70Squirrelflight's P.O.V
One Month later -
... ... ... ... ...
I sat beside Crag. Today was the day our kits were becoming apprentices. I felt pride surge through me. They were six moons old. I leaned on Crag. I was so exicted. I saw my kits running around. They were bugging almost everyone. Star was sitting with Briarlight. They were talking. Even though Star was still young, she was very mature for her age. She was going to become an medicine cat today. I smiled. I looked over and so Ivypool coming out of the nursery. I walked over to her.
"Ivypool, what were you doing?" I asked.
"Huh? Oh, I was making an extra nest. I'm actually expecting kits." Ivypool said smiling.
"Oh! I can guess who the father is?" I said more than asked.
"Is it that obvious?" She asked.
"Yeah, I could tell it was Foxleap." I said smiling.
"Yeah. I got to go and tell Foxleap. Bye." Ivypool said padded off.
I nodded before walking over to Brambleclaw. He was watching Leafpool with pride. I knew she was going to be giving birth soon. I sat down beside my ex-mate. I tapped him on the shoulder. He turned to me.
"Hello Squirrelflight." Brambleclaw said.
"Hi. I was wondering who would be the mentors for my kits." I said.
"Oh. Jayfeather, of course, for Star, Dovewing for Redkit, Blossomfall for River, and Ivypool for Dreamkit." Brambleclaw said.
I smiled.
"Just think, In seven months or less you will be naming Mentors to your kits." I teased.
He smiled.
"Yeah. I can't wait." He said smiling.
I smiled. I heard my name being called. I looked over and saw Leafpool. She was at the nursery entrance. I got up and padded over to her. But not before saying goodbye to Bramleclaw. I sat beside my sister and smiled. But I frowned when she looked nervous.
"What is it?" I asked.
"The kits are one week late. What if they don't come? What if I'm not pregnant and just fat?" She asked.
"They'll be fine! And you are pregnant. Trust me." I said with chuckle.
Leafpool got paroniod during preganices. She got like this when she was pregnant with Jayfeather, Hollyleaf, and Lionblaze. I heard Firestar call for the cermony. I looked at Leafpool and smiled. She gave me a weak smile in return. I padded over to my kits and started to groom them. Crag was doing the same. Cherrykit and Molekit was watching beside their mother. Soon my kits were well groomed. I smiled.
"Redkit, Dreamkit, River, and Star have reached their six moons. They are ready to become apprentices." Meowed Firestar. "Dovewing, You have proved yourself to be a mighty warrior. I believe it is time for you to take on an apprentice. You will mentor Redkit. I know you pass on what you had learned onto him. From this day till he has earned his Warrior name, Redkit will be known as Redpaw."
Dovewing touched noses with Redpaw. Redpaw sat down next to hwer and watched his brothers and sisters.
"Blossemfall, you are a very skilled fighter. You are now ready for an apprentice. You will mentor River. I know you will pass on all your fighting skills onto River. From this day till he has earned his warrior name, River will be known as Riverpaw." Firestar called as Blossemfall and Riverpaw touched noses. "Ivypool, you are also a very skilled fighter. You are also ready for an apprentice. You will mentor Dreamkit. I know you will pass on your fighting skills. From this day till she has earned her warrior name, Dreamkit will be known as Dreampaw." Firestar called as Ivypool touched noses with Dreampaw.
All of a sudden Jayfeather appeared. He stopped and smiled at Star. I grinned. I know he won't admit it but he is attached too Star already. I know it's because she spends more time in the Medicine Cat den than the nursery.
"Jayfeather, you are also ready to take on an Apprentice. You have said the Star has what is takes to be a good medicine cat. I know you will pass on everything you have learnt from Leafpool down to Star. That is if she agrees. Do you Star?" Firestar asked.
"I do." She said tingling in exictment.
"From this moment on till she has earned her medicine cat name will be know as Starpaw." Firestar called.
