Love-of-her-life's child.
"Sister Tourmaline's mother, I remember her... vaguely, apparently she and Seraphine were quite close prior to my... mh, arrival."
While never officially together, they were the closest two cats could be to mates without actually saying anything about it. Rowena regrets how tense their last few moons together were and wishes she'd handled things differnetly.
In Seraphine's eyes, they were-- for all intents and purposes --mates. While it'd never been said aloud, she didn't think it needed to be. To her, the acknowledgment of love between them and the fact that they raised kits together was enough in her mind.
