Shafts of light filtered in through the brances of the wasrriors den, waking Braveheart. The flame coloured she-cat felt strange.... She looked down at her belly. It was definately bigger than usual. She felt something push against her side..... from the inside! I'm pregnant! she thought, excitment and fear running through her at the same time. Being careful not to wake her sleeping Clanmates, she made her way outside. Her tummy had been feeling like this for several weeks, but it had been fairly normal-sized. But today.... She grabbed a squirrel of the fresh-kill pile and sat sown to eat, devouring her meal in a few quick bites.
As she groomed herself, she suddenly felx exauhsted, despite the fact that she had not been late to her nest last night; nor was it particularly early. Then she remembered: When a she-cat was pregnant, or giving birth to very small kits, she would be very tired. When she had finished grooming, she sat bolt upright, stifling a gaping yawn, and waited for every cat to wake up. She yawned again; I'm so tired, she thought. Padding back into the warriors den, she collapsed into her nest.

LITTLESTAR
littlestar stared at a huge golden brown tom with the same blue eyes as his. the cat started to fade away as he began to drift back awake but his words rang out ever so clearly to littlestar that it had been haunting him ever since the fire had passed. "danger is still among you littlestar. be careful where you step, if you do not then the clan will fall."
the tom woke, he looked around but thornstar was not there, nor anywhere. littlestar got to his paws, not wanting to relive that dream, but his father's words still haunted him. what does he mean by that, does he mean that there is more danger to come. well whatever it was, he knew that he has to keep his clan safe no matter what.
he stepped out of his den and watched as the stars started to fade away and the sun was beginning to show its light. then he forgot all about his father's words as he spotted braveheart lying there on the ground eating. he walked over to the fresh kill pile and grabbed a mouse. as he came over to his mate he saw her a bit chubbier than before. but he blinked the thought away like he never saw it before though it still knawed at him. "how are you?" he asked then saw how tired she was "had a bad sleep last night."

"Had a bad sleep last night?" Braveheart had not yet made her way into her nest when she saw Littlestar. Turning towards her mate, she meowed, trying to sound normal, "Well, no, actually. I had quite a good sleep, thanks, but I'm still tired..." She went on more softly, as if it was a secret no cat was meant to hear. "Littlestar, I'm pregnant!" A lance of pain shot through her as tiny paws struck her belly form the inside. If this is what it feels like to be pregnant, then I hope this pain doesn't happen very often.... She winced noticeably as another lightning bolt of agony shook her belly. She felt like she was gasping for air; her head spun with dizziness.
She wondered what would happen when she had her kits, seeing as there was no medicine cat or even a medicine cat apprentice at the current time. Her mind was whirling with the pride of becoming a mother, the fear that she might die while giving birth, as well as the fear that one or all of the kits might die, in the process of being born or afterward.

littlestar blinked in surprise as braveheart spoke her last words in nearly a whisper. he couldn't help but smile in delight, he was going to be a father. how great that was going to be, and this time they will know their mother and father, and won't have to go through what he had gone through.
oh how he couldn't wait to tell ravenleaf this, though she may be a little sad that she might not be able to see them till they are apprenticed. then worry clawed him in the chest when he thought that thunderclan still doesn't have a medicine cat. well hopefully there would be one soon so nothing really bad would happen to braveheart and the kits.
then he saw her wince, he looked at her, worry in his eyes. for sometime his emotions seem to show though pretty much when he was around braveheart. like the last time was when he fear had took him over when braveheart was trapped in the fire or when the tree was coming down on her. of course she didn't got crushed by it since it was littlestar's quick thinking to push her aside and let him get crushed. he lost a life that day but at least that lost life wasn't braveheart. "that is great news" he spoke reasurringly. and gave his mate a comforting lick on the cheek.

