~Snowcrystal of Thunderclan~

Sorry, it had a glitch ^-^'

I know right?! How dare she?! XD

~Amberdawn~

It's a request, but maybe? I prefer Hollyleaves (Fallenleaves x Hollyleaf) and Cinderblaze (Lionblaze x Cinderheart) The person who requested it asked my a few times before I agreed since I didn't really see them as a couple...

~Arabella 88~

Thanks! I'm glad that you enjoyed it! ^_^

~Featherflight123~

Diana is certainly Diana ^_^ and I agree, I really need to have them in more of the chapters, although I do have an idea nipping at my brain, it's Ivory's take of a spinoff of Flashes Vs. The Dark Blades, and the possibility of showing a little of her past in either fighting for love or hope or Flashes Vs. The Dark Blades ^_^ A snippet for the idea for the Flashes Vs. The Dark Blades is this:

No! Ivory's vision tunnel focused at the sound of a gunshot. Braxton! She abandoned the sniper rifle she was ordered to be under to fling herself over the edge of the roof to land onto the metal fire escape. "Atol! What are you doing?!"
"I'm sorry Ivory, I couldn't do anything."
"Braxton was just shot!"

Cynthia and Leon's Little Girl REWRITE

Cynthia, Leon- 21

Leon awoke with a start after someone pulled the blankets off of the bed. His amber eyes flashed open and he opened his mouth to complain, but he froze when he saw what was going on.

Cynthia had taken the last blanket off of the bed and she was tucking it into a large nest-like thing made from all of the blankets in the house and any towels she could find as well. She had her black hair in a sloppy ponytail, she was wearing a ruffled and slightly wrinkled tank-top and shorts, and her cheeks and face were slightly flushed, from what he didn't know just yet. Midway through her current activity she straightened her posture and hissed through her teeth, resting one hand on her gently swollen stomach, narrowing her eyes to slits, and flattening her black cat ears against her skull.

"Cyn, you okay?" Leon quickly sat up and got off of the bed before making his way over to her after making sure that his phone was tucked into one of his pockets. "What's going on?" he asked in the wild's language, noticing how she didn't respond to the English.

Cynthia didn't seem to know herself as she gave him a piercing stare and didn't bother replying, too busy hissing in pain to respond.

Leon then called Sarah, since she would know and she would want to know what was going on.

Sarah picked up after a few moments of hesitancy, "Leon, why are you calling at four in the morning?"

"Cyndy's built a nest like a thing and she hissing in pain," Leon quickly rambled in English, "do you know what's going on?"

Sarah drew in a sharp breath, "is whatever she's sitting on wet?"

Leon looked over at his partner who had gained a terrified expression and she was staring down at one of the towels beneath her, which was indeed now wet. Yeah, why?"

"I'll be there in about ten minutes, Cynthia's going to have the baby today. Try to calm her down and help her regain control, she probably has no idea what's going on besides that she feels an intense need to follow her instincts."

Leon bobbed his head, "okay, see you then." He then hung up, put down the phone, and took both of Cynthia's hands, "you're giving birth Sweetheart," he rumbled in the wild's language and released one of her hands to gently brush her bangs from her face, "it's going to be okay."

Cynthia breathed in a deep breath and nodded, still looking incredibly scared, "Stay with me please," she pleaded with him, "I can't do this by myself."

"I'll be there the entire time," Leon promised and embraced her, holding her to his chest, "I will help you where ever I can."

Cynthia whimpered, hiding her face further in his chest, "Leon I'm scared…"

"I know Sunshine," Leon kissed the top of her head, "It'll be okay."

:( :) :( :)

"Are you okay?" Leon asked his partner from his position sitting next to her in one of the middle seats of her mom's car because Leon was too worried about his partner to drive them. "You're starting to sweat," he picked up a clean cloth from the seat next to him and used it to gently wipe his partner's forehead.

