 Frosta stood at the small mound in front of the mountains, revealing in the upcoming cold months and the weather that is to come with the winter. There is a feeling deep inside her heart that is trying to tell her something but she seems can't to figure out what her conscience or heart is trying to tell her. She heard from her familiar that someone is on their way to see her but he didn't mention who is coming. The dark blue mare's eyes moves all around the environment, wondering about who is coming to visit her or perhaps ask her for the advice.
Frosta sighs lightly as she stood there and began to think about alot of experiences she have along with stories she learned along the way. Now she is standing on the mound behind the giant mountains she call as her own home, proud and wise. A flicker of yellow and rainbow mane caught her eyes and she smiles when she knows that its one of her old friends, Tic Tac Toe.

 Oh boy.. oh boy.. oh boy...
Tic Tac Toe just discovered that she is pregnant with Zaribe's children and she is scared right out of her mind about it. She is not sure how Zaribe will react to the news of her being pregnant and he is not here because he was looking for his gift or his sister. The first thing that came to her mind the second she saw her swollen stomach is that she need to seek out Frosta because she had two batches of babies. So she took off from the clearing where she was waiting for Zaribe for the mountains where she know for sure that Frosta will still be there since Frosta is part of the mountains.
After one or two moons of walking/running, Tic finally arrived with a panicked look on her face. "Frosta.. thank god you are here!" She exclaims as she sees her old yet best friend standing on the mound in front of the mountains. "I need some help.. desperately!" She trots up toward Frosta.

Frosta thought it was just another visit from Tic to catch up with each other on whats going on in each other's lives. But one look from Tic's panicked face and the swollen stomach verified the reason why Tic is over here in a such a hurry. A pleasant smile appears on her face as she walks half way to meet up with Tic so the new mother doesn't have to expend more energy than necessary. "Help with what, Tic?" Frosta says gently as she nips at her friend's mane before she says in a light teasing voice, "I am sure the swollen stomach of yours is not from eating too much.."

Tic laughed nervously as Frosta teased her about the swollen stomach before she looks at her friend with a troubled look on her face. "My pregnancy.. I just discovered that I am carrying Zaribe's offspring and I have no clues to what to do during this and when they come.. I will be lost because this is my first time with being a mother.. ever." Her voice quivered as she looks at Frosta with tear-filled orangish red eyes.
"What if Zaribe leaves me? what if I am a terrible mother and my offspring dies? I-I don't know what to do.. please help me.. please tell me what to do." Tic looks at Frosta with a pleading look on her face as a small lump appears and disappears on side of her stomach. A slight smile appears on her face as she looks at Frosta because she knew that its her babies letting her know that they are still alive and kicking.

Frosta smiles in understanding manner as she looks at the new mother before she nudges Tic toward the small creek. "First of all, you need to take care of your offspring.. and.." She nods toward the creek. "I think you need to drink some before you dehydrate." She gently says as she looks at the yellow mare with a light smile on her face. "I will help you through this entire pregnancy and I will be here if you need some advices on raising the children. But you have my vote of confidence. You will be a GREAT mother, sweetie." She smiles at the mare.
"First of all, from what you told me about Zaribe and from what Celendria told me about him.. I think he is very honorable and wonderful stallion, and I don't think he will ever dream of leaving you and your children." Frosta reassures Tic as she watches the new mother drink then she sees the lump appearing and disappearing on the surface of her swollen stomach. "If you weren't taking care of them.. they wouldn't be moving around like right now, my dear." She grins at Tic.

Tic felt whole alot more reassured and better about the pregnancy because she got Frosta's vote of confidence and faith that the new mother could overcome any obstacles and successfully raise the offspring that will come into the world. The new mother began to relax little bit as she took a long drink from the cold river. "Thank you very much, Frosta.. you would never know how much I really need this kindness and wise advice from you." Tic looks at her friend with a smile on her face. "I am very excited.. this is entirely new experience for me and I hope I won't fail my mate, my future children and everybody around me." She looks at Frosta with a happy yet hopeful look on her face.
Tic blushes as she looks at Frosta with almost ashamed look on her face. "I don't know why I ever thought that Zaribe would leave me like that just because I am pregnant with his children. I am very sure he will be very thrilled that he is going to be a father.." She laughs weakly as she looks at Frosta thoughtfully. "You do have a point there.." She turns her head toward her swollen stomach and noses it gently. "I am trying my best, my little ones.."

