Fognose nuzzled her mate as he looked proudly down at their newborn kits. “You did so wonderful.” Swiftwind purred “All of you are so wonderful. I love you so much.” He licked her cheek and Fognose purred loudly. After so many moons of endless longing, she finally had the mate and family of her dreams. “We should name them.” She whispered. Swiftwind swallowed and lifted a shaky paw. “I’ve always wanted my son to be named Toadkit, after my father.” He suggested sheepishly “Of course, we don’t have to, but I think it’d be nice.” Fognose grinned broadly at him. “I think Toadkit is a wonderful name, my dear.” She bent down to give their only son a lick on the head. His black ear twitched at the contact and his white spots shifted as he snuggled closer to Fognose. She looked to the next kit, the brown tabby she-kit, and let out a little giggle. “She looks like a little bean.” She observed. Swiftwind agreed, and Beankit was named. The grey tabby she-kit reminded Swiftwind of a snail he had met earlier in his life. When he was a kit, he was exploring and tripped over a snail with a grey swirly shell. Snailkit was welcomed with a loving lick as well. The grey and white she-kit caused a bit more thinking. “Wisteriakit?” Fognose suggested. Swiftwind shook his head. “That doesn’t feel right. What about Cloudkit?” The queen tilted her head. “She’s not light enough for that.” She looked out of the nursery, and saw a little stem peeking over the lip of the hollow. A raindrop rolled down its leaves and landed on Owlshade’s head, much to his dismay. Fognose giggled, and recognized the plant instantly. “What about Mintkit?” She smiled. Swiftwind looked down at her, and she reciprocated his mate’s smile. “That’s perfect.” He purred, and nuzzled Fognose once more. He nuzzled each of his kits in turn, and looked upon his family with bright, proud eyes. “I’m so happy, Fognose. I don’t know why I didn’t ask you to become my mate sooner, but that doesn’t matter now. Thank you for these kits, I adore every single one, and I promise I will always protect them.” Fognose chuckled at his speech. “You’re so sweet, Swiftwind. I love you.” The two cats nuzzled each other once more, and Swiftwind curled around Fognose, resting his chin on her flank, and watching his newborn kits squirm against their mother.

“Does his nest have to be next to mine?” Butterflypaw scoffed. The apprentices were making final arrangements for their new den, and Tickpaw had placed his ball of moss next to hers. “He’s so scrawny, and Grassheart always said that scrawny cats get sick easier. I don’t want to catch anything.” Tickpaw flattened his ears in shame and picked up his bundle, walking over to where Piperpaw was setting up her nest. Heronpaw scoffed. “He’s scrawny because your mother overfed you, and abandoned him.” He said calmly, eyes still fixed on the moss he was trying to flatten. Mosspaw blinked at his brother’s words, and silently kept his eyes down. “Excuse me?” Butterflypaw squealed “How dare you! Grassheart didn’t abandon him, he rejected us.” Piperpaw lashed her tail. “Is that what she told you?” She spat “Of course she did. She doesn’t want precious little Butterflypaw to feel sad.” The apprentice opened and closed her mouth. “You’re just jealous that my mom loves me so much.” She scoffed. She stuck her nose in the air and returned to sorting out her nest. Piperpaw rolled her eyes. “Our mother loves us. She just doesn’t spoil us. There’s a difference.” She said firmly. Butterflypaw flicked an ear. “Why are you all bullying me like this?” She wailed. “I mean, it is technically true.” Applepaw murmured, and Archpaw agreed. “She kicked him out of her nest when he was born.” He added. “Why would she do that?” Butterflypaw interjected. “Because she thought he was a parasite.” Darkpaw sighed. The oldest apprentice had been oddly quiet since she had failed her assessment and her brother passed. “He was ‘a burden’.” She finished and rolled over. “Well, she probably had good reason.” She giggled “I mean look at him!” Tickpaw shuffled his paws. He was lanky, and his ribs showed at the back, but he was just lithe. He had some muscle, but he hadn’t been training long enough for it to show. He had large ears, but Elmstar had assured him that it was a positive thing for good hunting. Piperpaw stepped in front of her friend. “It’s not like he’d want to sleep next to a pig like you, anyways.” She spat “Come on, Tickpaw, you can set up your nest by mine.” The topic was instantly dropped as Tickpaw happily formed his nest next to Piperpaw’s and Butterflypaw stomped away in a huff, probably to go cry to Grassheart. Tickpaw didn’t mind, though. Hardly anyone noticed her absence, except for that there was a comfortable silence that replaced her loud wailing.

