Hawktalon

Slowly the truth dawned upon me. I was going to have kits. Foxleap's kits. The thought alone made my pelt warm.

I looked at Foxleap, happiness dancing in my eyes. I nudged him with my muzzle and he licked my ear. "Come on. I'll help you make a nest in the nursery," he said.

"The nursery?" I asked. "Do I really have to?"

"Not if you don't want to. Well, not yet," Lunarwing replied. "Now can you get out of my nest so I can sleep?"

"You pushed me in there," I said, scrambling to my paws. "See you."

"Who should we tell?" Foxleap asked me as we left the medicine den.

"Everyone," I said, excited. "We'll do it tomorrow. Its night and most cats will be sleeping."

"Hey, let's sneak out," Foxleap whispered.

"Sure," I replied. It might be the only time we got alone together for a while. We snuck out the barrier, as Brambleclaw was fetching Graystripe for watch.

"Where should we go?" I asked him when we were a safe distance from the camp.

"The hill," answered Foxleap.

I nodded, remembering all the events that had happened to me on that hill. My first catch. Where Foxleap admitted his feelings for me. "Good thinking." We strolled there side by side, pelts brushing. Once we reached the top of the hill, Foxleap sat down. I sat beside him and laid my head on his shoulder.

The lake looked spooky, I'll admit. The moon and stars danced in their reflections and the black water lapped at the edges of the shore.

"You know, this is where I made my first catch," I said after a while, breaking the silence.

"My first catch was near the Twoleg den. I was out hunting with Rosepetal, Toadstep and Icecloud. We were all apprentices then. A scrawny shrew practically tripped over my paws, so I caught it. Rosepetal congratulated me on it. I can remember Toadstep teasing her about how she liked me. I never believed him, until she told me herself one day," Foxleap recounted, staring into the distance.

I didn't know how to reply, so I stayed silent, pressing into his warm fur. "I don't think this is the last we'll see of the Dark Forest," I admitted. "I'm scared for the kits."

Foxleap looked down at me. "Hawktalon, I'll do anything to protect you and the kits."

"Please don't die," I whispered. "I don't know what I'll do."

"I won't die," Foxleap promised. "I'll do my best."

I pressed closer to Foxleap and he shivered. "You're cold," I said.

"It's nothing," he said quickly.

I glanced in the direction of the camp. "Foxleap, can you hear that?" I asked, tilting my head. I could hear a faint yowl.

Foxleap's ears twitched and I could see him concentrate hard. "I think Squirrelflight is having her kits."

"Oh yeah," I said. "Do you want to go check?"

"Sure," Foxleap mewed, standing up and ruffling his fur.

Once we reached camp, the yowls had gotten eventually louder. When we walked in the camp, I noticed Brambleclaw pacing nervously outside the nursery. "You were right," I muttered to Foxleap as we approached.

"Hey Brambleclaw," Foxleap called.

Brambleclaw jumped when he heard Foxleap. "Squirrelflight is having her kits now." He continued pacing.

Finally the noise erupting from the nursery stopped. A familiar gray tabby poked his head out. "Brambleclaw you can come in now."

Brambleclaw rushed in. After a while, he came out and mewed, "They're so cute. I highly suggest you visit them." Then he disappeared back inside.

I padded in, Foxleap following. Squirrelflight was curled around two tiny kits and Brambleclaw was sitting behind her, looking proudly at his mate and kits. "Hello you two," Squirrelflight said sleepily. "This one is Mosskit." She pointed with her tail to a pale gray and white she-kit. "And this is Swiftkit." She signalled to a black and white tom.

"They're wonderful Squirrelflight," I said.

"Thanks," Squirrelflight meowed.

"Okay you two. I think you'd better go get some sleep now," Lunarwing said, frightening me once again.
