Duskpetal was stretched out beside her mate, sleeping contently she cuddled close to his side as a soft sigh slipped from her lips. The newly named deputy had adapted well to her new position, though it was strange to be ordering her clanmates around, she had so far taken it in her strive. Her eyes blinked open and she lifted her head with a yawn, "Good morning," she said quietly when she spotted her mate was awake. She couldn't put her claw on it, but something had been different between them since she'd been named deputy, and she was worried it would change things between them. Duskpetal knew her mate to be a proud tom, and she'd always loved him in spite of it but now she found herself concerned about their future, if he continued to be as distant as he was.

Aspenfur yawned, emerging from the warriors den. She let out a low moan as she stretched his stiff joints and limbs. The crisp morning air chilled her fur and paws, she shook his pelt letting the early light warm her pelt. She padded across the clan camp, giving her chest fur a few licks as she did so. She glanced at the fresh kill pile, she signed wasn't quiet fell but she knew patrols later on would restock it. She leaned down and took a mouse, settling down in a corner to eat it.
Creekpaw sat in camp, waiting for her mentor to appear from the warriors den and take her out, she flicked her tail feeling a little impatient since the pervious night she didn't really sleep and woke up earlier than usual. Creekpaw glanced around, blinking in the pale light that filtered through her sheltered spot, she noticed other cats waking up and leaving their dens. She curled her tail around her paws, patiently, the tip flicking.
Beetlepaw shuffled around his nest before glancing over to the apprentice den entrance, the sun wasn't fully up but he knew some cats were. The brown tom licked his paw and drew it across his ears sighing. "There's no harm in waiting. I bet Cavegrowl isn't fully wake either." He muttered figuring if his mentor was wake by now he probably would've came and got him. Beetlepaw stretched out his right leg as he gave it a quick wash.
Adderflame sat on a low hanging branch, facing the sunrise. Adderflame always came up here when he had to gather his thoughts. The weather was just perfect, warm but had a nice, cool breeze that ruffled his fur. Adderflame continued to stare at the sunrise, when he heard a rustling below and a twig snapping. He got his paws deciding since he was out here it wouldn't hurt to hunt before returning back to camp, it would be better to return with something his jaws whether than nothing.

(Awesome!)
Lifting herself to her paws, the newly named deputy lowered her muzzle to lick her mate between the ears before quietly saying, “I’m not feeling so good, I’m going to see if I can find Thrushtalon,” she explained before turning and making her way past the rest of her clanmates. Picking her way carefully between them until she’d slipped from the den and found her way to the medicine cat den. “Thrushtalon?” She called into the darkness, ears perked forward as she tried to catch sight of the familiar tom. “I wondered if you might help me? I’m not feeling so good.”

The large golden tabby had been busy at work since early dawn, sorting herbs and making notes of what needed to be restocked. It had taken quite a bit to tend to the patrol, and several herbs, namely marigold and comfrey, were running low. The tom's ears pricked as he heard a voice at the entrance of his den, and Thrushtalon padded out from the gloom, dipping his head as he recognized the newly named deputy. "Hi Duskpetal, what can I do for you?" The amicable tom meowed.

Wounds still littered the pretty warriors body, and parts of her legs and underbelly were still caked in cobwebs and poultices to be safe, but this was a discomfort to which the warrior was not accustomed. She found herself somewhere to sit on the direction of the medicine cat, and smiled a little awkwardly. Duskpetal twitched her ears in the direction of her wadded stomach and said, “I think I have a stomach ache,” she explained with a sigh.

Thrushtalon nodded and padded closer so he could examine the she-cat. He sniffed at her underbelly carefully, and did not smell sickness or infection from her wounds. He gently pressed his nose to her fur - she wasn't running a fever either. "It doesn't look like you're sick..." He mused, when a very particular scent caught his nostril, from deep within the deputy's belly. "But you are expecting kits. Congratulations." He meowed, straightening with a smile.

