 Spottedfur : giving advice to Heavy
It was safe to say that Spottedfur was not the best cat at giving advice. He always tended to ramble off and create doubt despite trying to push for optimism. Pregnancies made him feel nervous, even if the litter wasn't his. What if Heavy didn't make it through her pregnancy? What if she passed away like Mosspond did and wouldn't have the chance to raise her kits? There were too many what ifs that he could come up with. That in itself wasn't healthy for any cat, let alone a queen.
The silver tom needed to remember that it was uncommon if a queen died after giving birth. Mosspond wasn't meant to live forever and neither would he. He assumed so because StarClan needed her more than he and Stormmask did. Although he didn't believe that, the senior warrior wondered what Heavy's fate would be. He really hoped she and her litter would get to live their lives to the fullest. Plus, more kittens meant more clanmates! It was certainly exciting for every cat.
Spottedfur heard the calico's voice and his head snapped back, his silver eyes glimmering. "Of course!" he replied with a sharp nod. "It is how I feel about her. Before she was born, I already loved her more than anything else. It's hard to explain, it's such a strong, overwhelming feeling of love."
The senior warrior paused for a moment, thinking about Heavy's question. "Yes, she was. She takes after her mother mostly, at least that's what I think," he meowed before continuing on with a grin. "Y'know, Heavy, you and your kits will do well during the birth. I'm sure the medicine cats already know that you're healthy enough to carry a litter. Kits always bring joy to our lives, even if it's sudden. I wish for the best for you and your future kits. If you need anyone to babysit, I'm always available!"

[ Spottedfur is so sweet, heavy probably will take him up on his babysitting offer ;w; Ayy, new cat!! He’s a pretty boy <3 ] Heavy »
Having lived in the medicine cat den since she had been brought to the Clan, Heavy had become quite accustomed to where everything was and how the medicine cats liked to organize their herbs and supplies. She had even learned more about herbs and their uses, absorbing in all kinds of new information that would have otherwise gone right over her head if she were still living as a loner or had joined the Clan without a broken back. While she would never become a medicine cat - the role seemed interesting and had a lot of potential, but Heavy didn’t see herself as a healer for an entire Clan, and she had witnessed firstpaw the stress a medicine cat had to endure - she had grown into a sort of assistant role. If Icepath or Stormmask needed anything while treating a patient, Heavy would shuffle herself over to give them what they needed; she even enjoyed socializing with any patient that had to stay in the medicine den for a day or so. It had taken some time, but the calico was starting to feel like she had a place in the Clan, no matter how minute of a role it was.
Currently she was helping Stormmask in the medicine den. Heavy always had spare time on her paws, and helping the medicine cats was a task she had grown rather fond of over time. It also helped her feel like part of YewClan, like she was doing something beneficial even if she couldn’t hunt or patrol for the group that had taken her in.
The long-furred molly purred contentedly as she went about her business, keeping her ears angled toward Stormmask just in case the gray tabby had anything she needed to tell Heavy as they worked.
Heavy »
moves to the nursery - @ open
Ever since arriving to YewClan, Heavy had lived in the medicine cat den. Between her infection and broken back, it only made sense that she would stay as close to the healers as possible. But now as the arrival of her kits loomed ever closer, Heavy had decided that it would be best for her to move into the nursery. She had cleared it with both Icepath and Stormmask, and even with her back still broken, she knew that if she needed anything at all, the medicine cats weren’t that far off.
It was strange, she observed, to be living inside the nursery now. Sure, she had been spending more and more time in the den making sure that Mistlekit was being taken care of, but falling asleep and waking up inside the nursery was still a new adjustment for her. She’d get used to it eventually; afterall, she had gotten used to waking up inside the dens of a Clan rather than her old den as a loner.
Not for the first time she wondered how she would be as a mother. Icepath had told her she was about a moon away from kitting, and while Heavy had begun to feel the stirrings of new life within her flanks, she had noticed her sides weren’t too terribly swollen; she was larger than she had been and most certainly rounded in her abdomen, but Heavy didn’t think she was large enough to have a big litter. At the moment she was assuming she’d only have a kit or two. That did ease the fears that remained in the back of her mind about not making it through the birth. The chances of her bleeding out or something else going wrong decreased if she ended up only having one kit or two. She shook her head; she just needed to think positively about this. One kit or four, she was going to survive and end up just fine. Icepath and Stormmask would make sure that both she and her kits would make it out alright.

