Chapter 2

I rubbed my check against Leafpool's and she purred louder. "I love you, Crowfeather." She breathed. I backed away and looked at her. "Really? I love you too, Leafpool." I rumbled. "Crowfeather I need to tell you something." I looked at her strangely, "What's wrong?" Leafpool sighed and sat down. "Crowfeather, I checked with Brightheart yesterday and she told me something wonderful." I couldn't stand it any longer. "What is it?!" I burst out. Leafpool looked amused for a moment and then opened her mouth, "I'm having kits!"

I blinked for a moment. Could this be true? Leafpool, a medicine cat having my kits? I smiled and licked her muzzle. "This is wonderful! I can't believe it! You and I having our first litter of kits!" I couldn't stop bouncing around. Suddenly Leafpool's smile faded into a frown.

I instantly stopped and padded back over to her. "But Crowfeather, what are we gonna do with them? Keep them in your Clan or ThunderClan?" I bowed my head and sat down. "I wonder what Feathertail would've done?" Leafpool pricked her ears and curled up next to me. "You miss her, huh?" I licked her head and purred, "I love you both. Nothing could ever stop me. Not even our leaders." Leafpool purred drowsily and fell asleep. I put my tail around her and went to sleep.

I found myself at Fourtrees. "I don't remember coming here." I told myself. I looked around and saw a starry object coming down from the sky. The object formed into a pale silver cat. I yowled in happiness. Feathertail! I longed to bury my nose in her pelt, but I knew this was only a dream.

"Crowfeather, I'm so proud of you and Leafpool. I know you still grieve over me but you and I will met in StarClan." I asked, "So you aren't mad about Leafpool having my kits?" Feathertail smiled and put her tail on my shoulder, "Crowfeather, can't you see by now? I just want to see you happy and if she makes you happy then I'm happy." I purred and touched noses with her before waking up to find Leafpool next to me.

I nudged her. "Leafpool, its time to go back to our Clans." She growled good-naturedly, "I don't want to go!" I flicked her ear with my tail. "Neither do I, but we have to get back to our Clans." I watched as she stretched her body in the moonlight, making her pelt glow silver. No wonder I fell in love with her.

She touched my muzzle with her nose and twined her tail with mine. "Bye Crowfeather, I'll see you soon." I faintly smiled and answered back in a whisper, "Bye, Leafpool, I love you." I watched as her tail disappeared in the undergrowth. I hunted before I got back to camp. Onestar and Ashfoot greeted me. They both growled, "Where have you been?"
