Riverstar's Home/Chapter 34

==Chapter description==
:Riverstar rushes to the medicine den, fretting over his mate. Finch attempts to reassure him that she has done this before. Croak leaves to find a strong stick for Finch to clamp down on, and Dappled Pelt encourages Riverstar to keep himself and Finch calm. Riverstar and Finch slow down their breathing to relax, and soon the first kit is born: a silver she-kit. As Finch and Riverstar greet their firstborn, Finch groans in pain. Dappled Pelt snaps at Riverstar to keep Finch breathing. Realizing that the calm medicine cat is worried, Riverstar attempts to reassure his mate. Dappled Pelt admits that the second kit is stuck and she needs Finch to relax so she can move it. As Riverstar comforts Finch to synchronize their breathing, the second kit is born: a black tom-kit. Dappled Pelt orders Croak to take the she-kit to the other side of the den while Riverstar quickly laps the second kit, who is not breathing. Desperation drives Riverstar to lap harder, and soon, the tiny tom-kit wails. A third kit is born, a gray tom-kit, and Dappled Pelt gathers the three newborns to Finch's nest.
:Alone now in the den, Riverstar and Finch fawn over their family. Finch is pleased that she accompanied Riverstar back to RiverClan, and she vows to one day earn her warrior name. Her mate reassures that he will grant her one after the kits are weaned. The pair then name their kits: Ripple Shine for the she-kit, Dusk Smoke for the gray tom-kit, and Arc Shadow for the black tom-kit after Arc. RiverClan's warriors are eager to meet the newest litter. At dawn, Riverstar sits by the river and thanks it for leading him to where he belongs. His anger towards the river for taking him away from the Cats of the Park is gone. Riverstar knows that he is meant to be here as a leader, warrior, mate, and father for his Clan.
