Once they were all happily suckling, she turned back to Gentlemoo. "I'm so sorry." She felt it was partially her own fault Tulipapple passed. Surely she should have noticed she was kitting. Surely she should have noticed the unnatural blood loss....
But she didn't. And now she's dead. Perhaps it was her fault for not paying more attention. Maybe she'd still be alive. Maybe she at least wouldn't have been alone. Maybe she would have been at peace before she passed.

Gentlemoo gave a small nod to Coldamber,”
I suppose I ought to name them. Hmm...“ he meowed glancing at the five kits. He glanced at the creme colored tom-kit and paused,”
Songkit, Tulipapple wanted her first born to be named Songkit.” he sadly meowed he’d at least do what she wanted with the first born. He then was glancing at the next kit, the black kitten with gold stripes,”
This one looks like a bee...Beekit.” he meowed shaking his head in sorrow. He should be happy he had five healthy kits, but instead he was just sad, he looked at the brown kit with white splotches,”
Looks like a sparrow...Sparrowkit” he blinked away his tears to look at the amber tabby with spots,”
Applekit. For Tulipapple” he murmured ,”
I can’t name one Tulipkit, it would hurt me too much...” his gaze drifting past Tulipapple and towards the last kit, the white and ginger tabby,”
She looks Fiery, maybe Flamingkit.” he meowed. Gently licking his kits. He couldn’t believe it...Tulipapple was really done. It broke his heart.
