ThornClan Accepting! V.3

Waterbone looked up to stare into her father's eyes. "I didn't know you were my father until I was 4 moons. You never visited us." She said, her voice flat.

Leopardstripe started purring loudly. "Of course I want another litter... but... it would be dangerous for you to birth the kits since we're getting older." He didn't mean to be a pain, but he wanted Cloudgaze to be safe.

(I don't really mind who finds Flamekit and I've already agreed that he'll be adopted by Thrushleap)

[Weredog]

Pikeflower frowned but didn't say anything. He was thinking. He could remember being there when his kits opened their eyes but it was true that he didn't visit a whole lot after that. "Is that what this is about?" He asked, "Are you mates with Falcondusk because of me? As a way to spite me or perhaps because your seeking a father figure?" He honestly wasn't expecting an answer and was more of less speaking out loud to himself. Finally, the far away thoughtful look in his gaze cleared up as he addressed Waterbone more directly to simply say, "I'm sorry."

"I'm not that old Leopardstripe." Cloudgaze said with a soft laugh, "Sixty five moons may seem old to some but I'm nowhere near elder status yet. I heard about some cats who had litters even into their hundred moons and been fine." She wasn't at all concerned about her own health when it came to giving birth. If she did happen to die in order to give life to her kits then so be it.

"Oh, okay." Hazelpaw felt a little disheartened at her words. "Is there anything else you want to do?" Hazelpaw was thinking of finding a warrior to go with her or joining a patrol, but she put them aside to hear Waterpaw's response.

Waterbone let out a small sigh. Was that it? 'Sorry'? That hardly seemed like an apology, but just a way to make himself look better. "Pikeflower, I have looked up to you as a role model in my apprentice times, but deciding who I'm mates with just doesn't seem... fair. I thought you would understand that I loved him, but you don't. You just don't." She looked down again, then padded off. She needed a walk to clear up her mind. Was it really this hard being a warrior? Why couldn't Pikeflower just understand that Waterbone loved Falcondusk, and Falcondusk loved her. It was either of their faults, it just sort of happened! Of course she could understand why Pikeflower was being such a nuisance; he wants to make sure his daughter is with the right cat. He doesn't want her to end up hurt in the end. Wait, but what if Waterbone did have Falcondusk's kits...? What would she do then? She would most likely get another queen to take care of them, but that was cruel! If she ever did have kits, it would be with the right tom. But wasn't Falcondusk the right tom? Ugh, why did everything have to be so hard? Waterbone sat down in the snow and wrapped her long tail around her legs. She felt like crying, but the tears wouldn't come. "I'm sorry. I'm letting everybody down." She whispered.

Leopardstripe nodded reluctantly. "Yeah, kits sounds nice." He purred before walking over to Cloudgaze to nuzzle her. This was a good time in life. Three litters of kits, and all of-- most of them were his.

Falcondusk ran outside as he looks around. He flicks his tail as he mews. "Waterbone? " he flicks his tail as he try and looked for his mate.

[PopcornWaffle]

Waterbone looked up. Had she heard her name? It was too quiet to figure that out, so she just laid in the snow, using her long fur to preserve her heat.

[Sunsmoke]

Falcondusk kept walking around as he called out for Waterbone. He growled as he looks around. He stop his self from growling. He push his self forward and mews loudly. "Waterbone! "

[PopcornWaffle]

Now that was definitely her name. Waterbone got up and trotted over to the source of the voice. "Falcondusk." She whispered, burying her muzzle in his chest fur.

[Weredog]

Pikeflower's face betrayed his confused, and somewhat hurt, feelings. "Waterbone wait!" He called after her but it was already too late. He knew it would be futile to try and follow since she obviously didn't want to be around him at the moment so he was forced to take the walk back towards the cabin alone.

Cloudgaze gave a loud purr of happiness and licked her mate's cheek. "We should have them soon. As soon as possible really. You know, before I get any older." Her voice held a teasing tone to it but she was being serious about having more kits as soon as they could.
