Stormcloud padded into the twoleg garden when Mintblossom left. He examined the plants and flowers, all with bright colors and strong scents, not recognizing any of them. He was so busy studying these strange new things, he nearly walked past a plump mouse, lost in its own thoughts. Not giving it time to realize he was there, he pounced and killed it swiftly, picking it up just when she returned with the moss. "Great job," he meowed and looked at the tree she was pointing at. "Looks like good shelter." He picked up some of the moss and helped her carry it over to the tree, where he tried to make the nest as comfortable as possible. Then he returned and picked up his mouse, carrying it back to the nest. "Wonder if the clan is looking for us," he muttered. "I don't think they'll come this far if they don't have any tracks to follow."

"Neither do I," She mewed. "But I wonder if the clan has at least tracked us to the river yet," She meowed. She started to sleep. "I couldn't have done this without you," She meowed, "I have loved you since I laid eyes on you." She started purring. At that, she surrendered to the comfort of sleep.

Stormcloud lay awake for a while longer, watching over his mate. He wondered what another medicine cat would have done if they were in his situation. He knew this was the right desition for him and if he had chosen differently, he would have regretted it later. "Sleep tight," he purred to her, even though she'd probably be asleep by now. He settled down beside her and soon he was fast asleep too.

Mintblossom blinked drowsily at the pale light of dawn. She spotted extremely plump rabbits in a twoleg shiny thing. Not wanting to disturb her mate, she slinked out of the tree and broke through the shiny stuff. She made the kill, and thanked StarClan for her rabbit. She carried it and padded over to Stormcloud and mewed quietly, "I brought you some fresh-kill." She laid it beside him and took a few dainty bites. "Stormcloud, this place is brimming with fresh-kill! I never thought twolegs ate this sort of thing!" She meowed, knowing he was asleep.

Stormcloud woke up at the scent of prey, blinking the sleep out of his eyes to see Mintblossom sitting right by him with the plumpest rabbit he'd ever seen. "Wow! Where did you get that?" he exclaimed, taking a testing bite of it. "It's delishous!" He purred and licked his lips, then he laughed. "If we keep eating at this rate, we'll be the fattest cats in all four clans when we get back." He heard the sound of something big, most likely a twoleg, moving around inside the nest. "We better finish this and get moving again."

A quarter moon had passed. Mintblossom was looking to the stars for answers. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She let out a yowl, and the kits inside her wriggled faster than ever before. She ran over to a hollow tree and lay there in pain. "S-s-Stormcloud?" She mewed, "What is happening to me? What is happening to the kits? Is it disease? Or is it..." She paused right there and shuddered as she felt another pain.

Stormcloud was washing by their new den, a bit further down the river than their last one. Then he heard Mintblossom's distressed call and nearly lept to his paws before hurrying in the direction she had called from. "What is it? Are the kits coming?" He eyed her carefully and it was surely what it seemed like. He rested his tail one her shoulder for comfort and meowed softly. "Can you manage to walk back to the den?" He waited patiently for her reply. He wouldn't want to rush her, but it wasn't safe to stay here.

"I-I think I can," She mewed. She stumbled over to the den and let out another shudder. "I think the kits are coming." Sounding morelike a wail, she meowed, "I saw some raspberry leaves in the twoleg garden. I would fetch some myself, but..." She slumped down, already exhausted. The kits were too much for her small body. If she were to survive, she would need to have a small amount of kits. Even having 2 kits could put her life at risk. She hoped Stormcloud would understand that.

"I'll get some for you," Stormcloud purred. "Just make sure you get enough air." He turned around and hurried through the garden, trying to remain calm. He had helped many queens in his time as a medicine cat, but this was his kits and his mate. He had built up a decent pile of herbs in their den, but there were still lots of kinds he was missing. He would have to do without them, but at least he could get the leaves right now. Once he got back to Mintblossom's side, he started crushing some berries and mixing them with some chewed up herbs. Carefully he gave them to her. "Eat this. It'll keep your strenght up," he meowed, resting his tail on her shoulder.

She swallowed the leaves, and a few minutes later, a kit slid out. She licked it, but she was cut off with a gasp. There was a large kit coming, but it was stuck. She kept pushing and pushing, but it never came out. StarClan save me! "S-Stormcloud? What is wrong with this kit?" She mewed feebly. She lay her head, exhausted. The leaves wouldn't help her. She was in the paws of StarClan now.