ScarletdriftScarletdrift needed some time to be alone. He needed some time to think. Think about what? Whatever. Scarletdrift padded out of camp, planning on going for a walk. He walked toward the North, where the land sloped upward and became rockier. He climbed up the ridge, not caring where he put his paws. This was a bad idea. Scarletdrift slipped, tumbling over some rocks as he rolled down. He landed somewhere with a thump! His back leg hurt like crazy. It was tingling and started to get numb. He managed to hobble back to camp, before he laid down in a bed in the medicine den. He let out a cough that racked his body and decided to go to sleep. He laid back into his nest, slightly uncomfortable because of his leg, and fell into an uneasy sleep. When he woke up Icepath was standing over him, examining his leg. "I'm fine, just hurt it, that's all." He said, turning away from the uneasy expression on her face. "Is there something else?" He let out another cough, and decided to lie back down. [[OOC: Poor Scarletdrift, he must be having a hard time. Could I also have Scarletdrifts png please?]] |

Heavy »
jealous of mistlekit & amused at bubblingstar's grumpiness - @ open
The sounds of a gentle rainfall had woken Heavy that morning. Slowly she uncurled herself from her nest in the nursery, stretching out her front limbs as best she could without lurching the bone that refused to mend in her back. A few moons ago she had been hopeful that the bone would heal and she would one day be able to move about freely and run like she once had, but as the seasons dragged on with no news that her back was getting better, Heavy’s hope had dwindled. Knowing that she would never be able to run again or even hunt for herself opened a hole inside the molly’s chest that she didn’t think would ever be filled. Talking to Stemriver about her worries a few moons ago had helped, but that was back when she had had some hope. Now she didn’t have that, and she was starting to realize that she’d have to come to terms with the facts that were laid out in front of her.
These thoughts continued as she gazed around the nursery, blue eyes landing on the curled up form of Mistlekit as the tiny molly lay asleep. Don’t get Heavy wrong, she enjoyed the kit’s company and was more than happy to take care of Mistlekit, but she couldn’t help the twinge of jealousy that sometimes sparked within her when watching the kit. There had been a time in which Heavy herself had been so young and so full of life. She had been without injury, able to run and jump and play as much as she wanted. Back then she had still been Katydid, just a free-spirited loner who did as she pleased and did as she wanted. But now she was stuck in a camp unable to do much for herself.
She shook her head. The jealousy never lasted long, but she wondered if perhaps the drizzle was making her gloomier than usual. She had to remember that she was safe and, despite her broken bone, healthy as she could be. She had a permanent place to stay with cats who made sure she was well fed and taken care of. She had even made friends, some closer than others, and here she was, expecting her first litter of kits. Life had thrown a lot of curveballs at her recently, but there were some surprises that she wouldn’t take back if given the chance.
After some time of laying there, Heavy finally decided she needed to get up. Laying in her nest all day sounded tempting, but she knew that she needed to move around a bit. Pushing herself up to her front paws, the calico soon shuffled her way out of her nest and outside the nursery where she plopped back down, already tired from the short walk. Trying to move around was hard enough with a broken back, but now she had a broken back and pregnancy weighing her down. Heavy would be hard pressed to find it in her to make a lap around the camp and back.
Settling herself down near the nursery, listening to the steady fall of rain, Heavy soon noticed a familiar orange and white pelt off to the other side of camp. She rested her gaze on the form of Bubblingstar for a moment, noticing his scrunched up features and the way his tail-tip twitched back and forth as if in tandem with every drop of rain. He looked so grumpy, she thought with amusement, whiskers twitching. Was it from the rain? Heavy chuffed to herself. If it was the rain that was making him look so grumpy, then perhaps he just needed to go back inside his den. But, she also thought, he was the leader, and making an appearance even in the rain kept the Clan’s bond strong.
It still didn’t make Bubblingstar’s sour expression any less amusing, though.

 TheKeenGlint Mistlekit (Relationship pip with Stormmask) Mistlekit lay asleep in the nursery, her tail on her tiny nose. Just two moons ago, she was all alone, in the wilderness, fearing for her life that could of been claimed by foxes, dogs, or worse, the Clan cats. Now she sees that the Clan cats are the opposite of cruel and ruthless. She has been tucked safely in the nursery, with Heavy around to tell her stories. Mistlekit told her the story of how she almost escaped the camp, before she was found by Stemriver and took back to camp. She even called him "owl-face" again, but the tom was only amused of the little kit. Mistlekit is going to be the strongest and bravest warrior that Yew-Clan has ever seen! She will fight foxes and dogs, she will hunt rabbits and doves. She was going to prove her mother that Clan-cats can be nice and strong, wherever she is now. Mistlelkit opened her yellow eyes and gazes around. Heavy was not there. " She must be in the Medicine Cat den getting yucky herbs for her broken bone! " Thought Mistlekit irritability. What was Mistlekit going to do now?! It was late afternoon and it was showering. She didn't really want to get wet, but she doesn't want to stay in the nursery. Her mind suddenly flitted to the dark gray masked tom, Stormmask. Maybe she can sneak into the Medicine Cat den and ask him to bring Heavy back to the nursery? She finally settled on the idea and got to her tiny paws. She stretched her back, forming an arch and padded out the nursery, taking in the fresh air, and water droplets splashing on her white pelt. All the Clan cats were away, out hunting Mistleskit presumed. She walked through the camp and paused at the fresh-kill pile. She was a bit hungry, but her urge to be with Heavy was stronger, so she continued on. She would ask Heavy if she can get something from the freshkill pile after she returned to the nursery. She walked through the entrance of the Medicine Cat den, taking in a sight that she has never seen before. Neat herbs stacked in a pile of the different herb types. She saw Stormmask at once, tending to Heavy's broken bone. She mewed at him, intending to ask him to bring Heavy back to the nursery. |

