tw - descriptions of birth complications.

The den grows heavy, the scent of blood thick in the air, overwhelming the softer scents of moss and milk. The world has narrowed to breath and pain, to the tense rhythm of contractions and the shudder of limbs that give and take with every breath.

He is not aware of the turmoil his parents face, nor that several of his siblings have already arrived—slick, crying, alive. Time drags as the fifth kit delays, suspended in silence while the others cradle against their mother's belly.

Jinglemoon speaks and pleads with Adder, though Pine doubts seriously that the tom will listen. But then a voice cuts through the noise, sharp, full of pain– the one voice Adder would be willing to listen to. Wave. Before Adder even confirms his consent, Pineheart has already pushed Peachtrot inside, mumbling a quick apology as he does so. Not for what he'd said to her, but for the shoving, though he doesn't clarify this.

He gives Adderfang a sharp look– now is not the time for him to scold. He'd done what he did for both of them, having thought the two would've at least discussed who they wanted to be present for the birth. Apparently not. He glances around the den over his shoulder, spotting Rainpaw.
