Dovewing's P.O.V.
The next morning I wake up and see Tigerheart looking down at me. I purr and flick him with my tail. We pad out and I see the clan look at him. "The truth comes out." I hear some cat say and I back into the den. Ivypool bursts out of the den and I look at her from the entrance of the den. "So what?" She spits and I see Toadstep pad forward. "They are mates. Before he joined." He hisses and I growl. "So what. They are in the same clan now so it doesn't matter." A cat hisses and I see Squirrelflight pad in. I see Crowfeather and Leafpool together. Crowfeather joined after the great battle. "Maybe you should stop worrying about other cats feelings and do something useful." Cloudtail growls and other cats murmur in agreement. "Toadstep, you can clean the elders den for the next week." Squirrelflight meows and Toadstep glares at Ivypool. She grins. "That would be nice." Sandstorm meows. She, Dustpelt, Thornclaw, Graystripe, Millie, and Purdy all were in the elders den. "Okay." Toadstep grumbles and pads into the elders den. Squirrelflight starts organizing patrols and I pad over to my sister. "Thanks for supporting me." I whisper and she looks at me. "Of course, you ARE my only sister and Best Friend." She replies. "By the way, Icecloud defiantly likes Toadstep." She whispers and I giggle.
Tigerheart pads up next to me and looks down at me. I look up and him and he smiles. Then I pad over to Squirrelflight for patrols. "Dovewing, you and Tigerheart are on a hunting patrol with Leafpool, Crowfeather and Ivypool." She tells me and I nod. I beckon to Tigerheart and we pad over to the others. "Don't worry. The staring will go away." Crowfeather says to Tigerheart and he nods. He slows down so he is padding next to me. I purr and lick his cheek. He nuzzles me and purrs. "You two, hunt at the Windclan border." Leafpool says and we nod.
I caught a vole and a Squirrel while Tigerheart caught two mice. We pad into camp and put our prey on the pile. Tigerheart grabs a rabbit as I walk over to the entrance of the second warriors den. He settles next to me in a pool of sunshine. By now the whole clan knows why Tigerheart joined. We share the rabbit and lay in the sun. I roll on my back and look up at the top of the hollow. Then I see a cat upside down and roll onto my belly. I see My sister and Foxleap in front of me. "Hi." I say and my sister settles beside me. Foxleap settles beside her and Ivypool flicks her tail over his ears. I feel Tigerheart entwine our tails and purr, looking at him. He nuzzles me and I lick his cheek. I feel a pair of eyes burning my fur and press against Tigerheart. "It's okay. It's just Toadstep." He whispers and I nod, but I don't move. He purrs softly and wraps his tail around me. I see mother and father talking quietly, Their eyes flicking over to us from time to time. I sigh and lick his shoulder. He licks my head in swift, soft strokes. I purr softly.
Ivypool and Foxleap are quietly talking to each other. Me and Tigerheart are half hidden behind a rock. His dark tabby fur is soft and comfortable. Bramblestar calls a clan meeting and we peer out from the rock. "You all know by now why Tigerheart joined." He says and the clan murmurs in agreement. "That is all." He says and jumps down. He pads over to Squirrelflight. I see Jayfeather beckoning for me to come over. I slip away to him. "Your pregnant. Two moons." He says and pads over to Lionblaze. I look at him and then pad back over to Tigerheart. I plop down and he pulls me close. "What did he want?" He asks and I look at him. "I'm pregnant." I whisper and he nuzzles me. "That's great." He meows and I lay my head on his shoulder. "You okay?" He asks. "Just tired." I say and he nods. He leads me into the den and I settle into my nest. He curls around me and I purr.
The next morning, Jayfeather tells Bramblestar and he tells the clan. Tigerheart is currently leading me to the nursery. We stop when we smell shadowclan. We slip into the nursery and look out of the den, while Daisy slips out with Sorreltail and her kits. "Blackstar." Bramblestar says, dipping his head to the shadowclan leader. "Bramblestar, I assume you know why we are hear?" Blackstar asks and Bramblestar shakes his head no. "I do not." He says and leaps down from his perch on Highledge and Squirrelflight pads next to him. "On of our warriors was last seen by the shadowclan border." Rowanclaw growls and I look back at Tigerheart who is standing next to me, hidding. "We want to take him home." Tawnypelt says, padding up with Dawnpelt. "How do you know if he wants to go home?" Ivypool says, Growling next to Foxleap. "Can I talk to him?" Dawnpelt asks and Squirrelflight leads her into the nursery I quickly pad next to Daisy and the two cats start talking. "Fine then!" She growls and storms out of the nursery. She pads over to Tawnypelt and sits down, scowling at the ground. I secretly slip into the nursery and look at my mate. I see his ear is torn. I slip next ro him and lick his ear. He nuzzles me and I pad outside.