Storm-mask
With leaf-bare well and truly set in and the weather cooling down, Storm-mask padded out of the medicine den, intent on bringing home a healthy haul of herbs. The coughs tended to surface at this time of year, and there were bound to be effective herbs out in the wild somewhere. In fact, she had an idea to make this daily task a little more enjoyable. She hoped Icepath wouldn't think her childish for it, but...
"Actually," she began, pausing just as they left the safety of camp, "I've just thought of something this morning. Why don't we make a game out of our herb gathering today?" She gave her tail a rustle, the limb looking like it might fly off! "Whoever can gather the most herbs gets to claim the juiciest fresh-kill on the pile. Think of it as my way of proving to you that I've absorbed everything you've taught me!"

((OOC: I would like to claim Brightkit! Hopefully it'll help me to stay more consistent activity-wise.))
Cat's name: Brightkit
Name change: N/A
Description: Brightkit is a long-furred, cream she-cat with blotched tabby markings that call to mind wood grain. She has a swoop of white along one side of her face, and her chest and small areas on her paws are white, too. Her eyes are a distinctive emerald green. Once Brightkit gets started on something, no cat can stop her! She tends to rush into things without considering the consequences, much to her mother and littermates' exhaustion. Her vivid imaginative faculties mean she is very good at keeping herself entertained.
- TheKeenGlint
DISCLAIMER: I understand that my cats will eventually die during the course of the game. I understand that while I may influence my character's actions and relationships, the game's random events will ultimately decide my cat's fate.

Heavy »
thinks bubblingstar is a good leader & annoyed by brightkit's energy - @ open
Against all odds three tiny bundles lay snuggled up against Heavy’s stomach.
The calico would be lying if she said she hadn’t been scared when she had started kitting. The thoughts of her broken back hindering the process ran through her head over and over again, a dark mantra that wouldn’t leave her alone. No matter how many times the medicine cats had reassured her, had told her that everything was going smoothly, Heavy had feared for not only her life, but for the lives of her kits that were making their way into the world.
But now, after a long and exhausting event, Heavy had three perfect kits at her side. Her heart swelled with pure joyful love. Heavy had never experienced such an intense and fierce love until she had set eyes on her kits. From the bottom of her heart she loved these kits with her entire being, and she swore that she would be there for them always, to protect them as fiercely as a lion and to love them as tenderly as a mother should. No matter what they would always have Heavy to rely on.
Heavy looked down at her kits, blue eyes full of fondness and exhaustion. She had already named them, aware that her kit's father had yet to step forward and claim them as his, if he ever wanted to. Heavy still had no ill will toward the father and was willing to raise their kits on her own, but as she looked at Slatekit, she could see the kit's father in the color of her pelt and the pattering of her coat. Brightkit and Thrushkit looked more like Heavy, but in time she wondered if they would show some attributes of their father as well.
Beyond their pelts and coloring, she still couldn’t believe just how tiny they were. It was hard to imagine that all cats started life this tiny and frail, and harder yet to imagine that one day her kits would be all grown and warriors in their turn.
Curling up closer to her kits, Heavy gave each of her litter a gentle lick along their heads before closing her eyes, letting her exhaustion take hold and drifting off into a much needed deep slumber.
- x - x -
In the days that followed, Heavy had watched as Mistlekit - now Mistlepaw - graduated to apprenticeship. She was proud of the kit, and glad to see that Bubblingstar had picked a fine mentor for the young molly. While she still had no strong opinions of the leader, despite having found his almost perpetual grumpy look amusing not that long ago, she could admit that he was a good leader. He knew how to run his Clan and how to keep the cats together even after the string of tragedies that had occurred some moons back.
She wondered if being a leader was akin to being a parent. Bubblingstar had to look after the entire Clan, meaning he had a lot more responsibility on his shoulders than Heavy did right now, but they both had lives to take care of, both had cats who looked up to them in need of support and routine, and they both had cats that depended on them when things went wrong. Heavy never wanted the task of being Clan leader, but she was sure she could learn a lot from the orange and white tom and use those lessons and apply them to her newfound motherhood. If she had the chance to take a moment from her kits while Bubblingstar also had some free time, perhaps she’d speak with the tom and see if he had any advice for her.
Shuffling herself deeper into the nest she now shared with her kits, Heavy noticed that, once again, Brightkit was wriggling around more than Slatekit and Thrushkit; it wasn’t unusual for the pale orange kit to wriggle about, and while there were times when Heavy found it endearing, it was times like this one where she had to stifle back a sigh of annoyance. Thrushkit and Slatekit were trying to sleep, but with Brightkit’s constant movement, her other two kits were mewling out in discomfort, clearly upset that they couldn’t get some sleep. Heavy gently nosed at Brightkit, licking the little kit with soothing strokes in an attempt to calm her squirming and hopefully get her to calm down and sleep as well.

