Dreamcloud barreled into Flamestar five moons later. "Guess what, Flamey namey!"

"What is it, Dreamy beany?" Flamestar laughed.

"I'm pregnant!" Dreamcloud announced.

Flamestar perked up, "Amazing! Who's kits are you expecting?"

"Yours, of course, mouse-brain!" Dreamcloud joked.

"There should be a rule in the Warrior Code that disrespects you from insulting your leader," Flamestar teased.

"Should not!" Dreamcloud cuffed his ears lightly.

"Should to!" Flamestar retorted, eyes mouthing with laughter, batting her away.

"The leader and leader's mate being like kits. So immature, and a loner for the leader and a RiverClan cat for the mate," Hawkfeather grumbled as he pushed past. 

Dreamcloud saw Flamestar's fur tense slightly.

"He doesn't mean it," she murmured.

After a moment, Flamestar relaxed and nodded.

"To answer your question, I'm having your kits!" Dreamcloud cheered.

Flamestar's eyes bore into her, "I'm having kits. I'm so proud of you. I'M A FATHER!"
