This is my new story "Love Is a Dangerous Thing." Its about Redpaw, daughter of Bramblestar and Squirrelflight and supposed littermate to Lionpaw, Hollypaw and Jaypaw, who are older then her because they are actually born from another litter. Basically, she is loved by all of ThunderClan but only for her talents and she meets this cat named Falconpaw and ya. You'll have to read to find out what happens. :)
Enjoy ppls!
Prologue; Squirrelflight POV ~
Squirrelflight couldn't believe she was going to have kits. She had supposedly just given birth to Lionkit, Hollykit and Jaykit just two moons ago. It would look bad if she had another litter right after she'd had another one! Leafpool walked beside her as they wandered through the forest, as silent as shadows.
"So what are you going to do?" Leafpool asked.
Squirrelflight shook her head. "I don't know. I just.. Don't know."
Suddenly she felt a pain in her stomach. She gasped and fell to the ground.
"Squirrelflight?!" Leafpool asked, concern flashing in her eyes. "Are you okay?!"
Squirrelflight had never had kits before but she'd seen she-cats give birth and had helped her sister through that process. She knew what was happening. "The kits," she hissed through the pain. "They're coming!"
Leafpool immediately grabbed a stick. "Bite down on this when you feel the kits coming!" She told her sister.
She nodded and took the stick from Leafpool.A spasm ripped through her body and she tried to stifle a yowl of pain.
Leafpool felt her stomach. "It looks like you'll be having three kits."
Squirrelflight nodded, though the pain coursing through her body made it hard. "Okay then," she mewed.
Another spasm ripped through her body and, yet again, she tried to stifle a yowl, once again failing.
"Push!" Leafpool instructed and Squirrelflight obliged, screwing up her eyes tight and biting down hard on the stick.
A moment later a kit slipped down onto the hard forest floor.
Leafpool quickly rushed to its side and licked its fur the wrong way, getting it to breath. She smiled and put it at Squirrelflight's stomach. "It's a strong little tom." She told her.
Squirrelflight sighed in relief and tried to look over to see her son. She smiled at the sight of him and love sparked in her eyes. Another spasm ripping through her body caused her to shriek in pain and look away from her son.
"Push again!" Leafpool told her sister and Squirrelflight splintered the stick when she bit down on the stick with the strength of a lion.
Another kit slipped down onto the forest floor, joined by the third kit a moment later.
Leafpool felt Squirrelflight's stomach. "That's all," she told her and Squirrelflight sighed in relief.
They licked the two other kits and set them beside their brother.
"Two she-cats and a tom," Leafpool informed her and Squirrelflight smiled.
She cast her eye over them.
The only tom was pale grey with darker flecks. You could already see the muscles beneath his kitten soft pelt. He reminded her very much if someone.
His sister was tiny. Her pelt was a light brown and she had tabby stripes. In short, she looked like a very tiny version of Squirrelflight's sister Leafpool
The last kit was black and white with a tail tip that was so dark ginger it looked red. Her body was lithe and slender.
"What will you name them?" Leafpool asked.
"I don't know," Squirrelfight answered honestly. She had no idea what to name them, she didn't feel like real mother material.
"Why don't we start by naming the little she-kit Primrosekit?" Leafpool suggested.
Squirrelflight touched the small light brown tabby she-kit with her tail. "Primrosekit, I like it."
She looked at the black and white she-kit with the red tail tip. "Would Redkit suit this little she-kit?"
Leafpool nodded. "It would be a great name for her."
Squirrelflight nodded and turned to the last kit, the tom. "I'd like to name this kit Graykit, because if his pelt and to honour Graystripe."
Leafpool smiled. "That's nice. We'd better get them to camp now, theyll get cold out here." She paused. "What will we tell the Clan?"
She thought. "Maybe that I didn't have all my kits at the same time and, while Lionkit, Jaykit and Hollykit were born early, Redkit, Graykit and Primrosekit came at the right time."
Leafpool thoughts for a moment then said. "That would work. C'mon let's get back to camp."
Brambleclaw was guarding the camp when Leafpool and Squirrelflight came up to the camp entrance, carrying kits by the scruffs.
His eyes widened and he rushed forwards, "What's this?!"
Leafpool set down the kit she was carrying, Primrosekit, and mewed. "Brambleclaw, meet your new kits."
Brambleclaws eyes widened even more. "How can this be? Lionkit...! Hollykit! Jaykit!"
Squirreflight set down Redkit and Graykit. "Lionkit, Hollykit and Jaykit came early, while the other half of the litter stayed until the right time."
Brambleclaw's eyes shone with happiness. "C'mon. Let's go tell Firestar."
He picked up Graykit and Leafpool and Squirrelflight followed behind him, holding Primrosekit and Redkit gently by the scruffs.
When the entered Firestars den, Firestar woke immediately- looking suprised to have his deputy and two daughters in his den in the middle of the night holding three newborn kits!
"What's the meaning of this?" He asked, waking his mate Sandstorm.
"W-What's going on?" She asked sleepily.
"That's what I was asking," Firestar mewed. He wasn't angry though, just curious.
Squirrelflight set down Redkit. "Meet my new kits."
Firestar and Sandstorm looked at eachother, obviously very confused, then back at Squirrelflight, Brambleclaw and Leafpool.
Leafpool explained the fake story, about how Lionkit, Hollykit and Jaykit had come early while these three kits had stayed until the right time.
"I've never heard of that before," Sandstorm meowed.
Terror sparked at Squirrelflight but Leafpool responded calmly. "It's just very unusual, that's all."
Firestar relaxed. "Well, what are their names?" He asked, smiling at the fact his daughter had just had more kits.
"The gray tom is Graykit, after Graystripe," Squirrelflight mewed and looked at her mother an dfather after saying this, wanting to know his reaction. They smiled approvingly and Sandstorm said;
"I think he would of liked that."
"The tiny light brown tabby she-kit is Primrosekit," Squirrelflight went on. "And the black and white she-kit is Redkit after her little red tipped tail."
"And they're Brambleclaws kits I presume." Sandstorm asked.
"Of course they are." Squirrelflight mewed though she answered her mother with a heavy heart, knowing that might not be exactly true.
"Well, why don't you go and settle them down in the nursery with their siblings, Lionkit, Jaykit and Hollykit?"
Squirrelflight nodded and picked up Primrosekit and Redkit. Leafpool carried Graykit and the padded to the Nursery.
Ferncloud was in the Nursery as well and asleep, her belly was HUGE. She would give birth in less then a moon.
They set Primrosekit, Redkit and Graykit down with Jaykit, Lionkit and Hollykit.
Jaykit, Lionkit and Hollykit would, no doubt, be awfully suprised when they heard about their new littermates. But Squirrelflight didn't doubt that they'd make them feel welcomed and accept them.
They all had Leafpool's kindness, understanding and generosity.
Squirrelflight curled up around all six kits and quickly fell asleep.
