The warrior den.

She darted in, noticing that the deputy had fled aswell. She smirked, padding out.

She darted in. "Robyn, I need to tell you something." She bit her lip. "I'm expecting kits." She said, waiting to hear his reply.

Robynclaw looked up in surprise. "B...but.....but how?" he meowed, half angrily.

She mewed. "You remember that one night, we.." She purred loudly. "There yours, is what I am trying to say." She nuzzled him affectionatley.

Robynclaw smiled as he to remembered that night, and licked Birdstar's ear. "But, if your Leader, how will you be able to take care of them, and perform your duties as Leader?"

She brushed up against him. "When I am on my short leave, SandStorm will be in charge of the clan." She curled her tail around her belly, her belly was slightly swollen, as the kits were still forming inside of her.

Pads in gingerly. He smiles at his leader and dipped his head. He curls up in his nest and watches the she-cat.

SandStorm smiled at RobynClaw and BirdStar. She thought, 'I can't wait for the day I have a loving mate and kits on the way.' She purred, thinking about it.

"Sand!" The tom beamed, padding in. "I've been meaning to tell you something." He gulped, blushing. "I love you." He mewed. "But, I understand if you don't love me back." The tom sighed lightly. He thought. "What was I thinking, she's way to beautiful for me, way to..perfect in every way." He hid his face with his tail. The dawn light shone through the den, giving it a warm, peaceful feeling.

She laughed, nudging his tail away from his face. "I love you to, CrowFeather."

He mewed. "SandStorm, your beautiful in appearance and personality, would you make me the happiest tom in the forest, and, be my mate?" Hope shined in his warm cobalt blue eyes.

SandStorm purred, "Yes, of course."

She padded in, smling warmly towards SandStorm and Crowfeather. She then padded up to RobynClaw. "Robyn, You weren't there for the birth of my kits, your never there for me, ever, I want a mate that cares about me." She whimpered, tears coming to her eyes. "I'm ending us." Tears streamed down her cheeks and she raced off.

SandStorm frowned, watching BirdStar seem so hurt. She thought, 'Will this happen to me and Crow..?' She looked down at her paws, trying to think. She stood up, padding out towards the valley.