Cynthia was sitting in the other middle seat with the seat partially reclined back and her blue eyes squeezed shut as she struggled to breathe, she couldn't wait for the resting period and the contractions stopped for a little while, they hurt really really bad. "I'm fine Leon," she hissed, getting a little fed up with his worrying, it was causing her already high-stress levels to go even higher. He had been freaking out since Cynthia herself had calmed down and regained control. Not to mention that he fainted abruptly on the stairs and narrowly didn't crash into her sending her tumbling down the stairs. So Cynthia was quickly reaching her limit.

"Are you sure?

"Yes! I'm sure!" Cynthia hissed and Leon fell silent for a few moments.

"You're sweating a lot Sunshine-" Leon rumbled, worry coating his tone.

Cynthia abruptly snapped at him, snapping at him and biting at his arm as he reached over to brush her bangs from her face, worried about her. Cynthia jolted back barely a second after she had bitten him, her blue eyes widening like golf balls and she slapped her hands over her mouth, staring at him with wide round eyes. "StarClan I'm so sorry! I-I didn't mean to!"

Leon had quickly pulled his arm back and covered the spot that she had bitten him at, his amber eyes were hurt and confused about why she had bitten him.

"I'm s-sorry!" Cynthia stammered, "I d-don't know what o-over came me!"

"It's fine." Leon mumbled, and rubbed the spot that was viciously stinging from Cynthia's sharp canine teeth, "doesn't matter."

"It matters!" Cynthia stammered, "I sh-shouldn't have bitten you-" She cut herself off with a small cry of pain, and a low pain filled hiss along with tensing up like a board and pulling her legs up toward her chest slightly.

Leon stayed quiet, sitting silently and watching his partner struggle, understanding that she didn't want his help. He rubbed his arm where she had instinctively bit him,

Sarah glanced back at them through the rear view mirror, worried. This was going to bite Cynthia in the butt, even if the whole thing was an accident and she hadn't meant to bite him and it had been instinctual.

:( :( :( :( :(

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to bite you!" Cynthia whimpered to her partner, she had a death grip on his wrist, her blue eyes were wild and downright terrified, "please come with me!" She pleaded with him, "I don't want to do it alone!"

Leon couldn't look her in the eye, knowing that his partner was scared, very, very scared. "I won't go anywhere Sunshine," He attempted to soothe her without looking her in the eye. He also covered her hands clamped around his wrist, "I'll be out here the entire time."

"No! I want you to come with me!" Cynthia stepped closer to him and buried her face into his chest, "I can't do it on my own! I need your help!"

Leon brushed his thumb over her knuckles, getting her to loosen her grip on his wrist, "You'll be fine Sweetheart, it'll be okay."

"I want you to help me!" Cynthia whined, trying desperately to convince her partner that she was sorry about biting him earlier and that she needed his help, "I want your support!"

"You have it," Leon rumbled, "you have my support Cyn."

Cynthia burst into tears, howling, "Why won't you go with me?!" The wild howled, "I want your help!"

Leon couldn't look at her anymore, she didn't want him there, he couldn't go through it knowing that she didn't really want him there in the first place. "No you don't Cyn, you don't need my help, you can do it by yourself." he brushed her bangs from her face, "Youl'l be fine-"

Cynthia took a few stumblings steps back, looking at him through hurt and tearfilled azure blue eyes, "No I won't! I need my partner's help!" The wild's lower lip trembled slightly as she whimpered her next words, "Do you not want the baby?" She whimpered brokenly as her grip on his wrist went lax, "O-or did I do something wrong?"

Leon shook his head, "you didn't do anything wrong," he leaned toward her and gently kissed her forehead, "but I know you can do it by yourself, you'll be fine Sweetheart."

Cynthia didn't look reassured, she looked more broken, hurt and confused, not sure what she had done to make her partner not want to help her while she brought their first child into the world which was hard enough on her to not have her partner there.

