail sighed. "Never mind."

[Ok.]
Hollyleaf looked at Mountainfur then turned to Sycamoretail. "I could feed him, one more kit wouldn't hurt."

Sycamoretail nodded and nudged Boulderkit over Hollyleaf. The kit sniffed, at first in confusion, but then in hunger. He quickly began to suckle.
"Thanks a million." Sycamoretail said gratefully.

Prairiefoot sauntered over to her pals Mountainfur, Whitesong and Hollyleaf. "Hey guys, what's up?" She purred and noticed to unfamiliar cats sitting with them. "Hi, I'm Prairiefoot, and you are?" She moewed at the tom, noticing a little kit sukckling from Hollyleaf. She chuckled. "I just love kits, he yours?"

"My name is Sycamoretail. And this little 'un is Boulderkit - named after Hollylyeaf's and Mountainfur's late Boulderkit." He bowed his head in reverence, and Mountainfur's expression was one of priceless horror. Sycamoretail seemed happier than pigs in a mud puddle, but one could only wonder. After all, he could talk, couldn't he? But could he still hear the animals like he once could? Would their sweet voices be gone? What about Hopper the Rabbit? Was he okay? Sycamoretail shurgged off the thought, remembering the fact that Canyonpaw was up and gone now, and Hopper had vanished with him.

"Oh yes." Prairefoot sighed as she recalled her little incident. She was devastated over Badgerstripe and Streakwater having kits together. Her trusted friend whom she loved betrayed her. Prairefoot then shrugged the thought away. "Hi!" She purred at Boulderkit.

Boulderkit didn't even look up at Prairiefoot as she greeted him.
"He's not such a social butterfly. Slow learner too, can't get him to say a word." Sycamoretail sighed. "Prairiefoot. A pretty name for a pretty cat." He winked at her, still as happy as a cat or even more so.

"Oh thank you." Prairefoot blushed. She then shook her head. What am I doing?! I'm falling for this creep! She sighed as she limped over to the freshkill pile and dragged out a vole.

Sycamoretail watched as Prairiefoot limped along. Is she okay? He picked up a nervous vibe coming from her, but ignored it. She was probably hurt.
"Thanks again. See you, Boulderkit." Sycamoretail turned and padded out of the Nursery, eager to study the new home he belonged to.

Prairefoot watched as Sycamoretail padded out of the nursery. Do I dare talk to him? She challenged herself, but simply meowed another greeting. "Hey Sycamoretail, um, maube I can show you around the territory for a bit?"

"Sounds good." The tomcat replied with a nod. He hoped Prairiefoot would be alright for a walk, she seemed pretty sore. But he dare not ask her now - maybe on their walk.

"Mountainfur doesn't he look so much like our Boulderkit..." Hollyleaf meowed with a sigh for her dead son.

Prairefoot limped quickly over to him and led him to one of their territories.
