Crowleaf finally managed to catch somewhat of hus breath only for his head to whip up at the young voices. It was Snowblossom’s kits. Since Sagegaze had gotten pregnant he’s been spending a lot of time in TaigaClan as well as spending time with his newly acquired nieces and nephew. The black tomcat enjoyed playing with the kits when Adderheart was busy. It gave him practice for his own. Unbeknowing to him he would only get to see his kits up until the two moon mark.
He smiles at them amused by how excited they were to see him. “Hey there!” he greets the three liveliest only to avert his blue gaze down more to Rainkit. “Hi.” he mimics her soft response still with a smile on his face only for it to fall at hearing the silver tabby’s somewhat heavy pawsteps because of the weight she put on from carrying their kits.
His blue eye that could see well locked onto pale green eyes as the non seeing eye seemed to just se through her even though it wasn’t at all on purpose. “I’m okay. Honestly. It was just a dog.” he states almost afraid to answer her . “It was near Zephyrclan and Taigaclan border...” he pauses and seems to go into some frightened trance. “It... It was all up in my face. I thought it was going to kill me...” he shakes his head and looks back at Sagegaze and a reassuring smile forms on his face. “But you don’t need to worry. It fell over that cliff drop past the beaten up thunderpath that the monsters go down.”
( aww Rainkit is the cutest!!! && i forgot if Snow had more daughters then sons or vice versa whoops. && lol same i read words differently some times as well )

(Isn't she!! And Snow has an equal amount two boys and boy girls, Moth and Mouse are the boys and Rain and Doe are the girls ) (Yeah he will be shortly ) (NOOOOOO (but yes) SO SAD!! (but also sweet) So very sad!!) Rainkit kind of just stared at the tom for what felt like forever for her, really it was only a few heatbeats. Then the young kit smiled softly as the tom greeted her and quickly scampered after her mother embarrassed. "OOOO you are all fluffed up Rainkit!" Doekit teased her sister as she grinned. "Shut it!" Rainkit snapped glancing back at Crowlead before being escorted away finally. "Just a dog?!" Sagegaze said will shock, just a dog? He was almost killed by a dog not too long ago. She pressed against him and buried her face into his fur, "I can't loose you anytime soon." She said breathing in his scent, "Good thing you were able to loose it, I'll inform Oakstar of the dog, that makes two attacks near here in two seasons." The medicine cat said flicking her tail a bit, "I'm glad you are okay, nothing seems to be hurt, just tired I'm sure." Pale green eyes scanned over the tom once more before she relaxed, you could see the tension of her body just melt away. "I can't loose you, not ever. Promise me you won't let that happen not for many many moons and only when we are both old and our fur goes white."

The black tomcat still didn’t understand why dogs seem to be around him. Was this Starclan’s way of punishing him for falling for a medicine cat, let alone she was from another clan. If it was, it seemed fair to Crowleaf. After all, bad things were a constant presence in his life.
Crowleaf lowers his head a bit, he was tired. What he needed was a good ten moons nap. But right now, taking a nap beside Sagegaze sounded a lot better than by himself. Only for his body to tense at her words. He couldn’t promise her that. He was a warrior. He knew his line of work came at a cost. Amd so did she. So how could she make him promise something like that knowing inevitably he would die. “... Sagegaze... You know I can’t promise something like that...” he murmurs as he sighs heavily. He leans down licking to top of her head. “Look... if it’s my time, it’s my time. I’m not going to fight it. Though I’m not going to lie and say I wouldn’t try and find my way back to you...” he states only to walk past her towards the nursery. “Now I’m really tired so I’m going to take a nap. Feel free to join me.”
( blegh reply and oof I knew i felt like I was forgetting a kit lol I forgot about mothkit. and yesss. but ya know happy they get to be reunited but sad that one of them is living. I honestly can’t wait for Sage and Crow to be parents. Gonna be parent goals yass )

