((Rp with Cal and Sgina only))  Worry lingered in Sgina's mind as she traveled her normal path down the river towards the forest. She felt abit tired due to the life starting to form in her belly. How had this happened and was it a mistake? Was Vudeux going to take care of her or leave her now that this had happened. Her belly wasnt huge , but it was starting to display the fact that she was indeed pregnant with three no less. Sgina was frustrated unable to train or fight untill she gave birth, yet another stall on her dreams because of stupid dessions and actions she took.
"Oh what have I done...."

 Calamity was, as usual, merely moments away from dinner. Crouched low in the brush, he silently and deliberately spread his wings preparing to spring...
As if on cue, a rustling noise in a far bush snapped up doe's attention. She bounced away quickly, and Cal cursed loudly and stood back up at attention once more. "There's no way I'm chasing it. I'm not that hungry."
He looked over towards the noisy brush, feeling an odd sense of deja vu. "It had better not be who I think it is."
Peering through the shrubbery, he smirked with a mingeld sense of annoyance and irony. "You again!" he called. "You either need to learn some stealth or find a different path to walk! This isn't the first meal you've made for difficult for me."

Sgina growled as Calamity appeared yet another pain in her day.
"Oh go die in a pit Calamity, Ive got more problems to deal with then scaring off your meal everyonce and awhile. I walk this path everyday if you have a problem with it change your hunting pattern." Sgina's mucles were large for a mare. She looked ready to fight despite her belly's state.
She pinned her ears back and pawed at the ground abit waiting on what more Calamity might have to say.

"You'll not want to be keeping up that misguided habit of challenging your betters, mare," he smirked, "the added responsibility of motherhood means you ought to be thinking for 4...perhaps 5 even!"
He shook out his great mane and trotted down the small slope towards her. "But I must confess, this look actually does suit you, unlike many of the laden mared waddling about at the moment." He laughed heartily. Despite his objections with Selene's pregnancy, he couldn't deny how breathtaking she looked. There was something that burned in her eyes...the joy and expectancy.
Sgina likewise looked stunning, but in a much more feral, predatory manner. Impending motherhood made her look stronger, if that was possible.

Sgina grolwed once more but not at him so much as at her own belly. She had hoped he wont have noticed, but only a true idiot would not be able to tell, Rahu still didnt know, but she had been avoiding him at all cost.
"I can still fight regaurdless of my state and regaurding that of challenging my better thing I see no such stallion or mare before me so that point is mute." She came to a more relaxed pose seeing as he didnt seem as though even if she tried to get him to fight he wouldnt.
Sgina huffed abit as he remarked on how she looked, she hated how her growing belly ruined her mucles.
"Do not mock my position this is my mistake and I will not have you mock me for it. Despite warnings from others I will stand my ground and I will fight if need be, my strength only increased to proctect my burdens." Sgina cared for her future foals but she still had a different way of handling things from others.

"Child, you misunderstand me. I don't consider your foals a mistake, even if you do. And if the stallion that sired them does, well, the only mistake is choosing him in the first place. Your business is your own, and I'll not harass you. You aren't my daughter."
He flapped his wings idly and circled the mare. For some reason, he'd never noticed her transition to marehood. But nothing throws age into sharper relief that the starting of one's own family, and Cal nodded in superflous approval of her transformation. He smirked at a private thought he had no intention of lending voice to.
"You ought to relax a bit. Stress can't be healthy for those foals. So, who is the father?"

Sgina watched Calamity her ears flicking in curiousity.
"Yeah, telling Rahu is not something Im looking fowards too...."
Sgina dint know what is was about Calamity, but she was always able to talk to him strait and answer his questions. Perhaps it was the respect she held for Kalonas that allowed her to act that way around him.
He wondered what his smirk was about but shruged it off. As she thought about how Calamity spoke of the foals not being a mistake. She wasnt sure rather Vudeux thought it a mistake or not, but she was still smart enough to know their relationship was not the same as most mares and stallions. Versus love it seemed they more or less admired and respected each other. Sgina thought she had made a mistake not being of the foals, but that she had mistaken lust for love. Sgina sighed abit and looked to the ground.
"I dont think the foals themselves a mistake....just the events leading to me having them in the first place....He is a wind named Vudeux.I met him not to long ago and we were meeting secretly and things just kinda went from there." Sgina was sure what Calamity would say, but for some reason she wondered what he would think of her now.

