Cloudtail's Promise (ON HOLD!)

meeting the kittens

Cloudtail's P.O.V
I was pacing back and forth. Anxious to see if Brightheart gave birth yet. I was allowed to see the kits. I walked in there trying my best not to look
Nervous. But I knew I did, and when I saw my ki- no OUR kits I smiled. I felt a wave of pride consume my anxiety. Brightheart looked at me and
I licked her ears. I knew that our kits would be safe in thunderclan. Brightheart said "you know.... we were just friends when you promised to
Me that you'd be with me forever." I remember.... it was a new chapter in my life... and I didn't realize it. How could I be so blind? Well it was
When we were apprentices when that happened. And yes well it was near when I became a warrior, it wasn't that.... it was deeper. It was love
Without me knowing it. Just the thought of it made me feel young. Finally, I lay down next to Brightheart after realizing my legs hurt. Our kits
Were Suckling and that reminded me of my mother, Princess. I was getting emotional and then Brightheart said "I understand if you remember
Times when you're young. I do sometimes." I was surprised by what she said. She never told that she remembered times like those, but of course,
It isn't important. What is now is the future and not the past. But I never imagined Brightheart as my mate. Only as a friend. So of course, when
She asked me to be mate I was shocked. But I didn't do it JUST because she asked me of course. I loved her but... was too afraid to go afraid to ask her. I was
Relieved when she asked me! She could've chosen any cat in the clan and she chose me to be her mate. I realized that the kits have no names!
I said "what should we name them?" Brightheart replied with "The gray and white one silverkit, the white only angelkit, and honeykit. I purred
At the thought of raising kits. Sure, I've watched cats through their lives, but it's different when it's your kit. But then... I thought darker things
Like, "what if they die early?" "What if they're too weak?" I shake my head and look at honeykit. "She's beautiful like you." I say. Brightheart smiles and says "they're all beatuiful. I bet they'll be great warriors!" I can't help but to reply with "what if one of them is a deputy? Or leader? Or medicine cat?" Brightheart shakes her head and says "I bet the clan will love them either way. Or at least us." I guess that makes sense. A clan
Helps eachother. That's important and what's a clan about. I'm tired, and decide to leave. Before I leave though, I say bye to brightheart. Then sleep in the Warriors den. I dream of our kits.
