Medicine Cat's Kits

by Moonstar777

You need to read Rose and Leaf to understand what's happening here. Leafpool has her kits, but what do the other Clans think? And will Leafpool pick being a medicine cat, or her new love?

2. Chapter 1

-1It had been a quarter moon since Rosepaw, Sunpaw, Moonpaw, Starpaw, Eaglepaw, and Talonpaw became apprentices. Leafpool was spending most of her time in the nursery. Things were no different from normal in ThunderClan. Jaypaw had gone out to collect herbs, and most cats were out hunting or training. Since it was Leaf-bare they needed all the prey they could get. Around sunhigh, Leafpool knew. Her kits were coming.

"Daisy! My kits are coming! Find a cat and send them to find Jaypaw! Quickly, I need his help!" cried Leafpool. Daisy, knowing Leafpool would only ask her for help if she really needed it, hurried out to find a warrior in camp. She saw Sandstorm first, and told her what Leafpool had said.

"I'll go now. Send someone else too. Brightheart is in the warrior's den. She can go." Sandstorm meowed hurriedly when Daisy finished speaking. Without waiting for a reply, Sandstorm ran off into the forest and decided to look near the lake first. Daisy went to go see Brightheart.

"I'll see what Jaypaw needed. I know where most herbs are, and I should be able to tell what Jaypaw went to collect." Brightheart replied when Daisy told her about Leafpool.

"Watermint stock is low. It would be near the lake, so that's where Jaypaw should be." Brightheart muttered to herself before running off to find Jaypaw. It was Sandstorm that found Jaypaw first. After telling him what Leafpool had said, Sandstorm took the bundle of herbs for Jaypaw, and they raced off to camp together. When they returned to camp, Jaypaw raced off to the nursery leaving Sandstorm to put the herbs in the medicine den. After putting the herbs in the medicine den, Sandstorm went over to Daisy.

"Did Brightheart go out to look for Jaypaw?" asked Sandstorm.

"Yes." answered Daisy.

"Where?" asked Sandstorm.

"By the lake." replied Daisy.

"Is she back yet?" Sandstorm asked.

"Not yet." replied Daisy, "But she can take care of herself." Daisy added, seeing the look on Sandstorm's face.

"I'm going to go find her, anyway. It's cold and there's no reason for us to have her stay out." Sandstorm meowed. Before Daisy could reply she ran out of camp and toward the lake.
