Some Surprising News, [Tagged]

[Twix]

Silvershade hadn't been able to sleep in for once and had woken early- early enough that the sun hadn't even started to rise. Though it wouldn't be long now. The she-cat had started being tired, so tired lately. It was as if she was beginning to slow down already, even though she had just begun her warrior duties! For awhile she couldn't understand it. What was wrong with her? but finally the realization began to sat in. She couldn't deny it anymore, and finally she began to feel the wriggling of life inside her belly. Soon it would be time for her to move into the nursery, but there was something she had to do first. She had to tell her mate, Shadegorse. Today was the day to finally break the news to him. She knew it wouldn't be hard, and she honestly wondered why she waited so long to tell him, even though she knew he wouldn't regret a thing. He would be just as happy as she already was. They were going to have kits of their own, and finally their little family would be whole. The silver she-cat finally lifted herself up from her nest, her belly hanging lower than what it used to, it was a surprise that he hadn't noticed yet. He had been a lot busier than she had been lately, since she always seemed to stay in camp more while he was out patrolling and hunting. She just couldn't keep up anymore. Slowly she made her way towards his nest and gently nudged him with a paw. "Shadegorse, wake up, I need you." She whispered, doing her best not to wake up any of the other warriors that slept nearby. She hoped he would be easy to waken. Though she felt bad for waking him at all since he had actually been busy lately- while she hadn't been. Oh well, she would get over it as soon as the news was finally given. He probably wouldn't mind missing some sleep for what she was about to tell him!

A soft paw prodd his side gently. Shadegorse blinked open his eyes groggily, narrowing them against the pressing darkness, but he sprang up at the sight of his mate. "Silvershade!" He mewed, suprised. "What are you doing up this early?" He cast his gaze to the still dark entrance. "It's not dawn yet, silly!" He purred and licked her cheek. "So, why did you wake me up?" He prompted. Usually they slept toghether, but he had been feeling like the nest was a bit cramped and had decided to sleep next to her.

"Shhhh!" The silver she-cat whispered as he first woke up, right after he basically yelled out her name. Oh well, she tried. A few of the other sleeping bodies gave a few small twitches, but otherwise everyone still seemed to be asleep. That's a relief. "I couldn't sleep. Come on, lets not talk here. I don't want to wake anyone up." Without another word, Silvershade turned and made her way towards the entrance of the warriors den and made her way outside of the clearing. In all honesty she wanted to take a walk in the forest, as it would probably be the last time she would get to do anything besides being cooped up in the nursery. She didn't stop in the clearing and instead made her way straight towards the way out of camp and into the darkened forest. Though it wouldn't be for long that the sun would begin to rise. She didn't want to explain herself just yet- as to why she had woken him and was now leading him out of a camp, even though she figured that poor Shadegorse already had plenty of questions for her. Those questions would be answered soon enough.

Shadegorse followed, mystified. She led the way out of camp and through the forest, and eventually they arrived at minnow pond. Shadegorse crouched down and caught a fish, before picking it up and dropping it at Silvershades feet.

"So?" He prompted.

Silvershade graciously smiled and bent her head down to eat the fish he had caught for her after they had arrived at Minnow Pond. She didn't know why her paws had brought her here, but here was where they ended up anyways. She wasn't exactly hungry as she finished off the freshkill, but she knew it was better for her to eat than to not to. After she was done, she swiped a tongue over her lips to clean away the excess food and then found herself a comfortable spot to lay down, sprawling herself out to the point where her large stomach was almost obvious. It still surprised her that the black tom couldn't figure it out on his own. "Shadegorse.. I'm pregnant." You could see it in the way she held herself. Silvershade's eyes sparkled as she finally told him the news and a wide smile spread out across her face. It was already like she was shining, basking in the feelings the two cats would soon share. They were going to be parents.

Shadegorse's eyes widened in happiness he couldn't describe. A feeling of love washed over him and he bent down to nuzzle Silvershade. "We are going to be parents!" He whispered. "They'll be perfect!" He purred, louder and louder, and he nestled down to lay beside Silvershade. From the size of her stomach, it looked like there would be at least three. How could he have not noticed before?

Silvershade purred right along with the black tom who had laid beside her, and the two warriors nuzzled into each other below the sky. As the sun began to rise and sent light reaching out through the darkness that was night. It made the forest glow around them, the rays of the sun reflecting off the water and the dew drops on the grass. but to Silvershade, it made her feel as if the whole world was celebrating the news of her kits, and the silver she-cat shined along with it. Soon they would be parents, and their family would be complete.

[OoC: So we can wrap this up soon~]

Shadegorse nuzzled her happily. He watched a dew drop slide down a leaf, before landing on the ground. He had never seen how beautiful the world was, but now he knew, and he felt the world was celebrating his kits. Their kits. It would be their own family. Maybe they would raise many litters to come.
