White being the sire to Willow’s second litter got me thinking- why didn’t she ask him the same when she had Cinder and Swift?
Aaand another thing- we’ve heard of how Soot and Rain would’ve gotten on with White and Blue, but what about Swift? Know they wouldn’t exactly exist if Swift was still alive, but in a hypothetical both Swift and the brothers could exist without Willow getting a little side-eye for two litters
Willowpelt found a loner first when it came to Cinderpelt and Swifttail, which was quick and convenient. After she started thinking about a second litter, Goldenflower suggested staying in the Clans this time, given the quickly diminishing population, so she went to Whitecloud. There wasn't too much thought on her end for the first litter, given the father was a nobody. The second pregnancy was more sentimental to her, and it pains her that Whitecloud didn't get to meet his children. She understands the appeal of your litter's father being around and active in their lives now.
Swifttail would have been bullied (affectionately) by Rainkit and Sootkit. They know a good target when they see one. Swifttail would have loved them, but good GOD are they little hellions.
