Dappledleaf squeezed out of the nursery and was immediately met by a nervous Frostfire. "How is she?" she spotted she-cat ask.

"It's not what the others have at least," Dappledleaf meowed. "She doesn't have a cough... It's just the fever. And... you know, the heartbeat."

Frostfire sighed. She's been out for a walk around the outside of camp when her sister had started panting and then she'd just collapsed. Frostfire had managed to drag her back to the nursery before fetching the medicine cat. She slipped into the nursery and went over to Speckleheart's nest. "How are you feeling?" she asked gently.

The queen groaned. "I've felt better," she meowed. "Dappledleaf says I've got a fever..." For the first time since her heart diagnosis, Frostfire thought she saw some worry in her littermate's eyes. Frostfire glanced down at Speckleheart's swollen belly.

"Don't worry!" Frostfire mewed, trying to sound enthusiastic. "Soon your kits will be born and you'll be better and... everything will be fine, yeah?" she meowed, nudging her sister's shoulder.

Speckleheart purred and nodded. "Thanks, Frostfire."

Nettlepool was sitting by the nursery entrance with his ears flat against his head. Ivypaw sat next to him and was trying to reassure her littermate that Speckleheart would be fine but was having very little success.

Frostfire licked Speckleheart's forehead. "Get some rest, okay?" she asked. Speckleheart nodded. She slipped from the nursery and immediately went over to Ivypaw and Nettlepool. "I shouldn't have taken her out," she meowed to Nettlepool, shaking her head slightly. "I'm sorry..."

"We've been out of camp before with Thymestep," Nettlepool meowed shaking his head. "She was fine."

"I didn't know she would just collapse like she did," Frostfire sighed. She looked to Ivypaw with her ears back. "Do you know if she's going to be okay?" she asked.

"I don't know," Ivypaw meowed softly. "A fever on top of expecting kits is hard on any queen but add in the problem with the heart, this might not end well. But she's strong and could surprise us all."

Frostfire nodded. "Of course she's strong," she meowed. She glanced at Nettlepool and tilted her head slightly. "How are you handling this?" she asked.

"As well as can be expected," Nettlepool meowed with a small shrug.

Frostfire sighed. "I can't wait for these kits to be born," she meowed. "I don't think I can take the stress much longer. My littermates are all I have, you know."

"You can't take the stress?" Nettlepool asked. "Take what you're feeling and multiply that by about a hundred then you'll get what I'm feeling."

Frostfire's ears twitched. "Whatever," she mumbled.

"You're both worried," Ivypaw meowed. "And that's understandable."

Frostfire twitched her tail tip. "She's my littermate. What gives him the right to tell me I'm not as worried?" she asked.

"She's my mate," Nettlepool meowed.

"He dosen't," Ivypaw meowed. "But to be fair I don't think you've been all that concerned about her before at least that I've noticed."

"She was fine before," Frostfire meowed, though it sounded more like she was trying to convince herself. "She was fine and now she's dying, isn't she?"
