It's Been Awhile [Panther;;Open]

_{The broken clock is a comfort,
It helps me sleep at night
Maybe it can't stop tomorrow
From stealing all my time}

_Gingerheart

<sub>A lean ginger tabby pushed her way back into camp, her belly just beginning to show that she was expecting kits. She held her head high, proud of the kits that she would bear with Leapordmoon. She trotted over to the fresh-kill pile and picked out a vole, settling down to eat she kept her eyes focused on the warrior's den.

As she waited she thought about the kits growing inside of her. She prayed that they would have Leapordmoon's strength, and courage. She relished in the thought that they would grow to be strong warriors, even though a dark nagging feeling of dread at her kits growing to fight in deadly battles.</sub>

Leopardmoon

The tom just had woken up but he stayed in the warriors den for a bit to think. He was thinking about Gingerheart and his sister Frost-thorn. Even though Frost-throrn died of kittning, he didn't want the same thing to happen to Gingerheart. Leopardmoon put his head down and tried to push the thought away.

When he had the strength to push it away, he walked out of the warriors den and saw that she had a vole. She is just very beautiful. i'm glad I'm with her he thought. When he got to her he leaned down and nuzzled her. Hi Beautiful he said smiling.

_{And I am here still waiting
Though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best
Which you've already figured out.}

_Gingerheart

<sub>The pretty ginger she-cat let out a loud purr as Leapordmoon approached. 'Hi Beautiful," he had said. She looked up at him and sat up blinking. "Leapordmoon, I need to talk to you about something." She mewed her eyes glowing. She wondered what he would say to know that he would soon be a father. She would also have to tell Foxstar and Featherleaf, though Featherleaf probably already knew.

I wonder if he can tell, she thought to herself.</sub>

The tom looked at her and smiled. You can talk to me anytime, so what is it? he asked looking at her. Then he looked down to her stomach. Has she been gaining weight? Don't tell me she has been eating all the prey. he thought. Then he pushed the thought away and started purring. Why would she do that anyways? Wait...Only queens do that and.. he thought as his eyes went wide. Are we going to have kits? he asked her.

_{I'm falling apart
I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart
That's still beating...
In the pain there is healing,
In your name I find meaning}

_Gingerheart

<sub>The ginger she-cat twitched her ear in annoyance. She couldn't believe that Leapordmoon had guessed. Am I really showing that much? She wondered. Self-consciously she looked at her half eaten vole and glanced at her stomach. Maybe she should stop eating. Dragging her mental thoughts back into the conversation she rolled her eyes are Leapordmoon, "Well if I knew, that you had guessed I wouldn't have bothered to tell you," she harrumphed.

Gingerheart looked away from him, her eyes narrowed. She actually felt hurt that he had guessed, she really wanted to share the news with him herself. Her tail twitched against the dirt in annoyance. Could he see how upset she was? Did he even care? Gingerheart wanted his kits, she really did. With a loud sigh she mewed, "I'm sorry, it's just that I wanted so badly to surprise you. I wanted to be the one telling you that you were going to be a father. I never thought that you would guess, but yes, Leapordmoon, I'm expecting your kits."

She looked back at her mate and up into his warm eyes. She found herself dazzled by him, as dazzled as she was when he first told her that he loved her. She stood slowly and touched her nose to his muzzle, she had to tell Foxstar and Featherleaf next. She glanced at the nursery and the warriors den, and blinked. Her life was on a different path now, a path that would bring new life into ShadowClan.</sub>

When his mate had gotten out her anger, his head was down. He couldn't stand to look at her when she argue or get mad at him. Im sorry Gingerheart, it's just that females always act strange and plus they give off a different smell, not a bad one. He said trying not to get her angry again.

Then he looked up at her and smiled. We are going to be parents! he said. Deep down he was scared because he lost his mother when he was born and a different queen took him in, he didn't want this happening to Gingerheart. She ment the world to him and it would tear him to pieces if that happened.

The ginger tabby pressed her muzzle to Leapordmoon's. A loud purr rumbling in her chest. She was going to be a mother! "You'll make a wonderful father, Leapordmoon. Our kits will be so beautiful." She purred, to her mate.

She could see them now, Leapordmoon and her sitting down with four or five kits scampering around them. Their kits would be fabulous warriors, and they would have great lives. Twining her tail with Leapordmoon's, she looked around the camp wondering where everyone was.

[|♥|Panther|♥|]

The warrior purred as his mate put her muzzle to his. I bet that they will be great warriors but there is one thing that always scare me. he said looking outside. Then he looked around. Where is everyone? he thought. Then he looked back to his mate and licked her cheek. Our kits will be wonderful he thought. His eyes started to close and he drifted into a sleep.

['a v i <3]

With a purr the ginger she-cat, nudged her mate gently. "Don't fall asleep, Leopardmoon. We have to tell Foxstar, and Featherleaf. I'm surprised you're not telling the clan already..... What scares you about the kits? " She pulled away from her mate feeling suddenly nervous. What Leopardmoon not ready for kits? Was he going to leave her?

[|♥|Panther|♥|]

Leopardmoon opened his eyes. I've been out on many hunts and border patrols. he said softly. He got up and sat down so that he wouldn't fall back to sleep. It's just that I don't want to lose you, that's all. I lost my sister and mother already. he said. The memories flooded through his head, He shook his head and then looked at his mate and smiled.
