"As amazing as that sounds, now isn't the time for us to be sleeping in." Shortcloud conceded and stretched her legs before stepping out of the den. She fluffed her fur at the chill that went down her body from the cold. "ShadowClan needs us. Let's hope for something resembling normalcy today..."

Houndthroat's brow knitted. He gave Lilywhisper a side-long look of confusion at her stammering. Was she speechless? StarClan, he probably couldn't find any frogs because they grew wings and flew away. With a breath of annoyance, he started forward to continue his search for prey. He didn't say anything so she could figure out how to get her words out.

Cloudscar nodded to Closesky as they approached the burial ground. Slowly he lowered Stormfury onto the ground and began to dig, finding comfort in the repetitive motion that tore at his paws. Slowly a hole formed, and Cloudscar nudged Stormfury into it, draping his tail over the warrior’s paws. Before he could talk himself out of it, Cloudscar pushed a pile of earth over Stormfury, then another and another. AS he pushed the final pawfull into place he realized how tired he was. Not just due to the last day’s events but a soreness in his muscles that could only be known with age. He let out a soft sigh, looking at his son, and his grave, for the last time.
((I’m going to have to poof soon, but if you want to put any of my cats on patrols I can grab ‘em tomorrow.))

Here are some starters for anyone :3)
Skullkit sat just outside the nursery, glancing back into the den every now and then. He was worried about Hailkit and had wanted to talk to him when he had returned from the vigil with his mother and littermates. Skullkit sighed, wishing he could comfort his friend in some kind of way, but he was horrible at that sort of thing.
Vixenflame padded towards Cardinalblaze, giving her former mentor a small smile as she watched him send out the patrols. She sat down as she waited to be assigned to a patrol as well, wondering if Coalhaze had gone out already or not.
Ravenflight had set to work helping rebuild the camp wall, wanting to distract himself from the vigil and everything else that had happened.
Poppyflame shifted in her new nest in the nursery, having just moved into the den now that it had been almost completely rebuilt. She couldn't help but feel a bit restless, almost wishing that she could go out on a patrol with Thistlestalk as well.

(Hey Fire, I typed up a small ceremony in one of my stories on the Story Page that the elders say when they bury a cat, do you want me to have Closesky say the words? Or I can post them so Cloudscar can say something like them?)
Closesky helped dig the hole, but his movements were slower than usual. He waited for Cloudscar before helping to bury Stormfury.

Songbreeze scooted her nest over to make room for Poppyflame. "It's getting pretty crowded in here, huh?"

Snowdance blinked as she took a step closer to Kinkfire to examine the warrior, her eyes quickly taking in her rounded belly and catching a very faint and familiar scent. "I do have herbs to help an upset stomach, but I don't think that's what you have." She mewed knowingly, raising a paw to gently feel around Kinkfire's belly. After a moment, Snowdance sat back with a nod, her suspicions confirmed. "Yes, as I thought. Not an upset stomach or bad prey. You're expecting kits, Kinkfire. I believe that you're about a moon along now." She reported, sitting down and wrapping her tail around her paws.
Stormcloud blinked in light surprise, although he himself had started to suspect that this was the case. He looked at Kinkfire, knowing how she had never really shown much interest in having kits of her own one day. "Kits..." Stormcloud breathed.

She couldn't help but feel a bit restless, almost wishing that she could go out on a patrol with Thistlestalk as well. As Vipertooth was gazing around, she noticed Ravenflight working on the camp wall. She decided that would be good enough to keep her occupied. It wasn't as exciting as hunting, but it would work. She padded over to join him, her ears perked. "Hey, Ravenflight. Want some help?" she asked, tilting her head to one side. |

Poppyflame looked up as Songbreeze made some room for her, giving the other queen a grateful smile, "I really could have waited a while longer before I moved in here, but Thistlestalk seems to have gotten a little worried about me catching a cold if I stayed in the warrior's den." She mewed, feeling a bit bad to be taking up what little space was left from the other queens when her own kits wouldn't be here for another moon or so.

He looked at Kinkfire, knowing how she had never really shown much interest in having kits of her own one day. "Kits..." Stormcloud breathed. Kinkfire partly shuffled away from Snowdance when the medicine cat lifted her paw to touch her. She'd always been uncomfortable with touch except for Stormcloud. When Snowdance said she was expecting, Kinkfire deadpanned at her. "No." |

He mewed, scooting over a bit to make room for her, "I wouldn't mind the extra paws. Do you think you could hold this bit up so that I can finish getting these brambles weaved in?" He asked. |

Songbreeze shook her head for Poppyflame to not fret. "It's alright. There will be room after Pearlkit, Cranekit, and Hawkkit become apprentices. It is nice for Thistlestalk to fret, though." She smiled softly thinking of her own Lionscorch. He visited her and the kits every day. "Are you excited?" She asked softly. "To have your own kits?" |

Vipertooth nodded, shifting in beside him and lifted her unhurt paw to hold the wall up to help. She was silent for a few moments, unsure of what to say. She was debating bringing up Stormfury, but the idea of having that conversation wasn't appealing, so she changed course. "Strange they came looking for Cliffheart, huh?" she asked. After she said it, she internally growled at herself. What a weird way to phrase that. |

"Yes. Kits." Snowdance said, a light twitch of her ear being the only indication of surprise to Kinkfire's reaction to the news. She had seen many reactions to the news of kits from expecting queens, but this had certainly been a first. "It's faint, but you do have the scent of milk on you and it'll get stronger the closer you get to kitting."
Stormcloud gave a worried flick of his ear at Kinkfire's response, "This would explain why you had a hard time eating certain prey." He suggested gently.
Poppyflame rested her tail over her stomach, which seemed to be growing almost every day now with her unborn kits, "Yes, I am. Thistlestalk is absolutely ecstatic as well, he'll make a wonderful father to them." She said with small smile. Poppyflame shifted in her nest again, still feeling a bit uncomfortable, "Although, this is a bit of a strange feeling. I thought that I would have gotten used to feeling them move around in there by now."

After she said it, she internally growled at herself. What a weird way to phrase that. Ravenflight gave a small nod as he continued to weave in the brambles, "I suppose it makes sense though. Cliffheart is Lavendersky's brother after all." He mewed as he worked, trying to make them as tight as he could. "Lavendersky has been SkyClan's medicine cat for a long time now, it's hard to believe that she'll be joining StarClan soon. But I guess it was only a matter of time." Ravenflight added with a small sigh. |

I remember when I lost my littermates," she said, shifting a little to make sure she wasn't in his way at all. At least her littermates were in the same clan as her. She didn't have to travel across two territories to say her farewells. "Cliffheart isn't in great condition himself. I wonder how the journey went for him." |

(one last quickish reply)
Kinkfire slowly stood. Her heart was thundering. "No," she stated again. She couldn't look at Snowdance or Stormcloud. "No. No. I can't be expecting kits. You're wrong." Yet, even as she said it, she knew Snowdance was never wrong about this. Kinkfire closed her eyes and took a step back. Her head was spinning. This would ruin everything. The thought quickened her breath with panic. She worked so hard. She trained her heart out to stay matched with her naturally stronger brothers. To make her father proud of her as a warrior. Kits would ruin all of it. "I don't want them." She snapped open her eyes, but they were wide with her internal panic. "I don't want them."