The nurse gently grasped Cynthia by the wrist, "come on, you don't have a lot of time till you start active labor Cynthia."

Cynthia's blue eyes flickered with something as she continued to stare brokenly at her partner.

The nurse urged her a little more, this time speaking in their language, "Cynthia, you don't have a lot of time if you want to make sure the area is safe."

Cynthia nodded numbly to her and looked at her partner, betrayal flashing across her expression before she simply uttered one phrase in english. "You don't want the baby do you?" she mumbled before she turned and let the nurse led her to one of the empty rooms, her shoulders were hunched like she was trying to make herself smaller and her black cat ears were drooping miserably against her skull.

Leon watched, his jaw clenched as he did so, I'm really sorry Sunshine, but you don't want me there.

:( :( :( :(

Leah opened the door to the dimly lit room, she had always liked how the rooms in the wild's hospital were more like a normal room than a hospital room, and how there was always soft music played as an attempt to soothe the patient. Her patient was curled up on the floor in the middle of what looked like a nest made from blankets, towels, and anything else soft that was in the room itself. She was half sitting up, curled in a ball with her chin resting on the edge of the soft nest and her hands gently resting on her stomach with her fingers splayed. The wild seemed to be out of it, distant and mentally far away. "Cynthia," she spoke in the wild's language, making it easier for the wild to understand her in her current state, "how're you feeling?"

"Leave me alone," Cynthia lightly hissed, "you're not my partner."
"I know, but he sent me to make sure you're okay while you give birth," Leah told her quietly as she approached her, keeping her movements slow so that Cynthia could react if she chose to. "Any pain?"

"I've been in pain since I woke up this morning," Cynthia growled in a hostile tone, "of course I'm in pain."

"Cynthia," Leah knelt in front of her at the edge of the nest, "it's me, Leah, not some random doctor, me."

Cynthia's attitude changed from hostile to more miserable as she lifted her head and turned to look at her, "Leah?"

Leah nodded, "It's me Cynthia, I'm here to make sure you and your baby end up being healthy," she smiled at her, "and to make sure your alright while Leon's not here."

Cynthia shuffled to one side, making more space in the nest so that Leah could sit next to her as well. "I'm okay," she mumbled, "My partner…" She hesitated and changed what she was going to say, "is outside."

Leah nodded, "I know, I talked to him for a moment," She knelt next to Cynthia inside the nest, "may I?"

Cynthia nodded and moved her arms to be down at her sides.

Leah gently pressed against Cynthia's gently rounded stomach, she marveled at how different wilds and humans really were, especially at a time like this, wilds were heavily influenced by the wildness inside them in regards to having children and they only had five months instead of nine along with the baby itself being born at a healthy but smaller weight to keep from hindering the mother. "Seems to be good so far," that was her wild's specialty, the ability to tell if something was going wrong in someone health wise. "Do you want to be outfitted with the nasal breathing tube now or later?" She asked gently, it was a precaution, because of how vocal wilds had a tendency to be they didn't want her to pass out on accident midway through.

"I don't care," Cynthia rumbled as she relaxed, snuggling deeper into her nest.

:) :( :) :(

Leah looked sympathetically at Cynthia, the wild's pain levels had started going up as half an hour went past from her arrival. By now she could see the few people sitting in the observation area, watching nervously and worriedly through the glass window in a small dim room connected to the room Cynthia and Leah were in. Leah glanced at a few of the machines that were feeding her numbers and Cynthia's current vitals via wireless through the bracelet around her wrist and the small patch on her neck and stomach. Cynthia had been getting more vocal as the minutes rolled by, stopping the silent treatment to instead give quiet groans or the occasional moan of pain, to now where she kept speaking in her language, mumbling things or like now, speaking in full phrases.

