(oh sure, sorry and no worries, take care of yourself, and what actually happened to Jaypaw and Crowstar?)
CloverClan Camp// Dawnsky// Starlingflight
Lifting herself onto delicate paws, the queen continued to groom her mate as they spoke. Enjoying her task and the closeness with her mate, it had felt like moons since they’d properly spoken. Especially considering she had been confined to the nursery practically the moment the news had surfaced that she was to have a litter of kits, she flinched at a fresh round of kicking sent the swell of her stomach quivering. She pressed close to the leader, sharing the moment with a chuckle. “Even they’re bored of staying in one place, imagine how their mother is feeling.” Dawnsky’s tone was bright with laughter.
However, it dimmed a little at her mate’s next words. Whilst she was open and bright with her mate, the young queen had never been great around other cats. She preferred a close circle of friends, and was less certain now she was kept to the isolation of the nursery. However, not wishing to cause her mate further worry, especially not in a time like this the queen replied with half a smile. “They’re kind enough.” It wasn’t a lie, at the very least.

c r o w s t a r [ morning | cloverclan | camp ] Nodding, she didn't discuss the matter further. The she-cat closed her eyes, and leaned more against her mate. She didn't lean too much, as she didn't want to hurt her. Crowstar was tired and as the two talked, sleep crept closer and closer to the leader. "I'll send some apprentices out to gather fresh moss for the nursery." Crowstar meowed, her eyes still closed. She loudly sighed, then gave a large yawn, showing her sharp white teeth. She opened her eyes, and watched the birds in the sky fly. She wanted a moment of silence, it was nice after hearing the rustling of leaves and curses from her warriors hunting. "Do you really want to get out for a little bit?" she inquired, looking at her mate sideways. She was going to give, but if it would happen, Crowstar would at least escort her. It could wake the black she-cat up a bit as well.

Entwining her long tabby tail with that of her mates, she enjoyed the moment of closeness in silence. She almost felt stupid for ever having worried, with a mate as strong as hers in that moment it felt like nothing could ever possibly go wrong. Nuzzling close to her mate's flank, she stood there without answering for a moment. Enjoying the warmth of the shecat, and knowing her mate well enough to guess that she needed the quiet in that moment. The life of a leader was a stressful one, and the very least Dawnsky could try to do was to provide some sanctuary to her. A little moment in time of their own where they could be mates and nothing else, not that it ever lasted long. When it did, she wasn't sure she could have loved a cat more.
"You sound like you're going to fall asleep on your paws," she told her with a purr, though she couldn't hide the excitement at the prospect of getting out of camp for the first time in moons. "It wouldn't have to be long, just stretch my paws." She purred, her tailtip batting left and right in excitement.

m a p l e c l a n inky ; camp a s h s t o r m Just as the light began to trickle through the thick brambles and thorns of the Warriors den, Ashstorm was already getting up out of her nest and stretching out her lengthy limbs. The yellow-eyed she-cat padded out into the middle of the ravine, letting her pale grey tabby fur soak up the warmth of the sun that shone down on the camp. She shook out her fur, nodding towards the massive black tom who ran the whole show. The warrior turned her head as she listened around camp, shrugging a bit to herself when she heard the small rustles coming from each individual den. Settling down, the pale grey tabby began to groom herself, starting with her darker hued paws and ears. After finishing her grooming session, the tabby turned and searched for a familiar dark brown tabby. Her yellow eyes glinted in the warm sun, her ears angling around the camp. Perhaps Tigerwhisker would like to go hunting with her? Ashstorm let her mate sleep; she deserved it, after all. She was one of the most hardworking she-cats in the Clan, and she deserved a rest every once in a while. The grey tabby continued on in her search for the smaller she, her tail flicking a bit.

c r o w s t a r [ morning | cloverclan | camp ] "Then let's go, but only around Blossom Prairie. It's one of the safest places." Crowstar said, giving an amused look at the brown tabby. Blossom Prairie was also near the camp, meaning the two wouldn't have to go far. It was a win-win situation. The best part would be that Crowstar could nap with her when they get back. Standing up, Crowstar turned and swooped her tail under Dawnsky's chin before padding towards the entrance. Luckily, the way into camp wouldn't be much trouble for her mate. It was large enough for her to get through and young apprentices were expected to climb it on their first outing. The black cat waited by the stump and gazed at the clear sky. It would be a lovely day for the two.

