Thunderheart lowered his head, eyes closed as he listened to Yewberry beg in the same manner he had. “This is where Autumn belongs.” He meowed, raising his head and looking sorrowfully at his clan mate. Rat padded out into the open, shooting Thunderheart an annoyed look. He thought back to their fight, and still was distrusting of the tom. Yewberry seemed saddened by this. He quietly asked. "Are you happy here, Leafblaze?...Autumn? Happier here than when you were with me?" Autumn gave a heavy look, pressing close to her brother, who sagged in defeat. She assured. "You're always going to be my brother...but I can't go back...not...not when I have this responsability." "Which makes me wonder!" Pharah's voice sounded from around the corner, the kittypet Wanderer licking her paws as she snorted. "She's your sister? She's pretty tough, and hardy, to be leading this group while expecting kits! You should respect her decisions." Yewberry tensed harshly, eyes wide as his sister's head whipped up sharply, her own eyes bugging wide.

Thunderheart’s head turned sharply. “Kits?” His ears pinned. “You’re speaking nonsense. Right, Autumn?” He turned his head to face her, his eyes wide and begging for assurance. Rat’s eyes widened. He wasn’t the only one to notice Autumn’s recent changes. The tom remained silent. "I didn't...I haven't..." Autumn breathed silently, slowly turning to look at Thunderheart before she turned and looked at her group. Irene called down. "Oh geez! You didn't know this whole time? We thought you knew!" Pharah suddenly flinched with guilt. "Oh no...I didn't mean to freak anyone out, I can go if you-" "No no...no, it's okay...it...all makes sense now. Oh Starclan...oh Starclan..." Autumn shook her head slowly, taking a few steps back. Yewberry stared between Thunderheart and Autumn before giving a fierce snap. "You! You scoundrel! You get my sister pregnant and you leave her to run a group in Twolegplace alone?!" His claws extended, protective shock in his eyes.

Thunderheart shifted his paws, his mouth gaping. Try as he might, the large tom couldn’t find words. “I-I... I didn’t... I didn’t mean to.” His fur rose along his shoulders as his ears flattened in terror. “I-I don’t...” Rat thought fast. “Kits! That’s great!” He meowed cheerfully, quickly trotting forward. “They’ll be the first born kits of our group!” Yewberry was about to lunge, only for Autumn to quickly step close to him and shake her head lightly, eyes begging. "Brother, no, you musn't blame him. I will be honest, to all of you. When Thunderheart and the patrol came to us, a moon or so ago, Thunderheart and I admitted our care for eachother...It was only one moment, but if what is being said is true...Then now I bear the concequences." She closed her eyes tightly, before a hardened yet hesitant look filled her eyes. "You...you shouldn't have come back. Now you'll fret and feel as if you have to break your loyalty. How could I do that to Sunclan, when they need you?"

Thunderheart stepped closer to Leafblaze. “But, our kits...” his eyes were soft, “How can I leave you knowing you’re carrying our kits.. my kits?” (Sorry for short replyyyy :3 cleaning my house) Autumn took a painful step back, tail curling sharply as she took a deep and heavy breath. "Sunclan needs you...You should have found a better mate there, they need you, and they don't need me. I'll-...these kits will be rouges with me, they must be." Yewberry burst out. "We do need you! I need you, your kits would be safer with kin!" Noble gave a sharp glare. "What's so bad about our home? It's far safer and more accepting than this clan, apparently!"

