Welcome to Gaia! ::

She could feel it after many days, and she noticed her stomach grow throughout the week. Was it really possible? Could she really be blessed with the chance to have more children?! She didn't know what to think, and a part of her was nervous, while another part was completely ecstatic.

As she slowly maneuvered around some sprouting flowers in the grass, she looked clear and ahead, wondering if her mate was off flying or exercising for the morning. Hesperos was always so committed to everything he did, and Ghost just loved watching him when she could. This would be quite a surprise for him as well.. Spring was certainly bringing more then they could have wished for! She would have to inform the other children soon if it was true, and she knew they would be just as excited!

After collecting her many thoughts, Ghost decided to continue on while searching for any signs of Hesperos. He would certainly come, he always did! She was also always easy to see amongst the landscape, and she was glad for that. Her now-older children carried the same traits, and it would be fun to see what the new children would bring!

When she saw that Heserpos was coming closer, the mare stopped herself so that she could get a sturdy ground to stand on for the time being. She could tell by Hesperos' expression that he had noticed her body change, and she only giggled as he held his silence in response to her size. "Well, luckily I didn't gain any weight from the seasons change. It appears that our family is going to grow more, Hesperos! And just in time for spring! Isn't that amazing?!" The mare then moved herself to snug her mate, since she couldn't describe the happiness she was feeling. Hopefully he could tell from her giggles and smiles that she was incredibly thankful to be a mother again!

"I must admit, I was surprised myself. We had tried and tried for so long just before, and now to be pregnant again, and so soon? I couldn't be happier!" It must have been fated that the family would continue to grow, and she wondered how her family would react to such a surprise!

"What do you think, Hesperos? Are you ready to be a father again?" Its not that they weren't parents at the moment, but it was always fun to raise children when young, and Ghost could foresee even their other children being just as excited from the news. "I wonder what personalities they will have! Our other three are wonderful and unique, who knows how many we will have this time!" And genders.. it really was exciting.

With a gleeful grin, Ghost added in on her love's words of happiness. "See, and now since we are professional parents, this batch of children will be full of fun and no stress! That just makes it more exciting now, doesn't it?" Even though Ghost was nervous the first time around, it was only because she wanted to make sure her children got the best of everything. She wanted to be as amazing as her own mother was, and that was a tough dream. She and Hesperos had done an amazing job, and it showed in their beautiful children.

"I am very excited myself, Hesperos. Thank you, you know." she then said, with full confidence and poise." You are the best thing that I could have ever asked for, and for you to happily share all of these experiences with me. You are the mate I used to dream for when I was younger.. you really are perfect." She finally lowered her head, since her face had turned a shade darker out of complete embarrassment of love. She was never embarrassed in front of him, but she just couldn't help it this time!

Once she had cooled herself again, she raised her spirits in a bouncy glee. "Ah, what shall we name them? Will they be girls, boys.. I am so excited!" taking in a breath of air finally, she caught her voice in a bunch of giggles and laughs. "See, I can't even speak properly! Its to be expected, of course. You know how I love these moments."

She was quiet as Hesperos spoke, since she was enjoying his words so much! "I love you too." she then managed to sneak in, but she silenced herself again as she snuggled against his larger head. It always felt good to have him reassure her of his love, since Ghost knew love was a complicated subject for many. Maybe they were both too innocent for problems? If anything, she was thankful! Ghost was terrible at dealing with problems.

"Oh, come on. I will be totally fine, especially this time around since I have the hang of pregnancy and everything! There is no need for you to worry, I promise." She wouldn't want him worrying over nothing anyhow, since she would inform him if there was ever a problem. "I can foresee this pregnancy experience as being different then the first time, since I have a different season to deal with. These new children will have to wait a whole year until they can see snow, whereas our now grown-up children have not even see summer yet!"

It was cute how it all worked, and Ghost was beaming with delight as she put the facts together. "Maybe the personalities will be different because the seasons are different? Or maybe I am overthinking it!" She grinned and fluttered her wings, since it was fun to ponder the possibilities.

Ghost nodded as Hesperos spoke, but her eye caught something familiar amongst the trees ahead of her. Something blue and something dark were popping out from behind the leafless tress, and her mother's instinct knew exactly who was there! "You know, it looks as though we have company. And the perfect company if I may say so myself."