Frosta glances around because she sent her familiar out to find the herd members to gather around so Frosta and Tic could share very good news with them. "I will always be here for you and Zaribe, Tic Tac Toe. You are one of my close friends and I will not let anything happen to you and your future family. Everybody in our herd is coming over right now so you can announce the news to them.. I am sure they will be very thrilled to hear about this." She smiles gently at the new mother.
Frosta stood by Tic as she automatically looks up in the skies when she heard two pair of swooshing swings and she grins when she sees the mother and the daughter flying in to see whats going on with them. "Christabel and Rowenya, I am very glad you guys came.. " She beams at them.

Christabel had hard time trying to find her daughter because she heard about Tic's pregnancy and wanted to come over to help Tic along with showing some support. After a hour of searching around her home terrority she shares with her beloved Besyrwan, she finally found her daughter fast asleep under the tree with her wing covering her face. "Rowenya.. Frosta sent a message.. we need to meet her at the mountains.. apparently there is some good news that Frosta is anxious to share with us." She gently says as she nudges her daughter awake.
Rowenya was fast asleep under the tree, dreaming about food and meeting her new uncles and aunts. Her wing automatically went around and covered her face to shield herself from the sun and when she hears the hoofsteps, she tries to stay asleep because she knows its her mother coming to wake her up for some reasons. When she felt herself being nudged and her ear flicks around when she hears her mother's voice saying that they need to trek over to the mountains to hear the good new from Frosta. "mmm... ok mama.." She mumbles as she yawns widely before she gets up. "Lets go.." She says as she follows her mother to the area where they could take off without any complications and they both took off into the air.
It took them few hours to arrive at the mound in front of the mountains and both females lands in front of Frosta and Tic. Christabel was pleasantly surprised to see that her intuition was right about Tic being pregnant. A smile spreads on her face as she nods lightly to both of them. "Hello Frosta and Tic. I am very glad to see that you guys are very well." She winks at Tic knowingly as she nudges Rowenya forward slightly.
Rowenya stares at Tic with wide eyes before she blinks. "Tic... you are fat!" She exclaims loudly as her wings rests against her body tiredly. "What did you eat to become this fat?" She worriedly says as she looks at all of the females around her whom looks very amused by her comments. "What did I say?" She blinks owlishly, genuinely confused about the amusement on other mares' faces.

"Da...!" Zaicate's voice fills the air as she walks to the middle of the terrority that is claimed as her parents' domain. "We need to go now.. it will be long day for us to travel if we don't leave right now" She exclaims loudly, knowing that her father is probably enjoying some 'personal' time with his mate (her mother). A shudder rolls through her slender body as she thought about it then she frowns before she tries calling out for her father again. "About the damn time, da!" She grumpily says as her father finally emerges from the alcove. "Lets go.. we can't waste any more time." She walks away from the home she grew up in.
Zahariah was spending some personal time with his mate ( chatting and cuddling) when his youngest daughter came barging into the meadow and he turns his head over his shoulder in annoyance. He knows that his daughter is right but he is very reclulant to leave his mate and he sighs softly. "I will be back, my love." He murmurs to his mate then he gets up with an irate look on his face, he walks out of the alcove while preparing to have verbal battle with Zaicate. But he immediately knew that Zaicate is right and they have a long journey ahead of them so he sullenly went after his daughter.
After a day of travelling, the familiar sight of the mountains breaks through the forest. "Come on!" Zaicate calls over her shoulder as she broke into trot with her hair streaming behind her but occasionally will get tangled up in branches or twigs. The familiar voices reaches to both tired daughter and father's ears which caused them to move more faster. Zaicate was the first one to emerge from the forest. "We are here! Sorry we are late.." She calls out to them with a wry smile. "Da was preoccupied when I came over to get him." She says with a laugh.

(( I am going to assume that Izzie is right there behind her mother))
Tic suddenly felt overwhelmed with emotions as her eyes wells up with happy tears when her herd members began to show up in pairs. "I am very happy to see you guys here." She nods to everybody with a huge smile before she blinks in surprise at Rowenya's words. "Um... since everybody is here.." She noses the younger winged mare playfully. "I am not fat.. I am pregnant.. I am going to be a mommy." She excitedly says as she looks at everybody with a huge grin on her face. She winks at Rowenya whom looked shocked and she chuckles happily. "Zaribe doesn't know about this so I would have to ask you guys not to tell him.. I want this to be a wonderful present and surprise for him." Her yellow cheeks became dark red as she blushes at the thought of her big mate.

