"Not yet" Lionpride whispered into Pollendrone's ear, as they neared the spot he had picked out. He hadn't told her much about what was going to happen, just that he had a surprise for her and that she had to be blindfolded for it even though she could probably guess where he had taken her based off of scent alone. He left her standing there for a moment to make some last moments adjustments, before joining her and wrapping his tail around hers and slipping the blind fold away from her eyes
They were at the top of the ceremony springs, the bright sun shining over head with not a cloud to be seen in the bright blue sky. They were standing on a bed of flower petals, laid out to form a cushion. Sitting before them was some of the cinnamon glazed mice that DayClan had made so popular in SunClan, a red rose, and a beautiful blue and white feather. He placed his paw onto hers smiling gently "I know last time we were here, I hurt you" he paused giving her a moment to take it all in "I thought we should give this another shot" he pressed his nose to her "But this time.. You are the one I am here for"
I'd rather be hated for who I am. Than loved for who I am not.
Pollendrone had been laying around camp when Lionpride had come to find her claiming he had a surprise and she needed to follow him, a rush of excitement had pulsed through her and of course she had agreed eagerly, allowing the tom to blindfold her and lead her. As they walked for what seemed like forever she questioned once if they had arrived yet, but his answer was no and so she let her mind wonder, thinking of all of the places he could be taking her and what exactly he had planned once they got there, she continued on like that until his voice broke through her thoughts. They had stopped and she felt as he removed the blindfold, blinking her eyes against the light that met her, once her eyes had adjusted she looked around while listening to him. This place. She instantly felt a lump form in her chest, but ignored it. Why this place. They had both been here before in the twisted illusion that Bloodystar had created, but between the two of them it was Pollendrone who had been hurt the most by what had happened, of course it wasn't Lionprides fault but being back here with the tom was causing the pain from that day to resurface. "This time..." She repeated the words, he was here for her this time, but what about next time, would he still feel the same. She couldn't help the onslaught of doubts that crowded her head, everything that had led up to this day had broken her trusting spirit and her confidence, she had grown wary of any happy moment that was bestowed to her, waiting for something to come along and destroy it. Realizing that Lionpride had finished speaking and she was just standing there silently, she turned her gaze to him blinking away the hurt in her eyes from the memory and she smiled. It was a small smile, the only one she could offer.

Lionpride had been so excited about his big reveal, he had spent hours preparing this for Pollendrone wanting to make their first date something special. But the moment the blindfold was taken off and she just stood their silently, he knew that this had been a mistake. His heart felt like dead weight in his chest, just waiting on her to say something, anything...but all he got was a forced smile
"I'm sorry" he murmured his ears falling backward, tail dropping from hers, as her discomfort became apparent "This was a bad idea, I shouldn't have brought you here..." he trailed off, his throat tightening "I just..." sadness creeping onto his face despite the joy that had been there only moments ago "I just wanted to do something to show that I care about you to...."the last words barely more than a whisper
I'd rather be hated for who I am. Than loved for who I am not.
She couldn't tell what hurt more, being back here or the sadness that had covered his features, she should have hid her emotions better, for him. As his tail fell away from her she was left with an empty feeling, wanting to close the distance between them again but unable to move her paws. "No, I'm sorry.. It was just, I wasn't expecting it." She turned and looked around, taking in everything he had done, the plush bed of flower petals beneath them, spiced mice, the rose and the feathers. It was all so beautiful and she felt bad that it hadn't been the first thing she had noticed. "Lionpride, it's wonderful. It really is." She looked back at him, and finally managed to move her paws in his direction, closing the small gap that had formed. "Please don't be sad." She whispered, burring her nose into the fur along his neck. She pushed away her own feelings, making his her top priority, something she had found herself doing often since they had been paired.

