I bask in the dying sun beside Leopardsight who was gently grooming my fur. I purr as I see the large number of kits wrestling about. Sunglow, Daisypetal, Birdlight, Silent, Panther, and Mallow we all enjoying the sunlight as well, sharing tongues and watching the little clan of kits.

"Would you like to have kits of your own one day?"Leopardsight murmured into my ear, pausing from rasping his tongue along my now sleek pelt.

I feel my blood turn cold and my pelt grow hot at the same time. I opened my mouth, but not a word seemed to escape from my tongue. Leopardsight chuckles at my reaction.

I finally find the right words and reply,"maybe one day. I'll make sure to take care of them and never leave them."

The faint sting of how my mother never was close to me pierced my heart, how it felt like she abandoned me. 'I will make sure to never leave my kits,' I silently promise.

"You would be a great mother Brokenflight,"he purred,before looking off in the distance,"I even think I would be a gr-great father to your kits.."

I blink in shock. Happiness shoots through my pelt at the thought of Leopardsight being my mate. 'But will he be loyal?'

"Leopardsight.. You're a Shadowclan cat,"I choke out,"How would we take care of the kits of you lived in another clan?"

Leopardsight looks into my eyes. He opens his mouth to speak when a deep mew cut him off,"Brokenflight I must speak with you!"

I whip my head around and unsheathe my claws, which grips the earth to hold me back from ripping the cat, who interrupted to shreds.

"What do you want, Hickory-blaze," I snarl while breaking his name into two bits, my eyes were blazing with fury.

"I-I just wanted to say that I love you, and I want to be close like we used to be. To be mates,"he mews while glancing at his paws.

My golden eyes widen and my jaw drops, gaping at what the brown warrior just confessed.

"Birdlight and I have realized that we aren't meant to be," he continued," the kits no I am not their father either."

"I-I," I stutter and look back Leopardsight who's gaze was stone cold and then back at Hickoryblaze.

'Who do I choose?' I cry out silently.