Storm-mask
On her way back from gathering a bumper crop of herbs (marigold and oak today) and placing them in their rightful place in the stores, Storm-mask thought she should check up on Heavy. She had only given birth to her kits a few days ago, but a checkup never hurt. As she walked over to the nursery, careful not to disturb the new family, she observes the kits' behaviour, looking for any signs of discomfort. Brightkit
Of course, little Brightkit was the liveliest of the bunch. Squirming around, competing with her littermates for the comfiest spot next to her mother, she was oblivious to how much rest she was robbing the others of. Storm-mask had to wonder if Brightkit's competitiveness as an infant was a sign of things yet to come...

Cat's name: Slatekit
Name change: N/A
Description: A sleek, thick coat painted with a dusky gray is the dominant coloring on this molly. Splashed throughout the dark gray are even darker rosettes, inky black in color. The rosettes mostly dapple her flanks and back, while on her tail and forehead they appear as typical tabby patterns. Breaking through the darkness of her pelt would be a soft white chin, chest, underbelly, and paws. Her eyes are a pale yellow-green. When it comes to her personality, this feline has a remarkable amount of charisma, and she knows how to use this to charm others into getting her way. This can pair well with the fact that she has boundless energy, and rather let cats get annoyed at her by her tireless nature, she can charm those around her to find even her flaws endearing.

I understand that my cats will eventually die during the course of the game. I understand that while I may influence my character's actions and relationships, the game's random events will ultimately decide my cat's fate.

Heavy »
Continuing to try and get her kits - namely Brightkit - to settle down, Heavy almost didn’t notice the arrival of Stormmask. The calico queen lapped at her kits’ pelts one more time before raising her head and facing Stormmask with a soft, apologetic smile. ”Sorry if I kept you waiting. Was there something you needed?” The young medicine cat didn’t look to be in a hurry, but the idea of making her wait left an uncomfortable twisting in Heavy’s stomach. ”Brightkit’s already got so much energy,” she told the medicine cat slowly, once again taking note of the squirming of her kits against her stomach.
The queen shifted in her nest once more, hoping that rearranging herself, if even by just a smidge, would help ease Brightkit’s ruthless energy and soothe her other two kits. Heavy’s blue eyes blinked in question toward Stormmask. ”Is there possibly anything that could help with that? Especially now since Thrushkit and Slatekit are trying to sleep.” Heavy was no medicine cat, but she thought her question to be a bit ridiculous. The idea of giving herbs to cats who were barely a few sunrises old sounded asinine, but again, Heavy was no medicine cat, and maybe there was a herb or two that could be given to kits without it hurting their tiny bodies.
Slatekit »
with littermates & heavy - @ open
At this point in her life all Slatekit knew was comfort. Even when she was hungry or cold those feelings didn’t last long, whether it be from soon getting the milk she needed or her mother curling up all the closer to her and her siblings.
Right now she was happily curled up against the curve of her mother’s belly, warm and full after the very tiring ordeal that was nursing. Slatekit snuggled deeper into the warmth around her, fidgeting momentarily against the body of one of her littermates. Just as she was beginning to settle down, movement from her nearby sibling caused the young Slatekit to squirm in protest, a frustrated squeak escaping her tiny maw.
The familiar stroke of her mother’s tongue soothed Slatekit ever so slightly, but the dark gray and white kit still couldn’t find it in herself to fully drift off. While she had her own energy to spare most of the time, right now she was full of milk and only wanted to sleep, but until her littermate calmed down, sleep would not come to the newborn kit.
