Auroraskies Skyclan Queen Aurora waved her tail in farewell as Firestar led Scorchkit and Thornkit out of the camp and into the Birch Woods. While the black and golden Maine Coon was very nervous for Firestar and their boys, she knew that the boys would have fun in the end while learning how to climb trees properly.. Her boys also were well known for causing mischief around Skyclan, so she was sure that the two would have something up their sleeve when they’re with Firestar. Turning back to look at the nursery den, she knew that Tumblekit and the girls were asleep within their daytime nest, Primrosekit wanted to sleep in their usual nest in hers and Firestar’s den.. But thankfully she was able to convince her little firecracker daughter that it would be best to stay with the others in the nursery so Prim can easily go play with Ryekit later.
Letting out a soft sigh when sitting down, Aurora’s tail tip brushed gently against her slightly swollen stomach before her tail went to wrap neatly above her paws. It had been a couple of days since Aurora and Firestar discovered they would become parents to another litter, such exciting news to them. After their trip to the medicine cat den, they had brought their kits into the leader’s den and told them the news. Although Primrosekit and Thornkit groaned (Typical big sibling behavior) The other kits seemed happy with the news and were already bouncing around with name ideas. Although she was pregnant again, Aurora wanted to make sure that her first litter got the love and affection that she would give them even if she wasn’t pregnant.. As her kits were growing up too fast, and soon they would be leaving her watchful eye to start their warrior training.. But the kit that seemed to have developed her own personality straight away? Cosmokit. It was ironic that Cosmokit was named after Orion, as she already took after her uncle.
A bright idea entered Aurora’s head, as she thought of something. Usually the kits were full of energy to explore the camp, sometimes they liked to find odd looking stones and bring them to Aurora and explain how they found it. Aurora decided that she would organize a treasure hunt for the kits, it would be a fun activity to do. She asked Granitemask to help, as the silver tabby warrior had left camp to find a couple of rocks and some shells from the Secluded Falls to hide around camp. One kit would have to search for a tiny shell and shiny stone. Once the pregnant molly finished hiding the little objects, she turned around just in time for Cosmokit leaving the nursery and entering the camp clearing. The little ginger and black molly yawned and rubbed her eyes “Comsokit!” Aurora greeted softly, going towards her daughter and gave her a kiss on the forehead. “Did you sleep okay?” The black and golden molly asked her daughter gently before grooming the top of her daughter’s head, smoothing the pieces of fur that were slightly sticking up
“My little Cosmo, since you’re the first one awake.. I have something special for you and the others to do.” Aurora said, a half-grin appeared on her lips as her violet-amber eyes scanned the clearing “I’ve hidden four shiny stones and shells around our camp, they’re for you to keep if you choose” The black and golden molly said, before looking back at Cosmokit “You must find and bring me: One stone and one shell, if you all wish to have honeycombs tonight!” She said cheerfully, as she knew her kits enjoyed the sweet treat after their dinner. Aurora wouldn’t deny it, but she enjoyed spoiling her children. Watching Cosmokit’s eyes lit up in excitement, she watched as the kit got up and began padding towards the middle of the clearing. Of course Aurora will be following her daughter, and giving her hints when needed.. But she knew that Cosmo would be up for the task, she was quite the smart molly.

Watching her daughter with a soft expression on her face, she leaned down and pressed her nose gently against Cosmokit’s head. Did Aurora and Firestar know that they spoiled their children endlessly? Yes. Would it stop? No. Their children deserved it, as they were so behaved and loved.. But they were especially loved by their mother and father. Looking at the tortoiseshell kit, she watched as Cosmokit got up and wandered around the camp with a grin on her face. Aurora enjoyed doing activities with her children, not only was it spending time with them but also they were also learning as well. Like right now, Cosmokit was working on her tracking skills. Although it was a bit tiring to wander around the camp in attempts to throw off her daughter, she knew that the kit would eventually figure out where a shell would be. A loud purr escaped the pregnant molly as her tail started waving in happiness when Cosmokit arrived with a small pink shell in her mouth, and placed it in front of her paws
“I was hoping that you would find that shell, it suits you.” Aurora said softly, as Granitemask had found a light blue shell and a yellow one as well. When her other two daughters were awake, Primrosekit would eventually find the light blue one while Beekit found the yellow one. The colors suited her daughters, and they could show off their little treasures to their father.. Who also got a shell from Aurora from one of their dates during the time that Skyclan had stayed with Riverclan when Karma took over their camp. Raising her paw so Cosmokit and chuckling when her daughter gave her quite an impressive high five, as her daughter wasn’t as tall as her brothers but had their strength and was broad like Firestar.
“Alright, we’ve got a pebble to find.. Then we have something else to do!” She said, watching Cosmo getting up and raising her nose to sniff the air when going to the middle of the clearing. The black and golden Maine Coon got up and slowly followed behind the orange and black kit. Her paws were slightly sore, of course that was pregnancy and it’s many effects. Her little Cosmo was quite a little helper, as her daughter was the one that gathered all her siblings together whenever Aurora needed to speak with them. Cosmokit was very wise for her age, mature as well. She hoped that her daughter didn’t think this was too childish for her, and generally enjoyed it.. As Aurora wanted to make sure that her babies were happy and healthy, enjoying their kithoods.
Watching Cosmokit, she wondered how her daughter would grow up to be.. Aurora knew that her daughter was going to be an incredible molly and warrior, as she had such a heart of gold. A feeling of protectiveness had overcame the mother, as she thought about each of her kits.. Including the ones that were growing inside her, how she would still love them fiercely and look after them even when they were all grown up.. Good stars, she hoped that her kits didn’t think she was an overbearing mother.
C O S M O K I T
There had been a bit of commotion among her siblings today. Her brothers had gone out earlier with their father to practice tree climbing. She knew they were excited to learn how to climb, but probably even more excited to have the privilege of going outside of camp before their sixth moon. How spoiled they were by their parents, she mused to herself. She hoped they were grateful that they were fortunate enough to be born under the Clan leader and that they were able to do those kinds of things that other kits couldn't.
Though, she doubted that her siblings thought of things the way she did. They seemed to be much more interested in playing and goofing around, like kits should, as opposed to herself, who had been mindful of helping her mother more than causing mischief. Their mom had told them recently that they would be getting more siblings soon, and Cosmokit understood that it meant that Auroraskies would be exerting more energy than most queens with current kits of their own. She had done her best to help her mother out with her siblings and to take some of the weight off.
She left the nursery, heading over to join her mother outside in the clearing. She waited patiently for her mom to groom her and listened attentively when she told her that there was a game that she could play with her siblings. "Okay!" she purred quietly. It wasn't often that she allowed herself the leisure of doing the things that most kits did, but her mother had gone out of her way to make this game for them and she would do her best to participate.
The tortoiseshell kit was off in a flash, figuring that if her mother had placed the stones and shells around camp, all she had to do was follow her mother's scent. However.... Her mother's scent was all around camp. It was hard to pick one or two places that Auroraskies had been. Luckily, she was able to pinpoint one scent that seemed the freshest and she followed the trail over to the outside of the elder's den. Nearby, she spotted a bright pink shell nestled near the edge of the gorse. Satisfied with her find, Cosmokit picked it up and brought it back to her mother, where she placed it proudly at her paws.
