"Did I do a good job, W/n?" BrightPaw mewed with worry in her voice, the p/c she-cat chuckled. "Of course you did, we can focus on the front paw slash tomorrow if you wish?"

The apprentice nodded happily as they reached camp, BrightPaw quickly went to get some prey and sit with SwiftPaw, who had been doing tree climbing with LongTail.

W/n grabbed a vole from the fresh kill pile and sat crouch by the nursery and ate, soon DarkStripe joined her, "how was it?"

"Great, BrightPaw is learning well," She mewed happily, taking a bite out of her vole, W/n looked up at her mate who was looking at her with anticipation. "Alright, we can go out in a second."

The black tabby was up on his paws as the she-cat ate the rest of her Vole. "What were you thinking of doing?" She questioned as they traveled through the forest.

"Well I was thinking of laying around Sunningrocks," DarkStripe purred as she picked up the pace.

W/n ran after him and they arrived at the large stones, "what about RiverClan?"

"We won Sunningrocks back, remember?" DarkStripe meowed as he leaped onto one of the rocks and laid down, tapping his paw on it.

The p/c she-cat rolled her eyes and jumped up onto the rock, laying beside her mate as he licked her fur gently.

"Is was thinking of asking you," DarkStripe murmured as he stopped licking the she-cat's soft pelt, that had almost grown back.

She stared at him with a narrow gaze, "what is it?" The black tabby looked reluctant to say. "I-I was wondering, if you would want to have kits sometime soon?"

W/n sighed heavily, "I do want kits, but I need to train BrightPaw first." DarkStripe nodded, "of course."

A sudden yowl was heard through the forest. W/n lifted herself up and padded towards the noise, her mate following behind.

What was it this time?

"Oh no," DarkStripe halted as a Badger was growling at BrackenPaw, he had a wound on his shoulder, but he didn't run from the beast.

W/n quickly ran at the badger and jumped onto it, the animal flecked slobber everywhere as it tried to shake the warrior off.

DarkStripe started slashing at its paws until the animal stumbled with a hiss and ran away, W/n shook her fur and quickly turned to BrackenPaw.

"Are you alright? Let's take you to the medicine den," the she-cat fretted, not giving the apprentice time to answer.

W/n made BrackenPaw go to the medicine den to get his shoulder wound healed up. "I've never seen you so fierce," DarkStripe meowed in surprise at his mate.

"I don't want anything bad to happen to LionHeart's kits," she sighed as she sat outside of the medicine den, DarkStripe sat next to her as he looked up at the grey clouds.

"I don't want LionHeart's kin to die, I want to protect them so he can live on," W/n added as DarkStripe nuzzled into her fur.

"I wonder where TigerClaw is," DarkStripe spoke quietly as he looked around, the p/c she-cat then noticed that the deputy wasn't around.
