Graystripe's P.O.V

I stood there watching them. " How could Fireheart have a relation ship with Spottedleaf" I whispered to myself. Fireheart ran over to me and asked if I wanted to go hunting again. " Um sure, but first I need to talk to you about something" I said still in shock. " Um okay?". " So, what do we need to talk about" he asked with some fear in his voice. " I know about you and Spottedle-" he stopped me there. "HOW DO YOU KNOW!!!!!" he said in a quiet yell. " I saw you and her out of the medicine den" I said quietly. "*sigh* then i guess you know she's expecting" He said hopelessly. "WHAT!" I yelled. " Shh, were trying to keep it a secret" he said in an angry voice " If anyone finds out Spottedleaf's expecting she might have to quit her job as a medicine cat!!" He said to me with more anger than I had ever seen him have " I'm sorry I just want to make sure Spottedleaf is happy" He said with sorrow in his voice. "I understand I wont tell anyone" I said with understanding. " Oh Graystripe, Thank you so much!!!" He said joyfully. we went hunting for a while still taking about his relationship "I just thought she was getting plump!" I said with a smirk. " Nope, and guess what!"He said excitedly. "What?" "She's gonna have them in about 2 or 3 moons!!!" he said hopping around. "Wow really, when did she tell you" I said quietly while stalking a bunny. " about a moon ago" he whispered. I jumped landed straight on the bunnies tail and sank my teeth into his neck before he could bounce off. "nice catch" Fireheart yelled. "Thanks!". We headed back to camp a little later Fireheart had caught 2 mice and I just had my rabbit. We took them over to the elders and settled down next the warrior's den with a sparrow and a vole. "So do you think I should tell Spottedleaf that I told you" Fireheart asked. "Well knowing Spottedleaf I think she'll be fine with it." "oh you know sweet Spottedleaf you don't know i'm gonna kill you if you tell someone Spottedleaf!" he said with panic in his voice. "Calm down the cat who you really need to worry about though is Bluestar" I told him. " mousebrain if she finds out i'll be punished again" he whispered to himself. " That's why you have to stop talking about it" I said in a quiet yell. "You're right I need to stop talking about!" He said with confidence. "Good now lets go tell Spottedleaf that you told me" "WHAT!! why would we do that" he whispered. "She's gonna find out sooner or later and then she's gonna be even more angry that you didn't tell her" I said with a laugh. "oh, fine!" he said with fear in his voice and they padded off to the medicine den. "Spottedleaf, are you there?" he came in limping pretending he was hurt so if there were any other cats in the den they would not find it suspicious. "I'm right here" she said and then looked at him "oh are you hurt, are you okay, here lay down let me check your paw" she said frightened. "i'm okay I-I just need to tell you something" he said "*sigh* Graystripe knows about u-" she stopped him there " why did you tell him!" She almost yelled. "I didn't he saw us!" Fireheart defended himself. "But he also kinda knows that your expecting" "WHAT!!!" She yelled. "That was kinda my fault cause I thought he knew you were and please don't yell at me!" He said frightened. "*sigh* i'm not gonna yell at you" she walked past him and stood right in font of me. "i'm gonna yell at you!!! YOU BETTER NOT TELL ANYONE UNDERSTAND!!" "*gulp* I-I understa-stand" I said more frightened than I had ever been in my life. "Good, now to the warriors den and sleep you guys look tired" She said calming down. "Bu-" Fireheart complained like a kit "Medicine cats orders" She said with a laugh. "oh, fine" He said. she gave him lick between his ears and they padded out and in to the warriors den. once we got comfortable in our nests I said" I still can't believe that you and Spottedleaf are mates" with a laugh then I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