(AWWWW LOOK AT THE BABIES <3 I love them already lol ) (I also love the idea of Nettle having Heterochromia He is the true combo of the two parents) (They will be the best parents <3 <3 <3 1000000/10 parents and actually it will be super sweet to see them visiting in her dreams. Like not even death can part them T___T) Sagegaze nodded, she had known the answer; honestly she was hoping he'd lie to her a little but at least he said he would fight to live. "I'll make sure to fight it for you." She winked and smiled, "Its my job to fight it." The medicine cat watched as he moved away from her and toward the nursery. Perking up the pushes herself up to her feet with a bit of struggle and she made her way to walk beside him. Her fur brushed against his softly and she purred happily. It wasn't long before the two were in the nursery and she was curled up in the nest, well as curled up as she could get with how round she'd grown. (TIME FOR THE SURPRISE!!) The she-cat drifted off, she was actually pretty tired considering all she'd done today and the day before. Crowleaf was right to worry she was pushing herself a bit too hard. Maybe it was time to stop doing that. After about an hour or so the she-cat woke to a sharp pain in her stomach. Sitting up a bit she gasped in pain, were the kits coming? No, it was too soon. They were suppose to come for another moon, this wasn't good. To give birth this early could mean death for the kits. "Crowleaf get Emberpaw." She said starting to pant. (Its just contractions getting ready for the kits > :3 panic!!)

( Yas. I've always loved that on animals. It makes them even extra pretty. )
( Crow just loves Sage so much even in death he hates being apart from her. )
--------
Crowleaf had been sprawled out on his side behind a curled up - well as curled up as she could be - Sagegaze. Light snores fell from his mouth. He really didn't realize how tired he was until his body layed down on the moss bed, he went out like a light. He had been asleep for a good couple of hours or so before his ears twitched at the voice of the silver tabby. Lifting his head, still a little groggy. "Hm... what?" he states half asleep only for him to full awake at the position the silver tabby was in. He immediately scrambles up to his paws and dashes put of the nursery to go look fot Embetpaw. Of course the first place he looks is the medicine den. Luckily the handsome medicine cat apprentice had returned from whatever it was he had been doing. "Emberpaw!" he states as he skids to a stop outside of the entrance to the medicine den. "Sagegaze... the kits..." he was completely frantic. Of course what father to be wouldn't in this situation, his kits were coming a moon early. It wasn't safe.

(My puppy has that she is the prettiest thing, she is a red husky, with a curly tail, ears that wont stand up fully and one blue eye and one golden one <3)
(My heart <3 <3 honestly Sage wouldn't be able to go on if he didn't visit her, like she'd live for her kits of course but like nothing would be the same)
Emberpaw was putting away the herbs he had just gathered and he whipped out of the herb storage his eyes wide. "The kits?" The young multi-colored tom looked shocked, it was too early. Instantly he was back in the storage grabbing the herbs he would need to this.
Sagegaze panted feeling an intense pain in her stomach, what was taking them so long? It felt like Crowleaf had been gone way to long. Then again she was in pain and panicking a bit. Now she understood first paw why queens were always so panicked, it felt like everything was taking so much longer.
Emberpaw moved right past Crowleaf and out of the medicine cat den and right to the nursery where Sagegaze and Snowblossom the other queen was. "Alright Sagegaze you know what we tell queens so you know how to do this." He said his voice calm but firm. He'd learned well from his mentor and now it was his turn to help her. But for a moment he thought, it might be his chance to get her back, what if the kits didn't make it? It was early and anything that happened wouldn't be that big of a shock. Almost shaking his head he scolded himself internally, 'your a medicine cat, they are kits and you promised to help them no matter what. And even though they are unborn they are still living. '

( <3 Romeo and Juliet kinda love )
( dAaaaaaaaang Ember. You cold hearted. lol now is not the time to get even witn Sage )
————
As Emberpaw passes Crowleaf, the black tom coudln’t seem to follow him. He was so shocked that his kits were coming that he just froze. But he knew Sage would probably need him to be near and he wanted to be so he could immediately see his kits IF they survived that is. The handsome tom cat shakes himself out of his trance and mmes a beeline for the nursery only to stop a few inches from the entrance. He figured to not let himself be seen so Sagegaze can concentrate.

