After what seemed like an eternity, Dancingwind, accompanied by Darkstep, hobbled into the Medicine cat’s den and slumped to the floor. The throbbing in her shoulder and paw had not ceased, in fact it felt worse. She massaged it gently testing its strength. The blood on her torn paw began to lessen but it felt raw and tender. She clamped her jaws tight as not to betray herself a sound. Her eyes searched the gloom for a sign of Iceflower or Faifleaf. She edged next to Darkstep letting the pain disappear in his warm smile.
((She was atacked by a raccoon. Hurt her shoulder and her paw was bitten...yup just giving you a heads up. Oh and by the way shes gonna have kits! Maybe you could tell her or somthing...?)) ;D

Darkstep sat down besides Dancingwind. He passed a rozy toungue by her bloody shoulder with his eyes full of concern. "Don't worry, Iceflower will heal it" he meowed, despite his cruel personality. This day with Dancingwind seemed to be a charming one, and a one Darkstep had fogotten about his hate and only cared for the love he felt for Dancingwind.
OOC: yey, kits!!! ^-^ I'll pm dove, she's iceflower

"That looks a nasty bite, Dancingwind. What did it? I will find a remedy for the bite soon enouh." Iceflower said. After a pause, she said, "Who is the father?"

Dancingwind jerked her head up at Iceflower's question. She stared at her startled for a moment before uttering a confused mew, "...what?" Her ears twitched and she leaned close to Darkstep. What a silly question, she thought dismissively. She repeated the question over and over in her mind. But a thought kept returning that she would just refuse to believe. Could she mean...? Her eyes widened as she looked from Darkstep to Iceflower. She leaped to her feet in joy, forgetting the pain in her shoulder for the moment. "Really! Are your sure?" She pestered Iceflower breathlessly. Am I ready? She fretted silently. But forgetting all worries she began licking Darkstep burying her face in his fur. A sudden throb in her shoulder turned her away from her joy. She gazed around the den with wide green eyes.

Darkstep looked antonished at both she-cats in the den. "What...?" he gasped confused. He licked Dancingwind's muzzle back. "Beware, your shoulder" he reminded her, pressing his nose in her flank to help her rest. He glanced doubtfully at Iceflower. Could it be....? Darkstep felt amazed, anxious, but yet, glad at the thought that was running by his mind.

"Yes, Dancingwind, kits. By the look of your size, about...two or three? Anyway, your shoulder. Racoon bite. I will get something straight away."

"What...? I.....really?...when?!" Dancingwind said with a feeble mew. She stared down at her belly, and for the first time noticed it swollen almost half its normal size. She gawked in disbelief. She sat numbly next to Darkstep letting the Medicine cat dress her wounded shoulder. She could not help a rumbling prr of joy erupt from her chest. She pushed herself close to her mate, her voice shaking with joy. "Oh, Darkstep!" She mewed happily, she purred in delight and rubbed her head against his shoulder, wanting to vanish in his welcoming fur.

Faithleaf smiled at the thought of new kits in the nursery. She loved kits and was close to mating herslef. The thought peirced her heart. She was a medicine cat now and was going to do anything in her power to take care of Dancingwind's kits and dancing wnd herself. "Congrats, Dancingwind, Darkstep! What can I do to help, Iceflower?" Faithleaf asked her mentor, eager to do her job to help and learn.

"Oh, you can get the herbs for the wound. Make sure they are right!"

Dancingwind smiled and stepped towards the Medicine cats, offering her aching shoulder and torn paw. She winced as the throbbing continued and hoped the Medicine cats could take care of it. The thought of kits drove at her mind and she turned and smiled at Darkstep.

Faithleaf came back carrying the herbs in her mouth, on a leaf. "I've brought some poppy seed for the pain and some marigold for the infection. Is there anything else that I should hve brought? Some Horsetail, maybe to be extra safe for the infection. Or probably some cobwebs to stop the bleeding? Should I have brought the poppy seed, because of the kits?" Faithleaf questioned her abilites. She was trying to be safe with the kits and trying to do her best to treat the wound.

The only thing Darkstep could do was stare at the scene with antonished eyes. He couldn't believe it. Kits?! He had dreamed of having a family, a dream he wouldn't dare to reveal. But Dancingwind gave him courage, happiness, and love. He smiled at him back and madly licked her shoulder. Darkstep gave a happy glance at Iceflower and Faithleaf, but stucked his gaze in his beloved one with piercing eyes. "We're having kits!" he gasped, excitement flowing in his voice.

Faithleaf began to chew bits of the marigold. She spat the juices on the wound and cringed. The marigold tasted aweful. It woud probably sting Dancingwind's wound a bit, but the poppy seeds shoud lul her to sleep.

Dancingwind let the medicine cats to their work, wincing once or twice as the paste was spread on her raw shoulder. Her eyes rested contently on Darkstep, letting his warm eyes guide her through the most terrible of pain. The nag of the poppy seeds were still distant but she began to feel their pull. She pushed herself into her mates pelt and let out a loving purr. Her thoughts wandered back to the fight with the raccoon. He had saved her. Memories flashed before her, remembering times when they used to quarrel like to rebellious kits. She almost let out a murmur of laughter. Together they were at last, awaiting the arrival of her new kits. Anxiety gnawed at her thoughts, but through Darkstep she found courage. Her eyes filled with a deep passionate love as their gaze met.
I was listening to a song and I loved this verse! Reminded me of Darkstep and Dancingwind!
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my love doesn’t seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

Faithleaf remembered love. She loved Birdwing. He was gone. She longed for love again, for the bond that mates shared. She wanted someone to be close to and to share things with. But she promised herself to StarClan. She promised to never love another. She was loyal to her promises, for that was all that she had, all she could give.