“SunClan would accept the kits. SunClan is very accepting of outsiders...” Thunderheart glanced around as he trailed off. Rat piped in, “Wouldn’t the kits be clanborn? Since you’re both from a clan after all? Maybe the tom is right...?” Rat flicked his tail towards Yewberry. “If what Autumn taught me is true... how caring the clans are...” "They drove her out!" Noble exclaimed, his tail lashing. He seemed almost desperate. "And now they want her back? What about us? How can we possibly compete? It's because of her that we all have a home now, have a real family now!" His ears flattened. Autumn looked between Noble and Rat and the other cats around her. She suddenly felt overwhelmed and her paws pulled at the ground. She thought of the kits inside her, suddenly understanding what the fluttering was. She knew she had to take responsability. But Noble had a point too. She was afraid to leave the new home she helped to create. Yewberry bristled at Noble's words, but his eyes betrayed his nervousness. It was up to Leafblaze after all. He swallowed as she spoke suddenly. "I will speak with my group. I will get their opinions. The only reason I'm considering it...is because I couldn't keep these kits from you...either of you. But I can't just leave." She turned around sharply, and ordered. "You two wait here. Wanderers, to me...I want to hear from you, guidance from my group." She stormed into the twolegnest, Noble following right on her heels.

(I think so! Mine was Wrenkit and he was gonna be really softhearted with yewberry’s coloring) Rat quickly padded to Autumn, uncertainty in his stomach. Thunderheart watched Autumn walk away before turning to Yewberry. “I didn’t mean for this to happen.” He meowed quietly, obvious pain in his voice. Yewberry hung his head, misery in his eyes. "Look at all these cats, who follow her and depend on her. I...How can we possibly do this? What will the clan say, if she comes back pregnant?" He took a shuddering breath. "I want her back, but if she's not happy? What kind of brother would I be?" Autumn slowed to sit in the center of the nest, taking a deep breath. "I...You all know, this nest, this group, it is at the center of my heart. When I was at my lowest, I met Rat and Muffin and learned to fight for honor again. If...I go, you musn't ever think I'd go forever. But these kits, they are not only mine...they are more Sunclan, and...and I don't know." "This is a choice that every mother makes. What to prioritize for their kits. Oh love, you and your charges have built us a home we'd never thought possible. You think you leaving would let us get that taken away?...Your kits are important. They need you more than anyone." Irene padded towards Autumn, eyes assuring. Noble gave a small sniff, uncharacteristic for his happy demeanor as he begged. "I...I don't want you to go. What if Sunclan sways you? What if you never want to come home to us?"

Rat shifted his paws. “I’ve never known clan life.” He meowed, “But if what you’ve told me about the unity of SunClan is true...” He looked up at Autumn sincerely, “As well as how much you say the healing cats know, I think you should go. For the safety of your kits. Out here there are dogs, sickness...” Rat glanced around, his yellow eyes wary for the backlash he guessed would come. Thunderheart looked broken. “I’m torn. I want to know my kits.” He looked down at his paws. “I need her to be happy.” Noble gave a defeated crouch, knowing in his heart that Rat had a point. There was no true healer yet, even Autumn wasn't able to help concieve kits. He felt his heart ache though. Autumn blinked and looked at her group, each cat resting upon her heart, painfully and with meaning. She then realized, the way they stood and pressed to eachother, former strangers becoming family, she knew deep in her heart that her group would be okay. That if she left, her group would keep going, and her kits would know their family. It didn't remove the crack in her voice as she whispered. "I will return then...For my kits, and with the knowing in my heart that you all will continue this group and stay strong. Until the day I return. I will, Noble. I will surely see you all again." She moved to nose the large tom's forehead, before turning to look at the group. "In my place, I name Rat, Muffin and Noble as your head fighter, hunter...and protector. Keep eachother safe, keep eachother strong, and keep watch for me." She moved to embrace each cat, heart aching but also assured.

Rat squinted his eyes and gave Autumn’s shoulder a lick. “Please come back. Don’t change your mind.” He meowed quietly into her ear. Autumn pressed close to Rat. Pride glowed in her eyes. How strong and grown he had become from his kithood in the past few moons. He and Muffin were both so big now. She mewed softly. "No matter what happens, I could never be more proud of you...When I come back, if I do, I want to give you all names of warriors. Even if you don't use them, I want you to know that in my eyes, you all are my clanmates. Keep them safe, Rat." She pressed to him once more, before taking a deep breath and slipping out of her new home, paws drawing her towards her old one. She gritted her teeth, not wanting to regret her choice by hesitating. She ordered to Yewberry and Thunderheart. "I will return...but if I feel one ounce of desire that I not be there, or that my kits will be judged for my actions, I will walk right out."

