The kit squirmed and mewled as she was forced out of the warmth she and her siblings had shared out into the world, the sudden change bewildering her. But she was quickly pushed towards the comfort of her mother's belly, where she curled up tightly beside her sibling, the hushed voices of many others in the room keeping her too intrigued to fall asleep. As tempting as the lull of sleep was, she still craned her head, eyes sealed shut yet still searching for the source of the noises.

[font=trebuchet ms]Luna's pregnancy had been coming along fairly well, with no complications so far- Rin could tell the kits would be due any day now, but there didn't seem to be anything to worry about.
Sure enough, as Rin finally arrived on the scene, she could see that Luna and the two living kits were perfectly fine. Though she instinctively took a long look at the two that had been cast aside, she could tell already from their stench that they had been dead to begin with. It was one thing to feel guilty for Starrynight, but stillbirth was a fact of life, and one that nothing could be done about.
Turning her gaze to the living children, she smiled softly. Moments like this- the creation of new life, as unfamiliar and potentially-terrifying as it was to all involved- were worth whatever sort of pain life could throw at a person. The children would learn that in time; whatever darkness they faced, the motley crew of misfits that they called family would be there to show them the light.
Tearing her thoughts away from her faux-philosophical soliloquy, Rin spoke up, "If you need anything else- at any time- just let me know." Some mothers required borage to produce enough milk, if she recalled correctly, and there were probably other herbs that were useful for child-rearing. It seemed obvious that she would provide whatever Luna needed, but she felt the need to make it clear anyway, just as a matter of principle.