(I feel no shame in admitting I find these two incredibly cute)
"You're no fun," the queen retorted with a chuckle, though followed her mate without a word of protest. The swell of her stomach swinging beneath her as she went, wincing a little with the effort but not that she was going to admit to her leader that she found it difficult. The shecat paused, gathering her strength to make the leap. It was by no means difficult, and her paws very nearly slipped from under her with the effort. But she hauled herself upright before she could fall too very far and turned around to look back at her mate with a laugh. "You made pregnancy look a lot more elegant than I currently feel," she meowed with a pant. Though the grin still lit her expression.

c r o w s t a r [ morning | cloverclan | camp ] "Yeah, Goosewing can vouch for that!" Crowstar mewed with a gleam in her eye. Goosewing was Crowstar's former apprentice. She eyed Dawnsky's belly, hoping that she and their new litter would be alright. Determination flared up inside her, and she secretly vowed to keep her safe no matter what. "Elegant? I waddled like a lopsided badger!" she exclaimed, looking up the stump. The CloverClan leader easily climbed her way up, not wanting to jump onto her mate. She coolly slide out like an otter sliding out from the brooks. Before she let Dawnsky take another step forward, she scented the air for danger and checked the surroundings. "It's safe." she purred. "The view the prairie has will be gorgeous around this time. The sunlight will stream down from the trees.." she trailed off, remembering that it was the place she first realized her feelings for Dawnsky. The two were arranged based off of preference and Crowstar wasn't sure about the pairing. However, she made the effort to get to know her and it was well worth it. While it was common in the two Clans, Crowstar truly felt that Dawnsky was a match for her made by StarClan themselves. As she remembered the precious memory, she stared lovingly at the pregnant queen before realizing. "Sorry!" she mewed, feeling a flash of embarrassment. "L-Let's go on, then." she meowed as she gently nudged her mate forward. [ They are! I hope I'm not being too mushy, but I want to highlight how Crow acts a little more herself with Dawn instead of trying to be a steady, noble leader.]

(I love that kind of relationship honestly [would it be ok if she started kitting out of camp?]) Managing to return to her mate's side with a little more elegance this time, Dawnsky looked to her mate with a little concern when she fell silent. Tilting her head to the side with a chuckle, "Mousebrain," she purred but there was no malice to her tone of voice, only affection mixed with a rather large amount of laughter. "You always make sure I'm safe," she added with a chuckle, "I have no doubt that I'm safe when around you," she said with a reassuring purr. Touching her nose to her mate's shoulder, thrilled to be outside of camp for the first time in moons. Very much looking like an apprentice on her first venture outside of camp, even if the swell of her distended stomach made it less than an easy task. "Even if it makes life a lot less fun." She added before setting off in the direction of the prairie. Tail tip twitching in excitement as she followed the all too familiar path, the place was full of wonderful memories.
Dawnsky slipped into the blossom filled meadow with a purr, lifting her nose to the sky and searching for scents, mostly out of habit after moons of serving as a warrior. She hadn't adapted to queen life all that well. She paused at the scent she caught, eyes lighting with hope. Vole. A quiet purr ripped from her throat and without a word she slipped into the hunting crouch. It was awkward considering how pregnant she was, but it seemed not to hinder her too badly and she crept forward. Before lunging.
Returning to her mate with the prey grasped tightly in her jaws, though panting a little from the excursion. "Prey's more mousebrained then I remember if I was able to catch it," she said with a laugh, dropping it to the ground with a thump and covering it so they would return to it later. Before returning her attention to her leader, "Its even prettier than I remember," she purred. The blossoms beginning to show their colours as newleaf was beginning. "It feels like moons ago since we were last here." She couldn't help but remember how much had changed, now the pair had a daughter, and even more on the way.
The queen flinched as the fear returned to her shoulders, after having seen what happened with her mate's kitting. Her fears were only natural, and they plagued her more than she tried to let on.

H A W K S O N G [ morning | mapleclan | camp ] The she-cat slowly arose from her slumber. She lifted her head up slowly and opened her eyes before shutting them again to shield them from the sunlight peering into the warriors den. She grumbled and stood, stretching out her legs one by one. She stepped out of her nest and padded into the clearing of the camp. She was going to mew a greeting to Ashstorm, but she was searching for something. Hawksong assumed her mate had a patrol to lead, so she slipped out of camp on her own. She determined she'll hunt near Little Duck Creek, ready to get something in her belly. Of course, she knew she had to wait until she came back with more prey for others, but oh did she fantasize about what she'd catch. A hare sounded absolutely delicious, but the grim reminder of her empty stomach broke the illusion. She shook her head and licked her chops, focusing herself on the task at hand. She burst into a sprint, following a small stream that lead to the creek. When she arrived, she stopped to catch her breath from the running. Then she tasted the air, opening her jaws so everything would touch the roof of her mouth. The she-cat closed her eyes and listened for signs of prey. "A squirrel, water voles.. No hares.. Damn!" She sighed and decided to go with the water voles first. The she-cat was determined to catch both different kinds, but sometimes hunting doesn't go as planned. [ There's a starter for Maple!]
[ I would prefer we'd have Sweetdapple claimed before we have her kit, but if Dou and Inky are comfortable with us just using her for it, then I have no issues. Let me get my reply up.] c r o w s t a r [ morning | cloverclan | camp ] Crowstar let it go, while she could have witty banter with Dawnsky, she decided to let her mate win this one. The beauty of the meadow had Crowstar in awe. The grass was tall and small flowers were blooming here and there. The sunlight was raining down through the trees like she described. Her trance was broken when Dawnsky had moved into a hunter's crouch. "What are.." She didn't get to finish, as her mate lunged away. She returned victorious, despite her large belly. Impressed, Crowstar refused to scold her, instead opting to praise her for the catch in the state she was in. "You were always a fine hunter. I used to feel intimidated." she admitted, purring loudly. Nodding in agreement to what she was saying about the meadow, Crowstar reminisced about the old days before they had their family. Jaypaw was an apprentice now and Crowstar refused to let anyone tell her about the difficult birth. The poor she-cat could take blame on herself when Crowstar knew the consequences. Her good friend, Stonegaze, was kind enough to be a surrogate despite not having kits of his own with his mate, Berryfall. The she-cat couldn't help but feel nervous for Dawnsky. She couldn't imagine the worry the stress she put on her, and she felt guilt wash over her. She apologized for her behavior, being stubborn and insisting she'd be the one to carry. She was selfish and learned her lesson from that experience. She also felt even more guilty, as she wanted a big family and therefore was putting Dawnsky through the pregnancy. The two had raised Jaypaw well as a kit and Crowstar knew their daughter would continue to need them despite being an apprentice. She pressed against Dawnsky, giving in to her feelings of hopelessness and guilt.