Twigpaw bounced along the path. She and Ryepaw had gotten permission from their mentors to explore the area close to camp. Once she had joined BearClan, she and Ryepaw got off an instant friendship. When Twigpaw revealed that she was attracted to she-cats, she expected Ryepaw to abandon her, like her parents did. Instead, Ryepaw fully supported her, and the two grew closer from it. “Someone looks happy.” The golden she-cat observer. Twigpaw hummed. “So, tell me moreClan legends! I heard about the bear, so what happened after Ashtail formed his group?” She asked curiously. She had fallen in love with the lore of the Clan, even if she hadn’t been there to experience it, and wanted to know every story. “Well,” Ryepaw sighed “He killed a lot of cats. Rumor says he even drowned his own kits, Owlshade and Darkpaw’s littermates. Then, towards the end, he got really nasty. He, uh, killed Redpaw. That’s Nightfur’s son, Nettlemist’s brother. It was really sad. Mink blossom tried to stop him, but he killed her too. That’s why Bumbleflight is the first medicine cat in a while.” Twigpaw nodded. “That’s awful. There are some things I’m glad I missed.” She sighed. “Why are you so interested in our history, anyways?” Ryepaw asked. Her friend shrugged. “Dunno.” Twigpaw admitted “I’ve always liked stories. My papa used to tell me amazing ones! Like one time her went swimming all the way across the lake!” She purred. Her ears lowered and her cheeks grew red. “P-Plus I’m meeting a friend tomorrow, and I want to have some cool stories for her.” Ryepaw’s interest was peaked. “Oh?” She meowed slyly “What friend is this?” Twigpaw sighed in adoration. “Her name is Cigüepaw.” She purred “I’ve only met her once, but I really like her already.” Ryepaw flicked her friend’s shoulder with her tail. “Look at you!” The apprentice squealed “I’m so proud! I hope everything goes well! Let me know how it goes?” Twigpaw giggled and pressed her forehead to her friends. “Of course.” She meowed “I’ll tell you everything.” The two she-cats shared a moment of closeness, and continued their walk.

Owlshade felt weird. It was odd not having a nest close to his sister. They had never truly been separated, but now they were on different sides of the hollow. The sky had been grey and a bit overcast, and had made a chilly morning, but this was Owlshade’s favorite weather. After his assault by a raindrop, he had found a comfortable spot to take in the air and the nice brisk feeling it gave his bones, enjoying the world through half-lidded eyes. His trance was disturbed by a nudge. “Good morning, new warrior!” Ravencloud purred. Owlshade licked his mother’s cheek and purred, moving over to make room for her to sit. “Mornin’ Ravencloud.” He greeted “I feel like we haven’t talked in a while.” The she-cat nodded. “I agree.” She sighed longingly “I miss my kits. I hope your sister doesn’t take the news too bad. Lots of cats fail their first time, it’s nothing to be worried about. I remember Darkmask failed, like, five times.” Owlshade blinked. “That’s a lot! I might tell her that later, to make her feel better.” His eyes moved back to the apprentice’s den “I think she misses me.” Ravencloud chuckled. “Makes sense.” She agreed “You two were always the best of friends, attached at the hip even.” She nuzzled her son. “I’m proud of you, Owlshade. I know that you will be a great, loyal warrior. Always remember, blood doesn’t make you. Just because you’re his son doesn’t mean that you’re destined to be like him.” Sunstomp called out the she-cats name and she nodded. “I have to go on patrol, but we’ll share a meal when I get back, okay?” Owlshade nodded and smiled as his mother licked his ear before scurrying away. As he watched her leave, her words lingered in his mind. He would be lying if he wasn’t thinking about his heritage. Viperstar was his father, and a terrible cat. There were several instances in his life where he would receive uneasy looks and could pick up on cats whispering about him. He didn’t let the others see it, but it bothered him inside, and he could tell it bothered Darkpaw too. The approach of another cat interrupted his thoughts. “Oh, hey Ryepaw.” He purred. Ryepaw rubbed against his shoulder and reciprocated his purr. The two had grown closer during their training. Rainpaw had teased his sister constantly and, though she would never admit it, he was right about her having a crush on the young black tom. “So,” She pressed excitedly, “What’s it like being a warrior?” Owlshade chuckled. “Not that different than an apprentice, actually. It sorta feels weird not training in the morning. I did go on my first patrol, though, and that was pretty interesting.” Ryepaw absorbed all of this information with wide eyes. She couldn’t wait to become a warrior. She only had a few more lessons to pass, but impatience itched at her pelt. Owlshade saw her eagerness and flicked her playfully with his tail. “Don’t worry,” He promised, “I’ll save a spot for your nest next to mine.” He gave his friend a wink and didn’t notice the bright pink blush that crawled up her face. “S-Sounds great.” She choked out, looking over her shoulder. Embarrassment clung to her pelt and she needed to get out of there. “H-Hey I think Blackbriar’s calling me. She’s my new mentor and wanted to get out early. I’ll see you around.” Ryepaw didn’t wait for his reply and scurried quickly to where Blackbriar was sitting by the camp entrance, leaving Owlshade to look after her and wonder if he had said something wrong.