Allowing herself to be subject to the medicine cats careful examinations, wrapping her tail around her paws as she waited patiently for a verdict on as to what was wrong with her. She jerked upright at the news, eyes wide with astonishment at what she was told. “I...” she stammered, uncertainty filling her tone of voice, as well as a little fear. “I cant be, what about being deputy?” what is Cavegrowl going to say?

Cavegrowl just simply nodded to his mate not saying a word and watched her exit the warriors den. Deciding that it was time he got up the large dark grey tom let his legs push him up to a standing position and he exited the den. Shaking a few loose pieces of moss from his pelt he walked over to the apprentices den. "Beetlepaw? Ready for training?", he called out as he sat down a couple tail lengths from the entrance and waiting for the young tom to come out. Maybe training his apprentice would help clear his mind and he would stop worrying about his troubles. He then turned his head looking for Brackenfrost (@stormpetal) and Cascadefrost ( ~Skyblaze~) to see if the other warriors and their apprentices wanted to pair up for the day. Once back in camp Timberfall felt like leading the dawn patrol and he looked around for warriors. Seeing Aspenfur the dark brown tom quickly made his way up to the warrior. "Hey would you like to join me on the dawn patrol?", he asked her as he watched her eat a mouse and waited for her to finish. Fallowleaf woke from her slumber and quickly exited the warriors den to see the camp alive with the actions of her fellow clan mates. Yawning and exiting the camp she decided to take a morning stroll through the forest and do a little bit of hunting.

(please don't been mean to poor sweet dusk XD)
Pulling herself from the medicine cat den, visibly shaken from the news she'd received and scared for what his response was going to be. She cast her gaze around in search of the familiar grey tom, and spotted him all too quickly. She picked up her pace, intersecting him just as he and his patrol were on the cusp of leaving. She pushe in front of him so there was nowhere for him to evade her. She looked at him as firmly as she could manage, he'd ignored her almost completely since the day she'd been named deputy. But this wasn't something she could just let lie, she let out a low tone of voice. "I need to talk to you."

(( You'll see he won't hurt her... Too much lol )) Cavegrowl was startled when Duskpetal pushed herself in front of him and demanded to speak with him. Inwardly he sighed, she probably wanted to talk with him about how he had been acting lately and want him to tell her his feelings. "Is it important? Cause I'm about to lead this patrol, can't we talk later?", He asked in his deep rumbling voice not wanting to fight with her right now.

Twitching her long tail tip, she watched him in silence for a moment. Regarding him and trying to find the tom she loved so much, but now he seemed colder than anything she could remember feeling. She took a deep breath, looking to her paws she drew in as much courage as she was able to find. "It's important," her tone was insistent, maybe even desperate.

(I will sorry I haven't posted there. Could you pm me an update about what's happening and I will reply as soon as I finished making dinner ) "Okay", Cavegrowl said in a slightly annoyed tone. Turning he went a couple tail lengths away from the others right next to the camp wall. Looking at Duskpetal with his dark amber eyes he sat down. "Okay. You have my attention", he meowed and I then closed him mouth so she could speak freely.

(not too much, I'm intending or Copperstar to reveal to the medicine cats that she's pregnant, and we're beginning to spark the rebellion properly)
Following in silence, she longed to press herself against him and feel the warmth of his fur and familiarity of his scent close to her. But a part of her, the most terrified part, felt certain that she would never feel it again. She lowered her head, not making eye contact with him but sounding surprisingly confident in her tone of voice. "I'm expecting kits."

Cavegrowl wasn't sure he heard Duskpetal right and slightly narrowed his eyes at her questioningly. "What?!", He asked needing her to repeat herself. He thought he heard her say kits but he couldn't be sure because now there was a loud pounding in his ears and his throat felt stuck like he had swallowed dirt. That couldn't have been what she said, it had been a while since they were last together and if she was pregnant then she must be further along. Yet as the tom thought that there was no signs his eyes moved across her beautiful body and stopped on her belly. It had a small bulge of roundness that he had not noticed untill just now. Instantly his heart skipped and beat and his eyes filled with fear of the unknown and he looked back to Duskpetals eyes.

