[Akemi Akemi]

Sensitive content- offscreen birth, mentions of death

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ Baby do you know what you wanna hear?​

indentThe birth was so easy that Akemi almost didn't realize it had happened. It had felt as if, one moment she was snug in her nest, and the next, there were two wet, mewling newborns at her stomach. Toms or mollies, she isn't sure, and she can't be bothered to check now. The kittens looked to happy suckling at their first meal for her to want to check under their sweet little tails. It didn't matter, really. Whatever they are, Akemi is just happy to have them here.

indentShe smiles gratefully, gazing at her kittens while resting her weary head on her paws. The smaller of the two is a spitting image of Bub, the brown patches across their body matching his black. "So that's it, then... The mystery everyone cared so much about, it's finally been solved." It twists her heart a bit, the confirmation she'd always known was coming eventually.

indentThe bigger sibling is a pure and soft white. A perfect little angel. Akemi leans over to lick their little face, warming them from the leafall's chill. It's there, as she's tending to her new child, that the realization hits her. On the kitten's white nose, the barest ghosting of ginger fur. She jerks back, nearly in shock, before going in for a closer look. She hadn't been mistaken. Not only is the kitten ginger, but their fur is longer, wispier than their siblings. 'That must mean...'

indentAkemi can't stop the tears that form in her eyes. "So, there wasn't any point in it at all." The arguments over who was the father had finally been solved, just like she had told her toms, by the kitten's soft coats. "It was both of them all along. There was nothing to fight over!" Like the waterfall in Riverclan's camp, tears spill down Akemi's face, dripping onto the moss below.

JINGLEMOON

RIVERCLAN

MEDICINE CAT

HE/THEY

30 MOONS

DINGO

The medicine cat thanked StarClan for how easy the birth of this litter had been, especially with how cold the air was becoming with leaf-bares approach. There had been no complications, no strain and soon enough Akemi's two new kits were snuggled up to their mother and enjoying their first meal, he didn't even need to guide the queen much on licking their fur the wrong way to help them with breathing and for warmth, Akemi already had that covered. He made a mental note though to request for more moss and maybe some fur, feathers and other fluffier things to try and line the nests with soon in preparation against the chiller air.

At first all seemed well, the new kits were feeding and Akemi seemed happy, smiling and eventually settling her head down on her paws. Jinglemoon had padded towards the den entrance to see if there was any new additions to the freshkill pile in order to grab the queen something freshly caught to eat-- But he paused when he caught the grief in Akemi's voice. He had heard a bit about the queen from his visits to Dagger and knew she had been the one to guide Akemi here as well, he had also treated her when she first came to RiverClan of course but hadn't wanted to push her about opening up about herself. She would do so in her own time if she so chose.

Jinglemoon tossed up on whether it might just be best to try and give her space before eventually padding back to sit in front of her nest, knowing he would do so the moment she asked but that he was a cat who would comfort first if he could. No cat should have to struggle alone after all. "I'm sorry" He mewed softly as she wept, he didn't know exactly what she was grieving about but given the kits and what she had said, he had some idea. Was there any herb he could give her to help with grief? He knew stress like this was hard on any cat but new parents it was especially hard. He winced thinking back to his friend, Wavesong with her new large litter, how one had died. How their father never returned home from that Gathering and the effect that had had on both her and the kits. Wavesong had support and friends that were basically family here in RiverClan and he hoped Akemi knew that his clanmates would support her just as much too.

"We are all here for you, whatever you've been through. If there's anything I can do to help just name it" He knew well by now though that certain wounds could not be healed by cobwebs or herbs but no matter. He would do what he could to help heal them anyway, even if it was just to lend an ear. "The kits are both lovely and very healthy too" That was a blessing he was certain of. "Do you have any names for them in mind?" An attempt to help bring her thoughts back to the present and the now perhaps, he hoped it'd help even just a little.
