Mapleleaf exhaled, amused by seeing her own breath. She was wanting for Toadleg, a warrior of Snakeclan. They were to meet up and discuss things. Things meant what they were to do about their kits. Yes, she was pregnant. For the third time. These were his though. The other kits were from Raincloud and Goldentail.

She had a mate of her own, if you were asking. She truly loved him, she really did. But these toms just thought she was pretty and she was only granting their wishes.

Mapleleaf heard a rustle in the bush, her green eyes narrowed. There, a light smoky tail appeared out of the bush. A paw came out of it as well, then two, then three. Soon all broad paws were out, a tongue swept over the left one.

❝Toadleg,❞ she padded over the border, but she looked around for a patrol.

❝Don't worry, they aren't here. I told them I saw a few paws tracks of a rabbit and the chance of a burrow where a few of them could be,❞ Toadleg came to her and licked her forehead.

❝So, about the kits,❞ Mapleleaf started, licking her belly. ❝They are due anytime now.❞

Toadleg nodded, his expression was serious yet gentle. ❝What have you done with your previous ones?❞

She shrugged, ❝Different things. I gave Goldentail's to a barn-cat, the Two-legs take them in for kittypets. Raincloud's, I just gave two of them to a rogue group and then the other three I gave to Dawneyes.❞ Toadleg was obviously impressed.

❝Hawkclan doesn't notice?❞ He was sure it was impossible to get away with being so big around the belly and not be questioned. ❝You ignore everyone?❞

The tortoiseshell chuckled, sitting down, ❝I am rather small when it comes to my build, so when I become pregnant it looks like I'm trying to get warm. That's why I have the kits during leaf-bare.❞

❝That's really clever,❞ he smiled and touched her nose.

❝I know.❞
