Silverstep had told Foulstep to come here at sunhigh. That time was coming close now. I hope my news would cheer him up. She thought sadly. She had kept this secret to herself for sometime now. She wasn't big, yet. But soon enough. He hasn't been the same. She thought. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts, she didn't hear Foulstep approaching.

Foulstep's muscles were always tense now and he was always alert for anything or one that might be near. He was headed to whisper creek to meet Silverstep. When Foulsteps arrived he sat down, realizing Silverstep hadn't seen him he snuck up behind her and tackled her. "Now, I thought you would've heard me" Foulstep grinned.

Silverstep jumped in shock at her mate's approach. Her shock quickly turned into happiness, then quickly faded into saddness, and fear. "Foulstep, I need to tell you something." She wriggled out of his tackle. "But," She stopped, hesitant.

Foulsteps sat down, curling his ginger/brown tail over large paws and looked at Silverstep curiously "But what?" He had easily noticed the sadness and fear on her face and it worried him, was something wrong?

She saw Foulstep's worried look, and she softened her expression. "I'm expecting kits now." She murmured. "But-" She stared. She took a deep breath. "But, I am afraid," She looked into Foulstep's eyes, making direct contact. "Graspingwish said I still wasn't fit enough to handle birth." A couple moons ago, she was badly wounded by the empties. She didn't even bother looking at her wounds until she knew everyone was safe. Especially that queen, Raindancer. She thought. Now, she can only do light warrior's tasks. "I am afraid." She whispered. "I'm not ready for this. Promise me, that you will be by my side when the time comes." Her gaze showed her fear, and her compassion. Underneath it all, you could see a glimemr of happiness. Kits! That was something to be happy about.

Foulstep's amber eyes widened and his head whirled with thoughts. Silverstep was expecting kits, but she wasn't fit enough because of the Empties? Oh how he wished he'd killed that wretched peice of srap metal. He was snapped back to reality when Silverstep began again. "I promise...that I will always be by your side, no matter what Silverstep" |

Silverstep purred, but her eyes still showed her distress. Oh DreamClan, what will happen now...... She thought. "I think I am going to move into the nursery now. I think it would be best, and, I need to save my energy." Silverstep meowed briskly, trying to shake the feeling that something dreadful was going to happen. Suddenly, she started purring with pure happiness, the distress erased from her eyes. "I just felt them move." She whispered. She lied down in the cool grass, listening to the water, and thinking back to the time she had first met Foulstep.
OOC: When the time comes, can Foulstep be late, like he was hurrying from somewhere, and Silverstep becomes distressed, and she and her kits ALMOST die? (Brainstorming, it hurts. XD)
