Squirrelflight and Ashfur

(Severe AU) What if Squirrelflight chose Ashfur instead of Brambleclaw? This is what I think might have happened if she did. It takes place around the time The Sight would have taken place.

The reason Jay, Holly, and Lion don't appear is because they were stillborn in this story.

Chapter One: The Kits
It was the end of the day. It wasn't quite nighttime yet, but it was definitely starting to get dark out.

Ashfur was in his nest, eating a mouse from the fresh-kill pile. He'd just gone on a patrol, which had tired him out.

He was falling asleep when Leafpool, the medicine cat, yelled for him.

"Ashfur!" she yowled. "Squirrelflight is kitting!"

He came running over.

"Push," Leafpool instructed.

"Ouch," whimpered Squirrelflight.

"It's ok," soothed Ashfur, trying to keep his mate calm.

A tiny she-kit was born. She had a long ginger coat.

"Lick her," ordered the medicine cat.

The warrior licked his newborn daughter to get her warm and breathing.

Squirrelflight gave birth to her second kit, a mottled grey tabby.

Leafpool shoved the kit over to Daisy. The cream queen began licking her.

Finally, Squirrelflight's third kit was born. She looked like her father, but with a bushy tail like her mother.

She opened her eyes and looked at her offspring.

"Cherrykit, Brindlekit, Mintkit."

"Oh, Squirrelflight," whispered Ashfur. "They're beautiful. I'm proud of them already."
