Chapter nine

Good new's

The , moon's after Hollystar earned her lives were quiet. Moon's passed with the same rhythm. Even leaf-bare passed with ease. Then green-leaf came, and filled the forest with cool weather and endless prey. All because of Blazing Cinder's.

"Lionblaze! Lionblaze! Good new's!" Cinderheart's yowl woke Lionblaze from his dozing in the sun.

"What is it, love?" He purred licking her muzzle with affectation. Her eyes shone with love and excitment.

"I'M HAVING OUR KITS!" she yowled happily. Her eyes shone with joy, and, now that Lionblaze thought about it, she did look plumper.

" How long? How long 'till were parents?" he asked excited. He felt like a kit before he became an apprentice.

" About a moon, Jayfeather say's. It's actually been a while that I've had them. I thought I was just fat from all this prey, but then I got sick today while hunting, so Ashfur made me go see him, and it tuned out, I was excpecting!!" She gave a little jump of excitment, and lionblaze covered her face in licks. He paused and looked up. Hollystar was stumbling toward's the freshkill pile.

"I'll be right back, love. I'm gonna' check on Hollystar." she looked up, her eyes clouded with worry for her friend. She saw her and gasped.

"She's pregnant. For sure." she whispered. He nodded and trotted of.

"aren't apprentices supposed to bring you food?" he whispered

"I'm tired of making little cats get my food! I feel useless! It's not breaking the code getting food for myself!" she snapped hotly. He flinched.

"Go see jayfeather. I think you're pregnant. Cinderheart is too."

"Bu-..." she began

"GO!" he snapped. She slumped off toward's the den. Later that day Lionblaze found out she was pregnant, and would have her kits the same time as Cinderheart.

Jayfeather woke to Cinderheart screaming.

"They're coming! Jayfeather, help! They're coming!!" he raced out. Sure enough, a kit was on it's way. He could smell it. He raced back and grabbed some herbs. Hollystar was awake, watching in horror at the seen in front of her.

"Alright, when I say push, push. Ready?...PUSH! Good, good, keep pushing!" a kit slid out. Jayfeather gently nipped the thin sac, and the kit took a shuddering gasp of breath, and ...started screaming. The next kits came, all the same. There were three, healthy, strong kits there. Jay feather sighed in relief. It was over. But then she screamed again, and one more, smaller then the rest popped out. Alive. Cinderheart clapsed, out cold.

"Cinderheart?!" wailed Lionblaze. He had come in during the birth, and helped his children off.

" she's fine, just tired." Jayfeather replied.

"You must be exhausted too! You just delivered four..." He broke off as Hollystar wailed, waking Cinderheart. Hollystar was giving birth.

"make sure she eats these!" Jayfeather hissed, pushing some leaves into his brothers face, and sprinted over to Hollystar...

"Cat's of Thunderclan! We have excellent new's! Last night, Jayfeather delivered eight Healthy kits! From Hollystar, there's Flamekit, Wheatkit, Adderkit, and Stormkit! (Cheer's) And from Cinderheart, we have Lightingkit, Flashkit, Acornkit and Lunarkit! (More cheers).

Yes, Blazing Cinders have brought us hope. And so have Birch's holly. This is good life. Now. Jayfeather thought as he fell asleep. He woke in starclan. He stood and looked around

"Hey, Leafpool? Were are you!? No one replied. Leafpool's spot was empty. He blinked, and saw something. Acornkit. She looked... so familiar. She was a brown-black she cat, but her amber eyes, they looked so familiar. It was Leafpool. His mother was back.

HAHA! Yes! 21 Reviews! And The kit's are here! I brought my self into the story!

LEAFPOOL: I told you I'd bring you back! OH! Her name may be acornkitBut it is leafpool!
