Chapter 1

A yowl broke into the clearing. Thistlehawk lifted his head up.His whiskers twitching. He could tell that their leader did not make that yowl. Thistlehawk stood up and unsheathed his claws ready for a battle. If there is one. Shadestar walked out from his den. His black pelt looked freshly groomed.

"Whats going on!" He bellowed. His eyes narrowed.The yowl went off again. Thistlehawk turned to see Greydawn with Shadowmoon. She was leaning on him. He narrowed his eyes and let out a small growl. He then ran up to them.

"She is about to have kits!" Greydawn shouted.

"Are you okay?" Thistlehawk asked her. He licked her ear and, shot a glance at Greydawn. Who lashed his tail and narrowed his eyes.

"WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE MOUSE BRAIN! I AM ABOUT TO HAVE KITS!" He jumped back at her quick reply.. 

"Out of the way!" Redfoot ran over to her

"Get her in the nursery now!" He instructed Greydawn. He nodded his head and helped Shadowmoon.

"I dont want him any where near her!" Thistlehawk growled. Redfoot rested his tail on Thistlegawks shoulder..

"Now Thistlehawk-"

"THATS MY MATE! AND I DONT WANT HIM NEAR HER!" He shouted. His eyes narrowd and claws unseathed. Thistlehawk sighed"What about if the birth goes wrong?" he started to ask.

"She will be fine if you let me go and help her" Redfoot said camly. Thistlehawk had heard of queens die when they give birth. He loved Shadowmoon so much, he has to be there. Redfoot shook his head and ran to help Shadowmoon. Thistlehawk hissed began to start pacing up and down the camp. Snowfeather came up to him.

"Look she is doing okay" She put her tail on his shoulder. Her brown gaze caught his.

"How do know she will be okay?" He asked her while narrowing his eyes

"Trust me. Eat these" She smiled and trotted off. Thistlehawk looked down to see some poppy seeds. He opened his mouth to get a better taste. He started to lick up the seeds. He suddenly felt tired. Soon he drifted off in to a deep sleep.

   A paw prodded him awake. He looked up to see Redfoot standing over him.

"Shadowmoon wants you" Thistlehawk jumped up at the sound of his mates name.

"Is she okay?"

"go and see for yourself" Thistlehawk ran over to get a pulp vole from the fresh kill pile. Sunsky looked at him and smiled.

"Your a father now Thistlehawk" His reply was a smile and with that he ran into the nursery. The sweet smell of milk hit his grey nose. He looked over to see shadowmoon with a black bundle of fur. Shadowmoon looked at him him and smiled. He walk up to her and gave her the mouse. She dipped her head.

"how do you feel?" He asked while licking her head. Shadowmoon started to purr quietly.

"never felt better" Thistlehawk looked at the kit.

"I have not named her yet" He could feel tears in his eyes. He has always wanted a daughter

"What about............. Lightningkit?" Shadowmoon looked down at the new born kit 

"I love it" Thistlehawk sat next to them and licked Lightningkit

"i love you thistlehawk" Shadowmoon whispered on his ear. It sent shock waves down his spine.

"I love you too" Soon they all drifted off into a deep sleep.