Lionpride wanted to pull her close as she buried her nose in his fur, but he couldn't bring himself to do so. Despite her words, he could tell that she was trying to force herself to be happy for his sake. He backed up, lifting her chin up with his paws so that he could look her in the eyes "Stop..." it was more of a plea than a command "I don't want you to pretend because of me. If you are sad, be sad. If you are mad, be mad. But don't do this" he released her chin, setting his paw back down on the ground
"You have already given up far to much for me Pollendrone, the last thing I want is to take away how you feel"
I'd rather be hated for who I am. Than loved for who I am not.
Pollendrone let him lift her chin, but his words sank deep. Her head lowered when he placed his aw back on the ground but she nodded, she should have known he would see through her. "It is hard being here, I know you had nothing to do with what happened but I can't shake the feeling from that day." She was speaking slow and soft, hesitant to tell him but, she didn't want to hide anything from him. "You worked so hard to do this for me.. and it is so lovely and thoughtful Lionpride." Her paws shifted on the ground below her, she didn't want to cause him to hurt further, choosing her words carefully.

Lionpride listened to her words carefully, taking in each and everyone before he spoke. He was patient, wanting to make sure that she was able to speak about how she was feeling before nodding "Then let's leave, we don't have to stay here. I brought you here because I thought it would bring you happiness, that is what matters to me" he replied honestly rising to his paws and wrapping his tail around hers "I don't really care where we go or what we do" he paused smiling, just grateful that she was finally being honest with him "I just want to see you smile"
I'd rather be hated for who I am. Than loved for who I am not.
"No." She didn't move, letting out a sigh she pressed her side against his. "I want to stay here, it is hard but avoiding it wont make it better." She let her tail curl around his with ease and smiled again, this time more genuine. "I'm happy when I am with you Lionpride, perhaps doing this will make my memories of this place happier too." She looked back at the things he had prepared and her eyes softened, she had fallen a long ways off from how she had been before all this but maybe with time she would find her way back.

"Then I am happy to oblige" he nuzzled against her neck, his heart thrumming inside his chest. He settled down on the plush nest he had made them. He knew it was still early on in her pregnancy, but based on past experiences having something soft to lay on would help take some of the pressure off of her tummy and make her more comfortable "I had Strik teach me how to make these" he pulled the mice closer to them with a smile "They taste really good, but is really easy on even upset stomachs" he used to make them a lot for his mom, even though he wasn't nearly as good at as DayClan's leader "I have a few other things I want to make for you to try to! If you like it I can always make more, and if you don't we will move onto something else" he purred, trying to push away the sadness from before and focus on just being in the moment
I'd rather be hated for who I am. Than loved for who I am not.
Pollendrone lowered herself down beside him, poking at the flower petals with a gentle paw before looking at the mice he puled toward them. "What's in them?" She asked, sniffing at one of them, she knew nothing about herbs and spices so while she could detect the foreign scent she did not know its name, she did like the way it smelt though. "Were they hard to make?" She looked up at him curiously, she wasn't sure how exactly she felt having him go through such lengths for her but he seemed happy to do it so she wouldn't comment on that.

"It took some time to gather all the ingredients and make, but luckily SunClan always has an abundance of herbs stored away so its mostly just time" he smiled watching the sunflowers in the distant field as they waved back and forth "You mix honey and cinnamon until you can really smell the spice. Then you drizzle it onto the mouse and place it onto a warm stone until it heats up and is warm, then you roll it over and drizzle some more onto it, until he mouse is well coated. Then you add a sprinkle of Aspen tree bark and a little bit of chamomile" he watched, curious to see if she would like it "Its all just some simple ingredients to make it taste sweet, and has a soothing effect on your mind and your body"
I'd rather be hated for who I am. Than loved for who I am not.
She listened as he listed the ingredients and how he had put them together, her eyes round with awe. "Well they smell amazing, I'm sure they taste even better." She purred lowering her head to take a bite, she let it sit in her mouth for a moment before chewing it slowly, all the flavors coating her tongue. Her eyes lit up and she looked at Lionpride, nodding. "So good!" She nudged the mouse closer to him so he could eat as well. "Dayclan sure does have a way of doing things, I never would have thought to add this stuff to food."

