Every time I reread AFD/POS I'm always so thrown off by Star Flower's pregnancy. We all know warriors has the worst writing when it comes to kits. She-cats can be pregnant for weeks to months and kits can open their eyes and speak perfectly at a day old ; but this pregnancy in specifically rubs me the wrong way. There is absolutely no way Star Flower could have Clear Sky's kits at the beginning of PoS. The entirety of AFD and PoS takes place across maybe 3 months. Around the beginning of AFD Star Flower joins Clear Sky's group. Maybe half a month later we see their first romantic encounters, Thunder leaves, and when he comes to fetch Clear Sky to see Quiet Rain maybe another half month later somehow she is knowingly pregnant with Clear Sky's kits. About another half month later and she had given birth. There is absolutely no way her kits should have survived labor. I can maybe believe that she and Clear Sky had kits super fast since we see the same with Storm, but oh my god. She's pregnant for a month and a half at most. How.

I think the kits were born prematurely due to the stress Star Flower was under, but even so, I really wish the Erins would keep a better track of the timeline.

You'd think with so many people to write the books they'd keep better track of everything xD There are fans who are able to quote and name things that they cannot. Aw well, shouldn't complain. Without the Erins none of us would be here in the first place.

They were either born early due to stress (Which is most likely) in PoS or Clear Sky and Star Flower shacked up and did the inappropriate tango as early as their first encounter. Either way, it's weird.

I actually really like this couple, I think they're good for each other, and it made them both better cats.

RL cat pregnancy is about three months. In Warriors, it seems to be about two months. So in universe, Star Flower having kits at a month 1/2 in isn't that unusual. That also seems to be the youngest kits can survive at. Leopardfoot and Sorreltail also had litters that early.

RL cats can be pregnant for around 2 months as well without anything forcing them to give birth, it's not just Warriors. :P

I mean let's be real here, they shouldn't have had kits in the first place.

Wait, i thought she did have feelings for him but realized it would never work between her and Thunder?

Oh, well, it's a good thing it didn't work out, because they're both better with the mates they ended up choosing
