Riverlight padded from the nursery, and laid heavily on her side, belly swollen with kits, as she soaked up the morning sun. Winterfire observed her quietly, noting that Riverlight was very near kitting, probably any time now. Nightblaze plucked a plump mouse from the fresh kill pile and gave it to his mate, nuzzling her gently, but with unmistakable love and affection. Winterfire looked away, unable to face the reality that she could never have a mate or kits.
