A BumbleXDove one-shot {To get randomness out of my system.}

Bumblestripe looked down at the river, the waves crashing against the shore. His light blue eyes flicked towards a rustle in the bunches. "Who's there?" He hissed in surprise, his heart's beats picking up as a pale grey she-cat crawled out.

"Hello, Bumblestripe." Dovewing smiled at him, his beautiful smile enchanting him. He was too caught up in her brilliant blue eyes to notice her confused face. "Is something wrong?".

"What? Oh, no. Everything's fine.".

"Oh, ok. Well…".

"Why did you come here? After everything…" Bumblestripe asked his former mate, light blue eyes narrowed, the memories too much for him to hold back his forever churning loneliness, "I loved you so much. And you broke my heart…". His blue eyes teared up.

"Bumblestripe…with everything…it was too difficult." Dovewing replied, "I have my powers, and it was right after the great battle, and I didn't want the dark forest to target you…to try and turn you, or try and kill you in your sleep without even being there…".

Bumblestripe's heart skipped a beat. She did care for him. "Y-You care that much?".

"Oh, Bumblestripe…I never stopped caring. You always took my heart…and always will…" She purred to him, her smile breaking out, his heart picking up once more. She walked up to him and pressed her nose to his and he nuzzled her behind the ear, it was just how they had once been. "I love you…" Dovewing whispered, pressing against him as they lay side beside, looking up at the sky.

"I love you more than anyone could…" He purred back to her, nuzzling her lovingly.

Dovewing purred as Bumblestripe intertwined their tail, and pressed his nose to hers.

Meanwhile a horrified Tigerheart watched on from the other side of the border, teeth bared. "She loved me…and she went with that coward." He snarled, turning and leaving.

Three moons later

Whitewing sat with Birchfall, his muzzle resting between her ears as they watched their grand-kits tumbling around.

Dovewing chuckled as her son tackled her daughter, the two kits rolling around. "Get off Shadowkit!" Swankit squealed, the grey she-cat kicking up against her brother.

Fallenkit bounced up to her mother and lay beside her, tucking herself under one of her mother's paws. The white she-cat with her black spots pressed against her mother happily, purring. "Hello, my two beauties…" Bumbleflight purred, nuzzling his mate.

Swankit pranced up to her father and squealed, "Watch what I can do, papa!" She pounced on him with her lopsided hunting crouch.

Bumbleflight laughed as he pretended that she had managed to shove him over. Shadowkit bounded over and leapt onto his father as well. "Why don't you join them, Fallenkit?" Dovewing suggested, nudging her daughter.

"I don't want to…" Fallenkit protested, tucking her herself under her mother again.

"Jayfeather's first apprentice." Dovewing laughed inside her mind as she asked Fallenkit, "You've been hanging around Jayfeather's den a lot.".

"Yeah! He's really grumpy, but he taught me all of the herbs! There's borage, catmint, yarrow, ragwort…" She rambled on about herbs and some of the uses, Dovewing smiling and nodding happily all the way through.

"I think Fallenkit is going to be a medicine cat…" Dovewing told her mate, nuzzling him.

"I knew she was going to be one the day she opened her beautiful eyes…" Bumblestripe nodded, giving her a lick on the cheek, "Our perfect family…".

May I note: I only ship this because I hated Dopewing for breaking up with Bumblestripe. He loved her more than Tigerheart did ;-;
