Munkus and Celeste ran as fast as they could with Misto bleeding out. As much as the pain in Celeste's body stung she would not stop until Misto was better. Right now nothing about her matters, all that matters now is Misto and their future. Munkus was worrying about the dying Misto in his arms, but he was worrying about his daughter as well. How is she going to go on without Misto? Soon the three cats got to the junkyard Celeste took Misto from her father and ran to Jelly.

"Jelly, please help! Misto, he protected me! And now h-he's dying! And it's all my fault help, please!" Celeste begged. Jelly was at first confused then she sprung into action taking the injured tom and treating his wounds. Munkus decided it was not good for Celeste to see her soon to be mate screaming in pain. Munkus grabbed her and almost had to carry her out because she was fighting him so much. "No, father please! He needs me! Please!" she cried.

"Misto would not want you to cry over him, Celeste. He would want you to be strong." Munkus comforted his bawling daughter outside.

"B-but father….I-I need to be with him. This is my fault and I need to know he's okay." She started to sob into her father's chest. Munkus held his daughter tight to him.

"Listen and listen closely. This is not your fault. If it is anyone's it is Macavity's. You shouldn't blame yourself for something you didn't do. Do you understand?" he soothed his daughter. Celeste nodded into her father's chest.

"I'm sorry…I just…I can't live without him…" she whispered.

"That's what your mother said the day I was hurt before we were mates. You're just like her." He kissed Celeste's head. The two waited for about another hour. That's when Jelly walked out.

"Jelly…" Celeste started, but she didn't have the courage to ask.

"He's going to be okay…" a wave of relief washed across Celeste. She started to cry in happiness. "But, there was a lot of blood. The procedure caused a lot of physical stress for him. He will be very weak for a long time. I'm not sure how well he'll pull through, but encouragement always helps. I've seen miracles be performed in this den. This is no exception." Celeste nodded."I suggest you go and see him. He probably needs you now more than ever." Jelly said. Celeste silently walked into the den and gasped softly at the sight of her mate wrapped in bandages. She sat next to Misto's unmoving body and held his paw until he woke up.

"Misto…you're going to make it through this. I'm here. You can't leave me. I won't let you." She waited and waited for him to awaken. She was beginning to lose hope in Misto waking up, but just as she was about to cry for him his eyes fluttered open. She ran to his side holding tight to him. "Misto, you're awake! I was so scared I'd lost you. I didn't know what I'd have done if you left me!"

"I wouldn't leave my mate." Misto said weakly.

"Misto…I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I let this happen to you." Celeste started to cry a little bit.

"Celeste, this is not your fault. Don't ever say that." he said using his strength to make sure she understood. Celeste smiled and stayed with Misto until he fell asleep again. Although he was asleep, Celeste noticed that Misto had a firm grip on her hand. He was going to make it. He was going to live.

Munkustrap walked to Jelly's den to find that his daughter had fallen asleep next to her mate's side. She was lying right next to him. Munkus couldn't find it in himself to take her home to get more rest. It looked like she was getting enough as it is. He smiled and felt a paw on his shoulder. Demeter was there wrapping her arms around his neck.

"They're meant to be together." Demeter said with a purr.

"I know, they'll be together for their whole lives." Munkus said. The two parents left the two kids to sleep in peace.

The next morning Celeste awoke to Misto moving next to her. She smiled and got up next to him. She got up off of the bed when Jelly walked in.

"Misto, how are you feeling?" Jelly asked.

"Alright, but much better than before." He said a bit stronger. Celeste said goodbye to Misto and left him so he could have his wounds checked. When she was out the door she ran into Mungojerrie.

"Kit, I was worrying about you all night! I thought ya might be dead!" Jerrie said hugging her tight. Celeste smiled at her old friend. Tugger joined over by the two and joined in on the hug even though he hates being hugged a lot.

"So Celeste, you and Mist together now huh?" he asked nudging her. Celeste blushed a shade of red.

"REMARKABLE!!!" Celeste heard someone shout from Jelly's den. She ran in to see what had happened. She saw Jelly smiling. "I've never seen someone gather so much strength after wounds like these." She said. Misto looked over Jelly's shoulder and smiled at Celeste, knowing that it was her being there for him that healed him. Celeste smiled back; they had a bright future ahead.

A/N: I don't know if I should continue or not. Tell me if I should or if this is a good ending point. I hope you enjoyed it.
