chapter 20 Silversong woke up and felt dreadful. She sat up and groaned. "Are you ok? Lionstep was opening his eyes and he stared at her with concern. "I just feel a little ill is all. Lionstep got up."You should go to the medicine den just in case. Silversong sighed."Your probably right. When Silversong pushed her way out of the Warriors den The sun was shining. Silversong saw all the kits playing outside. The queens were sunning themselves in the hot sun. The wind was cold though."I think I will go see Coalkit first. She trotted over and Coakit jumped on Bramblekit. Bramblekit flung him of and Coalkit landed at Silversong's feet. "Hi Silversong."Hi Coalkit, are you playing hard?"Ya I have been trying to stay on Bramblekits shoulders. Bramblekits walked over."He almost can. Bramblekit was almost six moons and Silversong thought that Spottedstar would make Bramblekit, Brightkit and Berrykit apprentices soon. "Well play hard I need to go do something. Silversong hated leaving the kits. They were so cute and funny. Silversong pushed her way into the medicine den."Hi Silversong. Silversong saw Dawnfur shorting herbs."Where is Willowpelt?"Ow she felt sick so she wen't into the forest for fresh air,"Dawnfur said. "Ow well I was feeling very ill yesterday and today. Dawnfur looked at Silversong with concern. "Ow well let me think. Have you eaten anything? Or have you had a cough or a runny nose. Or even a slight fever?"Why no I haven't. Silversong began to feel nervous. "Hmm maybe lets see. Ok Silversong I need you to lay down on your side. Silversong did as she was told and lied on her side. Dawnfur started feeling her stomach."Is anything wrong? Silversong was curious because Dawnfur was not so serious anymore."Silversong your expecting kits! Silversong was shocked."Kits ow my well I guess it makes sense but my goodness kits."Well I am going to go tell Lionstep. Silversong pushed out of the medicine cat den and sniffed the air. Stoneclaw was looking around the clearing and he saw her standing and looking at him. She called him over with a flick of her tail."Do you know where Lionstep is,"She asked?"Ow yeah he looked nervous of something so I put him on a hunting patrol."Do you know where he wen't?"I am afraid not but I am sure you will find him. Silversong nodded and headed out of camp. It was not hard to follow his sent to the ash trees. She saw him stalk a mouse and then fast as a bullet he jumped caught it and killed it with a bite to the neck. "Nice ketch. Silversong came out of the bushes."Thanks he said purring."Lionstep I have something important to tell you she said in her most serious voice. He looked at her fear in his eyes."We are expecting kits! She saw joy fill his eyes and a loud purr rumbled in his chest."That is amazing! Lionstep rubbed his face across her jaw and both of them began to purr because soon Silversong's very own kits would be play fighting in the Nursery.
