I reached the foaling fields. I had seperated myself from most by wadding through a small stream. It still wasn't time, but I was still tired. Sighing, I lowered myself below an apple tree with hardly any apples. Figures.... Watching around I can finally see the amount of bulk I had put on. No, immense. I look like some fat brown, black, and white round blob with stick legs. Shacking my head, I still try to think of what to say to Echelon that these aren't his children, but rather a rouge stallion's. I don't want to tell him, but when they come out black and all our colors and not his will be pretty hard to cover up.
Resting my eyes and placing my head on the tree, I only hope Echelon won't come; though, I know he will. I cannot rest. Not with this. I just wish I could have died right now. I really do. I can't go through it and break his heart again. No. It ruined us before and it'll ruin us again. My ears perk forward though as I hear a rustle in the bushes. I snort, trying to depict of what it is. Eventually a small blakc rabbit hops out and runs away. I have a feeling that's a bad omen. My eyes close shut as I feel this rapid liquid come from my legs. I knew it was going to start to get bad in a few minutes since it was only dull pain at the moment, but still it hurts to even think about the pain that is coming soon....

It took me a while to find Calla, having left afterwords and her seeming to wind her way through the foaling field. Splashing through the stream, I looked around for the vixen. She wasn't exactly hard to find, her large body easily visible underneath the apple tree. Standing at I distance, I was able to watch her without interfering, and from a distance I could see further around her to make sure no one was to come and harm her. Ears pricked forward curiously, I guess I arrived a little early...

I watched as Echelon came into the feilds. I turned my head away and slowly lifted myself onto my legs. The pain started to settle in, but I had to get away from him. I Just as I moved a few feet away did I collaspe. Two hooves purtruding already. At least I was in the shade though. I hit something hard against my head, the tree trunk; and everything went utterly black from there....
My eyes open wide to the pain that came surging through my entire body. It must have been only a few minutes. I confused though and half out of it. I began to lift my body up as I felt something slip from me and plop onto the ground. But I still fell to the ground a few feet away from the life outside of me. My hooves began to dig through the ground as my teeth thrash and tear at the grass angrily. Again I tried to lift myself to get away from Echy, but half way up I fell back to the ground. Clearly someone did not want me to leave.
But opened my eyes after a few minutes when I did not feel any movement. Glancing I could see only half a foal out and it was clearly moving part of it's head. I screamed out in pain as I could feel it squirm inside of me. Again my eyes closed as I tried to force the foal out of my gut, but it did not want to leave it seemed. I rolled over and in the midst felt it slip from me. The pain was over, but I tired beyond belief. I felt dead on the inside and did not even attempt to look at the foals. No, I was good as dead in Echelon's eyes. I dunno how the second foal did with having complications, but maybe it died. I didn't though for I could feel it's small hooves moving and hitting my rump softly. The foal would have to wait. I needed my rest.... I needed a miracle that somehow these were Echelon's foals...

I flipped my ears back helplessly as she tried to get away from me, watching her giving birth at the same time. I winced as I watched her collapsed, until not one, but two foals were behind her. Carefully coming up to the two, I sniffed one of them that looked a bit like me, yep. Smell's like mine. Looking over to a second foal, my ears pinned back at his dark coloring, I prayed it was just taking after Calla's appearance. But as I sniffed the foal, I pulled my dome away angrily. It was not my daughter, no sign of my blood ran through her veins. Glancing back and forth between the filly and Calla, I gulped. I didn't want her to feel guilty having to raise another stranger's foal. "I'm sorry..." I whispered to the filly, not loud enough for Calla to hear. Making sure my Queen was still resting and looking away, I raised a hoof before bringing it harshly down on her skull, stopping all movement from the newborn. I had a feeling I'd regret ending her life for practically no reason, but I didn't want my love to raise some rogue's foal again. Moving around to Calla's side, I nuzzled her boa. "Congrats, love. You had twins, unfortunately...Only one made it." It was a cold blooded lie for the most part, but I couldn't tell her 'hey, you had that stranger's foal and I killed it for you. Now let's go home and raise our son.'

