 The night was cold, and within it Ariston felt his body shudder at the cloudy sky. It was darker then usual, especially since the moon was hiding behind a clump of clouds. On nights as dark as this, Ariston usually didn't go out into the open, but he was curious, and he had.. heard things.
News always seemed to spread fast, but this news he heard was making his heart pump fast, and his eyes glided from tree to tree looking for a certain someone. There was only one female that could drag him out into the darkest of the nights, and that was his dear Heartless.
She was someone who was special to him, and he very much enjoyed everything about her. Though, it wasn't in Ariston's nature to feel 'love'. What he felt for her wasn't really the affectionate feeling that many felt in the scenario of relationships, but he did care for her more then others. To him, she was a priority, the ONLY female he would search for and take time to do so. He held a special place for her in his mind.
Maybe it was his Kalona nature that was making him acknowledge such distant feelings, but for him it was a step, especially since Heartless was actually special to him. He didn't find anything wrong with it; if anything, it made him feel happier on even the worst of days. He also knew that Heartless herself didn't have many feelings present, so their relationship was a good one.
"Hmm.." He murmured, scanning his bright eyes throughout the area. "She's probably already found me.." He chuckled to himself and continued forward at a fast pace.

Feeling rather tired, Heartless had noticed her belly getting larger and larger by the day. It took speaking to one of the few acquaintances she had to explain to her what had happened. She had an odd feeling in her belly, almost like butterflies, and she was so excited.
For the past few weeks or so, the kalona had been feeling rather odd. Not like herself. Her thoughts were clouded with thoughts of Ariston and only Ariston. Again, it took the same correspondent to explain to her the feelings of love. But she worked out the thought that she wasn't in love per say. She couldn't 'love' or feel love. She could feel more partial to someone then others. But then again, she couldn't explain how she was feeling, all she knew right now was that she wanted to talk to Ariston about these new findings.
Sensing a familiar aura and scent, Heartless moved her way towards it, knowing that it was Ariston. Spying the familiar white coat, she couldn't help but move a little faster towards him. Once she was close to him she spoke, "Hello there." It was hard to believe this was the same Heartless that never spoke to anybody.

Ariston almost feel over from the sight of Heartless. "Oh my.." He said, looking at her belly. She must have been expressing that maternal beauty that he had heard so much about. It was almost as if her belly was radiating the moon. "Hello dear." He said, nuzzling her belly.
He suddenly got urges that made him feel.. nervous.
"Have you been feeling alright? Have YOU been alright?" He moved closer to her, scanning her to make sure that everything was intact. I mean, she was carrying quite a load of beautiful children with her.
"How are you?" He finally asked, calmly and cooly, while looking her in the eyes. "I was worried because I haven't seen you."

Heartless didn't know how to react to his affectionate nature so she didn't say anything until he addressed her again. "I've been feeling fine. Just having a little harder to slip away in the shadows, but fine nonetheless. How have you been?" She spoke softly, because of the tremendous weight she was carrying now, and it usually took her a lot of energy to move around as she usually did. The mare was used to covering long distances easily, but now she could hardly venture half the length of what she used to do.
"You worry too much. I'm fiine, and you should know that I can take care of myself." Heartless nodded solemnly and smirked at him. "It's more difficult to get around. Sorry I haven't been out as much as I used to."

Ariston chuckled. "Well of course I have been fine, I am excited from all of this!" He looked down at her belly and then up at her again. "You know, us having offspring, children to carry on in the future."
The thought of three more Kalonas joining the community made him shiver with excitement. "I know you can take care of yourself, though you shouldn't work too hard. You should lie down, or sit.. or something.." His wing rubbed his head in a confused matter, for he did not know of these things too well.
"Don't apologize, though all I ask is that you get lots and lots of rest." His eyes watched her carefully, making sure that every breath she took was a full one.
"Children.. can you believe it? We are going to be.. parents.."

Smirking slightly, Heartless didn't know how to smile so that was as close as she could get. "Well, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself." She knew that becoming a maternal figure would probably be incredibly difficult for her. She already had trouble expressing herself to Ariston, how would she do the same for little... foals that... looked like her or Ariston? She was also intrigued by the fact that they might look like either of them. Okay, in general, all of these new parenting things were confusing. But she knew that Ariston would try and help as much as he could, so she was comforted by that fact.
"Hm. Nope, I still can't believe it. Everything is sort of... coming at me all at once. It's almost unsettling, but I must say I'm very excited. And I can see that you are too."

"There is nothing to worry about, our children will be something alright. I just hope that they can fend for themselves, and choose to be what they want.." He sighed, wondering if they would have daughters or sons.. or both! "Well, at least we are in this together, right?" He smirked at her back, and put his wing over her belly gently.
"It is good to see you are excited, I think you will be suprised, and will make a great mother." He looked at her glowy eyes and smiled. "I agree though, it just sort of.. happened.." Looking back towards the sky, he chuckled at the thought of it all.
"Of course I am excited, I would love to have offspring, and I am pleased that you and I will share some beautiful children."
