Redwind looked worried. She new she had to start pushing, but she wanted Owlspot by her side, guiding her through it. She had a huge pain in his lower stomach. She liad flat on her side and started weezing.
"Owlspot!" she wailed. Starclan help me! she thought. No later than she had thought those words her mother padded in. "Redwind, I'm here, you need to start pushing." she meowed calmly to her daughter.
"I can't....." she whispered, panting heavily. Browntail poked his head into the large nursery. He took a deep breath and saw his sister's pain. He swiftly ran up to the dark orange she-cat. "Redwind, let Starclan guide you, they're here for you." he whispered. "But I don't want Starclan! I want Owlspot!" Redwind hissed. Redfoot gasped just hearing the words. She looked around. "I'll be right back." she meowed, nudging her son, showing him to follow her.
The two cats walked out of the nursery and saw Icestar padded up to them. "Redwind kitting?" the black she-cat asked gentally. "Yes," Redfoot replied, "but she's being stubborn, no Owslpot, in sight."
Icestar blinked. "Browntail, can you go to the forest and follow the Beachclan patrol that was sent out." she meowed, "he should be with them."
Browntail nodded and ran off toward the entrance. "Redfoot, try to find Quietshadow, and tell him Moonstream going need some borage and other herbs for kitting." she ordered. Redfoot nodded and padded off.
Icestar padded into the nursery and looked at Redwind. "Redwind, you need to start pushing, your kits will die, you don't want that to happen right?" she meowed calmly. "No," Redwind whispered, she wimpered a little bit. Icestar nodded. "It's for the sake of your kits, if you don't start pushing now, then your kits will die." Icestar whispered. Icestar crouched beside Redwind.
Redwind laid her head down and starting pushing.

Moonstream was partly grateful for the help from Icestar, but also irratated. This is my job! She shook away her irratation, turning back to Redwind. "Good, Redwind. You're doing great. The first kit should come soon," she meowed encouragingly.
OOC: We should skip the kitting, right?

Coppertail stood outside the camp searching for any sign of his brother. "Owlspot!" he yowled out, hoping he would hear.
"Coppertail?" a voice croaked back. Owlspot was running slowly back to camp, his tail dragging along behind him.
"Redwind's kitting!" Coppertail meowed, running to his brother. "You have to hurry!"
His muddy blue eyes brightened and he suddenly picked up the pace. "Why didn't you say so?!"
Rolling his eyes, Coppertail trotted after his brother who had made a mad dash to the Nursery.
"Redwind!" Owlspot cried, pushing his way into the Nursery. "Redwind, I'm here." He crouched down beside his mate, licking her ears fondly.

Redwind's eyes glowed as she heard her mate's sweet words. "Look!" she purred loudly. She had four lovely scraps of fur right in front of her. She licked one while Icestar licked another. Icestar was licking one that looked like Owlspot. Redwind was licking a brown one.
Icestar looked up at Owlspot, "congrats," she purred. The black leader looked at Moonstream. "Are they healthy?" she asked.
Redwind licked her mate's cheek as she nudged him. "Where's Browntail and Redfoot? I want them to come and see." she purred.
Shadowsoul watched Rainkit slide down into the nursery. She started to sniff the little scraps, they were about three moons younger than her. "Be careful, they're little," Shadowsoul meowed. Rainkit ignored her mother.

Owlspot smiled proudly at Redwind and his four kits. "They're lovely," he purred.
Coppertail sat awkwardly licking on of the four kits. The medicine cat had told them to lick the kits to keep them warm and to help get the blood flowing. He glanced up at his brother smiling.
"They look like you," he commented," Spots and stripes."
Owlspot laughed. "I suspose they do." He turned to Redwind, his gaze tired but soft. "Any idea for names?" he asked.

Moonstream nodded to Icestar. "Yes, they're very healthy," she smiled warmly at the four bundles of fur. "If you'll excuse me, I'll be right back with some borage." She slipped out of the Nursery, scurrying to the medicine cat den and peeked inside. It looked fairly quiet, considering the current problem. She padded inside, sniffing among Quietshadow's storage for the borage leaves. When she found some, the silver medicine cat slipped back into the Nursery with the leaves in her mouth.
"Redwind, you need to take these to help produce milk. Can you do that for me?" she asked. Moonstream knew that the she-cat was tired. Her mentor had told her that kitting was a tiring affair. She just hoped that she had enough strength in her so she could name them. The medicine cat was required to give a full report to the leader, unless the leader came him/herself.