Cynthia was currently hunched over so that her elbows were against her knees and her head nearly touching her knees, moaning in pain and keening for her partner to come back and to help her. "I want my partner," she whimpered into her knees, "I want my partner!" She howled and Leah's heart broke for her, the wild was scared, in a new place and being forced to give birth to her first born there while her partner had left the room and stayed behind in the waiting area, unsure what she had wanted from him.

"It's okay Cynthia," Leah gently tried to soothe her, the wild's parents hadn't arrived yet, and she was hoping that her father would be able to help her understand that the hospital was safe, "He's outside waiting-"

"I want him here," Cynthia whimpered, her body trembling slightly as she tried to push, wanting the pain to stop and her partner to come back to her, "I want him here."

"I know, I know," Leah soothed, "save your strength for a few minutes, you're going to need all of your strength soon."

Cynthia was silent for a few moments as her body relaxed and she pushed herself up so that she was looking at Leah through tired and betrayed blue eyes, "my partner doesn't love me," she whimpered to her, tears welling in her blue eyes, "h-he doesn't want our baby."

Leah's heart broke more, Cynthia really was insecure about her partner after he had rejected her during her first time going into heat, that seemed to have stuck with the female. "He loves you very much," she tried to reassure her, "he's just unsure what to do right now." Cynthia had been in a lot of pain earlier and she had accidentally bit her partner in the car and snapped at him to stay away from her even though afterward she had begged and pleaded with him to come with her, panicking and scared of having to bring their baby into the world alone and him rejecting their son or daughter.

Cynthia didn't respond and instead sobbed, over come with emotion and drowning in her stress.

:( :( :(

Leah smiled as she wrapped the squaling baby in a soft blanket that Cynthia had brought with her. "It's a girl!"
Cynthia flopped so that she was lying on her back in the blanket and towel nest she had made earlier, her face was flushed, sweat beaded her skin, and her body was trembling slightly from adreniline which had kicked in soon after the resting period had ended and from exhaustion. Cynthia scrambled up so that she was sitting up a second later, her blue eyes narrowed and protective over her crying newborn. "Give me my baby," she hissed, her black cat ears were flattened in hostility against her skull and a low and protective growl rumbled through the nervous mother's body.

"She's right here," Leah purred and gently gave the baby to her, "I'm just making sure she's healthy."

"I can do it by myself." Cynthia growled, still pretty hostile and protective.

Leah nodded, "alright," she rumbled, "here," she gave her the baby who continued to wail and cry, wanting her mother.

Cynthia took the baby from Leah, her blue eyes softening a good amount as she gazed at her first child.

The baby hiccuped and stopped crying, blinking open her hazel eyes and snuggled closer to her mother, awkwardly grasping at her shirt and the edge of her blanket.

Cynthia barely looked up as the door opened, too focused on her new baby and admiring her to take any notice about the person she already recognized as not hostile.

Sarah slipped into the dim lit room, her green eyes shining brightly at the sight of her daughter gently holding her granddaughter. "She's beautiful Cynthia," Sarah purred to her daughter with pride in the wild's language as she went over to her and gently brushed two fingers over the baby's pink face. Her fingers brushed over the tiny blonde bear ears that blended in well with the baby's short and wet blonde hair, "and a wild like you and Leon."

Cynthia bobbed her head, "Yeah, she's perfect." She then looked up at Sarah, her blue eyes turning nervous and a little timid, "W-where' is L-Leon? Is he s-still outside?"

"I didn't check," Sarah admitted, "but I assume so."

"I'll check," Leah said and she stood up before leaving the room to check and see if Leon was still outside.

Cynthia's blue eyes were already beginning to droop slightly from exhaustion, she was clearly beyond exhausted.

"What's her name?" Sarah asked her daughter gently, making sure to not touch the baby anymore, just in case Cynthia's instincts flared and she attacked or snapped at her mother which was likely due to how strong her instincts were.

"Lixa," Cynthia murmured as she rubbed one of her eyes before returning her arm to its earlier position.

"That's a beautiful name," Sarah praised her daughter, "she's got your face shape."

