(I'd rather them not get caught... Ever..)
Pumpkinheart held Maplekit and Flamekit in her jaws, growling at them if they squirmed and hissed. Firekit and Sandkit trotted around her, often causing her to trip.
Burningclaw had gone through StormClan territory and swam across the river, then traveled through MidnightClan to get where he was. His fur was still a bit damp from the swim, but it wasn't as wet as it was when he'd emerged from the water as he'd ran the rest of the way. "Hello, my love." Burningclaw purred, amusement showing as his mate approached.
"Hi," Pumpkinheart meowed quickly, setting Maplekit and Flamekit down. She blinked and her eyes warmed up, filling up with love. "Burningclaw..." She purred, almost in a daze.
Burningclaw looked at the kits and scented them. "Their scents... Yours, mine, and their own.." He looked up at Pumpkinheart, "Names?"
Pumpkinheart smirked, "Yes, they're yours." She poked Flamekit, Firekit, Maplekit, and Sandkit, then said their names as she did so, "Flamekit, Firekit, Maplekit, and Sandkit.." Pumpkinheart padded closer to Burningclaw and whispered, "There was a fifth, Sunkit... She had a golden pelt, but she was still-born.." Her voice showed the pain that she felt knowing she'd lost a kit. Her golden pelt- it was perfect! I can't believe she was dead before she got to live!
"I want to go back to camp and see Skystar!" Maplekit whined.
"Quiet!" Pumpkinheart snapped. Her eye twitched as she noticed some fur sticking up on Sandkit's pelt and she lunged for the kit. "Your fur.."
"WHAT!?" Sandkit mewed in shock, then noticed what her mother meant. Her mother quickly flattened it, "There, fixed." Pumpkinheart meowed happily.
"Are you our father?" Flamekit asked, sitting in front of Burningclaw.
"Yes," Burningclaw answered.
Didn't you hear us, idiot? We already discussed that! Pumpkinheart held in the words, "Never mind Flamekit nor Maplekit. Skystar forced me to give them up- not that I really wanted them... They don't like to play with their other littermates and don't care about their fur."
"Ah," Burningclaw said, looking at his kits.
"I'm Firekit!" Firekit hissed, leaping out at his father. The kit clung to his father's chest. Burningclaw hissed in shock and slight anger and gently pushed the kit off of his pelt with a paw, his ears back.
"Well, now that you've all met your father, I'd say it's time we get back." Pumpkinheart meowed, cleaning her face with a paw and sitting. She looked at Burningclaw and trotted over to him, licking his face a few times. "I'll see you soon, promise." She picked up Maplekit and Flamekit before heading back to camp.
Once back, Pumpkinheart put the two kits down, "Go on, run to Skystar. I don't really care, but if you tell her your father's name, or that he's not from LeafClan, then I can promise you that your apprenticehoods will be very, very miserable." She snarled and headed back to the nursery, Firekit and Sandkit following closely.
Maplekit sat down next to her brother, "Any cat want to play?" She called out.
