 Gal waited on the other side of the waterfall as Micah went off to forge for food. She didnt know it yet but something was off. Just waking up as the mornign light hit her face she looked toward the frozen beauty the water gave itself in the light. Like the many dimonds that incrested the cave walls. Sparkling and shimmering in all the rainbows beauty.
What was more entertaining is that Isi had come to visit the little filly she had found as a basket. King had come with her as it was faster for her to get there while riding him. The way they knew how to get here was when Micah and Gal first came to this place and Micah was away, Gal had looped back to the teepee to tell king of the place and he knew where to find it.
Trying to get up she fumbled a bit and went back down. At that moment she knew it was time. Her stomach started to quake and small pains rushed to her. She gave a small weak winny to the cave door and then laid her head down. ------------------------------------- Out side Isi was standing as she watched her most prized stallion graze. When she heard the sound of the mare crying. Kings head boggled up too as he could recognize the faint sound from when Tetyawna started to give Birth. Isi knew too as she had delivered at least 3 sets of foals and rushed into the cave to help the mare. -------------------------- King looked around and sniffed the air for Micah. As soon as he found it he looped in the general Direction he had gone, as quickly as he could trhough the knee deep snow. He Winnied out loud so that by chance Micah might be able to hear him and meet him half way back.(( ohh and i figured this would be a good way for king to find out she was preggy lol))

His hooves trudged through the still high, but still melting snow. His mate was large with foal now. She had grown in size, and as he size had grown rounder, she had grown more hungry.
Forcing himself through the cold, he shifted his gaze to the floor. Sometimes there was fresh plants hidden just under the snow.
But as he drew a hoof to pull some of the snow from the area he had picked, he heard the call of his father.
His..father? What on earth was his father doing here?
The call was urgent though, and Micah knew the direction from which Kings voice carried. It was Gal.
He took off, hoping she was okay.
He hadn't meant to be gone so long..
Oh if she was hurt, he'd never forgive himself. Ever.
He ran as fast as his legs could carry him. Even he, felt like he was flying. He hadn't gone excessively far, but he needed to run to reply to that urgent call.
As he neared, he slowed as to not run into King.
"Father.. I..I heard you.. What's wrong?"
He asked, trying to peer past him into the cave.

Though the cave was 10 horse lengths back King turned on his heel in a quarter, and ran back to the cave calling back,
" Well now my boy, you didnt tell me you and miss Galitaya where wih Foal, but to my suprise i came on the right day!"
He hoped Micah would catch what he meant by that as he ran back, his curly hair whipping behinf him int he wind as his massive body ploighed through the snow like it was nothing.
-----------
Isi had been sitting beside Gal, stroking her neck and somach every so often as she weaved to calm her and the babies down. She knew that Gal mustnt stress to much as it was bad chi for the babies and her. Quietly Isi sat there, making small hushing noises as she wove the second basket. Soon completeing it she started on another one as she knew that Soquili could have more then two babies and wanted to be prepared, meaning to weave four just in case.
-----------
Gal winced in the pains, now growing as the time came nearer and nearer. More painful each time she breathed heavily, flaring her nostrils. Tears ddi not fall from her eyes yet but it was almsot close to. She laid there, trying to keep still, every so often kicking her legs out behind her as she kinda rocked on her side. Her eyes closed and she listened for King to come back with Micah.

Micah started to explain not telling King, but before he knew it King took off, and Micah knew instantly what was happening. Galitaya was having the babies.
Wait...
Galitaya was having the babies?!
He almost wanted to faint, but she needed him right now. He too, took off behind his father, even catching up, and passing the older stallion in his rush.
His hooves clattered into the cave, as they met the hard stone floors.
"Gal."
He said softly, walking to her, and laying beside her to keep her comforted.
He looked up and saw the two legger. It sent a pang though him as he had forgotten to alert Anusha of the news..
He'd hope she'd forgive him later.
He took his place at Gal's back, angling his neck over hers, and nipping at her forelock gently.
"Oh my Gal.. My beautiful mate.."
Nuzzling her again, he beamed in pride.