Tigerfrost Large paws padded through the forest with little sound. The dark orange pelt of the ThunderClan deputy shone in the bright light of the new morning. The tom had been out hunting before the sun had come up, but that wasn't the reason he was out alone. He had wanted to see if the rouge he had met had come any closer to the boarder. Tigerfrost learned that the rouge he met hadn't come any closer to his home, and that was good news for everyone.
As the orange tom padded through the forest, his paws making little sound on the old, dead leaves that covered the forest floor. He was a skilled warrior, one that would not make mistakes. 'What if I have?' he thought to himself, thinking back to his night in the barn. He had almost told the other tom about his clan, and that would have been bad. The deputy shook his head as he came through the entrance to the camp, his jaws full with prey.
The clearing was empty, except for two other cats. Tigerfrost ignored them for the moment, not really caring who it was. He placed his prey on the fresh-kill pile before sitting down. The tom didn't know what to do. 'Nothing at the moment. The tom hasn't come any closer... but when he does I'll do something about it.' The thoughts ran through his mind as he licked one of his paws, over and over and over. He snapped out of it when he heard someone call his name.
"Tigerfrost." He looked up, and placed his paw back down on the ground. The beautiful she-cat, Fawngaze, was walking over to him. She was almost as large as he was in size, but she was still very beautiful. He dipped his head to the warrior and then looked over to the two cats that were in the clearing when he came back. He realized that it was Littlestar and Braveheart. He cocked his head to the side as he watched them. "It seems as if the leader's going to be a father." Fawngaze's words were sad, and Tigerfrost turned his gaze from the couple to her.
He understood that his leader was going to be a father, but he didn't understand why Fawngaze was upset about that. He frowned and open his jaws to speak, but the she-cat spoke first. "I'm going to do hunt. I'll be back later." She told him before she stood up and walked out of the clearing. Tigerfrost narrowed his eyes before he stood up and padded over to Littlestar and his mate. "Morning." He called before he got too close. He was sure that the two didn't want their news to be spread about the camp. "Littlestar. May I speak to you for a moment?" He asked the older tom.

ooc// ok, well i'll just post with littlestar.
when he thought about his own children, he remembered of ravenleaf and thornstar, how much they gave for their children. after he had recieved his nine lives he thought about his father and what he would do. littlestar always wanted to be just like him, strong, brave, and loyal to his friends and his clan. he wondered what thornstar is thinking, he must be proud, his son that ravenleaf gave up became a great leader for thunderclan. how well littlestar had lead his clan so far. and now littlestar had a mate and would have children of his own.
then his thoughts were gone of his father and the future kits. he turned to look at fawngaze that spoke to tigerfrost and then turned to the camp entrance, looking mighty upset. littlestar knew that something was wrong, but for once he did not know what. he might have to find out what is wrong though he doesn't think that it was anything dangerous to the clan or anything of him.
tigerfrost came up to him."littlestar, may I speak to you for a moment?" the tom asked after he greeted braveheart and him. littlestar showed no emotion to this, he simply hid his little feeling of surprise and looked to braveheart. "i'll be right back, love" he licked her on the cheek and nodded to tigerfrost and led away from braveheart. there was no need to go out of camp, it was still early and the dawn patrol had not yet returned. he sat down, seeing there was a good distance and looked at tigerfrost "you need to speak, so speak" he mewed in his strong well tone but gentler to urge the tom that he was all his.

Braveheart nodded to her mate as he padded away, and narrowed her eyes. Fawngaze loved Littlestar too, she knew, but he did not love her in return. He loved Braveheart instead. I know what it's like to feel rejected, she thought. She wondered, was Fawngaze going to make an enemy out of Braveheart? Braveheart hoped not. She wished her younger Clanmate a good life, not one full of jealously, resentment and bitterness.
The kits in her belly squirmed again, and Braveheart guessed that there were at least three of them in there! But ThunderClan had no medicine cat! she would probably have to rely on herself, and cope without a medicine cat. Worry swirled through her mind. But in spite of this, she let out a gaping yawn, feeling as if she could do nothing but sleep for the next moon.... A wave of tiredness swept over her. I guess I better sleep in the nursery, seeing as I'm so close to kitting, she thought. So instead of heading for her nest in the warrior's den, she tottered over to the empty nursery, pushed her way and settled herself in an empty nest, and fell into a peaceful sleep.
