Renesme listened to Io and watched her expertly mix the ingredients together, it made her feel in good hooves. After all she was sure she would never be able to make a potion to aid with pain or to calm. "Thank you," she said with a smile as yet another pain gripped her belly. They seemed to be hurting more and more now and getting closer together. She wanted to scream and panic -like it or not these babies where on the way!
Chandra nodded and smiled to her sister as she tried to keep Renesme distracted instead. "Are you hoping for boys or girls? Two or three?" Despite the fact that it she was going to lose the bet unless Alice suddenly went into labor also she was super excited for the mare beside her, and although it would be a lot of work she was hoping for three again.
"I...." Renesme started, she had been thinking a lot about the number of children she would have, she really wanted to have a big family but it wouldn't bother her if she only had two. After all her and Rune could always just have more children in the future. Maybe two would be a good way to warm up? At last she finished her answer, "....don't mind, as long as they are healthy. I would like a little girl, then Rune could spoil her like a princess. Of course boys would be treated like prince's.... I am sure they would grow up as brave and strong as their father and grandfather." She said as she scrunched her face up as kick hit her square in the bladder. Her babies where getting restless.
Renesme knew that these two mares where related to Rune. Cousins she believed. It made Renesme proud to be bringing new life into their family line.

After a few more stirs and a quick sniff of the mixtures, Io was pleased with her work. She looked up to the two mares, "We're ready here!" she bobbed her head with excitement. She took a few steps over towards Renesme.
"Ren, if we could get you to the shade..." She looked over to the shade tree where she had everything laid out.
"Now remember... the drink, I'm not going to lie...It's awfully bitter, But I promise it will help the pain," she stated truthfully. Some of the ingredients made the mixture just horrid, but it had a great effect on pain.

Chandra listened to her sister and already knew she didn't want to taste it -maybe she would conviently be 'away' when she had her children to avoid such punishments.
"Come on Renesme." She said with a chirp as she leaned against the mare so that she could use her as a balance.
Renesme gulped softly, but finally nodded and clamped back to her tired feet. She was thankful that Chandra was there for support, between the fact she was heavily pregnant, tired and in pain Renesme was struggling. "That bad hey," she said sweetly as she tried to make light of the situation, "Maybe next time you will try and add something to make it a little sweeter. Apples maybe." Renesme knew she was talking rubbish and that adding extra ingredients would likely ruin the intended effect but it made her feel more... in control, to joke and mess about.
Slowly the heavy mare made it to the tree and plopped herself down once more, she knew she needed to preserve what little energy she had so that she could make it through this safety.... her driving motivation - to see her children.
She looked at the foul smelling liquid with its lumps of what appeared to be leaves and herbs or whatever. The fact that she knew and expected it to taste bad really wasn't encouraging her to swollow. In fact it was actually making her want to gag.
Finally she lowered her head, closed her eyes and just drank it as fast as she could. She wanted to spit it out, to vomit, but she did her best to resist. It seemed to cling and stick to her throat.
"Yum...." she finally said as she stuck her tongue out and tried to smile at the two mares. She knew they meant well but she didn't understand how something that tasted that bad could help.