The mare then nudged Hesperos next to her and walked slowly towards the woods, beckoning happily for her children to come forward. "Porsche, Everhart, I know you two are over there!" It made her incredibly happy to know that her children were still getting alone with each other, and she knew that was a relief for even the future children to see! They would have some great influences ahead of them, and that made the mare comforted as a mother.

Porsche was always supportive of her brother, and she was glad to be spending the day with him. "Don't worry brother, there is nothing wrong, nothing at all!" she looked at him with worried eyes, before realizing her name had been called. "Did you just hear that?" she then commented, while looking away from her brother's eyes. Before she realized it, her parents were slowly approaching where they were, and she could only smile with complete shock.

"Everhart look, its mom and dad!" It took Porsche seconds to notice her mother's belly, and she went from a face of complete shock to a face of utter excitement. "What is going on??" There was no reason to flat out ASK what was up with her mother, since she didn't want to embarrass her if she had gained weight or something. Though, that option seemed far from possible.

Ghost was sure that the two kids had noticed already, and she only giggled as she always did at their responses. "Well, your father and I have some great news. Our family is going to be bigger soon!" Even saying such a thing over again brought complete happiness to the mare's face, and she wondered how her children would react to such a surprise. "You all will be having more siblings, though we are not sure of the number yet."

She then took a moment to look at her daughter and son, since they had really matured so wonderfully. "What do you two think? I wanted to tell you sooner, but your father and I have just found out ourselves." A part of her was nervous, since she wondered how she would have felt knowing such news so randomly. But that was the surprise the life brought sometimes, and she prayed they would be alright!

With no hesitation, Porsche pounced at her mother and father while nuzzling them with complete happiness. "AH, that 's great! More siblings, how fun!" Porsche was also aware at how amazing her parents were with children, so she was not phased at all. "I can't wait to see the genders and what they look like, I suppose I should start acting all big-sister like!" Her heart was beating fast at the news, and she wiggled her wings as she thought about the possibilities.

"What do you think, Everhart?" she then said, while looking at her quiet brother. Would he be ok with it? It seemed as though he was having internal issues anyways, and she was hoping he would see the good in the situation. "I'm sure we will be on babysitting duty very soon!" But that was all fine with Porsche, since she loved children.

Raising a brow, Everhart was actually really surprised about the news. He was conflicted though about his emotions. He was happy for his parents since they seemed so ecstatic but he was also feeling hesitant... Everhart had never imagined that his parents would have more kids. For some reason, he was disillusioned to think that this would be it... forever. Would these new kids make him feel even more like a black sheep in his family? "I'm so h-happy!" His voice was almost fake but he tried to cover it up. "Congratulations. C-can you believe we're going to have new siblings Porche?" The stallion attempted at another smile and it looked almost like a grimace. "Ah yes... babysitting. Sounds e-exciting." He stuck his tongue playfully at his sister and pushed his doubts to the back of his head.

Turning his head, Everhart noticed a familiar figure in the distance. Grinning slightly, Everhart nodded to Daemon. "H-hello brother. I think mom should tell you the news." He turned to Ghost and smiled softly.

Hesperos looked at his son skeptically not believing a word he said but he decided not to bring it up now. This was a time of happiness and cheer. He could deal with his son's problems later. A huge grin overtook Hesperos's expression. "We're constantly thinking about that Porche. I wonder how many boys and girls will be added to the family. I'm sure you'd love a younger sister." The stallion chuckled happily as he fondly thought about the time when Porche, Daemon, and Everhart were children. He nuzzled Ghost affectionately and smiled once more. "I'm glad you two seem just as excited as we are."

He noticed Everhart turn and he looked in the same direction and noticed Daemon. Chuckling loudly, "Here comes the rest of the family." He looked to Ghost to tell their son the wonderful news.

"You old dog!," he stated teasingly at his father before turning back to nuzzle his mother once more, "A congratulations are in order. Not only do I get to see my family again, but I learn that it will be growing! This is wonderful news. I can tell them tales of my traveling and all the strange creatures I've come across. I daresay, I think they will like me!"

Daemon turned and nipped at his sisters ears, "You'd have to catch me first, eh?," he teased. He didn't realize that his absences might be hard on his family, especially his sister, but he really did love exploring. He probably wouldn't be nearly as happy if he didn't get out and about once in awhile. He would have to make sure he spent more time at home though.

He rather liked the idea of having some little ones tag along behind him while he told them stories. This babysitting thing didn't sound half bad at all.
