Prologue
Cinderheart leaped next to her mate Lionblaze,
The battle with the dark forest has ended and everything was back to normal, almost everything. Many cats died including Firestar, clan leader and Lionblaze's kin. Also Hollyleaf, her best friend and Lionblaze's sister. So now Bramblestar is leader and Squirrelflight is his deputy and mate. Dustpelt is still grieving over Ferncloud's death along with the rest of her kits. Dovewing and Bumblestripe are now mates. Lionblaze and I are also mates now.
"I'm so glad the battle is over." Lionblaze meowed shaking his head
"What?" Meowed Cinderheart who was not listening, she was busy worrying about her secret
"You haven't seem yourself lately," He said cocking his head,
She shifted her paws; she has just been waiting for the right time to tell him. "Of course I have!" Cinderheart insisted,
"You've been much calmer and more aware," He said shaking his head
"Well that's just the new me," She meowed nervously,
"I miss the old you," He looked in to her eyes,
She looked away, "I'm sorry," She meowed quietly to him.
"For what? Come on Cinderheart you're not telling me everything." He said nudging her,
"I'm not hiding a thing!" She said looking at him hoping he would believe her,
She saw Lionblaze's old apprentice walking up,
"Hi Lionblaze," Dovewing purred
"Dovewing," Lionblaze said meanly, making Dovewing back away
"What's wrong with him?" Dovewing whispered
"Mad at me," Cinderheart sighed, "I wish he would get over it," She turned to look at Dovewing who looked shocked
"You still haven't told him." Dovewing whispered "I told Bumblestripe the moment I was told!"
"You're having kits too!" Cinderheart meowed too loud
Lionblaze looked up. "You're having kit's Dovewing? That's great news!"
Cinderheart shifted her paws, and then he turned and looked at her. "Isn't that great!"
She let out a small sigh of relief, good he didn't hear me say "too"!
"Lionblaze I have something to tell you," Cinderheart meowed
"Finally," Bumblestripe, said Dovewing shot him a "be quiet" glance,
"What?" Lionblaze asked
Cinderheart heisted then said "I'm having our kits,"
Lionblaze looked shocked then happy. He threshed his muzzle onto hers, "I'm going to be a father? Do Jayfeather and Leafpool know? Hollyleaf would have been so proud!"
Cinderheart purred, "Yes Jayfeather knows and Leafpool isn't a medicine cat anymore Lionblaze."
Lionblaze eyes clouded for a minuet remembering but then cleared up. "Ohh, I'm so proud of you!"
He turned to Dovewing and Bumblestripe then back to Cinderheart, "Our kits our going to be the best warriors ever!"
"Yes they will," Dovewing agreed
