Sunheart padded slowly towards the WindClan border. She couldn't wait to tell Hawkfur but she wasn't looking forward to not seeing him until her kits became apprentices. She knew that Hawkfur would understand. He'd also be excited. Two kits! They were having two kits! Sunheart could hardly believe it herself. She would run but she was just too tired to do so right at the moment. Plus, Vineleaf had warned her before she went out to take it easy.

Finally she arrived at the WindClan border. Hawkfur was waiting patiently for her. He leaped to the ThunderClan side of the border and nuzzled her. "I wasn't sure if you were coming tonight considering what happened yesterday," he meowed.

"This is our last night for awhile actually," Sunheart replied sadly.

"Why?" Hawkfur asked, looking a little scared.

Sunheart let out a mrrow of laughter. "Don't worry. It's not a bad thing," she assured him.

"Then what is it?" Hawkfur asked looking a little confused.

"I'm going to have kits," Sunheart answered.

Hawkfur stood still for a moment, a smile spreading slowly across his face. "I'm going to be a father? I'm going to be a father!" Hawkfur leaped with joy and nuzzled Sunheart. "I can't believe it! How many?"

"Two," Sunheart purred.

"You know I'm always here if you need me. I would come running from anywhere if you needed me," Hawkfur told her.

"I know that," Sunheart purred, pressing her cheek to his.

"Can we at least have one last night by the lake together?" Hawkfur asked.

"How could I say no?" Sunheart answered and she followed him toward the lake. They walked side-by-side in perfect step. They sat down at the edge of the lake and gazed at the stars.

"I wonder which ancestors are ours," Hawkfur meowed.

"I bet mine are glaring down at me for the time I pushed Shadowmoon into the lake," Sunheart laughed.

"You didn't!" Hawkfur meowed in shock.

"I did, but he got me back by pushing me into a bramble bush later," Sunheart replied.

"I bet your mentors didn't like that," Hawkfur guessed.

"I don't know about Shadowmoon's mentor but I know Bumblestripe didn't like it," Sunheart stated with a smiled, remembering all the days of training with Bumblestripe. "He was the best mentor I could've had."

"I think we all think that about our mentors," Hawkfur meowed.

"Who was your mentor?" Sunheart asked.

"Emberfoot," Hawkfur answered. "He taught me so much. I had never known there was so much to learn."

The sat in silence for awhile, Sunheart leaning on Hawkfur. His fur felt warm and comforting. I can't believe I won't be able to see him for so long, she thought as she got up. "We'd better head back."

"Alright, but if you ever need me, no matter what, just call me and I'll come running," Hawkfur meowed. Sunheart nodded and the two shared one last nuzzled before they headed their seperate ways.
