Auroraskies
Skyclan Queen
It was like everyday that Firestar always amazed his mate, Aurora always saw that different side to Fire that a lot of cats didn’t see in him. The ginger tom was always thoughtful and caring towards her, loving and gentle to her. Her violet-amber eyes turned to look at the massive Maine Coon and caught him staring at her pregnant stomach and had a soft expression on her face. Moving her face until his chin was resting on the top of her head, a purr rumbled in her throat and the molly rubbed her cheek against his cheek momentarily “Eyes front, soldier.” The black and golden molly teased lightly, before pulling her head back to look at him. The mother-to-be wanted to make sure that her mate was involved in everything when it came to their kits, as it was a brand new experience for him since he wasn’t involved in his first litter’s pregnancy due to communication issues between him and Milkynight. The Skyclan queen was anxious inside, wanting to make sure that their unborn kits were safe and healthy. If it was something that Aurora was good at, it was hiding her emotions but even Fire knew her well enough to know when she got worried. But also she could tell whenever the ginger Maine Coon was worried as well, so it was a main reason why Aurora agreed to stay with Speckledmoss.. So both of them didn’t have to worry about anything happening since Aurora would have around the clock care from the medicine cat.
The two took their time as they were starting to make their way towards the nest. A small scoff escaped her before the black and golden Maine Coon nudged her head against his shoulder lightly “Behave, my favorite troublemaker. One of these days, she’s going to find some kind of stink bug and throw it at you and guess who will have to hear about it.” Aurora joked, as it was quite an amusing thought but knew that the medicine cat wouldn’t go through with it. Plus Aurora would have quite the words as since she had to share a den with her mate. After eating those herbs, she hated the after taste but dealt with it as she followed every advice that Speckledmoss had given her along with any herbs that were given to her. A small sigh escaped her before a half-grin appeared on her face and her nose scrunched up playfully when looking up at him “My step-mother was the healer of the group where I grew up, used to chase me down if I avoided taking medicine.. Quite a scary molly, bless her soul.” Aurora said thinking of Orion’s mother Silhouettefeather. The long-legged black molly had quite the sharp tongue and wasn’t afraid of voicing her opinion but the two had a great respect for each other. Once Firestar had made sure that she was comfortable sitting down, her paw went to rub her swollen stomach and a smile formed on her lips when looking down “Clearly they heard that their father was going to pick the nest and went: Boy, daddy better pick the best one.”
Her smile only got bigger when he agreed to pick out the nest in which Aurora would give birth to their kits, and purred loudly as he leaned down to lick her forehead “Thank you Love.” She quietly told him before feeling a tiny set of paws pressing against her stomach before feeling another kit starting to move. “The kits said thank you as well.” She said, watching him go towards the nest. Her violet-amber gaze watched her mate carefully as he was observing the two nests. When Fire stepped into the first nest that was mostly made of moss and reeds, it seemed like he was comfortable for a moment but his facial expression changed. Clearly he didn’t like it. Soon the ginger Maine Coon moved towards the nest that was made of moss, ferns and feathers. He settled down, and moved slightly to make himself comfortable before smiling cheekily at his mate to join him. Of course Aurora soon got up slowly and waddled towards him, she smiled softly at him when noticing that he was looking at her. Fire always gave her that extra boost of confidence during her pregnancy, making her feel so loved.
Soon Aurora settled beside Fire, and she felt his large paw resting on her swollen stomach. Letting out a loud purr, the black and golden molly rested the back of her head on his chest and made herself comfortable. “Thank you Love, we love the nest a lot. It’s perfect!.” She cheerfully said, clearly pleased with his choice. It was silent between the two, as sometimes the two enjoyed the silence and the little moments. The pregnant molly was deep in thought for a moment before speaking “I’ve been thinking of one of the names for the kits, of course we won’t know what they look like until they’re born,, but I would like to name one Scorchkit.” Aurora told him quietly, as it was a name that she had thought about when first discovering she was pregnant. The reason for naming Scorchkit? She wanted to name a kit after her mate, and of course she couldn’t just name their child Firekit, as it would be extremely confusing.. So she needed to be more creative, as Aurora played with multiple names that were related to his until thinking of the correct one when she was walking to their den to begin to tell him they were going to be parents.