(woo hoo!)
Dawnsky sniffed at this, a chuckle coming from her as she settled in the grass beside her. Stretching out in the grass, enjoying their coarse feel against her swollen stomach. "I've met badgers who I don't think could intimidate you," she purred affectionately. Though it was clear her words were said mostly absent minded, she pressed her nose against Crowstar's cheek when the leader pressed close to her. A quiet meow coming from her lips this time, more serious then she ever usually was. "We're all going to be fine, you know," she promised leaning down to press her nose against the swell of her stomach. "The kits and I will be fine," she did a good job at acting certain. Though the nervous glint in her dark eyes gave her away somewhat. She lowered her head to her paws with a gentle yawn, "Why don't we sleep here for a bit?" She offered, shifting her flanks in a show of slight discomfort but it wasn't too uncomfortable. "It'd be nice to just be you and me for a little while."

[ Yes, you can. I may have to poof. >-<] c r o w s t a r [ morning | cloverclan | camp ] Crowstar chuckled at the badger comment. Then her mate turned serious and commented on how everything would be alright. However, she caught the glint in Dawnsky's eye. "Are you alright?" she asked, settling down next to her mate. Something seemed off and the black cat couldn't help but feel uneasy. She furrowed her brown and looked deep into Dawnsky's amber eyes. "I can take you back instead if you feel unwell.." she meowed, trying to hide the nervous flick of her tail tip. She looked way and closed her eyes, trying to force herself to relax. "You're just getting worked up, Crowstar. It'll be okay, she even said so!" the leader thought to herself. The former queen swiveled her head back. "Or if you're hungry, I can grab you something." She didn't want Dawnsky to just go hungry, especially when she had to feed the kits in her belly. The she-cat sighed and gently pressed against Dawnsky again. "I love you." she meowed.

"Good," she whispered in return. Touching her nose to her mate's ear, "Because I love you too." Her words were firm and without uncertainty this time, she looked saddened at the prospect of returning to camp and pressed closer to the shecat she loved. Neither cat were a fan of public displays of affection, so it wasn't often they could be so close together, and she didn't wish to finish just yet. But the discomfort in her stomach was growing, whilst it didn't strike her for a second that the reason might be the imminent arrival of her kits, after having seen the ordeal of Crowstar she expected the pain to be far worse at this stage, and for now it was little worse than a heavy kicking sensation. Though it was slowly growing stronger, "We could share the vole?" She offered, pressing close to her mate. Grimacing inwards as the rippling in her stomach became more obvious. "The kits don't seem to want to sit still," she grumbled sprawling out a little in the grass. A pant beginning to take the form of her breaths.

(Sorry it took so long to reply I got into a minor accident on my way to school. I'm good though it was just scary lol) Tigerwhisker ; Mapleclan Camp
The night before Tigerwhisker had gone on the late night patrol, so after waking up to sunlight directly on her face, she exited the warriors den. The tabby she-cat yawned stretching as she left. It wasn't super early, but it was early enough. As she shook the moss from her pelt she dug her claws into the ground leaving small markings in the dirt. She glanced around for her mate, after a few moments of not catching sight of his familiar ginger and white pelt she figured he was busy with other duties. She sat down and wrapped her tail around her paws neatly. Lifting on of her laws she began running her tongue over it before swiping it over her ears. The warrior was minding he own business for the beginning part of the morning but then she noticed another cat she knew pretty well. It looked like her friend was looking for someone, perhaps she was looked for her mate? Tigerwhisker flicked her tail slightly, she had seen Hawksong not that long ago still sleeping. Maybe she should let the other cat know. The small cat stood up trotting over to her friend.
"Hey, you looking for Hawksong? She is still sleeping... At least she was last time I checked." Tigerwhisker mewed softly with an awkward laugh, "I'm free if you need someone to bug you. I'd be more than happy to pester you with my company." The warrior's whiskers twitched with amusement at her own comments. She thought she was funny, at least there was one cat who thought so.
