Liberty has been all smiles for days and days. She had said yes!! She loved him too and...and... Just thinking about his beloved brought a goofy smile to his face. She was -his- mate now and no one could ever take her away from him!
Any other time Liberty might have felt stupid breaking into random song as he headed for his beloved's teepee home but nothing could dampen the happy young male's spirits. She had said YES!!

It had been a over a day since Forte had found the basket. She watched it like a hawk. No idea how old it was, the foal could come any minute for all she knew. She also waited for the real parents to come any time... Though she kind of hoped they wouldn't, but she had no right to wish such a thing. Her and Liberty have been trying to start their own family with little success. She had completely forgotten that Liberty was going to be coming there today. The other night they had committed to each other, and she had never felt so happy. She was so happy to hear that he loved her. It then that her ears twitched to his singing. She had no idea how to explain the basket.. Since the parents haven't come for it, then... She would raise it... and Hope that Liberty would as well.

Liberty poked his head out from the bushes snorting faintly as he wiggled free. Stupid thorn bushes, why did they have to always covered the shortest routes? Heaving a sigh, his song gone he looked around curiously for his little mate. "Forte? Where are you?"

Forte had done her best to shuffle the basket into the opening of the teepee. She bounded out and giggled at him. "Libby!" She chripred trotting to him, and she nuzzled into. She wasn't sure how she wanted to break the news about the basket... "Um... Liberty sweetie, I need to talk to you about something..." She looked up at him, a little worried.

Liberty smiled down at her tenderly as he nipped her mane very gently "Anything love. You know you can tell me anything." His smile was sweet as he gazed down at her. She was the center of his world. He finally understood how his father felt about his mother. He couldn't imagine his life without Forte in it.

Forte smiled up at him and she cooed lightly... She looked over her should and then down at the ground. She had no idea how he'd take this... "Sweet heart, I found something... And this something will need the both of us..." She turned around and padded a few steps to the teepee... "It's a basket..." She glanced over at him, looking for the expression on his face.

Liberty blinked a few times staring at the basket with a startled look on his face. A baby...a helpless foal left alone in this world. His gaze hardened "show me."

Forte suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with the look on his face, but she obeyed, leading him over to the teepee, where she had pushed the basket... She nudged it back out and looked up at him. "I'm not sure if it was left, or forgotten or what... I stayed with it for a few hours... waiting for the parents. But they never came so I brought it here." She lowered her head feeling as if she had done something wrong. "Luna's been keeping an eye on it, and says the foal should come any day now.."

Liberty's face was unreadable as he stared down at the helpless basket. His first memories where of hearing his father's voice as his mother's soft humming. How could anyone abandon their child to the cold, cruel world. He finally seemed to realize he had been silent for awhile and was probably giving her the wrong idea. He smiled at her tenderly and nuzzled her gently "of course we will take care of the little one! It will make good practice for the day when we have our own." His smile was sweet and tender as he nuzzled her.

Forte looked over at him, when he finally talked. She felt so relieved that he was on board with this. She stepped to the side of the basket and nuzzled against him "I'm so happy, you are." She giggled at him a bit. She felt some anxiety though. The foal would be that of a regular sized horse. She wondered how having two Usdia parents would affect it. That and she wondered if the real parents would show up looking for their child... What would she do if that happened?

Liberty made that happy noise low in his chest as he nuzzled her then nosed the basket. Lifting his head he gave her a faintly worried look, " You know we have no idea what this foal maybe love. For all we know it is a kalona or demonskin child. I am not saying we won't love and protect it but I think we should be prepared that this may not be a normal child." He chuckled softly, " It might even be on the the winged children of the air, or swimmers of the sea."

Forte looked over at the basket. "Well I had found it in the woods..." She sighed lightly. She had never thought of it being a kalona... The one and only she met, had her Zeda. A demonskin? she had never heard of it, and never wanted too... Her twitched a bit. She had been so light hearted about having this foal... It just never occurred to her at all that, it could be something bad...

He whuffed again nuzzling her "don't worry so dearheart. I am sure he or she is a perfectly normal, loving baby. I mean Adour is half kalona and she was a sweetie." He didn't bother to tell her how vicious the young filly had began to become when the fire had struck.
Liberty gave her a happy, goofy grin" well it's pink too...think it'll look like me love?" He teased trying to lighten her mood, sad that he had alarmed her.

Forte returned the nuzzled, and mulled over the ideas of what the foal could come out like... She looked up at him and then she lightly nudged at the basket, wanting to know now, so they could be ready... With a gentle sigh she raised her head to lay on his back... Not being quite as tall as Liberty, she wasn't able to get her jaw in his spine, so it mostly rested against him. "I'm not feeling so well..." She told him. It had been like that since the day before...

Liberty immedatly began to fuss over her, urging her to lay down and nudged the basket closet to her. "What's wrong baby? Are you dizzy? Do you feel hot? Is it your stomach? Oh lord let me go get Luna!"
It was kinda fun how quickly the strong little stallion fell apart at the slightest hint his love was, perhaps sick. " Can I do anything?"
