Grayfire's swollen belly made it awkward to lie down. She layed there, her orange gaze on Sandstorm. "Morning" she mewed.

Sandstorm was, like usual, in a sullen mood. Her kits tussled playfully in a corner, all but Leafkit. Leafkit usually didn't like to wrestle. Figured. Sandstorm looked up at Greyfire and sighed.
"Morn." She said softly, in a respectful but none-more-happy tone.

Grayfire felt pain ripple through her. Gentle ripples at first, the pain escalated. A giant yowl escaped her maw. "They're.......coming..." she mewed in a breathy voice.

Sandstorm rolled her eyes, standing and stretching.
"Breath and the rest is natural." She said, sitting next to Greyfire, stroking the queen with her tailtip. She figured Greyfire's mate hadn't abandoned her. She sighed, wishing the maybe Firestar could feel something for her.

((Rock did leave Grayfire to starve in the forest and she was lucky to make it to TC))
Grayfire nodded. She took deep breaths and pushed. Pain rippled through her. In a few moments a black kit lay there. She grabbed it and began to lick it and warm it up. She felt the kits heart beat. "Shadowkit" she murmered.

[[Too bad Sandstorm doesn't know that...]]
Sandstorm quickly took the kit from Greyfire like Spottedleaf had done with her first kit.
"Concentrate on the next kit. Not on this one. That way the kits are born without trouble." That was also what she had been told. It was all staged and fake, it seemed, and went unfazed by Sandstorm. She began to lick Shadowkit and smiled. She loved to see a newborn kit, and she felt whole. It was like being with her kits.

She took some more deep breaths. She pushed and let out a yowl. A black and white kit was the next to come. "Wildkit" she murmered.

Sandstorm quickly snatched up Wildkit, but by now felt no motherly love or attachment. With a sigh, she groomed Wildkit rather quickly and then set the kit next to his mother. She waited for another kit.

Grayfire tok a few more rapid breaths. She gave one final push. The last kit was a calico tom. A memory popped into her mind of her brother. "Pheonixkit" she mewed. She dragged the other two to her belly.

Sandstorm passed Phoenixkit to his mother, so that she could groom him if she wished.
"Congratulations. Three like me." Sandstorm said with a sigh, laying back down away from the Queen and by her own three kits.

Grayfire smiled. She took deep breaths. She closed her amber eyes and curled around the kits. Her breath slowing down as she drifted to sleep.

Sandstorm was somewhat tempted, but shook her head at the thought. It was wrong. And she would avoid it at all costs. With a sigh, she looked at her own kits who would soon be apprentices. Squirrelkit and Leafkit asleep, but Firekit chasing his tail like he usually did. Why had she named him Firekit?

The darkness clouding Grayfire's vision faded. A forest appeared, DrippingClan's territory. She stood at the border of SunsetClan's territory. She watched two young kits tussle on a rock. It was herself and Pheonixkit. Tears welled up in her amber eyes. She missed her brother, why did he have to die. "Why Pheonix, why?" she called out. "I'm still here" he answered, but it wasn't the kit.

"Why Phoenix, why?" A voice shook Sandstorm from her daydreams. She blinked, looking at Greyfire. The queen must've been dreaming. Sandstorm shook Greyfire to rouse her. Was something wrong?

Grayfire opened her eyes quickly. She looked up at Sandstorm, tears still lingered. She wondered what her brother had meant.

"You okay?" Sandstorm asked softly, somewhat annoyed to be baysitting the queen. She ahd things of her own to take care of. Firestar, for instance.

((Sorry, I thought I replied))
Grayfire nodded. "Just a nightmare" she mewed, I think she added silently. She still wondered what Pheonix had meant.

Sandstorm nodded. She looked around and sighed, wondering what was happening to her Clan. Hauntedshadow and then Icefire. An outrage!
