Many moons later
Stumpynose had ended up being right. Only two moons after the events Gemlight became Bramblestar's mate again and they had another litter of kits they could finally raise together.
Their second litter was two dark brown kits: a tom named Pinekit and a she-kit named Dapplekit with white paws.
Stormcloud became mates with Milkpool and she was currently expecting kits. Twigbreeze's mate Stumpynose had their litter of three and Goldenheart and their parents were going to see them for the first time.
"I can't believe this is actually happening." Stumpynose purred. "I didn't think me and Twigbreeze would ever happen and it did and we have such beautiful kits."
"What are you going to name them?" Goldenheart asked. Goldenheart originally had a crush on Beetlepaw and that was the real reason why she was angry when she saw him with Eaglepaw. Now all three of them were warriors and she no longer liked him and now Eagleflight was expecting kits and she was certain who the father was.
The kits at Stumpynose's belly were a brown tabby tom, an orange she-kit, and a tortoiseshell she-kit. Twigbreeze was right by her side and was looking at his newborn kits with delight. It was like his new family was bringing a happier side to him that wasn't full of despair.
"Any ideas my love?" Stumpynose asked her mate.
"How about Hawkkit for the tom?" Twigbreeze suggested.
The two ended up naming the kits Hawkkit, Poppykit, and Swiftkit. Pineclaw and Dapplefeather came in to see their nephew and nieces as well.
Bramblestar and Gemlight were watching all this relieved that the troubles in their relationship were past them. Their love never disappeared for long.
"The Clan is thriving so well." Bramblestar purred. "Stumpynose just had kits and Milkpool and Rosepetal aren't far long from their litters. I'm so happy that the pain and heartbreak is over."
"Me too." Gemlight replied leaning against him. She was so glad that they made it, that after those moons of separation they still loved each other.
Bramblestar realized when he was choosing between Squirrelflight and Jessy all those moons ago...he had made the better choice.