Redwind smiled and lapped up the borage leaves, as Moonstream ordered. "Owlspot, I have a few names," she meowed. "I want this she-kit that looks like you to be Waterkit, to show that she was the first one born in Beachclan, of Aquaclan." she purred. "You have any names?" she asked him calmly. She wasn't tired at all, she had slept a lot since the fire, but then again she was hungry, since she didn't want to take food from the Beachclaners. [if thats how you spell it! DX]
"Owlspot," she started, "I love you, and that will never change, even when we walk the stars of Starclan, I need to show you something." She stretched out and touched her nose to Waterkit. "She's going to be wonderful, and I want her to be the one that will succeed and solve and turn around your father's history." she meowed. She smiled and then frowned. She hoped she hadn't hurt his feelings, she wanted her first born to be inportant, and not end up like Burntstar was.

Owlspot looked from Waterkit to Redwind and then finally to Coppertail.
"She's right," he meowed, looking at the tiny spotted kit," She looks like you and it might not be easy for some cats to forget that you planned that whole BurntClan fiasco."
Owlspot grimaced. As if he needed reminding. He swallowed and smiled weakly at Redwind.
"Of course," he purred, licking Redwind's cheek. "She is my first born and will prove that Burntstar's family is not that bad. And she will do it alongside her siblings."
He glanced at each of the remaining kits trying to choose an appropiate name. "What about Leopardkit?" Most of the kits had spots and stripes like he did so it seemed like a fine name for one of them.

Moonstream felt like she was intruding on the family. But she wasn't sure if she should leave. What if Redwind needed her? What if something happened? Stop with the what ifs! she snapped at herself. Someone will tell you if something goes wrong. Don't be such a mousebrain all the time. She smiled at the couple and their new kits before saying, "Redwind, Owlspot, if you need anything, I'll be in Quietshadow's den, all right?"

Redwind smiled at Owlspot. "Thanks," she purred, licking his cheek back. Then once he through out Leopardkit, her eyes glowed. "That's wonderful," she purred. She licked the small scrap of spotted fur that Owlspot was focused on.
Redwind pushed all her kits more into her stomach, even though it was very sticky and warm out in Beachclan, she wanted to get used to the warmth thing. "Owlspot, what happen to our home?" she finally asked him. She looked worried. Our kits can live here forever! she thought sadly.

"I haven't exactly seen the full extent of the damage," Owlspot murmured," But I don't think it is good."
Coppertail winced at Redwind's question. Could he really throw out his brother, Redwind and their kits? It would be wrong. But they can't stay here, there's just not enough room and prey...
He shook his head, dismissing the subject. "Don't worry about that Redwind," he meowed," Everything will be fine. What about a name for the little brown kit?" He hoped that naming the kits would distract her from her worrying.

Redwind took a sigh as Owlspot tried to calm her. She looked at the small brown scrap of fur that was closest to her tail. She smiled as she licked it's small head. She looked up at Owlspot and smiled. "How about Mudkit?" she purred. Her happy meter was now very high, knowing that her kits will succeed in life.
ooc;
Dewkit for the last one right? I'm not quite sure. Or is it Deerkit?

occ:// Dewkit is correct.
"Mudkit sounds great," Owlspot purred," His fur is the perfect colour of brown." He turned his gaze to the last unamed kit, a small spotted tom like himself. "How about Dewkit?" he meowed.
Coppertail turned to Shadowsoul, the other queen sharing BeachClan's Nursery. "Do you have enough milk to nurse your kits?" he asked, softly. He glanced at the kits she held close to her, knowing that if she couldn't feed them they would soon die.

