Mintblossom woke sleepily. She looked at her belly, trying to clean it. Great StarClan! Have I eaten a bad mouse? Either way, I'd be better go see Stormcloud. She got up and trudged to Stormcloud's den. "Stormcloud? I don't know how this happened. We aren't really mates yet, but... I think I'm going to have your kits." She mewed.

Stormcould, who was dozing on his back in the cool morning air, flipped around and stared at her in surprise.
"What?!" He flinched as he realized he had spoken a bit too loud. He didn't want any attention to this, at least not his part of it, at any cost. "Are you sure? How do you feel?" He knew she didn't need to tell anyone who the father was, so after some effort he managed to calm down and look at her normally.

"I feel okay, like I usually do at this time of day. But not great. All I know is my belly is swelling, and I had dreams. They could have been messages." She looked him in the eye and realized his scent was laced with fear. She started whispering, "You know, I could have them be raised in StormClan, if you're scared. Herbfeather could take them and say they were found. Or I could step down from deputy and just say I know nothing." She had fear herself. If she had to step down from her duties, will the whole clan be in chaos? "Now, listen carefully. Here is the first dream, that happened the night before last night: We were in a land like this clan, but different. It actually looked like we were in MoonClan. Prey was plentiful, there was a large river, and there were real living trees. You and I were mates for a few moons, and then I had your kits. After that, There was no water source on the territory. There weren't even dead trees, and we were basically dust." She shivered and waited for an answer.

Stormcloud shook his head to clear it. "It.. sounds like a warning," he said. "As if we'll get dicovered once the kits are born. If even one of them has my color, the entire clan will know they're mine." But he had never heard of his kind of fur color passing down to the kits unless the mother too had the same coat or was red.
"That can't be it," he muttered, giving Mintblossom the explanation. "If something gives us away, we'll handle it somehow." He looked at her with loving eyes, hoping everything would turn out just fine.

"I can still hunt and fight, but not for long, if kits are coming. We've lost so many..." She mewed. After that, she forgot how to speak with sadness. She felt love, too, for Stormcloud, and pride, for her kits. It was too much for her. She was miserable.

Stormcloud started to speak to her as if she was just his deputy and nothing else, in case some other cat would see or hear them.
"I can't be sure about it yet, but I think you should take it easy for a while if you are having kits. Just keep up your work as the deputy, but don't overdo it. We'll both know which it is soon." He sent her an awkward smile, strange feelings racing through his body. He wanted to raise these kits as his own, but at the same time he dreaded the thought or loosing his position and everyones trust if the secret was revealed. All he knew was that he would stand up for his family, no matter what.

"Well, in other matters, I think MoonClan needs help. StormClan is trespassing on their territory. And I know we and FeatherClan are enemies, but did you see how thin they were at the Gathering? StormClan is stealing, and it is not good. Do you think we should fight them, or do you think we should let them keep stealing? I don't know what to do! They are both risky." She sent him a loving look, and put her tail across his flank. Mintblossom didn't worry. If anything went wrong, then Herbfeather would help, and she couldn't exactly fight well, so Herbfeather would be taking care of the wounded, not fighting.

Stormcloud shook his head. "I don't know if any of them would be happy with our help. Moonclan are our allies now, but we should wait and see if they call for our aid. If not, we might not be their friends much longer. It could hurt their pride." His eyes were sad as he continued. "And I know you mean only well when you talk to Herbfeather, but the rest of the clan might see it as a betrayl. We can't give away how you know they are tresspassing, and starting a fight when we're at our weakest may husrt the clan badly."
In his eyes it seemed like the only thing to do, even though it felt wrong to let the other clans be in danger like this.
"I'll see Starclan in a quarter moon. Maybe they'll tell me something then," he said, hoping it was true. He returned the touch and looked into her pale eyes for comfort.