Tulipclaw groomed Grousecall’s neck. The two nursery helpers had stepped outside to give Fognose, Swiftwind and their new family some space. Tulipclaw had just returned from her training session with Butterflypaw. The young she-cat was definitely a pawful, but with some gentle reprimanding, she had been focused enough to somewhat perfect her hunting crouch. Butterflypaw being her first apprentice, Tulipclaw didn’t expect to teach the skills perfectly, but if things continued the same way, the young cat would be a fine warrior. Now, rhytmically lapping at her friend’s fur was sootheing. But she almost choked when she saw Elmstar walk through the entrance. It wasn’t the leader that caught her attention, or even one of the new cats. It was the other one. The large, fluffy, absolutely gorgeous she-cat that walked next to her. Tulipclaw felt her heart pound in her chest as Elmstar introduced the cat as Ricecub. Grousecall let out a purr of laughter. “Fancy the new warrior, do we?” She said coyly. Tulipclaw snapped her gaze to her companion. She swallowed. “W-What?” She asked hoarsely “N-No, of course not.” She rose to her paws and looked down to avoid showing her blush to her clanmates, and dissapeared into the warrior’s den. Grousecall chuckled and returned to her grooming.

Bumbleflight tilted his head as he attempted to sort his herbs. He had finished digging a few holes in the side of his den wall, trying to form suitable storage compartments. He was happy when someone cleared their throat to interrupt him. It was Harriercloud, peaking in cautiously. “You can come in.” The medicine cat chuckled and the she-cat nervously sat down. “Where’s Rainpaw?” She asked. “Deerleap took him hunting.” He responded simply. She only nodded and a few moments passed in silence before Bumbleflight opened his jaw. “So what can I help you with?” Harriercloud took a deep breath. “Bumbleflight, I...I think I love you.” She murmured “I know you’re a medicine cat now, but you can still have a mate and kits, and I was wondering...if you’d possibly consider being mine?” She squeezed her eyes tightly and waited for rejection. But it didn’t come. In fact, Bumbleflight was just staring at her in utter shock. “Harriercloud…” he whispered “Look, you’re a great she-cat but I just don’t think of you that way. I’m so sorry, but I’m just not mate material.” Harriercloud’s heart shattered. She started to shake and her eyes grew watery. “Oh.” She meowed “I-I see. Sorry for bothering you.” She hung her head in defeat and turned to leave but Bumbleflight stopped her. “Wait.” He pleaded “I’m sorry I can’t be your mate. But I’ve always wanted to be a father. If it’s alright with you, I’d love to father your kits. I just...I can’t be a good mate to you. I’m sorry.” Harriercloud smiled, some hope restored. “Bumbleflight I would love that.” She licked his forehead and nodded “Let’s just...keep this between us okay?” The medicine cat agreed to her terms, and watched as she exited the den, shock still clinging to him.
~~~
The medicine cat staggered to his nest. Rainpaw had been dead asleep for a few hours now, but Bumbleflight had to do late night check ups on the queens and kits, as well as checking Hickorywind for signs of a cold. Everyone was fine, but the tom’s energy was completely zapped. He flopped down into his nest and curled up tightly in a ball. He had agreed to take on the task of being a medicine cat, because he thought he knew the basics. Great StarClan was he wrong. The tom knew basic things, but he truly was clueless for others. He didn’t know how he would learn, and he was convinced he would let the clan down at some point. Heaving a great sigh, he closed his eyes and let sleep capture him. But he regained his vision rather quickly. He was standing in a flowery field, and a single figure was waiting in the middle. He squinted to get a better look, and was surprised at who he recognized. “Minkblossom?” He called out. The former medicine cat turned around and grinned at him. “I heard you needed a mentor. Come closer, your training begins now.”
