Gingerstep eyed the nursery, a bit saddened at the thought of not sleeping next to her mate. Her belly had not enlarged yet, she had learned that she was to have kits not too long ago. She had decided it would be best to move into the nursery. Yes it seemed as if all she needed was here. A nice bed of moss for herself. She would miss her warrior days, hunting and patrolling. It felt as if a new section of her life had opened wide before her. When she first learned the news...nothing but pure ecstasy lied in her heart. The ginger she-cat sighed, looking around herself once again. She would feel alone at times, but she knew she'd get over it. She just knew...Her thoughts wandered to what the kits would look like, act like, sound like. How many there'd be, what gender and what it would be like raising them with Foxfur. She felt as if she was doing good for the clan. New kits were always needed, and since there were no other queens....well it seemed only she could do the job. Her mind felt content as she viewed the den on last time. This was a nice place. She almost felt like a clan leader, getting her own section to sleep. It also seemed that queens don't have to make much effort before they kit. Apprentices and sometimes warriors would fetch food for her. She didn't have to hunt, patrol or do anything at all. That's when a sense of boredom rolled in. She'd find something to do. She'd have to. It seemed that she always could do so. Otherwise it'd seem as if she had been living a lie up until now. Gingerstep chuckled at the thought.

Foxfur padded into the Nursery. He purred at his mate, Gingerstep,"I hope you won't be lonely in here tonight." His chest was swelling with pride ever since he found out he was going to be a father. He couldn't help feeling bad about Pebblefoot, who was in love with him.. But, Foxfur knew she would understand. Pebblefoot was breaking the Warrior Code, and she knew it.

"Oh I'll find away around it." Gingerstep replied, nuzzling Foxfur's cheek with her nose. "I'm just so excited about these kits. I wonder what it'll be like when it looks like I'm pregnant. I hope I won't get fat as a kittypet." She let out a mrrow of laughter, even though every cat would think it'd be nice if they could sleep with their bellies full every night.

"I'm exited too." Foxfur replied.

Gingerstep nodded. "Has Willowstar said who's going to the gathering?" she asked. "Will you be going?"

Gingerstep awoke in the nursery, her stomach growling with a hungry discomfort. She groaned, displeased with the Gathering last night. Not because of ShadowClan sharing some of their territory, although she didn't believe that was a good choice. The she-cat regretting suspecting Foxfur of being up to something with Pebblefoot. She needed to get something to eat, and take a long walk by herself to clear her head.

Gingerstep had returned from her walk, which turned out to be a disaster. If one cat betrayed her...all of them would. She just knew it. She told herself again and again not to trust anyone. She felt stuck. No one to turn to...and especially when the kits would be born at the end of the month..

Willowstar was making her way back to her den when she passed the Nursery. "How are you feeling Gingerstep?" she asked, poking her head in. "I hope the kits will be born soon!" she purred. "ThunderClan needs more warriors and apprentices." she sighed, lost in thought, and left the den, heading back to her den above Highledge.

"Hi Gingerstep, how are you doing?" purred Silverkit.

"Oh I'm doing fine." Gingerstep replied, doing her best to smile at Silverkit. "Just a bit worried about the kits coming at the end of the month."

Gingerstep sighed. She wondered where Foxfur was. Shaking her head she tried to force herself to not care. You don't need him. she thought. You don't need him....

As time passed Gingerstep felt more sadness and loneliness as she continued to think of Foxfur. The kits would be born in just a few days and they would need their father. The queen couldn't imagine what it was like to live without a father. She had always looked up to her own. "Right then." She decided. "I'll let Foxfur into the lives of my kits but only because they need him."
