Since the moment Fallingleaves had told him he was going to be a father, it hadn't quite sunk in until she'd told him that she was expecting soon.
They hadn't quite settled on where the kits would stay, but Pumpkinking wanted to make sure he had something to give them when they were born.
And also he had to admit there was a little twitch of excitement, he was going to be a father!
He didn't have the foggiest idea how to be one but it was exciting!
But he needed a gift for Fallingleaves and their kits.
"Honeycream! Goldengriffon! Zengarden! I'm going to be a father!" He said excitedly as he went over to the three toms who had recently fathered litters and Zengarden who was currently waiting on his to be born.

Goldengriffon had looked up from where he was trying to pry Softkit away from his tail, which was already growing a decent sized bald spot right near the tip. The deputy had his daughter held back with a gentle paw against her head as she tried desperately to get back to his tail.
“Pumpkinking?” He cooed, twitching his ears. “Oh...! Well that’s wonderful news congratulations...!”
“Dad...! You never gave us gifts!” Softkit meowed, suddenly very offended that she missed out on this apparent gift exchange between father and children.
Zengarden wasn't used to being lumped together with a cluster of his clanmates, let alone the other fathers. He saw them in passing as he came or left the nursery to check on Septariadragon, but he had yet to actually interact with them. The grey tom on any day was calm and quiet, but especially now, he found himself only purring an amused laugh toward Pumpkinking's excitement.
"Nothing is more cherished than the presence and love of a father. Just be there for your kits and ensure they have the best childhood they can." The tom glanced over where he saw the tip of a white tail disappear into the medicine den. "Play with them as much as you have time to. Make time for them."
He looked at Pumpkinking. "Or bring them the biggest moss ball you can find."

Blackberry was no father, in fact, he wasn't even in the running. The bachelor had bitter luck with the she-cats romantically, but that didn't mean he wasn't around them, in fact he found himself running more errands for the queens than anyone else in the camp. Not that he minded. And overhearing the beginning of a fun conversation, he invited himself in, in good ol' southern fashion. "What you need is a big ol' bird, somethin' plump and full'of feathers," he interjected, a smile on the large toms face.
Pumpkinking nodded along. "Right, right." He said humming as he did his best to internalize the items they were recommending for him. "So a moss ball, a big plump bird, make sure to take time to play with them."
He glanced over at Goldengriffon and the indignant Softkit, "Make sure to not set unrealistic expectations of one's self."
"Anything else? I simply want to give them the best of the best. I'll be meeting them for the first time very soon, and oh! I should get something for Fallingleaves too," He mused. "What should I give the cat who's having my kits?" He asked. "Is there a standard gift, that says 'Hooray! You've given me kits?' or something that inspires that sort of vibe?"
Zengarden laughed, though it was a soft little thing, but to those who knew him, it might as well have been an all out guffaw. "Make sure she's not doing the load of the work with your kits, Pumpkinking. She's got a lot of work ahead of her, she doesn't need extra on top of it. Hunt for her and the clan, do your best by her and the clan. Let her know you're always there to support her, in whichever way she needs." He hummed, lifting his chin and gazing at the skies with an amused lilt to his lips. "It also wouldn't hurt to bring her some non-toxic flowers or a piece of juicy prey to give your thanks. It's a blessing for the both of you, though, so the best I can suggest is just being there and remembering you guys are a family now. Tied together for life. There's no better gift."
Pumpkinking blinked, "The load of work... well she is carrying them." He mumbled frowning softly.
He nodded along to what Zengarden was saying. "Of course, hunt for her, bring her presents, be good to her." He paused when Zengarden mentioned her and the clan.
Her and the clan...
"Hmm," He hummed tilting his head. "Do good for her and the clan." He murmured.
A bit of a conundrum given that Fallingleaves was in DayClan and he in SpringClan.
Sourkit stomped his foot, waddling over to where the adult cats were talking and looking up at his own father with an outstretched paw "Present for me?" he blinked with wide watering eyes.It looked adorable, but to those that knew him well, the sweetness wouldn't last. At least not if he wasn't given what he was asking for....
(Nova Looks like Goldengriffon has kits that want presents XP)
Pumpkinking glanced over as Sourkit toddled over, looking at Sourkit and then at the kits sister. So small. So innocent. So precious. It made him wonder what his and Fallingleaves kits would look like. How many would they have? Would some look like him? Or would they all be tiny little Fallingleaves lookalikes? That'd be adorable. Or would they be a mix of the too? That'd also be adorable!
Oh he couldnt' wait to meet them!
'I just need to make sure I have a good gift to make up for missing our last meeting!' He thought the next meeting he'd present her with a lovely gift and it'd make it all right that he'd messed up last time.
Zengarden watched the kitten with amusement sparking in his eyes, chuckling softly. Sourkit was a handful, that much he could see plain as day, but even so, the kitten was loved, not just by his parents or siblings but by the clan as a whole. The tom stood and offered a nod to Pumpkinking. "Now that I've given you my take, I'll bid you farewell."
The tom turned to walk away, but faltered a moment, "if you need help finding a gift, you know where to find me."
The tom lowered his head and padded away, inwardly appalled at how difficult it was to simply offer his assistance to Pumpkinking. Then again... things weren't exactly going very well for the tom, not that he'd let anyone know that.
"Thanks Zengarden!" Pumpkinking said waving his tail before turning to the others. "Any other things you have to suggest for me, else I think I'll go start hunting for some gifts." He said. "You all had such good suggestions." He added.
This would surely help ease whatever irritation Fallingleaves was likely feeling towards him.
