Lunarstorm followed a scent trail of another cat through the woods. She knew the scent well, for it belonged to a tom she loved. That tom was Noblestar. He had been Lunarstorm’s mentor not so long ago, and as she grew older, her love for him developed. Her creamy brown and dark brown paws thumped along the ground, making little clouds of dust rise into the air. Finally, she saw Noblestar and her light brown eyes lit up with joy. She ran up to his side and purred, “Noblestar… there’s something I have to tell you.” She paused, pressing her body up against his.

Noblestar blinked at her. He had been on a walk through the Dead Woods, but at the appearance of his mate, he grinned. "What is it?" he asked eagerly, "Anything, so long as its not bad news." He glanced back behind him as he stretched out his long back legs, as Heatherdream had suggested, since she had seen her mother at work. It was supposed to let his legs heal completely, faster, and it was seeming to work, as they were already in pretty good shape. He still had a tiny hint of a limp in his walk, but that may be there the rest of his life. His gaze flicked back to his mate, and he purred lovingly.

Lunarstorm purred back for a few seconds before growing nervous, her light brown eyes seeming to darken a little, then turning quickly back to their normal color. "It's not bad news." She meowed, trying to reassure Noblestar a little. "It's actually really good news. Noblestar... I'm going to have you kits." She looked at the tom, her eyes gleaming with happiness. She just hoped he would be as happy as she was.

Noblestar's eyes widened and he stifled a gasp. He gulped, closing his eyes for a few moments, seemingly distressed. But then his eyes flew open, gazing laughingly into Lunarstorm's. They shone bright green-blue, brimming with uncontained happiness and he grinned at her. "Of course that's good news!" he exclaimed, rubbing up against her, pelt brushing her's. He closed his mouth, showing his teeth no more, but the smile was still there. His paws padded onto the ground and he walked ahead, planning to circle around to her other side - but then nearly smacked into a tree. He swerved last minute, darting to her other side. He laughed.

Lunarstorm chuckled at the tom's antics and batted him over the head playfully, her strange tawny colored claws sheathed. She gazed at Noblestar, her light brown eyes brighter than they had ever been before. "I should actually move to the nursery soon." She meowed. "The kits should be coming within the next quarter moon." Then she closed her eyes for a few seconds and sighed, then quickly opened them again. "I can't believe we're going to be parents!"

"Nor can I," Noblestar agreed, his bright blue eyes confirming the apparent joy within him. He then blinked, eyes narrowing ever so slightly. "Wait, a quarter moon...That means..." he murmured, faltering. He shook his head with a sigh. "You didn't tell me until now. Why don't you fill me in on these things?"

Lunarstorm looked into Noblestar's eyes, knowing her reasoning should satisfy him. "Well," She began. "I thought I was pregnant a few moons ago, but there was no one to confirm it since we have no medicine cat. So when we were at the gathering, Emberfrost took me to find Streamsong and she told me that I was going to have kits soon." The she-cat then smiled shyly at her mate, her eyes gleaming.

Noblestar chuckled. "Ah," he mewed, "Okay then." He grinned at her. "Come on, lets get back to camp. I've got an apprentice and elder ceremony to take care of," he continued, then paused before going on, "I was thinking maybe you could help me train Crystalkit once she becomes 'paw. I'll be her mentor, but I was hoping if you didn't mind..." He laughed dryly. "Seeing as you're expecting kits, that may be difficult," he chuckled, shaking his head. With that, he turned and sped off to camp with his usual limping gait.

Lunarstorm began to run after Noblestar, making sure she kept right next to him, even though she could easily go faster. "That's fine." She meowed, smiling at her mate. "It would be really hard to keep up with training while I'm in the nursery." She meowed.
