 The silver tabby tom blinked his haunting blue eyes to the sun filtering into the elder den. His eyes flickered with remorse as he remembered his dreams, just a horrible montage of the dead bodies of so many of his family members on the Thunderpath. His sister Dewkit was found dead, his mate Gorsefur, his mother drowned, his daughter disappeared. It seemed like nothing was meant to be in his home. The only thing he had left of his family was his daughter, Mistystar, who was a constant reminder of what Stormheart didn't have. His mate, Gorsefur, was the splitting image of Mistystar, and he hated that he could still see his mate in his daughter. But at the same time, he hated the fact that his daughter grew up without any family members, but... it just seemed to be too late to fix what couldn't be fixed. He knew his daughter had worked so hard to try to impress him, but he showed nothing for her. He was proud of her, in his heart, but he never showed it. She would know he was proud of her.
He struggled to his paws and exited the elder den, seeing Starshine, a RiverClan queen, and he nodded politely to her, sitting beside her.
"It's good to see more kits coming into the Clan." He mewed politely.

 The fluffy queen opens one of her eyes when she feels her kits kick in her stomach. She knew her kits would be coming soon but she wasn't sure how soon they would be coming. So instead of just sitting around and dealing with the pain on her own, Willowwind pads over to the medicine cats den. She waits outside so that way she didn't bother Dovefeather. "Dovefeather can I talk to you?" She she-cat meows softly.

xxxxxxxxxxd o v e f e a t h e r The soft mew of a queen brought the medicine cat out of her trance-like state. She shook her fluffy head gently to clear her mind and peered to the entrance of the den, blinking her blue-violet eyes at the queen. Willowwind, a queen to be expecting rather soon. Dovefeather purred lightly and was brisk in making her way to the queen, her eyes shining. Her favorite part about being a medicine cat was the kits she helped bring into the world. "Of course, Willowwind. What can I do for you? How are you feeling?" she asked a little worriedly, her ears flattening down as she sat in front of the queen. r i v e r c l a n m e d i c i n e c a txxxxxxxxxx

"My kits have been kicking alot more then usually. Is that normal near the end of my pregnancy?" Willowwind said to the medicine cat. The fluffy queen was nervous due to the fact this was her first litter and her dead mate would not be here in order to help her through this. She then also as well sits down infront of Dovefeather. The queen was absolutely a mess right now, she couldn't keep her paws from moving so much. "And I'm feeling fine right now just nervous."

 TigereyeRiverclan WarriorOne of his light brown eyes snapped open. He heard the voices of some of his clanmates as they prepared for the day. He slowly rose to his large paws. He glanced across the clearing to look at the cats who was up, no one worth his time. He began to groom himself leisurely. When he finally stood up onto all four paws he arched his back and sunk his claws into the soil. His eyes narrowed for no reason, since he didn't feel like talking to any of his clanmates like he often did he stalked over to the fresh kill pile snatched up a trout and stalked back over to his nest in the corner. He began to eat it in small bites to savor the fish.

"Thistlestreak?" Ripplepaw mewed curiously, hesitantly padding out of camp. "You're so good at playing hide n' seek" He meowed good naturedly, padding fully out of camp, looking for his sister. The young apprentice had looked all around camp and couldn't find her. He had picked up her scent and was now following her trail. Though pretty soon, he wished he hadn't suggested they play hide and seek. Because there, a few fox lengths away from him. Was the bruised and beaten body of his sister, completely lifeless, her eyes staring out into nothing. "THISTLESTREAK!" He yowled, tearing to her side and wailing. A Riverclan warrior heard him and padded to him, gently nudging him away. "No! NO! NO!"
With a gasp, Callingtale snapped his eyes open. Amber eyes flitted around the den for a moment before realization of where he was set in. Thistlestreak was gone... She had been gone for a while. The young warrior stood up and padded out of the warriors den and sighed. Finally reaching a decision, he padded over to Dovefeather's den. Though, Callingtale came to a sudden stop when he saw Willow-wind speaking with the medicine cat. So, the tom sat down, curled his tail over his paws and decided to wait until the she-cat's were done talking. While he was waiting, he simply looked at Dovefeather. No one could deny that she was beautiful. Though, according to Callingtale, he didn't like her like that. He just enjoyed being around her, because in those moments, he almost felt happy again. He liked to savor those moments in time. Though he couldn't help but wonder what it would be like. Of course, those thoughts were quickly pushed away. She was a medicine cat after all.