My ears twinge as I hear his words. Only one survive? But was it Echelon's? Closing myself, I heave my bodice to the side as I look back. The colt is definatly Echelon's since he had a rich coloring of his coat. The other was like the rouges and mine. Looking at her, I thought I had probably kicked her or something had happened inside of me. Looking away, I turned to the colt. I grin at him. Looking up to Echy, I nuzzled him loveingly before turning my attention back to the colt. I began to lick him, mainly his face so that I could see his handsome features. When I was content that I had gotten his face clened enough, I lifted myself onto my pillars. Turning down to the colt, I nudged him to do the same thing as I if he wished to feed his hunger. Looking back to Echy I nickered softly as I brushed my head against him. "What to call him?"I asked.

I grinned as she began to clean my son, lowering my muzzle to take a good look at him. He did look quite a bit like me, with signs of Calla like his white spots. My grin wouldn't leave my face as she stood beside me, it seemed she was actually happy at last. A name? Great, not exactly my strong point. Looking back down at our son while I waited for him to rise, I gave a sigh. "Hmmm... You know Calla, I don't really know... How about you decide?" I chuckled, flicking my tail against my flank.

I rolled my eyes and snorted as Echelon handed the job of naming him to me. Figures a stallion wouldn't have a name for his son. Looking down to the ball of dark fire, I knew he would take his colouring after Echy. Already I saw part of me in him as he stood up on his legs firmly with no hassels, as if he had doen it before. Smiling I tried to nudge him to come to me, but he seemed more into his father. I watched as he snorted at his father while sizing himself up to him as if he were no match. With a smug look on his kissers, I saw as he tried to nip out at his father. I smirked as I nuzzled him towards me. "He's gonna be Hellfire," I said. Slowly I watched as Hellfire moved away from his father and towards my belly. I winced as he bit down hard. Looking down to him, I could see him look back to me with a glare before suckling softly. Rolling my eyes, I turned back to Echy. "He's gonna be just like me."

I smirked as he came up to me, trying to nip at me with his fiesty attitude. Even with his attitude, I will not shun him like my parents had done to me. "Yep, your your mother's son alright..." I chucked, flicking my tail as I continued to watch him. What is it with foals and their fascination with me? Maybe my coloring, that could be it... I gave a nod to Calla, indeed he would be just like her. "I've noticed." I say sarcastically, lowering my muzzle to tug teasingly at his tail. "Hellfire seems like a perfect name."

I heard them talking over me. I felt a tug on my tail and spun around with my mouth full of thsi tasty stuff. I looked up at dad and sprayed the milk at him with a bit of attitude on my face. Snorting, I pawed the ground. Such Mr. Big Stuff he acted. And look at his coloring is off! Eyeing him, I reared up before bumping into Ma and falling back down to my hooves. I tossed my head, acting like a bull. If he wants a go, he'll get a go, Mr. Strange Colors. "Bring it!" I said, but I tilt my head. My voice is deep like father's. No, it sounds high like it is in helium. Strange. Grunting, I'll just watch him...
I chuckle as our son is trying to pic a fight his first day with his father. That's me as a foal. Looking to Echy, I nuzzle him. "We'd best be going. Someone will find the filly...." I said as I started to move towards Riduna.

"Hey, save your strength stallion. You'll need it for the swim." I smirked, messing up his tuffy forelock with my muzzle. Hehehe, it was fun being a dad. Or at least funny to watch and listen to my son. One ear flicked back towards Calla to listen to what she said. A rush of guilt came over me, but I wouldn't let her know as I kept a playful smirk towards Hellfire. I gave a nod, understanding that now anyone could sniff out the filly now. Nudging Hellfire in the direction of Riduna, I followed after Calla.
