Sighing softly Leafpool glanced down at her paws. She didn't know what to do anymore...
She has made a grave mistake. One that she knows she won't be able to quickly recover from.
Leafpool is a thunderclan medicine cat. A medicine cat cannot take a mate or have kits and it's against the general warrior code to be mates with a cat from another clan.
Now Leafpool has two mates. She knows that it's wrong to cheat on them but she can't help it.
Well, Leafpool didn't exactly cheat. She and Crowfeather we're mates before she was mates with Brambleclaw.
Now Brambleclaw is the thunderclan deputy and Crowfeather is a windclan cat. Leafpool shouldn't have been mates with any of them. Yet at least being mates with Brambleclaw was better then Crowfeather.
Leafpool then was mates with Crowfeather for a bit and they hooked up. Leafpool was foolish enough not to tell him to pull out.
But then Crowfeather broke up with Leafpool because he wanted to be loyal with windclan.
Then Leafpool became secret mates with Brambleclaw after Brambleclaw broke up with her sister, Squrrielflight.
Although Leafpool is now pregnant. She knows that these kits are Crowfeather's since every time she fucked Brambleclaw she made him pull out.
But there's a chance that Brambleclaw doesn't know that. All Leafpool knows is that she's pregnant and she needs Brambleclaw to be the father. Even if he truly isn't the father.
Leafpool doesn't know who could nurse the kits. Leafpool just wants them to be raised my Brambleclaw.
Sighing Leafpool shook away her thoughts and headed into the thunderclan camp. She saw Brambleclaw talking with Ashfur and approached him.
"Can we talk alone outside of the camp?" Leafpool questioned.
Brambleclaw titled his head. "Why? Can't we just talk later?"
Leafpool let out a growl and lashed her tail. "No. We need to talk now and come on before I drag you out of here by the scruff of your neck." She threatened.
"Alright. Alright im coming." Brambleclaw said, rolling his amber eyes.
The two thunderclan cats then padded out of the thunderclan camp and kept walking until they were alone. Brambleclaw then turned to Leafpool.
"So, what's this about?" Brambleclaw asked.
"I'm pregnant." Leafpool replied bluntly.
Brambleclaw's Amber eyes widened. "Are you joking?"
"No for fuck's sake I'm not joking!" Leafpool snapped. "Im serious."
"B-but how did I get you pregnant?" Leafpool asked.
"Because apparently you didn't pull out." Leafpool replied.
"Well, I thought I did." Brambleclaw replied.
"But you didn't. So now we're fucked." Leafpool replied.
"What should we do? Brambleclaw asked.
Leafpool thought for a bit. She really didn't think about what to do with the kits. She just wanted to ask Brambleclaw what to do.
"I don't know." Leafpool admitted. "I just hoped that you would be able to think of something."
"Well, we could always drop the kits off at the two-leg place." Brambleclaw suggested.
As Brambleclaw said that rage swarmed throughout Leafpool and she let out a hiss.
"No kits of mine are going to be thrown to two-leg's!" Leafpool snarled.
"Well I'm so fucking sorry for suggesting something." Brambleclaw grunted.
"Look, do you have any ideas? Do you think you could say you found the kits?" Leafpool asked.
Brambleclaw froze. "Well, I could say that I found the kits and that I'm the true father of them."
"There's a chance that you could get in trouble for that. You could loose your rank as deputy or even worse get exiled." Leafpool pointed out.
"Well then that's worth risking as long as you are allowed to stay in thunderclan. Besides I doubt that Firestar will be cruel enough to exile me." Brambleclaw replied.
Leafpool smiled and leaned forward, touching her nose with the tabby Tom's.
"T-thank you..." Was the only thing she said.
"You know you aren't going to be able to act as a mother to them. Right?" Brambleclaw asked.
Leafpool nodded sadly. "i-I know..."
"When are you giving birth?" Brambleclaw asked.
"In a few days. I'll get you when I do." Leafpool promised.
The two cats then split paths and Leafpool sighed. She wished that things didn't have to be this way.
~~~timeskip~~~
"Push!" Brambleclaw ordered.
As soon as Brambleclaw said that Leafpool sank her teeth into a stick and let out a yowl.
Soon the first sack slid out and Leafpool nipped it and soon a black she-cat with green eyes appeared.
Leafpool did this over and over again until she now has three kits.
The second kit is a grey tabby tom with blind blue eyes and the third kit is a golden tabby tom with blue eyes.
"There so beautiful..." Brambleclaw muttered. "Is the grey one blind?"
Leafpool nodded. "Although that doesn't matter. What do you want to name them?"
"Hmm how about the golden one can be named Lionkit? After all he does look like a lion." Brambleclaw pointed out.
"Hmh alright. The black one can be Hollykit." Leafpool declared. She was so tempted to name Hollykit, Crowkit because of how similar she looked to Crowfeather but she decided that would be to obvious.
"And the grey one can be Jaykit. Since he looks like a jay." Brambleclaw declared.
Leafpool simply nodded and glanced down at her three kits. They were nuzzling at her belly and soon started to drink her milk.
Leafpool felt her heart sank as she stared down at them. When she was younger she always wanted kits.
But Leafpool then chose the path of a medicine cat, making sure she would never have a litter.
But even though she still had one Leafpool would be better off if she didn't. after all this is only going to hurt her more.
"Do you want me to bring them back to the camp?" Brambleclaw suggested.
Leafpool swiftly shook her head. She didn't want her kits to leave her. She knows they soon are. But at least not yet.
"No. Not yet. I want to be a mother to them for a few more moments." She replied.
Brambleclaw nodded and then curled up next to her. Although Leafpool knows that she was supposed to feel warmth she only ended up feeling dread. Her kits would soon be gone.
