Israfel felt the foals kick as Aly was snuggled up against him. He was a bit taken back by it but it somehow made the situation seem more real to him. There really were foals in there and they were his foals.
"I can't believe it either and I also wasn't expecting this. But it happened and now we will take care of it. Don't worry about my parents. Okay? I promised, it won't be that bad when you meet them. If anything, they will be upset with me and not you." he said and nuzzled her again before also nuzzling and poking at her belly with his nose. "They are really in there aren't they?"

Alyna didn't know if she truly believed that Israfel's parents would be more upset at him than they'd be at her...but if he said so, she'd put her fears to rest, at least for the moment. And there they would stay, until the fateful meeting with the new foals and their grandparents.
"Yeah...they're really there. It's hard to believe that they're in there sometimes, even for me." Alyna smiled, a warm maternal smile much like the one her mother had smiled while carrying her. Alyna knew now what her mom had been feeling...although her mother would never know the shame that came along with a pregnancy out of a one-night stand, Alyna's other emotions were very similar to her mother's.
The foals, not feeling any of the apprehension and emotions of their parents, merely kicked happily against their mother's side, bumping into their father's nose, and wriggling to their heart's content.

Israfel was still amazed that the foals were raelly in there. he pressed his ear to her tummy trying to see if he could hear them in there but was given a swift kick in the head instead. He jumped back and stared wide eyed at the spot his head had just been in. He wondered what it was like to have something growing inside of you but he wasn't sure he would be at all wanting to try it out for himself. His mother must not had minded it much otherwise he wouldn't be here and that same when for his grandmother.
"Does it hurt? I mean having them in there and when they kick and move?" he asked Aly curiously, looking back up at her face, still wide-eyed and innocent.

Alyna was surprised at his question. "Well..." She paused, wondering how to describe what it felt like. "It didn't really hurt in the beginning. Just like...butterflies from nervousness that never really went away. But more real-feeling that those butterflies. But when they got bigger, their hooves got harder, and now it sort of hurts if they kick too hard." Alyna had felt sort of weird at first, the thought of living things inside of her...it had given her shivers. It just seemed odd, that something was in there that hadn't been in there before. But now, she felt rather protective and maternal about them, even before she'd ever seen them. Not that she was worried that they'd be anything but gorgeous. With a father like Israfel, they couldn't help but be beautiful.
And Israfel...still so innocent. Just like she was. She wondered if they were truly ready for this. Especially because...Alyna didn't think she'd stay with Israfel forever. Which meant that the children would be split up. Which was exactly the opposite of what Alyna wanted for them.

He nodded, still wide-eyed and curious. He hoped that they were not causing her too much pain. He would feel bad if they were since he was the cause of it all. It was his fault after all for not knowing what they were really doing. "I hope they aren't hurting you too badly or causing you too much pain when they kick." he said looking up at her and then turned back to her tummy and spoke softly to it. "Now don't you be kicking you momma like that. It's not nice and I am sure she doesn't appreciate it one bit. She knows your there, little ones." he cooed softly, imagining what they would look like when they were born. He hoped that maybe they would have her spots.

Alyna attempted a brave smile. "No, it doesn't hurt too much. Not yet, at least. From what I've heard of birthing foals, it's not going to be much fun. But you'll be there, so I'll be alright." At least she hoped so. She wasn't going to tell Israfel that it was going to be the most excruciating pain she'd ever felt. He looked worried enough without all that. And she didn't want to think about the pain. She figured she'd deal with it when it came, and not worry about it until then. Because she was worried, too. And thinking about it just made it worse.
She snuggled against Israfel's side. "I think they're happy to have their daddy with them. I don't think they've been this active before."

He nuzzled the top of her head as she snuggled in against him again. It was still rather weird to feel her round belly up against his side but he was getting used to it. He had already known that it wasn't going to be fun for her to give birht to the foals but he tried to put it out of his mind.
"Of course they should be happy thier daddy is here!" he exclaimed. "Cause I am going to take good care of them and protect them and spoil them like crazy!" he said chuckling.

Alyna laughed, extremely happy that Israfel seemed to be pleased that he was going to be a father. She had been worried at first that he would resent her somehow. "Well don't spoil them too much." She said, a twinkling smile on her face. "I rather thought that was the grandparent's job. They may think you're trying to outdo them." She chuckled at her little joke, and rested her nose on the top of her swollen belly. "I guess the only thing left to do now is to wait."

Israfel chuckled as she was right. His parents would deffinately spoil the foals, especially if they turned out to be girls. He had very few girls in his family and secretly he hoped that atleast one was a little girl that took after her mom. "I don't think they will gt jealous. Though the great-grandparents might. My grandmother is crazy about foals and spoiling them. Atleast she was when I was little." he said still chuckling to himself. "Hopefully we won't have to wait too much longer. I am sure your tired of having them in there by now and I am too excited to wait for them."

Alyna laughed with him and snuggled up against him. "I sure hope we won't have to wait very long. I am...quite impatient to see them." She smiled, mixed emotions running through her. It had been quite a journey, and now she felt ready to face the end of it. With Israfel by her side, she could do this...even facing his family, something she was terrified of. She stroked her belly with her nose, looked up into Israfel's eyes, and for the first time during her whole pregnancy, she was at peace.

Israfel smiled down at her as she looked up into his eyes. He would have never dreamed that he would have ever be a father but here it was now staring him right in the face. He would be lieing if he said that he wasnt scared but he was also excited about it as well. He just hoped he could be as good of a father as his had been and as his grandfather had been. He wasn't too worried about his family being okay with the coming foals, he was more worried about whether or not he would live up to thier expectations. But all of this he kept inside so that he wouldn't worry Aly. Only time would tell how things would go and for now he was ok with that.Finished!