Starshine sighed softly as she lay in the sun, but she looked over at
Stormheart as he walked over to her and sat beside her. Having kits for her
was a bit bittersweet at the moment. Her brother would be furious when he
found out the father of her kits was the leader of Thunderclan, but she couldn't
help the way she felt for Falconstar. Her forbidden mate didn't even know that
she was pregnant and that was also making her a bit nervous.
Smiling half-heartedly at the elder seated beside her, Starshine replied softly,
"I hope they will all be strong and healthy..." trailing off a moment she set her
head on the ground and her ears went back just slightly.
"I'm afraid, Stormheart... what if my pregnancy doesn't go smoothly? What if I
end up sickly after the birth like my mother? I want to be there for my kits for
as along as I can, but..." she said and her ears went further back as her
claws dug into the ground under her.

xxxxxxxxxxd o v e f e a t h e r A slight sigh of relief managed to escape the pretty se-cat. She was glad it was just restlessness instead of the actual birthing. She didn't think she could handle that at right that moment, especially since Dreampaw was out. She gazed softly at the pretty queen and purred softly, giving her a reassuring nod. "Yes, my dear. Restlessness is simply part of the experience. Your kits are telling you they're ready," she mewed softly, craning her neck to give the she-cat a lick on the head. It was then that, with a slight breeze, she caught the faint scent of Callingtale sitting patiently outside her den. She peered past Willowwind briefly to give him a nod, a gesture that she'd be with him as soon as she could. He often came to her in need of poppy seeds to help him sleep, due to horrendous nightmares of his past. Dovefeather turned her attention back to the queen. r i v e r c l a n m e d i c i n e c a txxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Apprentice: None Sometimes, you must close b o t h eyes to see with the o t h e r eye.─────────────────────────────────────────────────
With the meow of her clan mates reaching her ears, she blinked open her sightless eyes; not that it helped anything. She sighed and, with a shake of her head sat up. Soon she was lost in her thoughts.
"Littlepaw and Lilypaw, from this moment on you will be known as: Littlelily and Lilypelt....." Littlelily grinned at her best friend as they went to sit vigil....... The two new warriors shivered with eagerness as the sun dawned on their first full day of being a warrior. "You two can speak now." Whitemist purred. "Psst Littlelily" Lilypelt meowed. "Bramblepelt is looking at you..." Then she added -again- in a soft voice. "Again? What do you mean again?" Littlelily mewed curiously. Her reward? Lilypelt stared at her. "Are you serious? He has been trying to pursue you for MOONS!" She whispered almost urgently. Lilypelt continued rambling on and on about what Bramblepelt had done. But Littlelily was lost in thought as she finally settled her yellow gaze on Bramblepelt. Everyone who would have been watching the tom, would have noticed that his ears perked up eagerly. Everyone but Littlelily........... One day, Bramblepelt padded up to her, after they had both come back from a hunt. "Littlelily? I... Can I talk to you?" He whispered. Nodding, Littlelily led the way out of camp and sat down. "Well.... I've... I.... Well you see..." Littlelily purred as she watched the tom stumble about his words. "Iloveyou." He finally said, leaving Littlelily speachless. When she looked up at him, her pale yellow eyes were glowing with happiness. "I love you too".......
Littlelily was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard the worries of a first-time queen. Sighing happily at the distant memories with her old mate, she rose to her paws and padded out of the elders den, matching the voice with the scent of Starshine. Oh, she was talking with someone? It took her a moment to recognize the scent. Stormheart. Littlelily padded over to the group of two and sat down. "Hello you two? Am I butting in on a conversation?" She meowed questioningly, giving a sweet nod to Starshine. "Starshine, if there's anything you want to talk about. You know, about kits, motherhood, anything. I'm open" Littlelily meowed, curling her tail over her paws.

