MISTFLOWER queen of thistleclan Mistflower was tired. Physically, emotionally, mentally. But the sadness that ate at her heart had lessened after her walk with Smokestorm. It had been a difficult conversation, but one that needed to be had. And although the pain of the loss was still strong, Mistflower hoped it would lessen with time. Arriving back at the nursery where Lilypad had been left to watch the kits, Mistflower smiled. "I'll be right behind you," she whispered to Smokestorm, her head gently nodding to Lilypad to indicate her intention to spend some time with her sister. She motioned Rainkit and Cloudkit along after their father, her voice making promises to be with them soon. When their rambunctious forms had left the den, Mistflower turned and smiled at her sister.
"Thank you, for watching them. I hope they weren't to much trouble," Even if they had been, Mistflower knew that Lilypad was experienced have raised her own brood of kittens. They are all warriors now. Mistflower mused. It seemed said that her and her sister's kits would not get to train together. But hopefully there would be future opportunities for them to bond.
Mistflower sat next to Lilypad. "It's been a while since we got to just talk so I thought maybe this would be a good time. So..." Mistflower gave a small smile. "Hi Lilypad, how are you doing?" Mistflower wanted to focus on her sister. Her answer to that simple question was not so simple, and it would be best to focus on someone who was not struggling like Mistflower was. |

When Smokestorm came to her, asking to kit-sit, Lilypad jumped at the opportunity. Any chance she got to spend time with her niece and nephew she would take in a heartbeat. As she watched them, they reminded her of her own kits when they were that age. Both were warriors now. She looked at both fondly, wanting to take in these moments cause she knew that time would fly and before any cat knew it, they would be apprentices soon and warriors. As she watched them, her heart started to ache. There was supposed to be a third kit.... It was her sisters first litter, stuff like that happens even to the most experienced mother.... But she could tell how much it affected her.
Lilypad gave Smokestorm a smile as she left the nursery, turning back long enough to say bye to the kits and to tell them to be good. Not that they needed to hear that part, they behaved very well for their age. Didn't cause any troubles for her. And if they did, she wouldn't of minded. She turned her head to look at Mistflower and wondered how their walk went. She wouldn't press her for details, but she could tell that it still weighed on her. She draped her tail over her sisters back.
"You gave birth to two very fine kits Mistflower. Makes me wish mine were still that young." She let out a soft sigh. "If I could go back in time and relive their times as kits I would over and over again." She pressed her shoulder against her sisters, she gave her sisters cheek a lick. "Hi Mistflower, I'm doing just fine." She gave her sister another lick on the ear. "If only our brother was here to see them." 297 | she knows... and its ok | moony, |

MISTFLOWER queen of thistleclan The praise from Lilypad threatened to send Mistflower to tears once again. But the silver she-cat managed to restrain herself, giving a small smile of comfort to her sister instead. "I'm glad you like them." I'm glad they will have an aunt around. Mistflower felt Lilypad's tail circle her. A gesture of a comforting mother. I never knew our mother. Mistflower thought. It was eerie how similar her situation seemed to be compared to when she was born. Her mother had grown ill, and she died leaving Mistflower alone to be cared for by her father and elder siblings. Please, don't let my kits experience life without a mother. Mistflower had to get better. She just had to. But a quiet voice whispered You never will. She shut her ears to the sound.
"Cloudstep?" Mistflower smiled again. It was a sad smile. "Yeah, he would have loved playing with them." Mistflower imagined her brother playing with her gets and she wondered if he would have been around even then. He was in love with that LichenClanner. I wonder if he would have gone to be with her. They could have had kits together. They could have - The could haves began to spiral in Mistflower's mind. She quickly changed the subject. "How have you and Maplebranch been?" Mistflower wondered about her sister's relationship. Were Lilypad and Maplebranch in love? Or did they merely form a relationship from duty? |

Lilypad sat like that for a bit, her tail wrapped around her sister. It reminded her of the time they spent together when she was young. When things was easier, not as many responsibilities. The days of training to be warriors and looking after their now elderly father after losing his mate. Those days she would always look back on fondly. Cause it was proof that no matter what hit them in their life they would be there for each other. That they would always come back together as a family and be stronger for it.
Sitting there she could tell there was something deeply bothering Mistflower but Lilypad didn't want to bring it up. She could tell whatever it was it was deeply troubling her. Lilypad didn't want to pry, she would wait and see if her sister brought it up on her own. But at the same time she wanted her to just come out and say it, get it off her chest. It was very conflicting.... So instead Lilypad thought of a new topic to talk about but Mistflower instead provided one herself.
"We've been just fine. The boys have been keeping us busy as of late but thats normal for first time moms." It was an interesting change of topic. "He's been doing more and more everyday so I can stay in camp and look after them. I know they are too old for mom to look after them but I still like to." Her gaze fell on the apprentice den. "Yours will be there soon before you know it." She leaned over and rested her head on her sisters, their cheeks touching.
"How is Smokestorm handling being a father?" She was curious how her sisters mate was doing as well. He was family after all now. "If he needs any tips he is more then welcome to ask Maplebranch for advice." It just felt like the normal thing to say, one new dad helping another. "Or Yewthorn could give him some pointers.... Hes a pretty seasoned father by now after all these litters Morningmist and him have had together."
