Skarlet walked towards the leaders den for the thousandth time that day. She knew she was over reacting and the kits were due near the end of Febuary. But Skarlet's instincts as a medicine cat (fox) wouldn't stop bugging her. She turned the corner of the leaders den, and was dumb founded by what she saw.
Eclipse had already had her kits. She was laying in the leaders den cleaning four small kits, still wet, one a dark brown with white spots ,one an orange tabby ,one all black like its mother but with one white stripe on its tail and one all white. ''their all male'' said Eclipse sencing the return of skarlet ''exept for the brown one''
Skarlet still stood at the entrance of the den astonished, not knowing what to say. Finally she said ''they came way to early! Are they ok!?!?''
''their all fine'' she would say. ''but I'm afraid for the tabby''
Skarlet noticed that the tabby was the runt of the litter.
