Thanks for all the reviews! There's going to be a little bit of time skipization here. That's a new word I just made up.

The moon was high in the sky as Quietsong made her way to the meeting place that she had with Birdtooth. They had done this almost every night for the past 5 moons (I think that's what they call months… I haven't read the Warriors books for a while). No one knew that the medicine cat was sneaking out; she always went when she knew everyone was asleep.
It was a beautiful Newleaf and it was almost Greenleaf. Quietsong could tell that it would be a good season. Everyone was well fed and plumper than they had been during Leaf-Fall.
Quietsong saw the dim outline of the tree they always met up in. She clawed up the tree, having become an expert in the last 5 moons of climbing. She saw that, as usual, she was there first. Birdtooth always had to wait a little longer, and then sneak out without waking up any cats that he shared a den with. It was handy that Quietsong shared a den only with one other cat.
After a few minutes, she heard the familiar clawing sound of Birdtooth making his way up the tree. "Sorry I was late," he said with a little bit of amusement in his growl. He knew he was always late.
"It's okay," Quietsong said and pressed her head affectionately under the toms chin, purring.
Birdtooth licked his companions head, purring with her. He touched his nose to hers and she pressed back. He licked her head again before whispering, "I love you."
"I love you, too," Quietsong purred. She pressed against the tom and asked, "How's your apprentice doing?"
"She's doing well," he started. "She's not much of a fighter, but when I'm done with her, she'll be able to even beat Silentfoot in a fight!"
"I'm sure she will," Quietsong replied.
"How are Herostar and Sunstreams kits?"
"Oh, they're well," she said before laughing with amusement. "Seakit drives Sunstream utterly insane with his antics. Rosekit and Runningkit keep to themselves a lot. It's kind of hard to tell Orangekit and Fariekit apart, but it's also kind of easy. Fariekit parades around with Orangekit following behind obediently," Quietsong laughed. "When they play together as a whole, Fariekit and Seakit fight over who's the leader."
Birdtooth laughed. "I was like that when I was a kit; Ironstar just went along with it, though. My mother didn't really care," his eyes went dark. "She left the clan shortly after we were apprenticed."
Quietsong rested her tail on his shoulder in sympathy. Her mother had become deputy after she was apprenticed to the medicine cat, Briarwing. Nativestar had then become leader.
Birdtooth looked at Quietsong, sorrow still etched in his eyes. "The scar I have is from her," he turned his head away. "She gave me it when I followed her when she was fleeing. I thought it was a game."
Quietsong felt anger burn through her body. She licked the tom's ear in still much sympathy, trying to take the pain of the memories away.
The deputy sighed and looked down. "Let's talk about something else."
"Agreed," she started, and then looked down at her paws. "Have you… have you ever wanted… kits?" she asked, her voice small.
"To tell you the truth… I've always wanted kits. But before now, I've never had anyone I wanted to have them with. My offspring would be totally awesome!" Birdtooth yelled as loud as he could that wouldn't give their location away.
Quietsong giggled. "I watch the other cats have kits and I feel that I'm very jealous of them. They have something I can never have."
The duo was silent for a few seconds before Birdtooth broke the silence. "You could have them, if you wanted."
"No, I can't. It'd be breaking the warrior code," Quietsong said, looking at him with a puzzled look.
"What if you weren't apart of the warrior code anymore?"
"What are you saying?"
"What I'm saying is that we could run off together!"
Quietsong looked at him, shocked. Birdtooth went on. "You could have what you always wanted! We wouldn't be bound by the warrior code! What we've been doing for the last 5 moons wouldn't be bad! Think about it, Quietsong!"
The young medicine cat stared at the other clan's deputy. The deal actually did appeal to her, but she couldn't get herself to agree to it. It was already breaking the code that she had Birdtooth as a mate, which she couldn't have, but to add onto it, he was asking her to abandon her clan! "I can't do that, Birdtooth," she whispered.
Birdtooth sighed and looked away. "I better get going, Quietsong," he said as he jumped down from the branch they were sitting on.
"I'll see you tomorrow?" she called out, feeling her heart rip apart.
The tom didn't answer.
Quietsong felt a wetness prick her eyes as she saw him go. "But… we already have the thing we can't have," she whispered. "I'm already pregnant."
Oh snap! They got into a fight, and now Birdtooth didn't respond! What will happen with their forbidden love? Will they ever talk to each other again? Will Birdtooth ever know he's going to be a father? Why am I asking you all of these questions?
