She shook her head to clear it from the pain of her nose dive and lost her balance again. Rather than face the awesome force of gravity (and lose) again, she decided it'd be better to crawl towards her mother and the milk her instincts told her she needed to survive. And she did need to survive. Her brother would need her. She'd need him.
Upon reaching her mother's swollen side, she latched on and began feeding, side to side with her friend.
ooc: and with that I bid ye all good night, since dem kits just went through one intense drama and shall frolic gleefully in the meadows of dream land for the next few hours or so.

 D u s k p a w“Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.”___________________________ The only response Duskpaw could give was a few quick nods. Her mouth gaped open at the realization of what had just happened; she'd just given away perhaps the most obvious clue to her darkest secret. Her mother had died because she'd given birth to her. It is often that queen's contract illnesses or have complications and die shortly after giving birth, but Duskpaw had so watch the disease ravage her mother for months before she passed. Ever since the day her mother had died, Duskpaw'd always wanted to become a medicine cat, but she was never given the opportunity. Instead, Icepaw became the medicine cat's apprentice. Duskpaw had to accept her duties as a warrior by default, not choice. So, she snuck out at the times of dawn and dusk to study the herbs she'd seen Icepaw use. For moons now, Duskpaw had kept this a secret from all others.
But today, instinct took over. She reacted on primitive impulse, and now Icepaw, Sweetmoon, and Galespirit were sure to know that she was hiding something.
Her legs and paws trembling and feeling as if they were about to buckle beneath her, Duskpaw quickly lied down, tucking her forepaws under her. She could still feel her heart pounding and the blood roaring in her ears—not from running, but from fear and embarassment.
[[Alright then. Bye! : D]]

SweetMoon was trembling. as everyone gathered around her. *a girl and a boy!* she was so happy. She ate the poppy seeds that icepaw had brought her. for some reason tears flowed from her eyes. they were not tears of pain, they were tears of joy. She licked the two kits. "welcome into the world little ones." she whispered to them.

SweetMoon purred watching the two kits. "names... the male shall be... Softkit. and the female..." She thought for a moment. She saw the pattern on the females head. "Oakkit." She licked the kits softly and purred. She was glad that Icepaw and Dawnpaw were here. She was also glad GaleSpirit was here. He had helped her calm down. "Thank you... everyone." She said.

D u s k p a w“Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.”___________________________ A shudder passed through Duskpaw, from her nose to her tail-tip. She blinked the memories of her kithood away, and instead looked over at Sweetmoon and her newborn kits. Duskpaw felt a purr rumble in her throat as she saw that the queen was shedding tears of joy. She then named the kits, and thanked them all.
“They're beautiful, Sweetmoon. And they have such lovely names. Congratulations.”
Duskpaw mewed softly to the queen and purred affectionatly. Alas, her gaze fell to the ground. She knew would still be questioned by Galespirit and Icepaw about her knowledge of herbs. Sighing, she craned her head down to give her chestfur a few quick licks.
[[Lol, you called her Dawnpaw. xDD]]

SweetMoon looked up at Duskpaw. "Thank you." She saw Duskpaw shudder and asked: "are you alright?" SweetMoon had a habbit of being concerned for others.

D u s k p a w“Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.”___________________________ Duskpaw flinched as she heard Sweetmoon concerned mew. She hadn't expected Sweetmoon to notice her anxiety.
“Oh, don't worry about me. I'm fine. I'm just a little shaken up, that's all,” she paused to let out a muffled mrreow of laughter, “It's just the way you first yowled in pain made me think that—Starclan forbid—there was a raid on the camp. Anyway, I think I'll leave you to Softkit and Oakkit. Just make sure you eat those borage leaves—they'll give you more milk.”
Duskpaw mewed gently to Sweetmoon as she stood up. Waving good-bye with her tail, and not wanting to wait for Galespirit or Icepaw to start questioning her, Duskpaw padded out of the nursery and back into the apprentices' den. Curling up in her nest, she realized with another shiver that what she last said once again gave away her dreams of becoming a medicine cat.
[[It's alright. I do that a lot. :3]]

[Icepaw was curious about why Duskpaw knew so much about herbs, but wasn't going to say anything. She knew that ever cat had their own secrets. She only hoped that Duskpaw would tell her why she knew so much later.]
"Eat the borage leaves and make sure you let me or Berryblaze know if something happens."

SweetMoon laughed. "yeah. that was the first time i had felt like i was going to die." She said. "I'm glad your okay though." She nodded and twitched her tail. She ate the borage leaves. she felt Icepaw's curiousity. "If your wondering why then ask her. or tell her to come see me later and ill ask if i can tell you. K?" SweetMoon said with a smile.

Doveflight smiled over at Sweetmoon from across the nursery. The moons felt as if they were going by like days. [I think i'm going to skip ahead a bit.] She looked at her own kits. they have such twisted roots.... she thought to herself. Dicekit wriggled about, mewing something. Doveflight sat up. "dicekit?" she said, looking down at the kit. The little she-kit moved so her face was open and pointed at her mother's eyes. Slowly but surely, Dicekit's eyes opened to reveal a beautiful shade of emerald.

"No. It'll be best that we don't bother her. In time she may tell us later, but for now it isn't important."
[Icepaw said calmly. She didn't want to force something out of a cat and wouldn't want someone to force a secret out of her. She walked out of the nursery and back to the meddicinecat den.]
