I'm so very sorry to you, Firestar, and to all my Clanmates. Please know that I tried my best, and regretted what I had done with every single breath. But I couldn't regret having my kits. They are fine cats, and I will always be proud of them.

Leafpool's confession at the Gathering

Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight become parents to Lionkit, Jaykit, and Hollykit, and Leafpool dotes on her new kin. At first, she trains Hollypaw, but soon realizes Jaypaw's gifted ability and takes him as her apprentice. After the Clan recovers from a deadly greencough outbreak, Leafpool gives Jaypaw his full name, Jayfeather. When the siblings learn that Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw are not their true parents, Jayfeather puts the pieces together that Leafpool is his mother, and Leafpool tells Hollyleaf the truth herself. Once Hollyleaf reveals the secret at a Gathering, Leafpool steps down to become a warrior. Hollyleaf orders her mother to eat deathberries as repentance, but Leafpool refuses, reasoning with her.In Firestar's Quest, moons after Firestar and Sandstorm return from restoring SkyClan, Sandstorm gives birth to two kits. Leafkit is named after Leafstar, the current SkyClan leader, while her sister, Squirrelkit, is named for her bushy and squirrel-like tail. Firestar can't believe how beautiful they are and ponders how the prophecy Skywatcher ominously gave him could relate to his daughters. ​Do I still have feelings for Leafpool? But then he thought of all that had happened in the seasons they'd been apart. They led separate lives now, and the idea of being together seemed even more impossible than it had seasons ago, when they'd tried to run away. He no longer felt an ache when he imagined Leafpool without him. Now he felt only admiration, and hope that she was happy.

Leafpool gives him advice about how he should love all of his kits, including Lionblaze and Jayfeather. I don't regret having my kits. Only that I lied about being their mother. I wish I'd had more courage, but I thought I was doing the best for everyone by choosing to remain a medicine cat. […] But please don't turn Squirrelflight away. Everything she did was out of loyalty for me. I couldn't wish to have a better sister. […] If some cat must be punished for what we did, punish me, not her.
