The Aftermath

12 moons after the Great Battle, the Clan was running fairly well. Bramblestar looked down at his Clan. It still felt funny to think that it was his Clan now, not Firestar's. His deputy, Squirrelflight, walked, yawning, out of Bramblestar's room. She walked over to him.

" 'Morning!" she said, pecking him on the cheek. I laughed.

"Hey," I said, not taking my eyes off the Clan. I was worried, worried that they would come back. Squirrelflight sighed.

"What's up?" she looked at me.

"Hm? Oh, nothing," she raised an eyebrow.

"There's obviously something going on," she puched him on the arm. " I know you inside and out. Now what's wrong!"

"Nothing! Nothing, I'm just scared that the Dark Forest is going to attack us again."

"Why would they? Tigerstar is dead, they have no leader," she said looking up at me with wide emerald eyes.

"I know that! But I'm still worried!" She embraced me in a hug, and rubbed my back.

"Shh, it's gonna be okay! They're not gonna attack us again. We won't let them!" she said. I kissed the top of her head.

"I know. Now go organize patrols," I said with a laugh. She smirked at me and rolled her eyes.

"Fine," she giggled. I watched as she leaped down from the Highrock. I laughed, she was crazy.

(Squirrelflight's POV)

I finished organizing the patrols, then walked over to Jayfeather's den.

"Jayfeather?" I called to him. He grunted a reply.

"Can I talk to you?" I said.

"Sure."

"I think I'm pregnant." I told him.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"I haven't had my period in two months, and I feel something moving inside of me. I think."

"Ok. Come here." He beckoned me over to him. And handed me a small box. I looked at it. It was a pregnancy test.

"Just pee on it and then wait for the minus or plus." he told. I nodded.

"Thanks Jayfeather!" I said.

I paced around the small bathroom, waiting for my results. Leafpool was in with me.

"Should it be done by now?" I asked. She shrugged, then told me to check. I took a deep breath, and grabbed the small stick. I screamed when I saw the results.

"It's positive! It's positive!" I yelled, jumping up and down, giggling. I stopped and gasped.

"I have to tell Bramblestar!" I kissed Leafpool on the cheek before bolting out of the bathroom.

(Bramblestar's POV)

I walked back into camp after my border patrol. I nodded to my patrol. Then walked up to my room, looking for my Squirrelflight. There she was, sitting on our bed. Happy as could be. She looked up as I sat beside her. She was holding something. A tear slid down her flawless face.

"What's wrong?" I asked, worried.

"Nothing! I just have to tell you that... I'm pregnant." Shock flooded me. Then happiness. I laughed and picked her up.

"Hahaha really?" I said. She nodded. I set her down. And looked over her, grinning. Before embracing her into a hug. Someone called her name, and she pulled away from me.

"Coming!" she yelled back to them. She gave me a quick kiss then ran out.

"Don't work yourself to hard!" I told her. I sat down on my bed. I'm gonna be a father. Wow. I thought, smiling. At this moment, right now. I couldn't have been happier.

(6 months Later. Squirrelflight's POV)

I looked down at my stomach. I was showing, like alot! I felt arms wrap around me and looked up to se Bramblestar.

"Hey!" I said laughing.

"Hi," he said back. I had moved into the nursery about two months ago. Bramblestar stayed with me. It felt empty without Ferncloud there. I sighed as I thought about my fallen Clanmates. Poor Leafpool still couldn't let go. She had lost her daughter and her father. And I lost my neice. The battle against the Dark Forest was long, and hard. But I couldn't think about that now. Today is the day I find out what I'm having.