Everyone started to chante the new apprentices names. I watched with pride. My kits were apprentices now. I looked over at Starpaw. Something told me she was going to be a paw full for Jayfeather. I sat down next to Crag. His eyes were glowing with pride. I smiled. I looked over at Leafpool. She was sharing tongues with Ferncloud. I smiled. Yeah. Life is great.

The War - A few weeks later -
... ... ... ... ...
I hissed as some cat clawed at my side. I turned and pounced on the cat. There was a war happening right now. I fought the cat to the ground. I bite his neck as hard as I could. He went lifeless and dissappeared. I heard a screech of pain. I turned to see Leafpool. She still hasn't kitted. She was fighting some cat with a torn ear. Brambleclaw was there in an instant. He fought the dark forest warrior off and killed him. I noticed that Leafpool still looked in pain. But there was no claw marks. Than it hit me. Leafpool wasn't hurt. She was in labor! I ran over to the medicine cat den. Starpaw poked her head out. She looked at me. Worry and fear was in her geen eyes.
"Tell Jayfeather that Leafpool is in labor!" I said.
"I will once he gets back." She said.
"Where is he?" I asked.
She angled her head. I turned to see Jayfeather with his cheek pressed against some she-cat's. The she-cat was white with blue eyes.
"I'm right here Love." She said with a purr.
"Send any wounded to me." Jayfeather annouced.
"I will." She said turning around and rejoining the fight.
I could see the pain and grief in his eyes. I frowned. Jayfeather was in love. I felt sorry for him. Jayfeather turned towards me. He looked at me in shock.
"Leafpool is in labor." I said before racing off to my sister.
Leafpool was now on the ground and in pain. Brambleclaw stood over his mate and attacked anyone that came to close. I stopped and stood beside Brambleclaw as Jayfeather started take care of Leafpool. I saw a tom charge at me. I bared my fangs. I was about to pounce when all of a sudden a flash of dark grey appeared. It was Crag. He fought the tom down. The tom ended up vanishing once Crag killed him, a sign he was a dark forest warrior. Crag ran to my side. With that the three of us fought to protect Leafpool and Jayfeather. All of a sudden, the dark forest cats were gone. But the war was still going on. We knew that another wave of Dark Forest Warriors would appear. I turned to see that Leafpool had already gave birth tofive healthy kits. Crag, Bramblestripe, Jayfeather, Leafpool, and I picked up a kit and put them in the nursery. Everyone in the nursery looked shocked to see us enter with five new kits. We placed them in Leafpools nest and made sure they were hidden. I looked over at Leafpool. She looked tired. She was in no shape to fight. I looked at Bramblestripe. I could tell he knew that Leafpool couldn't fight. He padded over to her and stood over her and the kits protectfully. I heard yowls of terror. I pushed my head out of the nursery. The secound wave had arrived. I looked back at Leafpool. I knew that no matter what happened that the kits would be fine. I turned and joined the fight.
... ... ... ... ...
After The War -
... ... ... ... ...
I smiled down at Leafpool's kits. There were two toms and three she-cats. The first tom was bright ginger color. The seound tom was a dark brown tabby tom like his father. The first she-cat was a light brown female kit with black and white flecks. The second she-cat was light grey with a weird looking brown spot on her hind leg that was in the shape of a heart. The third she-cat was a mixture of black with sandy fur so it's look misty in the moonlight. I smiled at them.
"What are there names?" I asked.
"Hmm... The she-cat with black and white flecks will be known as Frecklekit. The secound she-cat that had a heart shape black mark will be known as Heartkit. The she-kit that has a mixture of black and sandy fur will be Mistykit, The tabby tom will be Ravenkit, and the ginger tom... Um... I'm not sure." Leafpool said.
"How about Firekit?" Bramblestar asked.
"I love it!" Leafpool said.
Firestar had died during the battle. I was right. This kits are the future of the clan. And the were alright. I knew everything was going to be fine.
... ... ... ... ...
Frecklekit is from Sunleaf

Mistykit: LeafpoolandCrowfeather4ever