Cynthia traced Lixa's nose and chubby cheeks and chin with one of her fingers, her blue eyes fixed on the half asleep baby in her arms. "I guess." She smiled a little, "she's got L-Leon's freckles."

Leah returned to the room a moment later, her expression was a little concerned and held dread and hesitation. She needed to get Sarah a little bit aways from Cynthia before the wild lashed out at what she was about to say, "Sarah, do you want to get Bracken? He'll want to come see his granddaughter."
Sarah looked up at her, noticed her expression and nodded, "I'm sure he will, should I send in any of the nurses or anything?"

Leah nodded, "maybe one, so that we can clean a few things up."
Sarah nodded and left the room, sending in a young nurse as she did so.

Leah smiled faintly when she looked at Cynthia who was holding Lixa very close to her body, snuggling with her and watching her doze off, but the smile faded when she remembered what she had to tell the wild. She hadn't seen Leon out in the hallway which meant that he had disappeared, and that may be the straw that broke the camel's back. "Cynthia," she said gently, "I didn't see Leon outside."

Cynthia stared at her for a moment before she blinked, opened her mouth and closed it again, and whimpered, "no…"

Leah nodded, "I didn't see him anywhere."

Tears welled in Cynthia's eyes and she abruptly hissed, "you're lying!"

"I'm not Cynthia," Leah told her gently, "I'm not lying."

"Go away!" Cynthia roared, opening her mouth and giving a vicious mountain lion sounding roar, "leave me alone!"

Leah moved backward to the wall, making sure to stay in her range of sight so that she wouldn't panic or attack her.

Cynthia's blue eyes shone with hurt and heartbreak, she had thought that Leon wanted the baby too cause otherwise she wouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place, but clearly she was wrong. "Leon doesn't want our daughter," she whimpered to herself as she gently put down her daughter and tucked her into the blanket nest, touching her baby's face before she stood up an stepped out of the nest and onto the cool tile. "He abandoned me!" she lashed out in hurt turned to anger, sending a machine to the floor and yanking the breathing tube from her nose, hardly flinching when her nose started to bleed slightly from the force she had used. "He left me on my own!" She roared, and punched at the small drawer set toward the front of the room, her hand splintering the wood beneath it. "Leon left me again!" Her blue eyes were wild now, like a disoriented animal, dangerous and potentially deadly.

Then Lixa started to cry, startling her mother from her bubbling emotions and making Cynthia more stressed, unsure what she was supposed to do to quiet her.

Cynthia temporarily pushed away her emotions and quietly walked back over to the nest, not noticing how her nose was bleeding slightly and how her hand was now bloodied up as well; as she knelt back down in the nest and carefully picked Lixa up, holding her close to her chest. "What little one?" She tentatively cooed to her newborn daughter, looking at her.

Lixa blinked at her and made a quiet whimpering noise, which Cynthia quickly translated as Lixa was feeling her hurt as well, of which she wasn't surprised, it was common for infants for mirror their mother's mood or emotions, so her baby was very upset as well.

Cynthia cuddled her to her body and cooed a few times to her, trying to make her feel better while she was still in complete turmoil.

The door opened and Cynthia spun around to look at who was coming in, her blue eyes flashing protectively with a hiss escaping her mouth.

It was Leon, he had his cellphone in one hand and a small box tucked under his free arm, "I'm so sorry!" he exclaimed, "I was getting something for Cyn to eat later and Sarah just called me…" His English trailed off as he took in the sight of Leah standing next to a wall with a young nurse trembling slightly with wide eyes, a broken piece of medical equipment, a fist sized hole in the drawer set, and the red rims of his partner's blue eyes. "What… what happened?" He asked Cynthia in a rumble as he cautiously stepped deeper into the room and placed the box down on the stripped bed that Cynthia had clearly taken everything off of to put in her nest.

Cynthia hissed, "you abandoned me! You left me to bring my baby into the world completely by myself and you left!"