Redwind smiled and licked his ear, saying yes, in a way. She turned away and watched her kits like a hawk, she would have to do this for six moons, so mine as well get used to it. Redwind sighed and wanted to get up and walked around, but also she was very tired, she didn't want to yawn, then Owlspot would want to leave her to rest. She sighed and kept her eyes wide open. All she did was lie down and watch Owlspot's sweet gaze.
Shadowsoul looked up at Coppertail and sadly meowed, "no milk, there is no borage in sight."
She looked down to see Rainkit close by her, Rainkit looking as small as she is and was, looked starving in her eyes. As he old kittypet blood still flowed through her, her kit looked as skinny as the Twolegs who would run on the side walk every morning. The black queen let out a sigh and licked Rainkit, who was now complaining for food.
"It's okay, you'll eat soon, I promise," she whispered, grooming the grey kit. She looked up at started at Coppertail. "Have you seen Scarletmoon?" she asked politely. Shadowsoul was starting to get worried, she hasn't seen her mate all night. She looked at Redwind who was smiling at her mate.
Shadowsoul felt lonely now that she hasn't seen her one and only love. She walked out of the nursery, Rainkit following her. "Scarletmoon," she wailed. She watched as only Silentstep had heard her.
"It's okay, he went hunting, I'll tell Moonstream there is no borage in sight." the elder meowed, trying to calm the queen.
Silentstep limped off to the medicine cat's den. "Moonstream, no borage inside or outside of camp." she informed. She poked her head into the den, seeing Moonstream gathering some herbs.

Owlspot crouched down and curled up in a small ball. Redwind might not be of been feeling tired but he was exhausted. His throat burned from the smoke and when he breathed his chest became tight. Owlspot really shouldn't had ran to catach the patrol.
"It's okay Coppertail," he murmured," I told the patrol to bring Flaxeyes. She should have milk..."
Coppertail nodded at his sleeping brother and turned back to Shadowsoul. "My sister should be able to help nurse your kits. In the meantime, sit tight and I will find...Scarletmoon?"

Shadowsoul walked out of the nursury, her starving kit behind her. "Scarletmoon?" she called. "Scarletmoon?" she repeated. The queen walked over to Silentstep, who had honey gathered onto a big wad of moss. "I think he went to check out your territory," she meowed softly. The black elder limped over to the medicine cat's den. Shadowsoul followed.
Shadowsoul beat Silentstep there and ran over to her barely breathing kit. "Twilightkit!" she wailed, sniffed the scrap of black fur. "Help! Help!"

Coppertail grimaced and turned to Emberlight. "I know this is hard for you but is it possible for you to suckle at least one of Shadowsoul's kits?"
The ginger tom heard the black queen's cry and his amber eyes widened in concern. "Quietshadow!" he hissed loudly," Icestar! Jaystar!" Coppertail was struggling to control his anger. He had specifically asked cats to organise that everybody was seen to by a medicine cat and any promblems dealt with but still nothing had been done about Shadowsoul's kits. Yet again, it was him who had to take charge and fix this mess.

Icestar padded up to Coppertail, knowing exactly how he felt. "Coppertail, send out another hunting patrol, I got this," she ordered. Before she padded away from her deputy, she said, "the apprentices are at the forest, maybe go to the Beach or Palm tree and see what you can find," she meowed. "Tell Jaystar that you'll be putting his warriors to work."
Icestar padded up to Emberlight, "Can you please suckle another kit?" she meowed softly, trying to keep calm, even though she was in complete chaos. The black she-cat blinked at the queen and walked over to Owlspot, "have you seen Shadowsoul's mate, I would like him either to be hunting or calming her down." now Icestar was getting angry. She noticed that most of the Aquaclan cats were either no where to be seen or sitting around while her warriors were out and about feeding them.

"Yes Icestar," Coppertail meowed, feeling silently relieved. Some hunting would be nice and he would be able to tell the apprentices about Redwind's kits. Meowing a quick goodbye he darted out of camp.
"Scarletmoon?" Owlspot meowed, raising his head slightly. "Haven't seen him I'm afraid. I have been in FrostClan." With that, he lowered his head again and curled into ball beside his mate. If Icestar had meant to order if him, she would have to think again. His throat was sore, his legs ached with running and the pain of Faintspot's death was still raw. All he wanted to so was sleep with his mate and kits at his side. Bliss.

