"No one will notice, even if we had our own kits, there may not be a tortoiseshell to even distinguish them as ours since our pelts are not common. We'll be fine, they'll be both of ours." Echostar meowed smiling warmly

"You don't have to talk to the other queens, and you won't have to stay in there all day. You can move around the camp during the day, it'll only be at night when you have to be in there next moon." Echostar said, "I'm sure you'll be able to handle it." He meowed soothingly licking her face.

Echostar looked at his mate as she left the camp. "I guess I better do my leader duties." He said under his breath as he stood to go do just that.

Echostar watched as Honeythistle set out patrols 'I wish I could go back to setting patrols' Echostar thought.

Echostar continued to watch the clan, his body relaxed. Everything was going the way it was supposed to, Echostar let out a sigh as he looked around once more.

Echostep laid down, on the side of the clearing under a tree, and dozed off the sun keeping his pelt warm but not overly hot.

Echostar stood quickly looking at Honeythistle. "Round up five warriors fit for battle, and then lets head out!" Echostar meowed loudly, standing tall. The weariness hidden in his features as he was determined to stay calm in this situation.

Echostar ran forward, "Take me to where the twoleg took him." Echostar meowed. Honeythistle nodded her head as she separated from the group and the group trailed behind her. Stopping quickly Honeythistle looked back "Right here, a few full grown twolegs came scooping in on smaller monsters with only two paws instead of four." Honeythislte looked around as if replaying it. "They got of them, and surprised us scooping Darkheart up quickly before fleeing." Honeythistle finished. Echostaar nodded looking around, "Let's check out the nearest twoleg nests. If he isn't in any of them then we may need to go further into the twoleg place."

Echostar started on his way, as he jumped onto one of the twoleg fences. "Darkheart" He called.

Echostar followed behind her, jumping into the nest right next to her. Seeing Darkheart, Echostar stopped. "Darkheart!" He meowed loudly getting the toms attention.

"Skypelt is right, we wouldn't our kits to go fatherless." Echostar pointed out "I'll go in and get him, you guys stay out here in case any kittypets show up." Echostar ordered, slowly slinking into the shadows of the bushes in the garden.

"I thought I said I was going in alone?" Echostar asked with a flick of his ear, talking to Hawkbreeze without looking at her.

"Okay, fine you can come. But we are just going in and out, simple." Echostar stated, getting ready to go through the window that was almost directly above them.

Jumping down inside the house Echostar crept towards Darkheart "Darkheart!" Echostar yell-whispered.

The dark tabby looked up from his grooming and saw his leader and his mate. "What are you guys doing here? You could get hurt!" Darkheart exclaimed. "We could ask you the same, lets get out of here now." Echostar meowed lowly.

Echostar jumped out, running to the bushes the rest of the patrol were laying down under the bushes. When Darkheart appeared Skypelt got up running to him "Oh my Starclan! Are you okay? Did they do anything to you?" Skypelt rushed her voice cracking every once in a while. "I'm fine." He meowed with a laugh. "Alright love birds, lets all get back to camp. We still have patrols and a gathering to attend tonight." Echostar meowed, chuckling at the now bristled tom.

The whole patrol laughed with Hawkbreeze as they walked back to camp, Darkheart grumbling as he trailed behind watching the laughing, careless cats.

Everyone settled down relaxing, as moons went on. Skypelt getting closer to her due date for her kits, as well as Hawkbreeze.

Weepingcloud heard the yowl of distress from the queens den. Knowing it was Skypelt, Weepingcloud rushed towards the queen's den with a bundle of herbs for the she-cat.
When he rushed in, his assumptions were correct. Skypelt was in the first stage of her kits birth.

Weepingcloud helped the she-cat Skypelt give birth, as two toms and a she-kit were born. The she-kit looking almost exactly like Darkheart while the two males looked like crosses of both the parents.
