#### Chapter 19

When Sunripple meets with Dreamwhisper, he uneasily asks if her clanmates have asked about the father. She hesitates, her eyes clouding as she says "Well...". He stares at her and asks what it is. She admits that they think the father is Weaselnose, looking at her paws as she adds that he thinks so too.

Sunripple is quiet. He looks down, his tail drooping as he says "Oh".

Dreamwhisper murmurs sadly that she's sorry and wishes she could tell them that Sunripple is the father, but no one would approve, and her clanmates have to believe that they're pure WindClan kits.

#### Chapter 22

RiverClan goes to WindClan to help with the rogue attack. Sunripple finds Dreamwhisper dead in her nest, the kits crying.

Sunripple lets out a cry and immediately starts forward to comfort his kits, but a ginger tom pushes in the way and shoves him backwards. He hisses at him to get away from the nursery, calling him a fish face. Sunripple stumbles back in surprise and starts to defend himself when the tom repeats himself, snarling that he won't let him touch his kits.

Iceslide realizes that it must be Weaselnose, the cat that the clan thinks is the father of Dreamwhisper's kits, who he himself thinks is the father. Sunripple bristles and says "*Your* kits?" His eyes blaze with fury and he hisses at him to let him in, starting forward, but Weaselnose pushes him backwards with a furious snarl.

Sunripple snarls and steps back toward him, but Iceslide shoulders him away, quietly telling him that he can't. Sunripple says that those are his kits, his fury melting into anguish as he struggles, but Iceslide forces him back. Sunripple says his kits are crying, his voice trailing off into a cry.

Iceslide's heart aches as he tells him that it has to be this way, and that Weaselnose will take care of them. Sunripple hangs his head and leans against Iceslide, sobbing that he wishes the kits knew the truth. Iceslide murmurs that he knows and rests his tail around him, gently guiding the sobbing tom away.

### Starfaith's Fate

#### Chapter 1

It's noted that Featherblaze isn't the real mother of Starkit, Blazingkit, and Petalkit. After Dreamwhisper was killed by Bone Shred's rogues, Starkit and her siblings were taken in by Dreamwhisper's sister, Featherblaze. Their father, Weaselnose, often came to visit, however in a battle against Bone Shred's Gang at a gathering, he was killed.

Starkit notes that it isn't easy carrying on without a mother and father, neither parent would see she and her siblings become apprentices or warriors. For a while, Starkit felt alone and afraid, until Silverberry promised her that Weaselnose and Dreamwhisper were watching over her from StarClan, as well as countless other StarClan warriors. The thought comforts and fascinates Starkit. Though Featherblaze loves Starkit and her siblings as her own, it isn't the same as having their real parents here.

That night when Starkit gazes at the stars with Silverberry, she wonders which ones are Dreamwhisper and Weaselnose.

When Gladestar is about to apprentice Starkit, Blazingkit, and Petalkit, she says that Dreamwhisper and Weaselnose would be proud of them.

#### Chapter 2

Starpaw wonders if she'll see Dreamwhisper and Weaselnose on her first trip to the Moonstone.

In StarClan, Dreamwhisper tells Starpaw it's good to see her, and she's so proud of she and her littermates. Weaselnose agrees and joins Dreamwhisper, his eyes glowing. Starpaw purrs his name and touches noses with him. She gazes at her parents happily, telling them she's so happy to see them and that she's missed them so much. Dreamwhisper nuzzles her as she tells her there's nothing to miss, for they're always with her, even if she can't see them. Weaselnose adds that she'll be seeing them a lot more since she's a medicine cat, joking that she might even get tired of them. Starpaw purrs "never", and they chuckle.

When Starpaw spots Sunripple's eyes behind them, she inquires, and when Dreamwhisper doesn't respond, Weaselnose lies about it being prey, noting that there's always plenty in StarClan. Starpaw isn't sure she believes him. Dreamwhisper promises they will always be here to guide her pawsteps.

When Dewpaw asks Starpaw about her meeting, she tells him she met her parents, Dreamwhisper and Weaselnose. Dewpaw's eyes flash with sympathy as he realizes both her parents are dead.

#### Chapter 4

Starpaw notes that in each of her four visits to StarClan, she has been greeted by Dreamwhisper, Weaselnose, and Hivepelt.

Not long after Starpaw awakes in StarClan, she is called over by Dreamwhisper, who is sitting with Weaselnose by the trees watching her. She purrs and bounds over, touching noses with each of them.

Weaselnose gazes at Starpaw as he says it's good to see her, then exchanges an unreadable look with Dreamwhisper. Starpaw wonders if something is wrong. Dreamwhisper hesitates and tells her there's something she and Weaselnose have decided to share with her, adding that it may be difficult to understand, but she must know the truth.

Dreamwhisper explains that there was a time when she thought she loved Weaselnose, but once she met Sunripple, realized she was wrong. Weaselnose was a great cat and a wonderful friend, but not the cat she loved. As she speaks, Weaselnose is looking at his paws.

Dreamwhisper reveals that Weaselnose is not Starpaw's father, Sunripple is. Starpaw is speechless, staring at the three cats. She then looks at Weaselnose pleadingly and asks him to tell her it's not true.

Weaselnose meets her gaze, eyes filled with love and sorrow as he apologizes, adding that he never knew the truth until he joined StarClan. He was angry with Dreamwhisper at first, but over time, forgave her. Sunripple says he's grateful to Weaselnose for being the father he couldn't be, and Weaselnose gives him a nod. He tells Starpaw that he loves her and her siblings as though they are his own.

Starpaw tells Dewpaw how she met with Dreamwhisper and Weaselnose, and what they told her.