 R i v e r w a l k e r RIVERCLAN WARRIOR
Riverwalker nodded at Dreampaw and glanced over his shoulder at his sister. Stormheart had padded over to her, perhaps to make her feel better
and so had Littlelily. His tail twitched. Maybe he'd been to hard on her, even a little selfish-- she was worried about something. Perhaps the pregnancy and
he hadn't even taken a moment to consider her side of things. Of course he was still irritated she'd kept it a secret, but that didn't matter. The tom padded
after Dreampaw.

The young queen lets out a sigh of relief hearing that her kits weren't coming just yet, they were just restless. "Thank you Dovefeather." She purred softly as the medicine ca gave her head head a lick. Willowwind then turns her head seein Callingtale. She dips her head to him before looking back at the she-cat. "I'll come back later if there is anything else wrong." She meows softly before standing up and padding back over to the nursery. The fluffy queen was a bit excitied and worried. She was excitited that she was going to be having kits. But she was also worried about what would happen, would something go terriable wrong.

When the RiverClan queen Starshine began voicing her fears to him, the silver tabby tom flicked his whiskers at her, understanding her fears, and having experienced them with his mate around, when she was alive, at least. She was a strong she-cat, unlike her mother, and she would be able to manage. Starshine was the kind of cat most queens would aspire to be.
"Starshine, you have nothing to worry about," Stormheart mewed gruffly. "You will survive, and you're a strong cat. Besides, if all else goes wrong, the kits will still have a father." He mewed. "Why not ask him for help?"

Starshine listened to Stormheart as he tried to comfort her, and his words
were comforting, but she just felt like she couldn't do this alone. If she asked
her mate for help, she would likely be asked to give birth in his clan, and she
didn't have the heart to leave Riverclan. It wasn't like he could leave his clan
for her either... he was a leader! How could she expect him to give up the
leadership of his clan just so he could be with her?
She looked up as Littlelily approached her, and smiled slightly at the elder
she-cat as she offered to help comfort her. She felt that she was so lucky to
have the support of her clan, even if they didn't know who the father of her
kits was. "I can't really ask for the help of my mate... it's complicated," she
said to Stormheart, and didn't want to say much more on the subject.
"I'm just nervous about the actual kitting..." she replied to Littlelily, "But I'm
sure I'll be more concerned about raising my kits once I have them."
Starshine straightened up slightly, getting a bit more comforted with support
around her. "I suppose I shouldn't worry too much... might not be the best
thing for my kits if I do..." she said softly, looking down at her belly.

Littlelily set her tail neatly around her paws with a purr. "Oh don't worry. You'll do fine. Though don't feel bad about worrying. It's always the worst at the first kitting." She meowed softly. She wondered briefly, if Bramblepelt had lived, would they have had more than one litter? The calico she-cat shook her head and smiled at Starshine. "No, you're right about that. But every queen is entitled to at least a little bit of worry. Just don't over-do it." She meowed with a humorous lilt in her voice. Looking around, she wondered how her kits were doing. Littlelily chuckled, it wasn't fair to call them kits anymore. Leopardspots was a warrior, and Dreampaw, she was a medicine cat apprentice! She shook her head and turned her gaze back to Starshine. She was curious as to why the queen couldn't ask the father for help, but she wouldn't pry. That wouldn't be nice. She didn't even ask who the father was. A queen had the right to keep it to herself if she so desired. Though Littlelily didn't ever keep it to herself, she wanted everyone to know who the father of her kits was. The elder nodded and purred lightly.

"It's perfectly normal for queens to be nervous." Stormheart mewed, his whiskers twitching in sympathy. "It's always a bit worse for the tom, though, I can tell you that. Even if he doesn't have to give birth, the worrying could kill him. Especially if you worry a lot. Just be calm, and I'm sure there won't be anything wrong with your kits. You'll be a great mother, Starshine."
He smiled at the kind RiverClan queen, and his denmate Littlelily. They reminded him of his mate Gorsefur's kitting, and then he frowned a little. He missed his mate a lot.
