Stretching Applejack stood up and shook herself off. Dust and debries fromt he ground were sent swirling into the air. "Don't count me out my dear." The orange mare said to her mate with a smile. "Now that I've rested a bit I should be able to carry one of the baskets without too much trouble. That would leave two for you. It should make the way back easier on you, I would think." Applejack offered nosing the baskets that were still on the ground. "If foals weren't so delicate at this age I would say we should let them walk back on their own. But I'm sure they will come out of their baskets soon enough."
Nudgeing one of the baskets so that it was next to her she prodded it gently looking at Bhavesh as she did so hoping the twolegger would understand that she wanted to carry it back herself.

Taroji watched his mate oh she was strong enough to get up...he wasn't good at these giving birth things or what powers a female really had specially when it came to babies and giving birth. He couldn't even remember his time as a child and maybe he never would. He puffed at his mate and then he looked back at the baskets..
They didn't have much weight either but the foals inside was probably real tiny...He smiled and felt really proud now making 3 babies wasn't really that bad for being a father in just a few minutes..
Bhavesh looked over at Applejack and noticed that she wanted something he stopped and held up the baskets infront of her. Maybe she didn't want him to carry it or she wanted to carry it herself.
He put down the baskets on the mares back and he hoped he did the right choice. He looked a little confused as well he wasn't use to helping mares with there new borns either.
" You want to take number 3 yourself? "
He said gently and let go of the basket and slowley starting to walk back to the teepee..
The teepee wasn't that far away and they arrived shortly. And the baskets seemed safe as well.

Time passed swiftly in the days after Taroji and his familly arrived back home at his human friend's teepee. They were good days wich the young family spent resting together building upon their already strong bonds and watching over the increasingly active foals that were nestled safely in their baskets.
Applejack had just returned from grazing on some of the newly grown spring grass to releave Taroji from his careful watch of the baskets so he too could find something to eat when a thudding noise caught the orange mare's attention.
Thump, thwap, rustle...inside a basket that looked a lot like Taroji something was moving. A sudden burst of motion and the lid of the basket came right off to reveal a young colt bright and eager to see the world outside.
The colt was light brown marked like his father, with a sandy colored mane and tail tipped in brown. He flicked his small tail his ears standing straight up on his head showed his curiosity as he looked all around. There was so much to see he didn't know what to look at first. Finally he settled on the soquili standing before him. From their scent he knew they were his parents and he bounded over to give them a nuzzle....or tried do anyway.
His legs were a bit wobbly and he wound up falling in a tanggle of legs and basket onto the ground.
Shanking himself he stood up once more. That is when he noticed the other baskets. After sniffing both of the remaining baskets he started nudging the nearest one with his nose. He came from a basket so it followed that there might be another new friend in one of the other baskets. "Hello in there, want to come out and play?"

The more red basket with the apple signs on it stood nearest but no sounds or movements where comming from it right now but when the other newborn foal sniffed on it the foal inside sneezed and the lid opend a little. A pair of pink and orange eyes peeked out and tried to take a look around but the only thing he saw was a pair of green eyes and a brown nose..
0wo he hoped that the world out there wasn't just those eyes and that nose then he gently siffed at the creature outside. Who could that be? his nose came out from the basket to sniff on the animal infront of him but only that part was shown at the moment.
The male foal inside was apparently more shy and didn't want to burst out he wanted to take it easy.

A tiny basket wiggled around as the filly within' assessed her situation and surroundings. Not entirely sure as to where she was and why she'd been put in here, she attempted to move the noisy thing she was in by jerking her body back and forth.
It didn't actually succeed in getting her anywhere, but she did figure out that she was against something. A head popped up from the basket and dissapeared almost as quickly.
The world, as it turned out, was incredibly bright. So much so that the tiny filly didn't even want to priick her head up from beneath the lid of her basket again. Was she afraid? Quite possibly, but either way the little creature wasn't about to come out from beneath the safety of that lid.

