Sandfoot-
He gave her a perplexed look and quickly removed his paw, "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" he asked frantically. Trying to inspect her like how medicine cat or shaman would.

"No! No.." She batted him off her as he inspected around her. She flicked her tail on his ear to assure him that she was alright. "I'm fine." She then breathed in slowly and cast him a serious look. "But I have something I've been waiting to tell you."

Sandfoot-
He was confused why she waved him off. Am I hovering again? he thought. His eyes expressed nothing but worry and his fur was beginning to get ruffled up again. "Well what is it?" he asked frantically

"Well...earlier today.." She started then noticed his worried expression. "Ok, I'll just say it! I'm having kits, Sandfoot! Our kits!" She meowed proudly, curling up her tail.

Sandfoot-
His mouth hung open in shock, "K-kits? O-our kits? I'm going to be a f-father?" He sat down in shock. A smile slowly crept across his face, "Do you think they'll like me? Will they like OceanClan? What should we name them? How many are you expecting?" The question flew out of his mouth but he had many more in his head. The ocean was now almost completely calm, which rarely happens, and is said to be good luck. This can't be coincidental, the gods are pleased with me and my Kaiyou! thought Sandfoot. He wanted to leap into the air let the whole world know about his future Inas and Bintis

Maplefrost purred in amusement at his reaction, "They'll like you just fine! And they'll love OceanClan, too." She purred, leaning up against his side, twining her tail across his. "We can name them when we see them...and of course I don't know how many! Not yet anyways."

(sorry, mouse was acting up again)
Sandfoot-
"I hope so. But how many would you want to have?" He was curious, and new at this dad thing.

Maplefrost tilted her head thoughtfully. "Not too many...maybe four? How many kits were you hoping for?" She teased.
(Don't worry about it!)

Sandfoot-
"I'm an amateur at this...maybe one or two. At most." He stared down at his paws and began to draw lines in the sand. It the little grains of sand were soothing as they found their way in-between his toes. The sun shining on the caps of waves blinded him so he looked back at the camp. He never noticed it before but the mewling of kits from the nursery felt louder than it had any other day. Sandfoot could now hear more clearly than ever the sound of Reny calming their kits and whispering the stories of old to them. Sandfoot hoped to have a son, or he could be shunned by the Clan. It was OceanClan law for the Raja to have a son to be his heir in the first litter. If they were all Bintis, the Clan can take away his rights of leadership and hand them over to the Warrior General of Shaman. He wanted to make sure his Clan's leader knew both skills, in which he did. Maplefrost might want a whole litter of Binits if it was up to her but he wanted a son.

"Playing it safe,huh?" The tabby remarked, nudging his shoulder. "Don't worry, you'll be a great father, Sandfoot. These kits will be one of the best things that ever happened to us." She promised.

Sandfoot-
"That's comforting but...do you think we'll have a son?" Sandfoot can't lose his position. His family would be most protected in that way.
(I have to get off for a little while and do some chores. I'll let you know when I get back on)

(That's fine, thanks for letting me know. I'll hear from you later!  ) Maplefrost sighed. She knew how determined her mate was to keep his position as the clan's Raja. "We don't know for sure." She murmured. "But the gods will look out for us and send us a heir." She meowed confidently, looking back out at the calm sea. |

(okay, i'm back. My dog nearly dragged me through our drive way when I tried to walk him  ) Sandfoot- He stared back at the ocean with her. "Have you had any news from any of the new Reny about their first litters?" |

The she-cat nodded, thinking back to yesterday while she had been given advice by an experienced Reny. "It's usually hard for them." She admitted quietly. "They always need to be watched over." She left out the words incase anything goes. He mate was already worried enough about her. "But as long as they stay healthy and don't do anything to endanger themselves and the kits, they're fine."
(Haha! Aww, well, you know dogs.)

Sandfoot-
"When I pinned you down, did I do something to hurt them?! No! It's all my fault, I wish I could fix it!" He was being hysterical almost. He wanted to go to the Shaman and see if they can have the gods forgive him.

"It's alright!" She snapped, then lowered her ears slightly, calming down. "If it makes you feel better, we can go talk to the Shaman as soon as we get back to camp." She suggested, hoping to ease Sandfoot's worry.

Sandfoot-
"No, no. You're right, you're right. I need to stop hovering. I...I'll just head back up to our den now." His tail drooped slightly but fought hard to not let it show. Stop messing things up! She is a grown cat, she can take care of herself. he thought, A grown cat pregnant with my kits...just keep walking Sandfoot, just keep walking. He hurried up to his den and straightened it up some more by sweeping out the sand with his paw and arranging the sacred shells and bird feather to a more suitable position. Sandfoot straightened up the bedding and got a water soaked moss ball for his mate when she came back.
Fernshadow-
Fernshadow just got back from her hunting patrol laden with New-Leaf pray. As she was heading down to the beach to drop off the fresh-kill on the fresh-kill pile she saw her Kaiyou sitting by the ocean. She dipped her head low to the ground, "Greeting Kaiyou. What brought you down to the beach?"

"I wanted some time to think." Maplefrost responded, turning around and locking eyes with the young warrior. "I'll be heading back in a while, don't worry, Fernshadow." She watched the sun slowly sink begin to set out of the corner of her eye . "Would you like to keep me company?" She asked

Fernshadow-
She blinked slowly at her Kaiyou, "Yes, of course." She hurriedly sat down beside her queen. "If you don't mind me asking, what were you thinking about?" Fernshadow was honored to sit by the Kaiyou. A Kaiyou is chosen with the help of the gods for the Raja, and Fernshadow was honored to be by the one chosen by the gods.

Maplefrost closed her eyes and curled her feathery tail neatly over her paws. "I have told Raja that I am expecting the newest Ina's and Binti's." She meowed.

Fernshadow-
"That is wonderful news! You must announce it to the Clan!" She was feeling excited now. Inas and Bintis gave strength to the Clan as they are dependents of the Raja and Kaiyou, both picked by the gods.

"I will. At the next meeting, I'll announce it to the others." Maplefrost purred, warmed by her enthusiasm.

Fernshadow-
"When will that be?" She could hardly contain herself. She felt like a little kit again before straightening up. "Well, yes uh when will that be?" She cleared her throat You can't act like that if you're trying to be warrior general! Don't act like you're head is stuffed with sand! Fernshadow scolded herself

Maplefrost gazed at the warrior with a thoughtful expression, "Perhaps at moonhigh." She said quietly, almost to herself. "It's good to know you're excited." She added a bit louder, smiling at Fernshadow.
