The morning was still dark when Mirrorpaw awoke. It had been long since she and Galaxypaw had realized their feeling for each other. Over the time, her stomach had grown more swollen, and she'd had friend sneak her food. No one seemed to notice however- thank StarClan for that. With a soft sigh, Mirrorpaw finally prized herself from her nest and padded out into the marshed.
The air brought the slight tang of spring, and Mirrorpaw shivered. Her coat was thinning much to early, but she didn't really mind. As she began walking along, exhaustion nearly took her down in a faint. She rested beneath a marsh bush and closed her eyes. She knew what was happening- she was bearing Galaxypaw's kits, and she knew that now was the time. She rested her head on the ground and waited.
-----
Within a few moments, three kits appeared. One was a tom, mainly white with a startling black splotch around his eye and ginger stockings up his left back leg and right front leg. The second one was a she-cat, mainly black with a white splotch around her eye and two ginger stockings, one on her left front leg and her right back leg. The third one, Mirrorpaw was unable to identify because not soon afterward, it died.
It didn't take long for Mirrorpaw to realize that the two living kits were born blind, but she loved them all the same. As she mourned the death of the third kit, she wondered what she would do when everyone found out.

GalaxyPaw yawned as he awoke, twitchign his tail slightly.He sniffed about, but did not find his love not there.He sat up and instantly stood up and followed the scent out into the territory, soon finding his mate, but she was hidden so thourghly, He couldn't see her so well.
"MirrorPaw...?Are you alright...?"He called.

The gentle calling of her love woke her. The two blind kits were curled up next to her, finally content and sleeping. Mirrorpaw realized how hidden she really was- perhaps it was instinct, knowing that it was dangerous for her kits to be out in the open after being born. "I'm fine. Galaxypaw..." Good language did not grace her lips as she faltered to find the words to tell him.

He chuckled and sat down silently.
"Can I move towards you....?"He murmered.
He twitched his tail slowly, waiting for her to respond.

"If you want to, of course!" She called back, nuzzling her kits away. The tom mewed loudly, irritated that he had been awokened.

"I don't know what I'm supposed to do," she murmured sadly, gazing down at her kits. She looked up when he licked her head, giving him a sad smile. "They're so beautiful. But Galaxypaw... They're both blind."

Mirrorpaw, crestfallen enough, looked away.
----- The tom cat, blind as can be, stumbled away from his mother and tripped over his father's paws, giving out an indignant mewl and a soft hiss of annoyance. He calmed down, though, and timidly poked at the furry thing he had fallen over.

He chuckled lightly and twitched his tail, a purr coming from his throat.

The tom found his sister and poked at her, gently meowing and nuzzling her. He felt protective of his sister- if she couldn't see the world, he would always be there right beside her.
----- Mirrorpaw purred. "I think we should name the she-cat Swankit."

Mirrorpaw nodded. "Lovely!" She murmured, nuzzling each kit in turn. "And Swankit will grow to be so beautiful- I can tell!"
-----
Tigerkit licked Swankit's ear and laid his head on her shoulders.

Tigerkit pricked his ears at the sound of his voice, giving a quiet mewl.
----- Mirrorpaw nodded and smiled. "Just like his father."
