The lake shimmered with the reflection of stars, and two cats looked over it. Their tails were twined happily and they pressed close together to warm themselves in the crisp leaf-fall air.
"Do you think it'll be a peaceful leaf-bare?"
"No one knows yet."
"Do you think that.. they will be healthy?" The she-cat looked at her swollen belly, bewildered by the fact that tiny lives are growing inside of her.
"It will all be fine, you are their mother and I am their father. We'll always be there for them through thick and thin. I'm lucky to have you as a mate."
"If you say so.. We will make sure they can live happy lives."
The sun's first dazzling rays started to peek over the horizon, turning everything golden in the burst of light.
"We should go back to camp. You should get in all the sleep you can after we woke up early together."
The she-cat nodded and followed him back to camp, though she wasn't tired. Being next to him gave her energy, and she always felt safe around him.