The silver she-cat panted as the pain continued, no wonder queens got so much time off and were told to take it easy. It is one thing to have helped a she-cat kit, it was another to actually feel their pain.
Emberpaw rubbed his cheek against Sagegaze's "You'll be okay." The young cat said softly, he'd learned from her well and the silver medicine cat couldn't help but smile as much as she could at how he was handling things. The mutil-colored tom had gathered the herbs he would need and pushed the ones she could eat toward her.
"Where is Crowleaf?" She asked before another wave of pain rushed through the she-cat and she flexed her claws into the moss near her.
"He is outside." Emberpaw said firmly, "You know better than any queen that it is better if he isn't in here. Too many cats means less room for me to do my job." He said earning a small grunt of annoyance from Sagegaze. She said nothing because she knew the young cat was right.
About an hour of time passed and nothing had happened yet, in face the pain had started to die down. Odd? She wasn't going into labor? Was this just a little sneak peak of what was to come? Great Starclan if she wasn't nervous before now she was.
"Sagegaze I don't think the kits are coming right now..." Emberpaw said feeling the she-cats belly. "You scared everyone!" The male medicine cat snapped as he visibly relaxed. "Thank Starclan these kits aren't coming a whole moon early." He sat down and took a deep breath, "You have to stay in here now, there will be no more helping out with the herbs."
"But I wa-" She began but Emberpaw shot a look her way.
"No, I can handle it on my own. You are pushing yourself too hard, you will put your kits lives at risk." Sagegaze just shut her mouth and watched her apprentice leave.

( well poison would kill Crow with little pain but i guess if Ember wants Crow to suffer a painful death, physical would be good )
Crowleaf had been pacing a little while he waited. He was worried but his worry slightly lessened when Emberpaw emerged from the nursery. He opens his mouth to ask how she was but thought better of it. The apprentice didn’t look to happy. The black tom cat pokes his head inside the nursery easily sensing no kits. He exhales through his nose before entering the den. “You know, I told you so.” he starts as he nears the round silver tabby only for him to make his way around her and lays down. He rubs his cheek against hers with a purr. “I’m just glad you and our kits are okay.”

( <3 i do love like dogs from breeders but sometimes you can find great dogs from shelters. and even sometimes they are cuter than bred dogs :3 )
Crowleaf chuckles at her knowing he was right all along about her needing to rest. Their kits were probably just somehow telling their mother to take it easy. Luckily for the silver tabby the kits weren’t actually arriving. The black tom cat purrs lightly as the silver tabby nuzzles into his fur. “At least Emberpaw is here to help you when the time does come.” he comments as he rests his chin on her shoulder letting his tail drape over the silver tabby’s stomach.

(Let’s do it right after the kits which can be after the skipped moon) (Shelter dogs have such different personalities I’ve noticed like breds have distinctive traits when they are pure bred but like sheltered dogs or mixed are different they have like weird things lol)
Sagegaze purred loudly cuddling into the tom’s fur. It had been a long day for the she-cat and the black tom. She could feel herself getting very tired. With a yawn she looked at Crowleaf, “Yes he is a very good medicine cat. He is ready for his name.” She purred happily, “I think it is time for us to get some sleep.” The medicine cat licked his cheek and buried her face in his fur again. It took only a few moments for a light snore to come from the Queen.
*skip one moon*
“Let all cat old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath High Rock.” Oakstar’s voice rang through the clearing and the clan gathered below. It was time to name new apprentices. Four little brown, white, and grey apprentices to be exact. Snowblossom padded out followed by her four kits who were groomed to perfection and beaming.
“Crowleaf tell me what’s going on and Oakstar is naming for their mentors!” Sagegaze was laying down in the nursery but had propped herself up enough to peek out of the mossy den as best she could. She wouldn’t be able to go out since she could kit any day now. She struggled to see more than just one or two of the warriors seated closest to the nursery.
“Mothkit, Doekit,Rainkit, Mousekit you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Mothpaw, Doepaw,Rainpaw and Mousepaw Your mentor will be Shadowstep for Doepaw, Ivywhisper for Mothkit, Willowfall for Rainpaw and for Mousepaw Bearblossom . I hope they will pass down all he/she knows on to you four.” The now growing old leader spoke clearly and loudly.
The ceremony continued and each kit reacted differently as they touched noses with leader and mentor respectively. Mousepaw marched head high almost tripping over his own feet. Doepaw moves carefully and calculated making sure she didn’t embarrass herself. Rainpaw very timidly and quickly touched each of them and then moved aside. Mothpaw glances at his siblings before trying to look as big as Mousepaw and shivering with excitement as he did.

