..so many questions; [brook]

[SHADE. :D]

Cherrysmoke padded stiff-legged from the sheltered corner that was the medicine cat's den. She hoped no cat had seen her. Her blue-green eyes showed joy, but mixed with pure terror. This strange mix pf emotions made her quiver with excitement, but her til quail with fright. What would happen to her now?
The red-brown warrior entered the warriors' den and prodded the silver tabby body of her mate, Crescentgaze.

^{Crescentgaze had been dreaming of Cherrysmoke. They were with four other cats. Young ones. He couldn't finish the dream though. His eyes popped open and he saw Cherrysmoke looking down at him. He sat up and liked her ear. "Morning,"he purred lovingly. "You okay?"he asked in a concerned voice.}

[SHADE. :D]

Cherrysmoke did not reply. She looked around to check the warriors' den was empty of warriors who wern't fast asleep as her mate had been a minute ago. Then she sat down beside Crescentgaze, pelt brushing his for comfort.
"I..." she began. I don't know how to tell you." The young warrior's face crumpled.

^{Crescentgaze buried his muzzle in her fur and purred. "You can tell me anything,"he mewed,"And I'll still love you no matter what it is." He smiled and licked her ear in a comforting way.}

[SHADE. :D]

Cherrysmoke gave him a weak smile, but she still looked scared. More scared than excited now. She quailed breifl, then said all in a rusg: "I'm going to have your kits."
She stopped, breathing deeply, and stared at her paws, witing for her mate's reaction.

[brook]

^{"Kits!"Crescentgaze exclaimed. He could barely hold back his excitement. "Thats wonderful!"he mewed and smiled a loving smile at her. "I'll be there for you. Don't worry. This is supposed to be a happy time."}

[SHADE. :D]

Cherrysmoke gave him a small smile, but then worry clouded her eyes. "But... I'm not sure I can do it." she admitted, scuffling a paw along the earth. The red-brown warrior's tail twitched self-consciously; she had never really liked admitting her feelings, and obviously Crescentgaze knew that... Didn't he...?

[brook]

^{Crescentgaze gave her a comfortting lick. "I believe you can do it,"he mewed softly and he brushed his muzzle against her shoulder. "I believe you can do anything you set your mind to doing,"he purred and closed his eyes.}

[SHADE. :D]

Cherrysmoke smiled and nuzzled into his chest. That was why she loved Crescentgaze... She licked his nose, not for the first time that morning wishing Willowpaw were there. She still missed her friend, though she had disappeared before Cherrysmoke's warrior ceremony.
"I wish Willowpaw were here," she mumbled into her mate's chest.

[brook]

^{Crescentgaze smiled and purred. He set his chin on the top of her head and closed his eyes again. "She is here,"he mewed softly,"In your heart." He rubbed his cheek against her head and purred loudly. He remember Willowpaw. She was a pretty cat with a big heart and cared for everyone but when she died it was a hard time for Cherrysmoke and for most of the Clan.}

[SHADE. :D]

Cherrysmoke smiled at her mate. hen Willowpaw had been slain by a badger, Cherrysmoke had refused to believe she was dead, because they had never found her body. All they had found were tufts of long, bark brown fur, bloodstains and the apprentice's scent mixed with a badger's Cherrysmoke still did not believe she was gone.
"I suppose I should rest," she murmured.

[brook]

^{Crescentgaze nodded. "I suppose you will be moving to the nursery now?"he asked though knowing what the answer would be. "And leave me in the warrior's den be my self?"he added with a smile}
