((Man I fail at this x-x We haven't even gotten to the basket part of the rp and they are foals already xD;;; Hope you don't mind that it's going so slow o.o; ))
Adelle gave a small shake of her head make her bells jingle lightly. She had come to like this human. It had taken her a long while to get used to the sight of something that looked like the two-legger in front of her but she had come to trust this particular one. The mare had noticed in the human's shelter some baskets and she looked at the human wide-eyed. Did the human know something she did not? Was her moment of sickness earlier and the heaviness in her stomach caused by little ones inside her? At the touch of the human's hand she flinched slightly but allowed the two legger to pet her.
Looking over at Shihab she blushed slightly the color turning her cheeks a brighter pink as she thought about how to tell him her suspicions. "Shihab?" Her voice was tentative as she spoke. "What would you say to having more kids?" The voice of the mare was now so quiet that it could barely be heard. "I'm not positive but I think I may be. And I think your human may have already known. I think. I don't know yet." She couldn't help but ramble. It had been so long since they had their first children.

Shihab watched them silently as his human came out to greet him and Adelle. He loved his human, at times he thought she knew what was going to happen.Tilting his head to the side a little, Shihab's ears twitched atop his head as he listened to what was going on around them, but when Adelle turned her head toward him, a little wide eyed. He had to wonder if it was something that was said... he wasn't too sure. Though the mention of having more children had never crossed his mind and now she was brining it up?
"More?" he mused as the thought. "I think it would be splendid to have more. Before long our family tree will grow larger then it already has." Shihab nodded. "So you think the human knows?" he asked tilting his head, thinking that he would never really understand his human...
More children, that was a pleasant thought, more little hooves running around and more little ones to teach to fly when their wings got big enough of course. Straight from the basket the wings weren't strong enough to support them in flight, he found that out the hard way years back. But more kids, he would hope that they all came to be like his love, in at least a small way...

Looking at the human and then back at Shihab Adelle could only shake her head. "The human knew last time. Perhaps she knows now? I caught a glimpse of baskets in her shelter. Though they may have been food baskets. I'm not positive." the mare spoke quietly closing her eyes. She kept her eyes closed for a few moments as a wave of dizziness overtook her. Her body swayed slightly and she tried to keep balance. She slowly lowered herself to the ground just so there was no chance of her falling over.
"It could also explain why I haven't been feeling well." Adelle mused aloud. Opening her eyes she looked up at Shihab. "Does my stomach look bigger to you as of late?" She couldn't help but ask. Then out of nowheres the worries came flooding out. "Aren't I to old for more children? What if they hate me? What if there's something wrong with them? What if I'm just being paranoid about having foals for no reason? What if I'm not with foal?" All these questions flowed out of her mouth, her eyes were open wide, and she looked to be in a panic. She didn't see how she could mother children again.

Just about blown away from where he stood, the questions came in a great gusher of sound from his mate. ears twitching, he tried to catch everything she had said, some of it was lost within everything else. He nosed at her gently as she laid herself down upon the ground, the human becoming concerned had vanished into the teepee and returned with a hide blanket to spread over Adelle, Though with gentle hands stroked the mare's belly that seemed to have grown bigger, he had to wonder what she was checking for.
"Adelle, You were a good mother then and you still are a good mother. Don't doubt yourself." He said gently nuzzling against her. "No one's going to hate you, not any of our foals and no, your not too old. We are still in our prime, I hear there are Soquili out there that are even older then we are." He nodded turning his head a little toward Sevti. "But it would seem that the human would know about these things." He nodded again.
Straightening up, he looked around and over toward the teepee to where Dao had moved from her place inside to sitting just outside the doorway. He wondered if she knew as well, head tilting to one side, he over saw everything that had to deal with his mate. He didn't want anything to happen to her, not now, not ever...

Adelle looked at Shihab with a smile. He was right and there really was no need to worry. "I'm sorry for worrying to much. It's just hard to believe I might be a mother again when I'm already a grandmother." She said in a quiet voice as she looked over at the human as her stomach was stroked and prodded. A few moments later a sudden pain coursed through her and her eyes closed shut. She gave a whinny in surprise at the pain. At once her motherly instincts now kicked in. Somehow she had managed to go this long without even realizing she had little ones in her.
"Oh dear. Shihab I think we are going to be parents again." Her voice was strained as she looked up at her love. The pain had passed for now. But it was still going to be a long while before the pains would eventually be gone. She was glad though that the human was there as well as Shihab. Without them she probably didn't think she could handle the agonizing pain it caused.

Shihab nuzzled Adelle again as he always kept an eye upon Sevti who was concerned about Adelle, but kept silent. His heart was all a flutter at the thought of having children once again, to teach a new generation the arts and tricks of flying. He looked forward toward that day, but for now, he was intent on remaining beside his mate. Stepping gently over her, he placed himself at her back, minding to keep out of the way of course...
A couples days passed, it seemed that a small snow squall had blown through leaving a fresh blanket of white, glistening snow about the ground. Stretching a little, unfolding his wings to where they were just about straight up over his back, but he folded them down again as a yawn escaped him. The sun was already high over head and shinning down upon the earth, spreading its warmth with everyone and thing. Stretching again, Shihab turned toward Adelle, at her side, three beautifully colored baskets.
Pride filled the black and gold splashed stallion as he reached over and nuzzled the newborns within their warm wicker enclosures. A new branch to their tree has come and he was over whelmed with hope that these little ones turn out just as their elder siblings, Del'Nal and Andre...

The snowy mare slept soundly. She had an exhausting couple of days and she was glad for the chance to sleep. Giving birth to three little ones was energy stealing. She slept deeply having dreams of the little ones as they grew. Perhaps they would turn out like their elder siblings. She hoped so. After awhile she stirred. Opening her eyes she blinked a few times and looked over at the baskets and Shihab. "They are so beautiful. Just like their father." Her voice was quiet as she spoke. "I'm sure they'll turn out to be just like you."