Lionpride erupted into a flurry of purrs, his claws kneading the soft petals before taking a bite of his own "I'm glad that you like it" after so many moons of being stuck in prison with nothing but scraps he wanted to be able to make her meals like this as much as possible To be able to see her smile like that at every meal "I thought it was kind of silly at first, but seeing someone enjoy something that you make with you own paws makes it all worth it"
Pollendrone smiled and looked at the tom for a moment before turning her gaze forward to look off into the distance, she knew the future was unsure but she had grown to accept the happy moments as they came, not knowing when they would be gone. "I'd like to learn how to do this, if you wouldnt mind teaching me of course." She wanted to be able to do things like this for him too, special things that would make him happy.
She let a silence fall over them, leaning her head so it rested on his shoulder. "I wish we could stay like this forever, never lose this feeling of peace." Her voice was a whisper, almost soft enough to not be heard. She still couldn't believe that they would have a family soon and even now in the early stages of her pregnancy she couldn't help imagining what their children would be like, picturing them running around as she and Lionpride watched on proudly.

"It would be an honor to teach you" he gently leaned into her, as she placed her head on his shoulder just enjoying the warmth of her body against his. It had been so long since he had just allowed himself to relax and just be in the moment. To not worry about what came next, or the consequences "I do to... but not all chaos is bad" When she spoke, he couldn't help but smile as he gently pressed his nose to her rounded belly. She was hardly showing, but that didn't change his excitement for the litter she was carrying. When he spoke next it was quiet and gentle, words meant for the kits"In fact I'm looking forward to the chaos you little ones will bring" a deep purr rumbled in his throat, before gazing back up at Pollendrone "I only hope they are happy and healthy, with a mother as caring and strong as you everything else will fall into place"
She looked down at him, his nose nuzzled against her belly and let out an soft purr at his words. "I hope that too." A small wave of panic rushed through her though, despite feeling at ease she couldn't help worrying about what may happen when they were born. She didnt want them to know the world as it was now, under Bloddystars rule. "We will protect them." She whispered half to herself, the High Priest wouldnt touch these kits, they would grow up knowing the truth even if it killed her. Of course she didnt tell Lionpride that, he would probably worry too much if he thought she would put herself in danger like that. Shaking herself from the dark thoughts she began to move some of the flower petals around, placing them in a line. "How many do you think there will be? It seems everyone in your family has larger litters." She smiled, looking down at the four petals she had arranged in front of them

He watched a she lined the petals up in a line, four. He gently moved two more into the line that she had created "It's hard to know this early on" he chuckled "but you are right, my family does tend to have large litters...along with the fertility herbs..." he hesitated before moving two more petals into the line or a total of eight "It wouldn't be surprising if you had enough to fill the nursery on your own" he joked. He was really excited at the prospect, but in the back of his mind her couldn't quite shake the fear that lingered there... The fear that by getting her pregnant would be slowly killing her as they grew... The fear that when the time came, she wouldn't make it through the kitting.
"Eight?" The pitch of her voice raised, and she let out a squeak, that was a jump up from four and even that number had been a bit intimidating for the first time mother to be. "I suppose that does make more sense... I'm kind of scared Lionpride." She looked at him with a weak smile, it was a strange mixture of feeling, yes she was scared but she was also excited, the swirling of feeling was making her feel a bit nauseas.

He placed his paws onto hers "Its ok to be scared..." He paused smiling slightly as he looked into her eyes "I'm scared to... I'm afraid something will happen to you, and that it will be my fault. I'm afraid of them being born into this mess Bloodystar has created. I'm afraid of a lot of things..." he paused letting the silence linger in the air for a few moments
"But my mother once told me something... She said that you can only be brave when you are afraid. At the time I didn't understand, but I think I do now. Fear on its own is healthy and natural, what matters is how we handle it. In my case, I want my to drive me to become a better father and husband to you"
Pollendrones smile returned and she nodded, it felt good knowing she was not alone and that there was someone who shared her feelings. "Your mother is a very smart she-cat, you are very much like her." She really did see a lot of Littlestar in Lionpride, not just his appearance but his strength and loyalty, his drive to keep going and protect those he loved. "You don't need to worry about being a better husband because you are already amazing, and I know you will be an amazing father to our kits too." She let her gaze wonder around them and then looked up at the sky and closed her eyes, it was a habit she had picked up and began doing when she was under the open sky. "Would you like to go for a walk?" She asked, head still tilted upward.
