A lone figure walked through the marshes of the Riverclan. The moonlight shown on a sleek gray and white pelt of the plump she-cat with beautiful clear blue eyes. She paused tasting the air.

Petalfur had already planned how she would get away from the camp unnoticed. She hid poppy seeds in pieces of fresh-kill and fed it to the other queens and Rainstorm. She knew that Mistystar would never tolerate what the young queen was doing, but Petalfur didn't care, she wouldn't stop seeing him.

Soon the shore of the lake appeared before her and she could see the island in the distance on the shimmering lake. Petalfur tasted the air then wadded into the lake until she was swimming gracefully.

The lake had never looked so beautiful, she thought as she swam towards the island, her thoughts immediately went over to thinking of the moonlight shining down on golden tabby fur, amber eyes reflecting the moon's light almost like the sun.

A nudge in her tummy made the queen purred, but the weight was taking its toll. Petalfur shouldn't really be out of the nursery for she could kit any day now but she had to see him, she promised him that she would keep seeing him.

She finally reached the island and pulled herself out of the water shaking herself off, she gave herself a few licks of her tongue to dry her wet fur before she stood up straight and headed into the bushes.

Petalfur pushes her way out of the bushes and her heart leapt for joy when she saw the tom of her affection, Lionblaze was waiting for his, his eyes warm and full of affection.

The two touched noses purring,"how are you and the kits?" Lionblaze asked fondly."Fine, Mothwing says I'm getting close to kitting," Petalfur meowed. Lionblaze pulled back his eyes widen,"if you're so close then you should be in the nursery," he said.

"I know," Petalfur sighed for she recieved this lecture many times,"but I have to see you," she added. Lionblaze smiled and wrapped his golden tabby tail around her pressing his pelt to hers.

They sat there for a while just enjoying the feeling of the other, but then Petalfur gasped. Lionblaze opened his eyes and looked at her,"are you okay?" he asked concern in his eyes.

A cramp seized Petalfur making her collaspe in pain,"the kits!" she gasped again.

"What about them?"

"The kits are coming!"

Lionblaze's eyes widen in horror at this, yet he felt helpless. Jayfeather had been there to help with the birth of his and Cinderheart's son Windkit, but Jayfeather was on the other side of the lake, too far to go.

The golden tom knew he had to do what he could do. He gathered moss and made a soft nest so his mate could lay on it, then thought of what he should do. He had to find help.

"I'll be back," Lionblaze promised his mate,"Don't leave me!" Petalfur wailed, Lionblaze touched his nose to her forehead concern on his face, then he felt what he thought to be two pelts.

The tabby looked up and saw the familiar spotted pelt of Leopardstar, the former leader and beside her was Rippletail.

"We'll look after her," they meowed then a long furred tom appeared,"go find Willowshine, she's in the marshes now," he told Lionblaze.

Lionblaze looked at all three cats then nodded and turned hurrying for the tree bridge.

In Riverclan territory the tom searched desperately for Willowshine. He tasted the air suddenly relieved when he scented the medicine cat apprentice, he pushed through some reeds and saw her bent over some herbs.

"Willowshine," Lionblaze called stepping out of the reeds. The gray tabby turned to him her fur bristling,"Lionblaze, why are you here?" she hissed her blue eyes narrow warily.

"Petalfur is having her kits on the island!" Lionblaze replied quickly his eyes widen in fear for his mate."Oh no," Willowshine gasped,"I'll pick some fresh herbs," the apprentice meowed.

The two cats were soon racing through the marshes and scrambling over the tree bridge and onto the island.

Lionblaze stood trembling as Willowshine crouched over the expecting queen touching her muzzle to Petalfur's flank."There's not time to get her back to camp, she'll have to kit here," Willowshine murmured and offered her friend some of the herbs.

Lionblaze crouched on Petalfur's other side gently encouraging her, he looked up when he heard a mewl. Willowshine was cleaning the fur of a kit. A gray tom by the looks of it.

The medicine cat apprentice nudged the kit to Petalfur's belly. Soon a ginger and white she-cat joined her brother, followed by a dark gray tabby tom, a gray she-cat.

That seemed to be all until Willowshine discovered that there was fifth kit, but Petalfur was already exhausted from having the first four, but she wasn't going to give up and when the last kit, a small gray and white tabby female came out there was silence.

The kit was very tiny. She seemed like she didn't have the strength to even mew. The only sign that she was alive was the faint rising and falling of her flank."She's a runt," Willowshine said her dark eyes on the small scrap of fur, the odds didn't look good for this little one.

"Let's name her anyway," Petalfur meow tiredly, lifting her head to gaze at her mate, Lionblaze nodded."How about Seedkit?" he asked.

Petalfur was silent for a long time then she nodded,"I like that name. Then the biggest one can be Vinekit, then Waspkit," Petalfur added. Lionblaze nodded again and looked at the dark tabby,"how about we name this one Ripplekit, after Rippletail?"

Sorrow reflected in both Petalfur and Willowshine's eyes but they nodded, and then named the last kit Moonkit.

"So these are your kits?" Willowshine asked Lionblaze while Petalfur was resting, the Thunderclan tom looked down and nodded. Willowshine sighed,"I don't know how you're going to deal with this," she said tartly.

Lionblaze bristled,"I can't help it that I love Petalfur," he snapped back to her,"What about Cinderheart and your son Windkit?" Willowshine challeged, Lionblaze's claws unsheathened and he wanted to claw the Riverclan apprentice.

"They will be fine with this," Lionblaze replied, he could tell that she was convice but she shrugged and turned back to Petalfur. But now Lionblaze was worried, what would Cinderheart think? and what about Windkit?
I suddenly gotten the urge to pair Lionblaze with Petalfur, they make a cute couple. And the LionxCinder is for those fans.

Actually Lionblaze really loved Honeyfern and Heathertail more, but then he couldn't have either. On the journey to find the beavers Lionblaze fell in love with Petalfur but kept it secret until at a Gathering he told her, she admitted that she has the same feelings.

However, while Lionblaze is secretly visiting Petalfur, Cinderheart moves into the nursery expecting Lionblaze's kit, which is Windkit, named after Windflight which he looks like.

After moons of meeting Petalfur and those same moons with Cinderheart being in the nursery, Petalfur tells Lionblaze that she's expecting his kits. He's very happy by this for he doesn't really love Cinderheart.

That same night though his son Windkit is born, Brightheart mets the patrol and tells them what has happened and Lionblaze pretends to be happy about it.