Smiling faintly the mare responded in a droned voice as the pains became more consistant now,
" My Handsome knight... they will be arriving..."
She smiled before a small painful noise escaped her lips and out of nature she started to push. She could feel them comming, wanting out. Gal could feel parts of her body ripping and stretching as they made their way forward, and this was only just the start of it.---------------
As Isi weaved the fourth basket she looked up and quickly completed it rushing to gals lower end. She made sure nott o spoke Micah wispering in a comforting voice to them both as she lifted Gals tail and inspected it. It had already been two hows since Gal went into Labour and Isi had to make sure everything lookd right. Just then she could see something, something was crowing.
" Ohh i see the first one"
she beamed proudly, feeling like a mother helpign her child give brith to her grandbabies. Quickly she went to grab one of the baskets and ended up bringing them all over so she wouldnt have to keep running back and forth. Gently she placed her hands on the openign and stretched it a bit to help the baby slide, much to Gals discomfort.
---------
King rushed in and smiled as he seen his son taking his place rightfully behind gal to ez her. It reminded King of when Tet was giving Birth how he was with her. He was glad that Micah showed signs that he took after king, even just a little.
" So how is the lil' lady baring?"

Micah's eyes beamed with pride at the mare giving birth to his first babies.. His first littles Micahs and Gals. He nuzzled her cheek.
"Shh.. Don't speak, darling. Save your energy."
He looked up as the two-legger quickened her strokes when building the basket and jump up to rush to Gal.
Had she moved any quicker, he might have been spooked, but she seemed to be moving at just the right place to get her somewhere and keep them both calm in the process.
He didn't understand when the two-legger spoke. Only that she was excited. He saw her rush to get the baskets, and Oh! This was it!
He was keen to her actions around the foals, but he turned his head, to nuzzle Gal's cheek again and stroke her neck with his own muzzle.
King rushed in, and Micah hadn't noticed him at first.. But then he looked up, giving a proud smile to his father. Oh how wonderfully she was doing..
"She's doing marvelous.. She is so strong."
He said, gazing back at her again.

King spoke Gently to Micah and smiled,
"Wonderful! And Micah dont worry about Isi, she knows what she is doign and would never harm your kin. After all she delivered you as i remember..
and if you want me to translate her for you I can"
King smiled as he was wise in his years just as Isi was. Isi was now 24 and since she came to this place when she was but 18 she had learned alot. Especially in finding King.
----------------
She rushed a little as the first one slipped out, and gently wiped the mucus away from its nose so he coul breath. Gently she blew into the nose their after to rush out any remaining mucus and a small strong sound called out. Smiling she gently wiped it off but did not let micah, king or Gal see the foal. It was to be a suprise. After cleaning the foal she gently placed it in the basket and quietly sad,
" First ones a Colt"
-----------------
" A boy!"
Gal whinnied softly to her baby as she could understand what isi meant by the word Colt. She gently breathed out, a moment of relaxation before the next contractions began adn she grunted as she pushed again, feeling the next one comming, not noticing or really feeling Isi Delecatly help widen the passage way.

Micah nodded to his father, and looked back at the two-legger. She had changed. He hadn't realized that was Isi.. All two-leggers looked the same to him.. All except Anusha of course.
"I do not fear her. I am just careful."
He said, smiling a bit to his father, and looking back at Isi.
What had she said? Colt? Micah didn't know the word, and looked at Gal.
As Gal said the word Boy, Micah's eyes widened and he smiled.
"A boy? Gal, we have a boy."
He said, nuzzling her again, and closing his eyes against her cheek. He took in teh scent of her, and grinned as he heard his first child's soft noise at the happenings of its first few moments.
"And it's healthy Gal.. We had a healthy boy."

Galitaya whinnies out in pain as Isi Hushed her and gently petted her coat. Gals head went back down but only momentairly. Again the contractions began and she clenched and pushes. Isi grabbed yet anothe rbasket and cleaned the foal up before basketing it.
" A boy!"
she called out and Gal smiled, Huffing moer and more before saying"Another little boy... another little Micah"
