She immediately heard yowling coming from outside. Just then, Eagleheart burst in, panting. "Flowerpelt is having her kits!" Wolfwing jumped up and bounded out of the den. She didn't bother organizing her messy nest, she could do that later.
As she squeezed into the crowded nursery, a comforting smell hit her nose. It was the warm, milky smell of new-born kits. A small, white kit with gray splotches lay next to Flowerpelt, mewling with hunger. Robinheart and Leopardpaw were sitting next to her, meowing words of encouragement. "Don't worry, it's almost out. It'll all be over soon." Just then, a small, wet black kit appeared next to Flowerpelt, and immedately, Robinheart started massaging it. It coughed, and started mewling. Funny, Wolfwing thought, she looks just like Ravenclaw as a kit. Then it hit her. Mountainstar said that Ravenclaw was going to relive her life. This was Ravenclaw!
"I think that this kit's name should be Drizzlekit," Flowerpelt said, beckoning to the gray-and-white kit. "What should this one be?" Wolfwing thought for a moment, then sid, "Ravenkit?" Flowerpelt mewed, "That's perfect. Ravenkit!"
The fluffy black kitten mewed, then opened it's bright blue eyes. The only difference between Ravenkit and Ravenclaw, Wolfwing thought, is the eyes. Ravenclaw had amber eyes, but Ravenkit has blue eyes.
She looked up at the bright, morning sky, and thought to herself, Everything is perfect.
