AU: Next chappy. Heartstar's POV again. :)

Heartstar was receiving trouble on her decision to help the Shadowclan warrior. Many were upset that she would help a enemy that killed one of there warriors, and others were upset that she was wasting the medicine supplies on a cat that was probably going to die anyways. She didn't like having her decision ridiculed. Especially because she didn't want to be leader anyways. She didn't get much sleep that night, and the next morning she sat in front of her den.

"Starclan what do you expect me to do? I don't know the right decisions to make. I'm not ready for this." She mumbled. Her head snapped up as she saw the white fur, the dark green eyes of Frostfang. She growled and jumped to her paws, hissing at the warrior standing before her, but then she realized it was not Frostfang, but his son Clawpaw.

"O-oh… Sorry.." Heartstar mumbled, turning around and padding quickly into her den. She collapsed on the floor, staring at the wall. Now she felt bad. A little while later she got to her paws, and padded out into the camp looking around. It was busy again. She headed into the medicine cats den to visit Iceheart, and see how Cannonfur was holding up.

"How is Cannonfur?" Heartstar asked Nettleclaw. The gray tabby tom stood from where he was mixing his polituce and shook his head.

"Not well. I'm not sure he'll survive." Nettleclaw frowned. Heartstar looked down at the dark gray tom, and sniffed at his fur. She then snapped her head up as Starrykit dragged some type of herbs out from the crevice Cannonfur kept them in. She placed them in front of the tom, then turned to her mother, flicking her tail in greeting.

"Can I go now?" She asked Cannonfur. The gray tabby nodded starting to chew the leaves, and Starrykit ran out of the medicine cats den. It reminded Heartstar that her kits were six moons.

"I'll have to hold there ceremony tonight." She meowed. Nettleclaw straightened up.

"Can I have Starrykit as a apprentice?" He asked the leader. Heartstar shrugged.

"Is… that.. Er.. What Starclan wants?" She asked.

"It seems it. She knows all the herbs without me even telling her, and her coat looks like the stars. I think she'd make a perfect medicine cat." Nettleclaw meowed.

"Is that what she wants?" Heartstar asked, not wanting her daughter to be unhappy.

"I don't know… she didn't at first… but now it seems like she does." Nettleclaw meowed. Heartstar nodded.

"Alright then." She meowed. She flicked her tail in farewell to Nettleclaw and walked into the other part of the medicine cats den where Iceheart was staying.

"Hey." He meowed, struggling to sit up and smiling at Heartstar.

"Hello." She murmured, walking over and touching her nose to her mates. "How are you feeling?" Heartstar asked, looking into his dark blue eyes.

"Alright… I'd be better if I could actually do something for my clan." Iceheart sighed.

"How much longer are you going to be in here?… I miss you…" Heartstar whispered, laying down, and pressing into his side. She closed her eyes as he licked her ears soothingly.

"I still have awhile yet… I'm sorry I can't be helping you.." He whispered.

"It's not your fault… you're in here because of me…" Heartstar said sadly, remembering how her mate saved her life. Iceheart touched his nose to her cheek.

"It was Frostfang's fault, not yours. And I wouldn't change a thing." The tom murmured. Heartstar nodded with a sigh, deciding to change the subject.

"I have to make our kits apprentices soon. Do you want me to help you outside?" She asked him. Iceheart nodded.

"Can you?" He meowed. Heartstar got to her feet, and slowly nudged the tom to his paws, letting him lean on her. She slowly walked him out to the clearing, where he laid down in a perfect view to high rock.

"There you go." Heartstar murmured, licking his ears. "I'm gonna go get the kits ready. I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too." Iceheart purred. Heartstar walked into the nursery, flicking her tail for her kits to come over. After explaining to her kits what would be happening, and after cleaning them up well, she headed to high rock, jumping onto and calling the summons for the clan to come together.

"I gather you all here today to make some new apprentices. I call upon our warrior ancestors too look down on these six apprentices. They want to train to become a warrior, but first need to become a apprentice. Blizzardkit, you will be known as Blizzardpaw. Your mentor will be Sleetshard. Moonkit you will be known as Moonpaw, and your mentor will be Patchpelt. Stormkit you will be known as Stormpaw, and your mentor will be Blackfur. Fawnkit you will be known as Fawnpaw and your mentor will be Flowerstream. Silverkit you will be known as Silverpaw, and your mentor will be Wildheart. And Redkit, you will be known as Redpaw, and your mentor will be Cloudfeather." Heartstar finished, watching as the mentors touched noses with there apprentices.

"Now Starrykit. Nettleclaw would like to take you on as the medicine cat apprentice. Do you agree?" Heartstar asked. Starrykit hesitated then nodded.

"Yes, I agree." She meowed, touching noses to Nettleclaw.

"Then you are known as Starrypaw, and you will train to be our new medicine cat." Heartstar meowed, watching as the clan called all the new apprentices names. "This meeting is dismissed." The leader meowed, jumping off of high rock, and congratulating all her kits.

"I am very proud of all of you." She meowed.

"As am I." Iceheart meowed, limping over to them.

Heartstar smiled at her family, and she could of sworn she felt someone brush against her leg.

Dewkit maybe.