Icestar was now getting really mad now. "It's either you go do what I say or Aquaclan is gone! Beachclan is feeding you, giving you a home! And all your doing is lying around doing nothing! I've worked my tail off, you know what, all my warriors, and even Quietshadow, has worked their tail off the past few days!" she spat, angerly. "Now get out of my territory, or go and make yourself useful." Icestar hissed, walking out of the sandy hollow of a nursery.
Redwind looked down at her kits. She then turned to her mate. "I'm sorry," she meowed. "It's my fault your tired, and it's my fault you were yelled at." she meowed softly.
Icestar padded out of the nursery and headed over to the medicine cat's den. "Jaystar," she spat. Without letting the tom say a word she spat out, "your warriors are doing nothing! I've been feeding and giving them a home. My warriors and I have busted out tails off to help you, it's either you put your warriors to work or leave my territory." Icestar padded over to Quietshadow. "I can't take this any more." she hissed into his ear. Icestar walked out and headed to her den, she hasn't sleep in two days.

Owlspot simply glared at Icestar. AquaClan were doing the best they could do in the situation given. Most of the warriors, including him, were suffering from smoke inhalation and couldn't go hunting because they were still finding it hard to breathe.
"It's not your fault," Owlspot meowed tiredly, rising to his paws slowly. "I should've sent somebody else to catch up with the patrol." He rubbed his muzzle against hers before leaving the Nursery.
Scarletmoon better me doing something useful.
Coppertail searched the camp for cats free to go hunting. "I want any warriors and apprentices over here for hunting! That includes AquaClan. Now move!" he yowled.

Silentstep walked up to Owslpot. "All of the apprentice's went out to the forest to hunt, gather some warriors and follow Coppertail to where he went off too." she meowed softly. "I know that it's been hard and please forgive my sister, she's just stressing from the fact of you cats being here." Silentstep padded over to the warriors den. "Browntail, get up." she hissed. Browntail rose to his paws slowly and padded to Owlspot. "Sorry, I've been sleeping all morning." he confessed.

Owlspot dipped his head to Silentstep. "I'll go look around then. I haven't gone hunting with Coppertail for awhile." He turned to his brother and winked.
The ginger tom rolled his eyes. Their old hunting trips had hardly followed the Warrior Code.
"We're just going into the Forest," Coppertail reminded his brother. He turned to the tom Silentstep had called Browntail and immediately recognised the one-eyed rogue from the BurntClan battle and the river skirmish. Oh StarClan, why him?
From past experience he had found Browntail less than friendly.

Browntail yawned and then looked at the ginger tom. "Hi, I'm Browntail, Redwind's brother." he meowed nicely. He noticed the look on the deputy's face. He remembered Faintspot's same 'look' when he came back home. He looked at Owlspot and gave him a worried look. Trouble's coming. he tought.
Browntail sat down and yawned again. He wanted to go back to sleep, but he has been sleep for about a moon, as if Icestar decribed.

"Yes, Browntail," Coppertail murmured, wrinkling his nose up slightly. "The same one-eyed rogue who insisted on sticking his claws in my side? Correct?"
Owlspot saw Browntail's expression and stepped in between the two toms. The last thing he needed was Browntail risking AquaClan's temporary home by attacking the deputy of BeachClan. "Come on now," he meowed desperately," We're all family here. Let the past rest."
The ginger tom frowned, his amber eyes still burning. This is going to fun...

Browntail looked at his paws. He sighed and stayed next to Owlspot, walking to the forest. He new no cat had liked him. No cat, not even Nightshade. The cat who he had made friends with during when he was in Burntclan. "I can't take this anymore," he muttered under his breath. He looked at the sunset. Atleast he was going to see his only 'real' friend, Dragonpaw.

Scarletmoon padded into the clearing with a rabbit, a pair of mice, and a squirrel hanging limp from his jaws. He set them down, and picked up a mouse and brought it to the nursery and found Shadowsoul, but the mouse fell from his jaws as he noticed Twilightkit. "No!" He meowed helplessly. He nudged his kit. "Starclan please no" He begged his ancestors.

Twilightkit coughed and her eyes opened and closed again. "Dad," she barely said. She coughed once more. "NO! STARCLAN PLEASE! MOONSTREAM!" Shadowsoul wailed. "HELP!" she yowled. She laid down next to her kit and started to lick it, trying to keep it warm.
Redwind's eyes flung open. "Shadowsoul?" she whispered. She wanted to get up but looking at her kits made her not want to. "Moonstream." she whispered.