Frosta and Isabella smiles as they watches Tic announce the big and happy news to the herd that is standing in a semi circle around Tic. Frosta pads to the front of Tic. "I would like to be the first one to say congratulations and you will have a wonderful experience with those children that is going to come very soon. You and Zaribe is going to make one heck of parents because I could see that you guys are going to give it all for your children." She gives Tic a nuzzle on cheek. "If you need any help.. just come to the mountains or air or the earth.. we all be here for you.. always and forever." She steps aside so her daughter could give Tic her congratulations and advices.
Isabella's eyes sparkles with happiness because she knew there is no mare more deserving to have the family like Tic Tac Toe. "Tic Tac Toe.. I have known you since I came out of the basket.. you are full of the life and I know you will do a wonderful job as a parent because you were a wonderful friend and aunt to me, Zaicate and Rowenya. Those children inside you are very lucky to have you and Zaribe as their parents! So congratulations and may Goddess Epona bless your journey as parents." She smiles happily as she gives Tic a nuzzle on a cheek. "I will even be more than happy to volunteer Dharmesh and my babysitting services if you need some alone time with your mate." She moves to stand by Frosta's side with a smile on her face and her eyes glitters with unshed happy tears.

Christabel jabbed her daughter's side sharply with her wing when Rowenya inquired if Tic is fat or not but she couldn't help but to be amused at her daughter's innocence. The golden tiger-like alicorn felt very happy that her daughter haven't been corrupted by the real life just yet but at same time, she is very happy for her mutual friend and 'aunt' because she finally found the happiness that Zahariah, her and Frosta have discovered with family. "Tic.. Aunt Tic.. where do I start?" Christabel finally says with a smile on her face and she looks at her 'aunt'. "Zaribe is very blessed and lucky to have you because you are one of the kind, Tic. The children that is going to grace you guys with their presence is going to have the best life that you guys can provide them with. So congratulations and may your life be full of the happiness and good experiences." She winks at Tic as she glances at Rowenya.
Rowenya blinks as Frosta, Isabella and Christabel spoke about how lucky Tic is but she still doesn't understand why she is very lucky to be fat! But she decided to go along with what they were doing and looks at Tic with a happy smile on her face. "I do not have any knowledge of pregnancy or raising children so I have no advice to give you except to be there for them. I am very happy for you, Tic and Zaribe! I hope you guys will be very happy together and raise those foals successfully to be full of energy and life." She flutters toward Tic and gave her a 'hug' with her wings before she moves back to her mother.

Zahariah and Zaicate exchanged glances as they tried to battle it out silently about who gets to speak first since they both are not big on that kind of speaking. Zaicate decided to step forward because she knows that its better for her to get it over with and plus she is genuinely happy for the pregnant mare in front of her. "Tic... as everybody already know.. I am not good at this kind of thing. So congratulations.. and good luck with everything that is going to happen.. having babies.. raise them.. and being happy with your mate. You guys are going to lead a long and happy life and I am really happy for you, Tic. Good luck with pushing those babies right out of you." She grins impishly as she gets nudged sharply by her father. "I was just joking about the last part.. sheesh.." She chuckles as she smiles at Tic before she steps backward slightly to her position in the semi-circle around Tic.
Zahariah watches his daughter as his chest puffs out with a pride at Zaicate's short comments because he never heard Zaicate say something nice like that to anybody at all. "Um.. Zaicate already echoed what I wanted to say. So there is nothing I can really say except congratulations and good luck with everything! I am sure you will raise those children wonderfully and be very proud of yourself and your children." He nods sagely as he didn't move from his spot.

Tic stares at everybody with wide tear-filled eyes because she was very touched about how everybody came from their little corners of the world just to congratulate her on her pregnancy. Her throat constricts with tears as she laughs weakly after Zahariah spoke, she breathes deeply before she smiles at everybody. "I can't even begin to tell you guys how much this really means to me.. having my herd members gather around me for this very important news. I am very happy to hear that I will have never ending support from you guys." Her voice cracks as she laughs weakly.
"I consider you all as my family members and I know you guys will show my children love that you have shown me." Tic smiles at everybody happily before she takes in a deep breath. "Thank you guys.. again for coming all way over here."
