Warriors: Second Strike: Banished to the Dark

Chapter 25

[Blossomsoul's POV]

I looked over at Venomtooth as he was laying next to me. I wasn't tired but he wouldn't leave my side until I was asleep. He had been quite annoying recently. Since I told him I was pregnant and he was going to be a father, me made me move into the nursery, won't let me go get my own food, and refuses to let me sleep alone in case I get a cold. I would sometimes ignore him as I used to try to sleep but not at the moment. I twisted in my nest and looked at him with a smile.

"How many kits do you think I'm going to have?" I asked him in a quite purr since I knew most of the other cats in the clan were asleep.

"A whole big litter. If we don't get it on the first try, we can always try again." He chuckled tiredly. I looked at him blinking my eyes. He wanted more kits! That was awesome in my mind.

"How many is in that big litter you are thinking of?" I asked him in a soft purr. In a big litter I was thinking maybe six or seven kits. In his mind it could be different.

"Hm, maybe eight or nine. Nine kits is like the best amount. Eight would be perfect since no one would be the one left out, but I could handle nine. The clan would grow too." He said and licked the top of my head.

"What would you name these eight kits?" I asked him going along with his plan even though I knew I wasn't going to have that much. Doveflame had already told me I was only going to have two or three kits but I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

"I don't know. I would have to see them first. If one of them had black fur, I might name him or her Voidkit. That sounds nice. Voidkit." He chuckled and leaned closer to my belly. "Hey, if there is a black kit in there, you are getting called Voidkit." He whispered before leaning back up and laying his head down.

"What if there isn't one? What if there is a white kit?" I asked him curiously just naming random pelt colors that came to my head.

"Her name would be Flakekit for a snowflake." He smiled with a lazy smile. I leaned over and licked his forehead.

"You are tired. You should get some sleep too." I whispered to him.

"But I don't want to sleep. I want to stay up all night talking to you about the kits until time itself doesn't seem real." He said blinking his green eyes at me. I put my paw on his nose and smiled.

"You have morning patrol. I don't want you to be exhausted because of me. I'm going to sleep now anyways. You won't miss anything. Goodnight Venomtooth." I purred.

"Goodnight Blossomsoul." He putted back before we both fell asleep.