Thunderheart dipped his head. “We respect your decision.” Dread grew in the Tom’s stomach as he thought about how their clan mates would react... especially Emberstar. The Golden tom looked to Yewberry. Yewberry gave a weak smile, but promised. "I won't let anyone judge them. Certainly not. If they do, I'll tell them that the only reason half the clan survived was because you gave them the herbs. And they've got blood in the clan." He nodded, giving a guilty and sad look to the seemingly heavy group of cats watching them go. Noble had turned away, retreating to greive in his nest. "I shouldn't have said anything..." Pharah whispered to Rat, eyes wide and upset. "I ruined it, everyone here loves her..."

“Autumn is doing what is best for her kits.” Rat meowed solemnly. Thunderheart turned to the two cats, “Shall we return home now? ...return to SunClan, I mean.” He stumbled over his words slightly, questioning himself as he often did when near Autumn. His stomach fluttered momentarily; he was the father of her kits! "What if the best thing was to stay?" Pharah could only wonder lightly. She looked at Rat, and blinked lightly, before speaking. "I'll stay overnight...I can at least help her out by hunting for you all more than I usually have been doing the past few days. My twolegs won't mind too much." "To Sunclan. Yes..." Autumn answered with simplicity, yet also with strain. She was nervous, but more than ever, she was aching with desire to be close to her...mate? Were they mates? She didn't know. All she knew, is that she selfishly wanted him to join her and her group...but she knew better. Even if Sunclan didn't need her, she still cared for them. They needed Thunderheart.

Noble watched Phara carry a plump squirrel into the twolegnest, the kittypet’s eyes tracing towards the other cats. She sighed, and placed it down. “Still no sign of Autumn?” She asked the cats around her, numbers still growing.
Noble averted his eyes with sad determination, as Slate paused in practicing his battle training, his own eyes unsure.

Borris rested in his guard post outside of the twolegnest, and at Phara's question he shook his head. Spending much of the day watching for signs of their leader, he was starting to feel unsure of her return. He knew for himself how a clan cat was always a clan cat at heart, and he secretly wondered if she would decide to stay in her kithood home. "Autumn must be nursing her kits at this time." He meowed, not wanting to discourage the others with his worries. "A queen can't leave her kits until they reach apprentice age."
Midnight's eyes flashed in a glare at the ground, his claws flexing as he paced. He doubted Autumn was going to come back. It was obvious she loved that Sunclan tom, Thundersomething.

“She’ll come back.” Noble decided, voice thick and strong. He refused to lose hope that the cat who had saved him would never come back. He swallowed. “Besides. Everything is going good. Rat and Muffin are leading us the same way she has. And Irene’s kits are older now. We’re stronger than ever.”
“That’s right...” Slate mewed softly, though his eyes were wide with fresh courage. “I wanna be strong.”

Midnight snorted doubtfully. He missed her, but he didn't like to admit it.
Borris purred, proud of the cats' faith in Autumn and their determination to press onward. "Now that's the Autumn in you talking," The older tom meowed, emotion rising in him. "You're right, Noble. We are strong. And we will be. As long as we remember what Autumn has taught all of you."

“Of course.” Noble nodded quickly. “For now, I think we’ve got hunting done for the day. Has anyone found anymore joiners?”

Hey super sorry I haven't been here! What have I missed? I'll try to get a post in on all the pages before I have to leave for lab) (Leafblaze had her kits in Sunclan and is away for a while, so Rat and Muffin are leading the group in her place. About 3 moons have passed, so everyone’s a bit older.)