Crowleaf was seated outside the nursery, he had found a spot where he could see through a gap of felines to see the four kits. He chuckles at hearing Sagegaze. “Alright alright. They’re being apprenticed right now.” he meows amused. He sits up a little straighter having to strain his ears a bit to hear the mentors names being called out. “Doepaw’s mentor is Shadowstep, Mothkit’s is Ivywhisper–“ he whispers to the silver tabby as to not disturb the ceremony. “Rainpaw’s is Willowfall and of course Mousepaw’s is Bearblossom.” he finishes only to look over at Sagegaze. He really couldn’t believe his kits would be here possibly any day now. It thrilled him and terrified him all at once. But he knew Sagegaze and he could do it. Sure they were somewhat young to be having kittens but he didn’t seem to mind.

Crowleaf had already got up and was making his way back into the nursery as Sagegaze spoke. He honestly couldn’t believe this moon. His nieces and nephews had gotten apprenticed and he would soon be a father. It was a great moon. He sits down a little bit in front of the silver tabby and chuckles. “It seems so unreal.”

Sagegaze purred, "Yes I does seem super unreal we are parents, and they will be here any day." She shifted so she could see him clearly and she smiled at him . "I'm a bit nervous to be honest." The young queen whispered, it wasn't often that she was nervous. Worried, maybe, over worked and stressed of course; but nervous, this was new.
Emberpaw walked into the nursery doing his daily rounds, he was already doing such a good job of handling everything on his own. "Morning Sagegaze." He paused looking at Crowleaf, "Morning Crowleaf." He said, not changing his tone from how he had spoke to Sagegaze but his gaze was a bit different. Then his attention returned to the she-cat and he walked over to her and place herbs in front of her and nudged them toward her. "Here take these, make sure to get me as soon as you feel anything happening again." He looked at Crowleaf dipped his head and left.
"I don't know what is going to happen once these kits come.. Oakstar hasn't said anything to me about banishment or what will happen with the kits. I wonder if they will be allowed to be apart of the clan.." She said softly, worry setting in the she-cats eyes.

Crowleaf’s ears twitch at Sagegaze saying she was nervous. The only time he has ever seen her be nervous was when she told him they would be parents. But this nervousness was different somehow he just couldn’t pin point the exact reason. Was is the thought of bringing life into the world? Not making it? He didn’t know. “Hm...” he murmurs in thought only for his brain process to be interrupted by the young medicine cat entering the nursery.
Ice blue and pale ice blue eyes focus on the ginger tom a hesitant smile appears on the older tom’s face as he was greeted. He felt a weird presence in the air from the ginger tabby. Directly at him if he was being honest. His head tilts a smidge towards the ginger tom after he leaves. How odd. Only did his focus go back to the silver tabby once she spoke again.
He looks towards her edging himself closer to her. “... Sunshine, I’m sure Oakstar wouldn’t even think of kicking out a couple of mixed clan kits.” he comments trying to be reasonable but even he was now worried at the thought.
(ooooh emberpaw you shady)
