29 Moons | He/Him | Agatha Kitty
RiverClan Lionheart
Ah, that was nice. Duskleaf smiled as Irisdream mentioned getting to spend some time with Kitepaw. She seemed a delightful young cat, she would go far in life. The feeling of Irisdream’s fur against his own gave him a sense of peace and comfort. For most of his life he hadn’t really been interesting in finding a mate, now he couldn’t imagine life without Irisdream. It would just feel so…meaningless, in a way, he felt complete. His purr grew noticeably louder though his eyes opened when she thanked him for being kind to Kitepaw.
"Ah sure she’s your daughter, I don’t want her feelin’ excluded just because you have a mate now. An’ ye must be proud of her, she’s turned out well for ye havin’ to raise her on yer own for a good part of her life." He knew Wavebreaker had been Irisdream’s mate before but it must’ve been a good few moons now since he went missing, that must’ve been a good portion of Kitepaw’s life since then. It made him wonder how Irisdream would be as a mother if they did have kits. He was still too nervous to ask that though, not yet.
Taking a look back up at Owlstar, Duskleaf heard Irisdream ask about kits.
"Ah yeah kits…" He nodded, still looking up at the leader. Then the realisation hit him.
"Kits?!" …
"I…I was thinking about that five seconds ago…" He admitted. He did want kits though, that would be really nice. If there was anything he could learn from Reedclaw, it was his fathering skills. But something about the whole thing didn’t feel real. The idea of becoming a father one day, it always seemed so distant to him, now not only was it possible, but it would be in the not-so-distant future. He wasn’t sure if you could ever be ready for such a thing, but after thinking it through for a few moments, he finally answered.
"I…I’d love for us to have kits." A soft purr rose in his throat as he gently nuzzled into Irisdream’s neck.
"A-and I promise you this…if we do, I’ll make sure Kitepaw feels included as well, she may not be my daughter but I’ll never make her feel excluded."
