(Well it’s not like Icepaw knows nothing about giving kit's birth. She'll be able to help with minor problems, but not major.)
[Icepaw heard a yowl from the nursery and ran to it quickly.]
Crap! If something goes wrong I won't be able to do anything!
[Icepaw went in and looked at SweetMoon. She ran up to her quickly and began to panic. She put her paw gently on SweetMoon's stomach to feel the kits. Icepaw was trying to remember the tiny bit she knew about kits being born, but found all thoughts straying from her mind.]

(LOLZ. yeah im like that. ppl say im hard to figure out so i just get to the point.)
SweetMoon felt tremendous amounts of pain as the kits began to move. Icepaw had arrived in time. "Ice...paw..." SweetMoon said. SweetMoon closed her eyes as the first kit emerged.

 D u s k p a w“Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.”___________________________ Duskpaw awoke in a terrified startle as the earsplitting yowl of a she-cat rang throughout the camp. Shaking the sleep from herself, Duskpaw darted out of the apprentices' den, frantically searching for any signs of bloodshed or violence. Nothing appeared out of the ordinary, but she saw Icepaw dart into the nursery, followed shortly after by Galespirit.
Sweetmoon!
The thought hit her like a monster on the Thunderpath. She pelted into the nursery, nearly tripping over herself in the process and stood next to Icepaw. The first of Sweetmoon's kits had already emerged, but more were on the way, and it looked like Icepaw was too afraid to move. At least Galespirit was licking the queen soothingly and murmuring soft words to her.
“Icepaw! What herbs do you need? I can help fetch them for you. Cobweb? Chamomile?! Borage?!”
Duskpaw's mews rose with frantic haste as she saw Sweetmoon's flank heave with great effort. She was beginning to loose blood…

She liked the dark. It was warm. It was all that she knew. She reached out a paw and felt the other one. It was always there with her, just as she was always therewith it. They were together. She felt a slight ripple in the dark, then another. Then the dark was pressing in, choking her, and she couldn’t feel it anymore.
She was scared. She was horrified. She couldn’t move. Something was happening that would change her life forever.
She was being born.
PLOP!
The pressure was gone suddenly, leaving her dizzy and confused. Where was it? She began to panic, to stretch her throat out and mew. What was that sound? She stretched her throat to express her fear and… there it was again! Was it her?
She was distracted for a moment and forgot about the other one. But only for a moment. The darkness was gone, and instead, there was light. A painful, bright light. Her eyes were still closed, yet she was overcome by it. In her fear, she kept calling to her other, ignoring the sweet and succulent smell of warm milk and the mother waiting for her, convulsing in pain at the birthing.

[Iceaw was thinking and panicing.]
"um. um. um. um. I don't know! I can't remember..... Does anyone else know what to do?"
[Icepaw had a worried look and then put the kit that had come out in front of Galesprit.]
"Lick it. I know that much. I think I need cobwebs, poppy seeds, and maybe borage leaves."

His friend was gone. She'd left him, all alone in the dark, in the warmth, in HOME. He stretched out his paws towards it, but there was only empty space, only loneliness. Then something changed. He opened his mouth in a silent yowl as the pain and pressure hit, as he was propelled through the darkness and out of the womb.
Then a brightness assaulted his closed eyes that replaced the pressure, but increased the pain. He was screaming in his head, yowling, but the sound was only a muffled mew. Wait... was there two sounds? Yes! His friend, she was here, too! And something else, something that made his forget his pain and frustration and fear...
milk.

D u s k p a w“Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.”___________________________ Duskpaw glanced at Galespirit, then Icepaw.
“Got it. I'll bring some chamomile as well.”
Duskpaw turned and pelted full speed out of the den as she saw another kit being born. She darted across the clearing, into the medicine cat's den and started to look around for the list of herbs. Quickly, she gathered a few wads of cobweb, several poppy seeds, and a mix of borage and chamomile leaves. Now staring at the pile of herbs, DUskpaw knew that she wouldn't be able to carry it all in one go. She hastily found a large maple leave and wrapped everything up, then ran back to the nursery with the bundle in her jaws. Once inside, she placed the herbs by Icepaw.
“Here! I think I got everything…”
Her flanks heaving with fear and excitement, Duskpaw opened the leaf with her paw and pushed it over to Icepaw. Her eyes widened as she realized that yet another kit had already slid out.

Joy. that was what she felt. Thsi was her friend, her brother, her partner in the darkness. She could sense him moving towards the smell that reminded her of their home, the smell of... mother. She tried to bat away the rough tongue that was cleaning her, but stumbled in her youthfulness instead, slamming her nose painfully into the ground.
The milk was warm upon his lips, tantalizingly sweet. Everything else was soon forgotten. Instincts took over. Soon, instincts would tell him he'd had enough and that his belly was full and send him off to the land of dreams.

"Thanks."
[Icepaw looked nervous. She took the poppy seeds and gave SweetMoon a few.]
"Eat those for the pain."
[Icepaw then dress SweetMoon's stomach like a normal wound.]
