Leafpool woke up to kits jumping on her. She opened her eyes to stare into the dark blue eyes of Windkit.
"Leafpool we're hungry!" Windkit meowed.
"When are we going back home?" Leopardkit asked.
"Soon I hope. And unless you want fish then there is really nothing else to eat." Leafpool told them.
"Is Spiderleg awake?" Windkit asked her sister, who was now off Leafpool and next to the nest he was in.
"Yes." he mumbled, lifting his head.
"Hiya Spiderleg." Leopardkit greeted him.
"Nah, Leopardkit! He's Grandpa Spiderleg now." Windkit told her. Spiderleg's amber eyes got big.
"What?"
"Well Mothwing said Leafpool was expecting your kits." Windkit mewed.
"Yeah! She's been expecting them since yesterday and they still haven't shown up!" Leafpool had to stifle a laugh at what Leopardkit said, remembering the kits were only three moons old and were asleep when Briarlight's kits had come, so obviously they didn't know about pregnancy and birth.
"I don't know why kits are supposed to come but are always late. I mean Briarlight's kits took forever to find us and Blossomfall's, Dovewing's, and Ivypool's are all still not here! I don't get it! Grandma Leafpool are we too hard to find in ThunderClan territory?" Windkit asked.
Cinderheart hasn't told them much at all. Leafpool thought.
"Oh don't worry they will come. You just have to be patient." Leafpool assured the two kits.
"Leafpool what is going on? What are they talking about?" asked a very confused Spiderleg.
"Oh... I'm kinda expecting you're kits." Leafpool meowed.
"Kinda? Leafpool." Spiderleg asked sternly.
"OK I am." she couldn't stifle the purr. Spiderleg smiled.
"That's great Leafpool." he purred.
"Hey guys." Willowshine came in along with Mothwing, who was carrying a water vole.
"Compliments of one of our best hunters. He heard it on the riverbank and knew ThunderClanners don't eat fish." Mothwing meowed once she set it down for them.
"Oh! Well, be sure to thank whoever it was for us." Spiderleg meowed and took a bite. The kits began eating as well.
"Does he know yet?" Willowshine asked Leafpool.
"Yup!" Leafpool purred again, then took a bite, knowing she needed to feed her kits and herself.
"Great!" Mothwing meowed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THUNDERCLAN CAMP AFTER BEING ESCORTED BY A RIVERCLAN PATROL ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Windkit! Leopardkit!" Cinderheart came limping out to greet her kits.
"Mommy!" they yelled in unison.
"Reedwhisker! Hello! Thank you for bringing our cats back safely." Thornclaw came and greeted the deputy, who was leader of the escort.
"Of course I would. Leafpool saved my life once. It's the least I could do." Reedwhisker replied.
"You and your patrol can come with me. Brackenstar wants to see you." Thornclaw led them off to the leader's den.
"Leafpool. Spiderleg! Thank you so much for saving them." Cinderheart meowed gratefully.
"Of course!" Leafpool purred.
"Not just saving them! Ricking your lives and not backing down!" Lionblaze meowed as he padded up.
"Cinderheart, you're limping! Are you OK?" Spiderleg asked.
"Oh, it was just a little injury from the fight. Luckily, no one else got seriously injured, especially you four! Those falls could have killed you. But other than a few scratches we're all fine." she meowed.
"LEAFPOOL!" came a yowl from across camp.
"SPIDERLEG!" came another.
"THE KITS!" Soon every clan member came to greet them all. Adderpaw and Birdpaw came up along with Whitewing, Heatherpaw, Brightheart, and Amberpaw.
"Adderpaw!" Leafpool nuzzled her apprentice and then Spiderleg did the same with Birdpaw.
"So great to see you! But I'm not Adderpaw anymore. We all got our warrior names for our braveness in the fight. I'm Adderstrike now!" he purred.
"And I'm Birdfeather!"
"And my new name is Amberstorm."
"And mine is Heatherfern!"
"This is great! And now that your news was shared... Spiderleg and I have news, as well." Leafpool addressed all her clanmates surrounding her and Spiderleg.
"Leafpool is expecting my kits!" Spiderleg meowed. The clan burst into a chorus of congratulations. Leafpool looked and saw Adderstrike grinning at her. He gave her a nod of approval. Or maybe it was an I told you so. But soon after everyone quieted down, Windkit spoke up.
"And the kits still haven't showed up yet!" This comment made everyone laugh uncontrollable, leaving Windkit with a confused grin.
"I don't see whats so funny." Leafpool heard Windkit mew over the laughter.
"Neither do I." Leopardkit answered and joined in the laughter. Then Windkit gave a shrug then joined in, too. Soon Leafpool was laughed at the kits innocent, adorable comments as well.