Leon's amber eyes immediately went to the small newborn held against his partner's chest as she said that and his eyes softened, "is that the baby?" he asked softly in a hushed rumble, "Sweetheart you're amazing!" he could see fuzzy blonde hair, tiny blonde bear ears and part of the baby's face from his vantage point.

"I'm not your 'sweetheart!' You left me again!" Cynthia hissed then whimpered looking like a kicked puppy, "even though you said you wouldn't."

Leon flinched, that stung, but he deserved it. "I-I didn't know what to do, you didn't want my help then you did and I didn't know which one you really wanted."

"I pleaded with you!" Cynthia hissed, "I tried everything to get you to come with me! I needed your help and support! I wanted to be able to know that my partner still loved me," her voice broke, "and what he did want the baby."

Leon looked guilty, Leah and his parents had told him repeatedly that he had to be there for the first time Cynthia gave birth, it would be extremely hard on her and if she left like her partner didn't want the baby she had tried so hard to bring into their lives then she would be crushed and if the opportunity came up she would give the baby up if only to have her partner happy. "I love you so much that I didn't want to upset you," he rumbled in a guilty tone, "I didn't want to make it harder on you by forcing you to constantly change your mind about if you wanted me here or not."

"I wanted you to help me," Cynthia whimpered to her partner, hurt and heartbreak in her blue eyes, "It hurt so much and you didn't help me."

Leon looked even more guilty as he slowly walked over to the nest, "I know, and I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do after you bit me."
It was Cynthia's turn to look guilty, "I didn't mean to, you kept pestering me and I was in a lot of pain."

Leon bobbed his head, "I know, I should've come in her and helped you," He sounded regretful now, "I'm sorry, I should've listened to Lion."

Cynthia whimpered, "you should've, I really really needed your help."

Leon slowly knelt at the edge of the large and soft nest, "I know, and next time I'll be here the entire time."

Cynthia cuddled Lixa, her blue eyes flickering with semi conflicted emotions. "I don't know," she whimpered, the sound sounded partially broken, "you rejected me once, and you didn't come with me this time."

"I can say I'm sorry to Pluto and back but it's up to you to accept it or not," Leon pleaded in a rumble, "I'm sorry, I've learned my lesson!"

Cynthia's blue eyes softened, and the female's wild's gentle heart was displayed by how she responded next. "I know, and I trust you."

Leon smiled in relief, "thank you, Sweetheart." He looked at the baby in his partner's arms who was quietly dozing, tired out and exhausted. "Can… Can I see the baby?"

Cynthia nodded and scooted closer to him so that his knees were touching her thigh, "yeah, her name's Lixa." She purred, the vibrations helping the baby sleep, "she's her father's daughter."

Leon smiled and with a feather lite touch brushed his fingers over his baby's freckles that was almost like his own. "She's perfect," he looked over at Cynthia and spoke in a hushed whisper, "I'm so sorry that I didn't come help you with her birth."

Cynthia smiled at him, her blue eyes were content now, happy now that Leon was there, her baby was safe and healthy, and she herself was safe with her partner around. "It's okay," she purred and leaned against him, nestling her face into his chest, "stay here with me."

Leon wrapped his arms around her, hugging her closer and resting his chin on the top of her head, "I will, I'm not going anywhere for however long you want me to."

Cynthia smiled and snuggled closer, her blue eyes drooping shut, "I'm gonna sleep," she slurred through a purr, feeling her exhaustion pulling down on her body. She scooted away from Leon and lowered herself down onto her side, lying there with Lixa held firmly but gently against her body.

Leon scooted over and sat behind her before he tucked Cynthia's bangs behind one of her ears and leaned down to kiss the top of her head, "Okay, I'll protect you," He rumbled gently and ran one hand up and down her back in a soothing fashion, "I won't let anyone touch you or the baby, I swear."

Cynthia didn't react, already asleep.
