HELLO PEOPLE! How was the last chapter? Was it good? Did ya like it?
Anyway, ONTO THE CHAPTER!

Briarduck's POV

"Gathering patrol!" Briarduck recognised the voice of Rabbitstar, who was summoning the cats going to the gathering. Briarduck was still puffing after just getting back from the hollow tree. She winced as she left her kits to pad out to meet Brightshadow. "Hi!" The she-cat mewed happily. "Hi. Brightshadow, could you please tell Rabbitstar I'll be there a bit later, there's something I have to do first." Brightshadow narrowed her eyes but didn't ask any more as the medicine cat rushed back to her den. She listened as the gathering cats left through the gorse tunnel to the island to meet the other clans. She got a fresh piece of moss from the pile and layer it down on the floor. She grabbed each kit in turn and placed them carefully on the moss. She wrapped them up with care and headed out the hole she had already made earlier when she had snuck in. She emerged on the other side with her kits unharmed and checked if any cats were near. She rushed towards the island after her clan.

Finestar's POV

"Gathering cats, we will depart now." He called to his clan. It still feels weird telling them what to do, he thought as the cats chosen for the gathering were lead out of the camp by himself, their new leader. They padded quietly and quickly through the forest and over WindClan territory. He ignored the scent of his 'mate's' clan remembering that they would probably already be there. They picked up the pace until they were racing through the moor. "Hey leader!" A sweet cheerful voice puffed from beside him. "Reedstorm!" He exclaimed. "Thanks again for appointing me as deputy." She mewed from between puffs. They reached the island with no more talk. Quickly they padded over the bridge and onto the land on the other side. He ushered his clan through the bushes and they soon broke through into the clearing. He scented the air. Only WindClan, he thought. His clan broke up and merged with the other clan. He jumped up the tree and waited for the other leaders. Eventually, they can and the gathering had begun.

After it was finished, Finefeathers looked around for Briarduck with Dapplemoon on one side and Reedstorm on his other. He saw Briarduck's tail on the other side of the open ground. She popped her head up and beckoned him with her tail. He looked around to see if anyone had seen her and rushed unseen over to her. He broke into the bush and touched his nose to her ear. She gasped and looked past him. "What's wrong?" He stuttered as he turned around to see Reedstorm and Dapplemoon. "What!" Reedstorm mewed in shock.

Dapplemoon had a sad look in her eyes as she gazed at a moss wrap in Briarduck's jaws. He stared at the wrap in confusion until it made a small mewl. "Kits!" He gasped in shocked joy. Briarduck laid the kits down and unwrapped them. "I thought of a story as I was running." Briarduck started cautiously. "I was going to give them to you, and you could be the father because you are, and- and then Reedstorm could be the mother." Briarduck circled around her kits protectively. "Finestar. I have something to tell you. Dapplemoon told me and I already know. I don't think it was very smart but- I'll do it for you." Reedstorm nodded politely at her leader. "Finestar!" Briarduck gasped. "Your leader now." Briarduck purred quietly. Finestar felt hot under his pelt. "This kits Finekit-" Briarduck started to explain as she pointed to a pure white tom kit that looked exactly like his father, "This ones Lilykit-" She pointed to a beige she-kit with a white forepaw. She pointed to a large amber tabby tom-kit, "And this is Blazekit." She finished, patting each kit softly with her tail. Finestar noticed each had a different coloured star shape on their forehead. "Great names!" He purred. Finestar thought of the red she-kit ahe had met in StarClan. "Was there another kit?" He pressed. Briarduck looked sad. "A kit in StarClan, Yewkit, gave me a life and called me her father." He explained. "Yes, that was another, she was born dead." She mewed hoplessely. "We'll take the kits back with us then, and we'll look after them." Finestar licked Briarduck's ear affectionately and she padded away quickly, looking after her sadly.

Reedstorm's POV

Unusual stars, Reedstorm thought looking at each kit's forehead with a darker star of the main colour of their fur. "I'll be glad to be their mother!" Reedstorm whispered to herself. Dapplemoon overheard her and looked up at her face confused. "Why would you want them to be your kits?" She asked in shock. She watched as Finestar padded the bundle to her and asked for her to look after the kits while he addressed the gathering. "I said, why would you want them to be your kits!" Dapplemoon raised her voice as she tried to get Reedstorm's attention off the kits. "Oh sorry, Dapplemoon." She looked back at her friend. She looked uneasy as she muttered quietly, "I like him." Dapplemoon's shocked expression was replaced with a look of sympathy. "Well you get to share his kits." Dapplemoon pointed out. Reedstorm looked away. " It's good. But it's still not the same." She picked up the bundle and emerged to see the gathering breaking up. Finestar waved his tail for Reedstorm to go to him. "We'll get back as quick as we can." He murmured as he rushed on with his clan following.

Hey again peeps. Did ya like it, Reedstorm? Sorry if you wouldn't make yourself the foster mother, but, well yeah. Lol. Whatever. Lol. Bye peeps!
