Splashwing padded up to Moon and asked gently, "Are you able to move? If you can move, we might want to get your tail end out of the water. We can't have any of your new kits being swept away by the stream."

"So she is kitting!" Rex mewed, relief washing through his voice, "I was worried it might be something else."

The NightClan medicine cat chuckled, "What else could it be?" She pressed her paws gently against Moon's flank, "I think you are expecting four or five healthy kits." She glanced back toward the forest, "Where is Tigerflame with those herbs... Rex, get some moss and a stick."

Rex immediately sprang up and ripped some moss from a trunk in a tree, then looked along the ground for a stick. He brought them back to the medicine cat as quick as he could and set them down.

"Rex, keep soaking the moss in water. Keep your mate hydrated. You... uhh..." she looked at Rex's mate uncertainly.

"Moon," Rex cut in, rolling the moss around in the stream and bringing the dripping bits of moss to his mate.

"Yes... Moon, you keep breathing steadily. Deep breaths," Splashwing ordered softly, "And when the pain comes, bite down on this stick." She nosed the stick toward Moon's head.
