who’s teh other parent of jessy’s kits, and does jessie stay with teh clans (until she dies in kitbirth)?
I realized my OG plan can sound kinda misogynistic. Girl shows up just to die and give Thunderclan more genetic diversity... I don't wanna kill Jessy off. (Also realizing teenage me only disliked her because I was angry that after everything Bramble put Squilf through he was willing to cheat on her with Jessy because she... Reminded him of when Squilf was younger/their "cute arguments", which was gross.)
Jessy now looks a tad different, dark brown with tabby striped legs and a tabby striped tail. Her mother is addressed as well, a pure white molly with pale pink eyes.
Yes, Jessy's mother is albino. Her name was Snowflake, and their family line has Skyclan blood.
Jessy has a mate during The Hopeless Storm, though she used to have 2, the other having recently passed away. Her current mate is named Burger (mottled dark ginger tom with heavy scarring on his right side) and he is a very nervous indoor only kitty who was taken when the family evacuated. Her other mate who passed was a molly named Teacup. She's poly.
Bramblestar and Squirrelflight are in the shaky 'early rekindling' part of their relationship, not quite fully courting. Unfortunately, the flood takes Bramblestar away from his Clanmates with Jessy, the 2 clinging onto some floating debris. While they are finding their way back, they make a nest together, and Jessy doesn't mind being Bramblestar's mate at first. She doesn't realize that Squilf is his mate already and has no idea.
But... Bramblestar is projecting a lot. Projecting the "teasing" (fighting) nature he thinks he used to have with a younger, not burnt out Squilf. He projects this fun, adventurous spirit onto Jessy. And sure, she can be fun, but her main interest right now is survival, she just looks adventurous and curious to a Clan Cat. She ends up loving Squirrelflight's company, all while Bramblestar STILL isn't telling her things. He runs from his problems and just... Doesn't acknowledge things. If I admit things are wrong, I could be wrong, I don't want to feel bad.
Jessy is the first to go home, Minty taking longer to leave. Jessy reunites with her mate, and says her goodbye to the Clan, offering Bramblestar to come with her, still wanting to see if he can be brave. She isn't stupid, she was able to put the pieces together and saw the puzzle. She is not trying to steal Bramblestar away from Squirrelflight, she is putting him through a test, the same kind he puts Squilf through.
And, predictably, as this guy is the king of avoiding his problems, he avoids this too. He tells her that he will think about it, but will make sure that his Clan is in good paws. He doesn't join her, he still holds the sentiment that being a kittypet is not a good thing, and would rather she join Thunderclan.
But Jessy loves Burger, her silly, shy husband who was very brave and ran outside to greet her, giving a nice hello to Bramblestar. Burger would not have minded Jessy being his mate... Though he might also want to be Bramblestar's mate.
Moons later, Bramblestar is told by Lilyheart and Seedfur that Jessy is on the border looking for him!
Jessy meets him on the border, at her side are 2 very young kittens. She watches him, his every move, their birth was terrible. Burger is back home with their third child, a sickly and weak son, a little pale brown tabby with Jessy's build, named Teddy. 4 days old. She knows her owners will only probably want 3 kits maximum, and wants her other stronger kits to grow up to be good, noble cats, like Squirrelflight.
She waits for Bramblestar's response, to see what he will say. The 2 kits with her are mollies, one is mottled black and ginger who will one day realize he prefers the title of tom, the other having opened her eyes, revealing them to be bright pink against her pure white fur. Staring at the exhausted Jessy, the tiny kits mewling at her paws, and all he can think to ask is...
Not "are you okay?" Or anything like that. Only the question concerning himself and something that could potentially land him in trouble with his mate, who has finally taken him back on thin ice.
Jessy keeps down a hiss of anger at him and his selfishness, and just says "I want them raised in Thunderclan." In a voice as cold as floodwaters.
As she turns to leave, leaving her children to Thunderclan's leader, she does hiss over her shoulder. "I'm fine, by the way. Burger and I are okay."
Dumbfounded, Bramblestar takes the kits to Thunderclan, naming them Mottlekit and Pink-kit. Not very creative, but he couldn't think of anything else to name the two.
Jessy does not die giving birth to her kits, but she can tell you she feels pretty burnt out. She is thankful for Burger, who cares heavily for their son and makes slow progress towards being able to sit on the porch without panicking.
So. One albino, one brown tabby (keeping in mind that Jessy is one too amd that he looks just like her) and one mottled black and ginger (keeping in mind Burger being a mottled ginger tabby). All of this equals... Jessy doesn't know. Burger doesn't know and doesn't care. They like the Clans and wanted their 2 strongest children to grow up there and make their own choices while they care for their very weak child.
If they are Bramblestar's, he doesn't claim them. If they aren't, well.... they aren't. Jessy wanted them growing up in a place where they could grow up strong and kind like other Thunderclan cats, and where she could check on them. She knows how to work her owners, they will let her keep the tiny weak kitten, especially if the other 2 "went missing".
No one knows who their other bio-parent is, maybe through cat genetics Bramblestar and Burger are BOTH fathers. But cat genes (and also the fact that cats can carry more than 1 litter) is not brought up in WCR. Teddy is okay and has 2 loving parents, Pink-kit and Mottlekit are being cared for by Ferncloud, Daisy, and Cinderheart, and are loved by the Clan.
