 Her belly was swollen and full of new life. She still had a slight waddle in her walk as she made her way from the tree line and into the open grass lands to find something to ease the pangs of hunger. She was eating now for more than herself and found she often had to find food more often now. A small patch of clover was what she found. She was surprised to see that it hadn't yet been killed off by the frost that had hit the land. Still as she sun warmed the day ever more, she leaned her head down and took a large mouthful of clover, savoring it's taste.

Nokomis was on her own again, hooves barely touching the ground here and there except for to sleep. Her wings were weakening yet again, beginning to falter to her sudden surprise in a quiet place. It was calm, a place she'd love Porph to see some day, Porph was a young stallion she had helped to raise from basket to adulthood. He stood proudly with his family now, but that was some miles away from where she was now standing.
Wide fields, open to the warmth of the sun were what spread before her very eye's. This explained why it was so very quiet, no animal in his or her right mind would spare the forests safety to forage out here. Well, not unless she was an Angeni of course. Especially this curious Angeni. She had met her few foul mouthed Kalonas, not a skinwalker yet and she assumed they were slimy and hid away waiting to strike, she kept her distance from the dark places. Leading herself into the small clearing she noticed first hoof prints then munched areas, it was being cleared. She giggled softly and began quietly seeking the munching horse.
Though quietly as she had figured wasn't all so quiet. Between the crunch of her hooves pushing the ground and her wings fluttering a bit, she was a sure catch, no ninja she was.

She was busily enjoying her meal all things else seeming to melt away. Her ears kept watch well enough for her. Open lands made her a target to predators but she'd take the risk to settle her bickering belly. She could feel her children move with live which brought a small smile to her face. The joy of being a mother. It'd been an unexpected thing to happen but it didn't mean she wasn't happy now that it had. She swallowed another mouthful and gave a sigh of satisfaction. Her hunger settled, she laid out in the now cleared area she's been eating. The sun felt so nice on her.

It didn't take long for Noko to calm down and relax her patrol of the area. She felt she was alone as alone could be, unless one started counted small organisms, though being a fairly worried mare she began her streak of double checks. It was on her second run through of the area that she found a quietly heaving mare presumably comforted by the heat of the sun. This was a very terrific discovery, it hadn't been anytime recent that Noko had had her last conversation with someone who could possibly counteract some crazy thing Noko had to say.
Upon a very stealthy approach on her part, once again not so stealthy she noticed something strange, the mares belly was abnormally extended, unfortunately she hadn't been around for Porphs birth, or when his Mother was pregnant, thinking that she was Mother Nature, people would assume she'd seen a pregnant mare before, but alas this was her first, so with that in mind here is what she says as her opening greeting.
"I must begin by apologizing, but you are the fatest mare I've seen in my days of life!" She stated, purely astounded. She was also a littel to honest for her own good! Perhaps only a little.

The sound of another's approach had caught her attention but the words that were spoken simply threw her. She rolled to her feet, flailing only a little till she stood looking jaw dropped at the other's claim of her being simply fat. She blinked shock written all over her face. She was a pretty accepting mare herself and even saw the good of kalona or at least liked to see good in them weather or not they actually had it.
It took her a moment to wash the puzzlement from her mind and actually speak. "I'm affraid I'm not just fat. I happen to be carrying foals." She smiled her usual sweet cheerful smile that caused her eyes to shimmer though they shimmered even more brightly with the joy of motherhood. "So you see, I'm not usually so big." She gave a small chuckle.

Noko did not understand the shock at all, she was only pointing out the truth and when the truth was explained she was kind of shocked herself. "Foals? There are foals in there? My, my, my. Well congratulations are in order!" She smiled broadly, to the mare. "What does it feel like?" She asks slowly, her wings give an excited flutter and her eye's widen in joy.

"Thank you," She smiled once more before turning her head enough to nose he belly after a tiny kick. Looking back to the other mare once more, she spoke." It's definitely a new experience. I can feel them moving with the life they have. and I've found that I'm hungry more often. Still I haven't had any cravings so far. It's a different feeling when I try to walk." She gave a small laugh. "I think I look like I waddle rather than walk." She moved around some to show what she meant still giving a bit of a waddle with every step. Her belly was something she still wasn't very use to yet. "My name's Shoshana by the way, though I also answer to Sho."

Nokomis was not one to giggle, learning new things was her goal in life. This is what lead up to her meeting quite a few Soq in the first place! Or so she figured, it was her destiny when Soq began appearing for conversations.. or beatings on occasions. But for the way the mare said it and demonstrated Noko just couldn't contain herself and let slip a small, almost childish giggle. " I wonder if all mares strut as you do when they're bulging with life?" Her eyes played like foals, whose pelts were glistening in the sun. A gleam of a Mother wanna be!
"I'd assume the appetite gain would arise. If I recall my teachings right, you feed all of you now?" Head cocked to the right, ears tilting forward and tail swishing, not to mention wings fluttering lightly with anticipation. "And they kick?" Once again, dramatic stare and all!

She nodded. "Yep! I feed all of us now and they're quite fond of trying to stretch out and kick my sides. It can be a real eye opener when you're trying to sleep and woof you get a hoof to the bladder you weren't expecting." She giggled some seeing the glint in the other mare's eyes. " You can feel my belly if you like while they're moving about." She grinned and turned her side to the other mare as she spoke her offer.

"Wooow." She said, her voice in pure awe. "That's alot of food!" Then the offer. An exchange of trust, curiosity and beauty. "I can, touch your belly!?" Excited beyond belief she gathered her wits about her and steadily lunged forward with grace and ease.Her nose wiggled at the belly a moment, then she pressed her warm head to it. She became very quiet and just listened. "Sounds funny!" She laughed softly.
Soon as she dragged her head away she saw something creepy, a body part of one of the foals must have moved because Sho's plump stomach suddenly found jagged parts. Baby horse parts! Noko was quick to bring her foreleg up and feel for the young ones. "Oh my!" She spoke, the conversations astonishment never leaving her tones.
"So amazing how life is made." A smile glued itself to her face and she stared with glittery eye's at Sho, almost not there. As if she were only paying attention to the young ones, so close attention that one could assume she was even feeling their heartbeats. It was true that all living creatures were very important to Noko, as she was the Angeni of Mother Nature, but foals were her prime love and passion.

She couldn't help but to chuckle at Nokomis' wonderment about the amount of food she was having to eat now. She nodded her head a he mare's question "I told you that you could so go ahead" She smiled pleasantly . she was happy to hear another so full of wonder about foals and new life. She stood there allowing the other mare to chatter and talk to her belly, not minding that it wasn't she who was in the lime light at the moment but her unborn children. It wasn't new the her that mares were some times very curious about how unborn foals felt while wiggling about. She's been equally curious about them before she'd found herself with foal. Back then she'd never dreamed that a one night stand would have ended in a happy accident.
