 Aylin had made the long trip to the protection of her sisters once the aide of some upcoming temple priestesses had shown up to take over her duties. The trip had taken much longer than normal, her swollen belly taking its toll on her agility and energy. She had met with Aviania upon first arriving with the news. The oracle, obviously pregnant, had come to be with her sisters during birth and to deliver new foals into the Flock. Once the private meeting with Aviania had concluded, she sent for Zahraa to join her. She waited in nest that had specially constructed for labor and birthing comfort. She tried to get comfortable, at least as much as possible.

 The ringing chirp of a sister had pale ears flicking in interest. Zahraa' raising her head from where it had been resting on folded claws to look out within the nesting grounds for the source, though whom had called mattered little. It was a summons, and the commander was always eager to raise to beckon of her sisters, most specifically her queen and their wise oracle. And it was the later that wished to see her now.
Aylin's presence among them came as a bit of a surprise, and Zahraa' couldn't help but wonder why the priestess had left their long standing temple to pay them all a visit. Taraab and the queen had arrived back some months prior, which was something of a surprise in itself. The commander had thought perhaps her son would stay behind with the oracle as helper or pet, and although she was relived to have her son back within the central grounds of the flock, she was a little disappointed.
"I'm here," she called out ahead as she dropped from the trees beside the oracle's nest. Clearly puzzled by the request of her presence. "You've called for me, Sister?"

Aylin smiled as Zahraa made her way into the nest. She saw the slight worry on her sister's face. "Ease your nerves, dear Sister. I come bearing, what I hope, will be happy news for you and your ancestors."
She rolled slightly, readjusting. The swollen belly of the pregnant mare obvious now to any who looked. "Zahraa, as you know, I'm taking Taarab as my pet. I will be claiming him during my time here. I do ask that this remain between us and the Queen until the time comes for me to address Taarab about it." she paused for a moment,
"Also, as you can see I am expecting my first offspring... much to the surprise of myself. The spirits decided it would be of humor to keep the facts from me until I figure out the situation on my own," she laughed softly.
"Besides myself and the Queen, you are the first to know the facts of the upcoming births. You, my dear sister, are the grandmother of my foals. Taarab is the father. I have yet to reveal this fact to him. When I present him with his pet trinket, I will be sharing this news with him."
She stopped, looking over to the pale mare awaiting her response.

Pale ears perked at the reassurances of the other mare, and she was met with a smile from the commander as she wandered nearer, pausing at the edge of the nest. "Happy news, my sister? I'm always eager to hear such things." It seemed as of late the happy tidings had been generous, but there was a time not long ago where any news for the mare was bad. The lose of one of her sons had been a hard blow, but she was incredibly thankful to the great mother for smiling down upon Taraab in all his hopes and endeavors.
Pale eyes blinked as Aylin mentioned taking her son as her pet, and she shook her head even while smiling proudly. "I had not heard," she admitted, creeping forward the dark tips of her claws brushed the woven twigs of the nest. "I was worried perhaps you had not found him satisfactory when he'd returned with the queen." She'd been busy in truth, and not gotten much time to speak with her son or her dear queen. Otherwise such news would not be a surprise to her, pleasant or otherwise.
The swollen belly of her sister was indeed now very obvious, and the pale mare dropped her gaze, an eager little trill following her Aylin's confirmation that she was indeed with child. And not just any offspring, but beautiful babies of her own lovely line. There was an excited chirrup as the commander hopped into the nest and dropped down beside the Oracle. Curling onto her side and around that pregnant belly. The tip of her nose nuzzling gently. "Great Mother bless them." More babes, more beautiful little darlings. Zahraa' did so miss being a mother.
"I won't breath a word of it, Sister. This surprise shall be yours to deliver."

The oracle laughed, pleased with her sister's reaction to the news. "I have found Taraab more than satisfactory." she blushed just a little as she looked to Zahraa. "I had spoken with the Queen before she left about taken Taraab as my personal pet, this... This was just a little extra that I had not exactly planned for quite so soon." she laughed again. "I did not realize for some weeks after they departed exactly what had taken place. As I said, the spirits decided that this would be best left to discover on my own." She raised one brow in a quirky glance.
"I am glad that you approve of the situation, Zahraa. I was worried that you would not approve." she nuzzled her sister gently. "Now... Now I just hope that Taraab will be just as pleased with his new round of 'work' that is about to begin." she cracked into laughter once more. She was actually quite anxious to share the news with the male. "I think, perhaps after dinner this evening I will be calling him before myself and the Queen. Would you care to attend as I present him with his pet trinket and the news of his unborn?" she used her nose gently to brush back some of the blue feathered mane from Raa's cheeks.
