featherpool looked down on her sweet kits, how could these tiny bundles be so lovely? she wondered. after the birth her mate flamesong had refused to leave the nursery. it was so full now featherpool could hardly move. three sunrises ago these little wonders had been born, both mates felt a great sense of pride for them. " mama!" said pinekit, jogging featherpool from her thoughts. " yes sweetheart? what do you need?" featherpool asked lovingly. " i want to go outside!" the kit wailed. " wait till you sisters have got up first darling." featherpool settled the kit down and they both fell asleep again.