Ahanu backed up a little in startlement as the lid of one of the baskets popped up all of a sudden and then fell right back into place again. Then he laughed softly. There were others like him in the baskets after all. Though they seemed more reluctant to emerge from their woven hiding places.
Wickering he turned away from the baskets. If they wanted to stay hidden away let them. He was going to investigate this wide new world a little. Lifting his small tail high he moved closer to the orage mare sniffing all the while. She smelled good, infact she smelled familiar. "Mama!" He sang all but leaping at her on untried legs. He managed to regain his balance as the mare turned her head wrapping the colt in a protective embrace.
When she let him go again he decided to check the other large one out too. This one smelled diffrent then mother but was also familiar. Ahanu was a little puzzled at first and then remembered hearing what his mom called the other. "Papa!" He caroled bouncing over to give the small stallion a nuzzle.
While his attention was on his father Applejack nuzzled the baskets calling softly to the foals inside. "Come on out little ones. It's ok. Nothing will hurt you. We are here and you are safe."

The male in the basket was still not sure of comming out yet but he liked the voice that was calling him...could it be his mother? it sounded nice it made him smile. He decided to take another peek outside and he stuck his brown nose outside to sniff a little.
It probably looked a little funny just seeing a little nose sniffing the air and the ground around him. The colors on the nose reminded a lot of Applejack's orange fur but it was a little more brown then orange.
The cat-like stallion blinked and looked at the small male foal that decided to come out from his basket. He reminded a lot about him he just had less stripes then he had. He grinned he looked funny but really cute he still couldn't belive that he was a father of 3 even if the others haven't hatched yet but they where probably on the way as well..
He bent down his head to sniff the boy he smelled funny as well but he could sense a smell that reminded of Applejack on him. Heh he sure was cute...Taroji nuzzeld his boy and wagged his tail happily
" Hiya there~~ heh i guess you already know who i am "

A nose reappeared from beneath the lid and the tiny filly opened her shock blue eyes a crack into the bright world around him. It was a strange world out there and the shock of just looking at it made her heart skip a beat and a cough come from her muzzle.
Lifting one of her light hooves out of the basket, the little mare started to pull herself from beneath the lid of her basket and stopped halfway when her legs gave out. A tiny noise came from her muzzle and she attempted to push herself back up with her shaking legs the best that she could.
She could see larger forms all around her, some that were HUGE and others that weren't so huge but were at least a little larger than her. In a way they scared her a lot, what was she supposed to do? Now the basket was sounding much better than this outside world.

Applejack wuffled softly in an encoraging tone slowly edging over toward the two foals by the baskets. First she licked the tiny nose poking out of one of the baskets before carefully Reaching out her long muzzle so as not to fighten the filly. Then she gently nuzzled her daughter. What a precious gift you all are. Welcome my sweet ones.
Leaning back to look into the tiny filly's eyes the older mare smiled warmly "I'm glad you decided to leave your basket. I have been wanting to meet you for some time now."
Ahanu nodded enthusiasticly using his whole neck to nod. "I do! I heard Mamma talking to you. She called you Papa. At least I think she was talking to you...since I don't think the others were out of their baskets yet I don't think either of them could be called Papa. Hmm that makes me think, I wonder what are they called...and do I have a name too?" The little foal rambled on the words tumbling out of his mouth as he thought of them.
Applejack chuckled lifting her head to look over at Taroji and her son. "Yes
you have a name and so does your brother and sister. Your name is Ahanu," The mare turned as she spoke to look at her daughter and the foal yet within the basket. "your sister's name is Dappletail and your shy siblings name is Eidaeri.

