Pumpkinflower couldn't believe just a few sunrises ago she gave birth to two kits; vital assets to ThunderClan's survival. She couldn't wait to share them with the rest of ThunderClan. She looked down at the two small bundles of fur at her swollen with milk belly. The red tortoiseshell she-kit looked like her, yet she had more red in her fur. The little tom had dark ginger and white fur. Just like Blazekit.... She signed. They were absolutely perfect. She quickly gave them each a swift lick on the head, then she slowly got to her paws.
Howlingstar would have been by to give her some fresh-kill, but she figured he was busy this morning. She had been hearing talk of a border battle that was in the works. She hoped that wasn't the case, but she figured she'd best go and find out. She walked out of the nursery and looked out at the quiet camp. It was still early in the morning and everyone must still be sleeping. She walked over to the fresh-kill pile and picked out a juicy squirrel for herself. Scanning a glance toward the Howlingstar's den, Pumpkinflower picked up the squirrel and walked toward her mate's den. She ducked her head inside and saw his light brown fur in the back of the den. She gingerly made her way over to him. "Good morning, my love." She purred softly.

Howlingstar was in the state where he had awoken, but continued to lay with his eyes closed, resting his mind peacefully while consciously listening to the morning sounds of the forest and the rest of the clan was slowly waking up. He lay curled up comfortably in his den, which was tight for his size, but snug. His soft nest of dry moss was bliss. He was facing away from the entrance, but his ears were pointed towards the rest of the camp. Howlingstar recognized her sweet scent before he saw her or heart her meow a greeting, and immediately know who it was.
He purred, calling her by her name, as he raised his head and turned to look at her. "Good morning, Pumpkinflower." Howlingstar pulled his huge paws out from under him and sat up. How are you feeling?" He meowed, referring to the fact that she had had kits not even a few sunrises ago. Howlingstar padded over to affectionately nuzzle his mate and lick her ears, purring loudly. "How are Pinekit and Lionkit" He asked, though he was already moving to exit his den and go visit them himself. Howlingstar waited for Pumpkinflower to come with him and walk at his side.

"I am doing well for giving birth a few days ago." Pumpkinflower meowed in response. Her belly was still swollen, but Tigerstep assured her it was normal for a few weeks after birth. "I needed to stretch my legs for a awhile. I was getting really cramped." She added swiftly, before following him out of the den.
Once outside they walked slowly back toward the nursery. Sitting the squirrel down by the nursery entrance, Pumpkinflower took a swift peek into the nursery. The dark shapes of Pinekit and Foxkit stood out in the pale brown nest. They were both still sound asleep so she had time to speak with Howlingstar about what she heard. She turn back toward Howlingstar. "They are both sound asleep." She purred softly. She sat down next to him and took a few bites of the squirrel.
"Can I ask you something that has been bothering me... Now, I know you probably didn't tell me because I was pregnant but I'm not anymore and deserve an answer..." She paused, looking up at Howlingstar. Her face was filled with worry. "Are you planning a battle with ShadowClan? I heard a few of the warriors talking about it yesterday. The gathering is in a couple of days and I don't think ShadowClan is going to respond well to it if they don't already suspect something is wrong. What if they retaliate and attack the camp? Pinekit and Foxkit would be targeted and I'm not back to my full strength yet. I won't be able to protect them if this goes south for you."

