I wouldn't mind, not insomuch Breezepelt and Heathertail having a third litter, but in actually seeing their kits as important characters. So far, all their litters have been minor characters. Then again, they're WindClan. :/

Lemme think.
Cats Who I'm Glad Had Second Litters:
Daisy X Spiderleg: While I wish that they hadn't killed off almost all of Daisy's kits, I'm still glad she had a second litter with Spiderleg. It drew her closer to her Clanmates and showed us what it's like when a cat is a neglectful father from an outsider's perspective, and how hurt Daisy felt that her former mate didn't want to get to know their father. It was a cute arc, one that should've had more focus and wasn't even addressed properly in Daisy's book. In Bramblestar's Storm, there were hints that they'd get back together again...but nope. Dead.
Ferncloud X Dustpelt: It really showcased the bond these two had, watching them raise many litters of kits together in ThunderClan. Ferncloud was a good nursery queen as well as a mother.
Lionblaze X Cinderheart: While I do admit they don't serve much use to ThunderClan, especially not anymore, I think they were good for helping Twigbranch and Finleap interact and bond more. Now that they're gone, they don't take up space in ThunderClan anymore either, which is why I don't mind. If there had been more focus on them from the beginning, however, I'd actually be sad that they left and want more insight into why they left their Clan. Plus there's the whole Spotfur thing.
Now, here are cats I wish had second litters, cats who deserved them, wanted them, or who would've had some use to the books and Clan:
Sandstorm X Firestar: Sandstorm wanted more kits but knew Firestar was busy and kept that to himself. Unlike Bramblestar, however, I doubt he'd have had problems and would've been just fine having some if she spoke up about it.
Nightcloud X (insert tomcat who would work here): Nightcloud deserved to have more kits, despite any objections people have about how she raised Breezepelt. She wanted to keep the family together but struggled due to the flaws she and Crowfeather had, convinced that Crowfeather was resentful of her. Though they agreed to be friends, a part of me almost ships them (though I accept and also like that they decided to be the one pairing that knows they're better off as friends), however, even if they don't get together I wish she'd have more kits. She's too old now for that, I'm guessing, since that was emphasized when she became mates with Crowfeather that being too old to have kits was a troublesome thing for her, but I think and wish she did have the chance to raise a family she always wanted.
Mistystar X Blackclaw: Mistystar, I think, should've had more litters. The one she had was very vague and it would've been neat to actually see her interact with kits later on. Also, even if that got in the way of her deputyship, it would've been neat to see how that affected her, Leopardstar, and the rest of RiverClan, since we all knew they had deputy issues.
Tawnypelt X Rowanstar: Tawnypelt deserves to have kits that are still alive to support her, aside from her rather brash son, and I think she would've done splendid with a second litter.
Cats I Wish Didn't Have A Second Litter
Brighthheart X Cloudtail: Loved their relationship but what I found made them unique was their relationship with their daughter, Whitewing. The dynamic they had with their only daughter was cool and cute and I saw no reason for them to have more kits in OOTS.
Graystripe (having more kits with Millie): I love Briarlight and maybe like her siblings a tiny bit, but I did not really see the need for him to have more kits, especially considering the fact he hardly thinks about him during his adventures in Graystripe's Vow and only thinks about Millie, Silverstream, and the kits he had with Silverstream. It was clear he wanted the medicine cats to focus on Millie's health and let the kits themselves die if something similar to Silverstream's death happened, and it seems he doesn't share the strongest bond with his second litter of kits. Millie would've been better without kits, in my opinion, and would've been cool if she'd been fixed and was the first ThunderClan cat to have been to the cutter for the operation. Plus she said she'd been to the cutter anyway, so makes sense... *sigh*. I think Graystripe didn't need to have more kits.
For the record, I don't think Blossom X Thorn and Sorrel X Dew needed to have kits at all whatsoever, nor did Lily X Snow, as much as I liked them as foster parents to Twigbranch. If those cats had't, ThunderClan would be less flooded with cats and back to normal. Maybe even Spot X Stem, since Spotfur's kits ain't probably gonna get a POV and I don't see a need for them. The most I can see happening is maybe one of the next series protagonists catches feelings for one of them but otherwise they'll most likely be side characters and nothing more.
