Snowbush interrupts her thought process and tells her to eat the mouse. She is anxious, frantically pondering if she was a good mother. She remembers how when they discovered the truth of their parentage, it took a long time for them to forgive her or Leafpool. In turn, that leads to her thinking about her foster litter: Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf. Squirrelflight reflects on how hungry and how much pain she is. She feels guilty about taking more than her fair share. Squirrelflight is hungry and wants to eat it, but she realizes that all of ThunderClan is hungry because it's leaf bare. Berrynose pushes it toward her and tells her to eat. Cherryfall beckons her over and offers her a mouse. Squirrelflight heads to the fresh-kill pile, and sees Cherryfall sharing a vole with Berrynose and Snowbush. With a lot of effort, Squirrelflight leaves the den to see her Clanmates going to and fro with the days' patrols. But as the days passed, Squirrelflight's excitement faded as nervousness took over her, weighing her down so it took a massive amount of effort to do anything. She remembers her sensations of excitement and joy, completely outweighing any feelings of nervousness. Since she is in pain, she rests in her den and reflects on her first reactions to finding out about her expecting kits.

Her sister, Leafpool, and her foster son, Jayfeather, the Clan's medicine cats, had been trying to persuade her to move into the nursery. She feels guilty about sleeping in and missing her duties, but she can't help it because she's a queen expecting kits.