Eidaeri felt someone touching his nose and he peeked out some more to see who it was because the warm tough felt safe. The world was so bright out there he blinked many times before his eyes got use to the light...a pair of orange and pink eyes looked at the tw big soquilis and the little brown soquili standing infront of him..
Oh those had to be his parents and the little one his brother. The faol leaned himself to much in one direction so the basket tipped over and the male foal fell out. The boy looked shocked for a while but then he tried to get up but his legs was to wobbly he wasn't good at this at all.
After a while he manadge to get up you could see that he was a little bigger then his brother but he wasn't a quick learner and he looked really shy as well..
" H...hallo? "
He called out with a very gentle but shy voice.
Taroji was surprised that so many words could come out from a small mouth like that 0wo he was glad Applejack answerd his questions. The he looked at his other son who apparently fell of his basket heh the poor boy. He wagged his tail and waited for his 3 child to come out..

Applejack smiled as her shy son tipped himself out of his basket and then tried to stand on wobbly legs. "Easy there Eidaeri," The orange mare encoraged gently. "Take your time and you'll do fine. Don't try to rush, if you move slowly it will be easier to get your legs beneath you."
Near to bursting with pride Applejack watched as the young foal settled himself and then tried again. When he shyly said hello, she leaned down to give him a nuzzle. "Hello yourself, and well done my brave boy."
While his father was distracted by the third basket Ahanu decided to check Ei's now empty basket. He poked his nose inside it, but quickly lost interest in it when he realized that it was just the basket he had been in.

The red and brown foal looked up at the orange mare that was his mother and she looked so nice and she was clam as well that was just what he needed. He smiled and then he gave the legs another go he did much better this time but Ei would be a slow learner and wouldn't take to many risks in his life at all not if he didn't need it.
" O..oh ok "
Then he approched his brother again and gently sniffed his tail a little he was a little surprised that his brother was a little smaller then him but he still seemed much stronger.
" Hmm i guess this one is shy as well oh well it will come out sooner or later "
The male said amused and chuckeld a little and wagged his tail then he walked up to his 2 sons and bent down his head to take a closer look one was definetly more like him and the other like Applejack but what about the one in the basket? all that just made him curious and hungry maybe he should go and get some fruit?
" Oh Applejack? are you hungry? "

Surprised at the touch Ahanu turned his head around to look back at his brother. "He he...that tickles." He laughed wiggling his tail a little in response not daring to move because he was afraid he'd scare the other colt. "Hi there. Do you want to play with me?"
Applejack leaned over to give Taroji a nuzzle. "Mmmm, now that the little ones are mostly settled finding some food will be wonderful. I'm sure our little bashfull foal still the the basket will make her way out when she is ready.

The foal blinked a little oh he was right it probably did tickle since he was blowing some air on his tail. He then lifted his front hoves some and touched the grass beath him that did tickle too..
" I..i sure i c...can play with you but w..what sort of game? "
He asked shyly and waited for a replay from his brother.
" Aye aye! so i guess fruit will be good then? "
The stallion fluffed his two sons with his tail when he was passing them and grinned happily before he strutted away to go look for some tasty apples. But he was still curious on hos the third foal would look like...but Applejack had probably matured when she had been bearing the children and well Taroji hadn't been aware of it until just a few weeks ago so he still needed to take it all in.

It was wonderful watching Taroji play with his sons. Her mate might not realize it just yet but he made a wonderful father. Applejack smiled at the cat like soquili and nodded. "Fruit would be lovely, thank you."
Ahanu grinned from ear to ear at his brother's reply...but he to was at a loss. He had never played any games before. Tilting his head to the side he considered the problem very seriously. So seriously that Applejack had a hard time keeping herself from laughing at his stern little face.
Then just as he was going to ask if anyone else had an idea he spotted something colorful dancing around in the air. "Oh what is that?" He asked motioning his head in the direction of the colorful flying thing."
"That my dears is a butterfly." Applejack explained quietly.
"Hey I have an idea! Why don't we follow the butterfly. He looks like he's having fun."
"You can if you want to," Applejack said giving her approval. But don't go out of sight. That way I can watch to make sure there isn't any danger."