"I hear the wind callin' my name. The sound that leads me home again. "It sparks up the fire, a flame that still burns." To you, I will always return.
"I am doing well for giving birth a few days ago. I needed to stretch my legs for a awhile. I was getting really cramped." Howlingstar continued to affectionately love on Pumpkinflower after she answered his questions and followed him from his den, nuzzling her neck with his muzzle and twining his tail with hers. As a tom, he would never truly know what it was like to go through the physical struggle a she-cat experienced when having and raising kits in the nursery, but the least he could do was fiercely love and protect his precious family with all that he had.
"I'm glad to hear it." He purred, happy to know his mate was feeling well. Howlingstar lead the way down the steep pile of stone rubble that lead up to the Highledge, pressing his strong body next to hers for support as well as out of affection. Together they padded straight for the nursery. After Pumpkinflower, Howlingstar poked his own large head into the nursery to see his kits, only a couple sunrises old, sleeping soundly. Howlingstar felt like his heart would swell up and burst out of his chest with love for Foxkit and Pinekit, two small dark fluffy shapes outlined in the soft downy nest of only the most comfortable feathers and moss in the forest.
"They are both sound asleep." He heard Pumpkinflower explain, sitting down next to him and beginning to nibble on her squirrel. The nursery flowed with the warm smell of milk and kithood, a nostalgic scent for any cat who had ever lived and had a mother at his or her side in the first couple moons of life. After his moment of admiration for the two beautiful kits within the nursery, Howlingstar pulled his head back and and turned his attention back to Pumpkinflower. "Can I ask you something that has been bothering me... Now, I know you probably didn't tell me because I was pregnant but I'm not anymore and deserve an answer..." She was now meowing to him. Howlingstar nodded in understanding as he waited for her to ask what was on her mind. "Are you planning a battle with ShadowClan? I heard a few of the warriors talking about it yesterday. The gathering is in a couple of days and I don't think ShadowClan is going to respond well to it if they don't already suspect something is wrong. What if they retaliate and attack the camp? Pinekit and Foxkit would be targeted and I'm not back to my full strength yet. I won't be able to protect them if this goes south for you."
Howlingstar realized that the gossip about his intentions on winning back their territory must have spread as easily as wildfire, even though he hadn't made any official announcements yet, not even to his own deputy. It must have started from when he admitted to Lionclaw and Longtail that he did want to return their territory to Thunderclan. Howlingstar sat down beside Pumpkinflower at the entrance of the nursery and smiled softly as he replied, Yes, I do plan to try and win our territory back from Shadowclan. You must have heard that from either Lionclaw or Longtail?" He let out a soft mrrow of amusement, connecting the dots of gossip. "Don't worry, I would never let a single fox-hearted Shadowclan cat lay a single claw on your or even look at our kits." He promised firmly, a soft growl accenting his words as if he were about to flatten an invisible Shadowclan cat in his mind right then and there for doing just that.
He trusted her more than enough to tell her everything on his mind. "We're going to have the battle before the Gathering, and then Shadowclan should have nothing to worry about at the Gathering except the fact that they lost fair territory skirmish." Howlingstar confidently meowed. He was full of optimism. Emberpaw's warrior ceremony would be soon, and in these past few moons, Thunderclan gained many new and promising warriors, such as the young but fierce fighter Lionclaw, making it a clan stronger than Howlingstar had ever seen before. They had abundant prey and excellent hunters, and all their apprentices were turning out to be talented young cats as well who learned fast.

Pumpkinflower pressed against Howlingstar for support. She hoped he was right about not ShadowClan and the threat they could have on ThunderClan and the risk for the kits. If it did happen, Pumpkinflower would die protecting her kits and those in need if there was no other way. She just hoped that wouldn’t be the case. “I love the fact that you’re so optimistic, but I have to think logically, Howlingstar. You won’t be in camp when the battle happens it just has me so worried because we both know how ShadowClan can be.” She meowed quietly. “I hope they don’t cause a problem at the gathering.” She added.
She started to hear the shifting of little bodies from in the nursery, signally that Pinekit and Foxkit had woken up. “I believe our kits are awake.” She purred. She got to her paws and squeezed into the nursery. She was kinda glad they awoke so it was a welcoming distraction from the battle that will soon be happening. The soft squeals of wanting milk were overpowering. Pumpkinflower shifted them around in the nest to move them out of the way in order for her to lie down. She curled her body around them as they both wiggled up to her stomach to nurse. She looked up at Howlingstar and smiled.

"I hear the wind callin' my name. The sound that leads me home again. "It sparks up the fire, a flame that still burns." To you, I will always return.
Howlingstar nodded, understanding Pumpkinflower's concern. Yes, every cat knew of Shadowclan's fox-hearted reputation, and even they typically weren't shy about showing it proudly. "You're right, we can't trust Shadowclan completely to uphold their honor. There will be strong warriors staying here to protect the camp." He promised, rubbing his nose against Pumpkinflower's cheek before affectionately licking her ear. "And if they try anything at the Gathering, they'll have Starclan's wrath to deal with." He added with a snort of amusement. Even Shadowclan ought to know better than to provoke the anger of their powerful warrior ancestors.
His attention snapped back to the nursery when he picked up the soft noises of movement in the nest within. "I believe our kits are awake." Pumpkinflower purred, and Howlingstar's expression warmed up all over with a fatherly smile as he gazed upon the kits. He poked his head inside the nursery entrance again after Pumpkinflower passed through. If he were to crawl inside the nursery, he'd probably give every other queen and kit claustrophobia. Howlingstar lied down on his stomach with his head raised so that he wouldn't look too large and intimidating to the kits. Howlingstar purred as he watched them nurse, his amber eyes glowing with pride.