Meeting his eyes in spite of herself, in her own gaze blazed a fire. Never having been one to turn down a challenge, even if she was scared, even if shed have to do it alone. None of this was her kits fault, and they didnt deserve to suffer for her mate’s foolishness. She tilted her head to the side, looking up at him with a near heart broken sigh. “You’re going to be a father, what are you going to do about it?”

Even thought the dark grey tom was sitting down his front paws instinctively backed up with one staying in the air when Duskpetal forced the information onto him. His mouth parted but no words escaped. He was going to be a father.... he was going to have kits... Okay. Cavegrowls mind was slowly wrapping around the fact the she was going to have his kits. Finally a noise sounded from the warrior. "Uhhhh mmmm", he tried to find something to say but no words formed. Looking into Duskpetals eyes he could see her fire and on top of being scared about being a father, he started to fear the queen. "Are you okay?", he asked finally wanting to make sure that she was okay but more so not quite knowing what to say because he was still processing it.

It was then that her gaze faltered with the truth of her uncertainty, she looked away in order to hide the tears speckling her dark eyes as she took in a slow, deep breath. “I dont know,” it was painful to admit, this came to her as a shock just as it had her mste. “You’ve been ignoring me for days,” she said, quieter now as she spoke the truth she’d been fearing. “Be honest with me Cavegrowl,” she stammered. “Am i to raise these kits alone? Or is the tom i adore still in there somewhere past this mousebrained I’ve been faced with for days?”

Cavegrowl finally set his paw down and looked to the ground when she called him out on his recent behavior. "I'm sorry", he meowed his normally deep voice sounding softer and small. He didn't want to tell her that he was jealous of the fact that she was deputy when he had more experience and ambition than her. Not wanting to speak about that he changed the focus back to the fact that she was expecting. "If they are my kits I will do my share. I will make sure that you and the kits are taken care of", he said firmly and honestly. He had no intentions of just dropping her with a belly full of his kits alone to fend for themselves. Even though he wasn't sure he still wanted to be with her anymore he was a respectable tom and could not do that to anyone, especially her.

Letting out a low growl when he questioned if they were his kits, she cuffed him across the ears whilst flattening her own back to her skull, she wrapped her tail around the slight swell of her stomach. Casting her eyes at her paws and biting back the anger which initially threatened her voice. “I love you,” she said quietly, with a heart broken tone of voice. “But you dont love me anymore, do you?”

Cavegrowl took the blow and his ears stung from where her paws had hit causing him to shake his head and flatten his ears at her. "This is a lot for me to adjust to. Could you please just give me some time to adjust? I want to try and make this work", he meowed in an admitting tone. "I'm sorry I'm not trying to hurt you. I do love you, but... I don't know if I can be with you anymore", he added honestly. "But I want you to know that no matter what I will make sure you and the kits are taken care of and protected", he added quickly. (( I just had an amazing plot idea ))

(i too had one, but mines especially evil... guilt trip cave a helluva lot, she runs off heart broken... gets herself killed by a fox?)
Lowering her head to her chest, she looked down at the swell of her belly with half closed eyes to hold back the stinging tears which threatened to fall from her eyes if she didnt fight them back. “I’m sorry to inconvenience you,” she said quietly, but was gone before he could say anything further. Out from camp as fast as her paws would take her.

(Let her run into the fox, and Cavegrowls patrol can come and save her and it would make him realize that he actually loves her and cares for her. Or you could kill her off your choice. Would you RP Brokenfrost so he can join Cavegrowl on the patrol)
Cavegrowl continued to sit there for a moment and he watched her run off into the woods. Slowly he rose to his paws and returned to where his apprentice and Rushpaw were waiting. "Brokenfrost?!", he called out to his friend just wanting to hurry up and go on patrol so that he could distract himself from the drama with Duskpetal.

The tom, who had been watching at a careful and polite distance, thugh his curiousity had taken the better of him the handsome warrior approached with a twitch of his whiskers. "What in the name of starclan was that all about?" He questioned with a tilt to his head. Watching the new deputy disappear through the camp exit with a surprised look, what one earth could have upset her so much?
