butterfly Blossoms (Private)

CINDERSTEP

OF WHISPERCLAN

A magnificent sunset was underway, a plethora of colours splashed across the sky. Oranges, reds, pinks, even purples, were gathered around the setting sun. A lazy warmth thronged the air. 
Taking advantage of one of the last day of greenleaf, Cinderstep embarked on the (short) journey to the butterfly Garden, where she asked Thrushleap to meet her. She had great news; she was having kits! It wasn't extremely obvious, but Cinderstep knew the signs to check to see if she was expecting. And they were there! Cinderstep was overjoyed to be having kits, especially with her perfect tom. They'll be so beautiful.. she thought, stepping awkwardly through the tall grass. I wonder how many I'll have. It feels like a few. It was sort of hard to walk for her; her legs kept hitting her stomach. 
but the beautiful location was worth it; butterflies of all shapes and colours fluttered around, Cinderstep thinking it rather perfect for an announcement like this. She hoped her kits would grow to be as lively as these beautiful insects. Some perched on vivid, sweet-smelling flowers, some fluttered in the sky; they were all graceful, nonetheless. 
Cinderstep finally sat down, in a large, wide pile of soft, green leaves, looking out over the meadow for her lover.

Thrushleap yawned, ready to settle down after a long day of work. However, he had one last thing to do- talk to Cinderstep. His mate had asked him to meet in the butterfly Fields, so he headed there, feeling curious and confused. What did she have to say? I hope it's not anything bad.

"Cinderstep?" He stepped through tall grass, causing hoardes of butterflies to erupt into flight, and flap off into the sunset. Thrushleap paused to look at the wonderous scenery, and turned back towards his mate. "You asked for me?"

CINDERSTEP

OF WHISPERCLAN

There was a constant, rhythmic rustling sound, followed by a horde of butterflies flying off, alarmed by something far larger than them. Cinderstep smiled as she recognized the white-and-pale-ginger tom weaving his way through the tall grass. She remained lying down, in a position that he wouldn't notice her growing belly. "Hello, Thrushleap!" she mewed happily, nuzzling his cheek. I hope he's okay with this.. I know I'll love them to death, but will he? Her thoughts were interrupted by his query.
"Yes, I did ask for you. I have very good news." she purred, standing up, revealing her larger belly. "I'm expecting your kits!" she exclaimed, searching his eyes for his reaction.

Thrushleap stopped for a moment. His kits? Momentarily stuttering, he suddenly burst out with joy, all dignity forgotten. Hey, your mate having your kits the first time wasn't an everyday thing. "T-that's great!" He spluttered. It was a bit of an understatement, but he pushed against her gently, purring, trying to show his gratitude. Then, he suddenly pulled back, looking at her. She was getting a little bigger around the belly. Frowning, he said, "I'll have you excused from warrior duties tomorrow, if that's all right. I don't want you hurting yourself." Kits! Wow, I can't wait to tell Sunfeather!

It was such fitting weather for this announcement; a colourful, joyous sunset, casting shadows behind the mates. 
Thrushleap was clearly shocked by her news, barely able to articulate his sentence. "T-that's great!" he stuttered; it was cute to see the big, strong deputy lost for words. "It is great! I'm so glad to be having the best mate in the world's kits." she purred, her whole body rumbling. She nuzzled Thrushleap as he cuddled her, purring, making her almost turn into nothing more than a fluffy, vibrating ball. Life is just great.!
Thrushleap frowned, and alarm struck Cinderstep; she was not expecting him to become angry, sad, or the like. "I'll have you excused from warrior duties tomorrow, if that's all right. I don't want you hurting yourself." Oh, good. "That's fine, I wouldn't want to hurt them eith-" She broke off with a funny feeling in her belly. She realised it was one of the kits moving. "Haha, I can feel one moving. but we'd better head back to camp soon.. what do you think?"

"I think they'll be the best kits ever," he murmured, pausing to sniff at her belly. "Go and rest, Cinderstep," he instrusted, guiding her over to the nursery. "I'll go hunting for some fresh food for you, and I can ask someone to make a nest for you. Ah, they'll be great!" He purred, nuzzling her again. "Love you!" He shouted over his shoulder (admist many stares), and pounded out of camp. "I'M GONNA BE A FATHER!" he yowled to the entire forest, forgettting about scaring away the prey. They would come back later. Today was his and Cinderstep's day to celebrate.