"Secret trists in the dead of night?", his lip twitched in a condescending sneer, "somehow, I didn't expect you to be that type of mare."
He flicked his tail idly and eyed her carefully, wondering what to make of the girl. "You're just full of surprises, aren't you? By the sound of things, you aren't lifemating with Voodoo anytime soon, are you?"
"Tell Rahu, don't tell Rahu, he'll figure things out soon enough. You're already showing a bit. That stallion just seems to be a foal magnet...perhaps I ought to blame him for Selene's state as well?" He chuckled but the mirth didn't reach his eyes.
"Maybe now would be an opportunity to handle things with grace and maturity for once? It's what the grown-ups do, dearie."

Sgina raised her brow at how Calamity spoke of what type of mare she was.
"I suppose ....I cant explain myself to you though for not even I understand why I do the things I do or why I wish the things I wish. And No I think not, lifemating or so I am told are for thoses whom love each other and wish to spend all their life together and I am not so sure that is what Vudeux and I are.....Ive been avoiding Rahu he has yet to see my stay and he knows well enough to leave me alone when I do not wish to be found. So he has not bothered looking for me. And as to that I dout he would exspect me to ever do such a thing as to become pregnant. Selene is also to give birth? Well I could have seen that comming it was only a matter of time with a mare like her." Sgina laughed abit at Calamity's last responce.
"Grace and maturity is not something that I come by easly Calamity. That is something by now I would have thought you to know." Sgina flicked her tail holding a rather smug smirk on her face.

"A mare like her? Now, whatever could you mean by that?" His smile turned subtly to something more ominous and predatory. "You should know better than to talk about my family in such a way, Sgina. Implications...of a less-than-savoury sort...I've killed for less, know. What your tongue, pet."
His eyes that had just been sprakling with a longing to kill, dulled once more as Calamity recomposed his demeanor. "You owe Rahu more than to find out of this through whisperings and rumors. He's a bit of a father figure to you, is he not?"
He snorted, looking away into the dense woods. "It seems like only yesterday I was arguing with your mother, very pregnant with you and your sibling, Kimi, over the grave of the two-legger I killed as a foal. My my, how time flies. Randee will be a grandmother now. Does she know?"

"I did not mean it in a bad term Calamity, beleave it or not. She is a beautiful mare and has a sweet personality it is not hard to see how a stallion could find attraction or even love with her, but me its more suprising then you know, I think Ive made some wrong dessions, but there is nothing I can do about it now. The way I feel right now Calamity I doubt regaurdless of what say, I wouldnt fight back if you did attack........" Sgina then noticed the sparkle in Calamity's it gave her a chill, but it wasnt the feeling of being afraid, but she couldnt explain the feeling either. "I suppose I do, but I ashamed to talk to him about it......like Ive let him down in a way." Sgina's face snapped from soft to anger as her mother was mentioned. Though she had had that talk with her sister Kimi she still held bottled rage towards her mother.
"No she doesnt, Ive not seen the mare named Randee sence disowned me and Im not about to find her and tell her. She has no matter in it anyways do me a favor and dont mention that witch around me.....you killed a two-legger? Good one less to deal with ....why she care anyways?" Sgina flicked her tail not liking talking about Randee, but at the same time wanting to know why she was mad at Calamity.

"Disowned, were you?" Calamity's expression was mingled laughter and exasperation. "Mares are terribly dramatic creatures at their hearts, aren't they? Well I suppose the reasons for such an event to take place are valid and all, but I really must advise that you rethink that relationship. The bonds of family ought not prove so easily broken...even if you have been wronged by them."
Pride in family, friends, and race was such a fiercely held characteristic of the kalona he sometimes had trouble wondering how others could so easily dissolve those ties. His own kind, Rotschreck and Maeryn specifically, had wronged him and crossed him several times. Regardless, they were bonded to him by race, and he didn't see himself severing relations anytime soon. In fact, it was probably an appropriate time to pay the new family a visit. Good heavens, why on earth was motivating so many soquili to start families all of a sudden?
"You owe Vudeux nothing more than what you have already given. The bestowing of heirs to a stallion is a very high honor, and if he had any sense in his head he would worship you for doing so. Not having met him, I can make no claim on his character, but I doubt your judgement was too clouded for that stretch of time."
He stamped the ground assertively. "I believe I understand your feelings and situation, Sgina. It may seem difficult and uncomfortable now, but time adds valuable perspective. Besides, you're most likely too befuddled with horomones right now to think clearly at all."
He laughed, his green eyes shimmering.

Sgina respected what Calamity said about families and if Vudeux wasnt going to stay by her side like she had a feeling he wouldnt she would need help with the foals. She knew nothing of how to take care of them though Randee wasnt the perfect exsample of motherhood.
"I... know Calamity and after a talk I had with Rahu Ive decided I would talk to her....its just hard. With foals on the way it will be better to have a family for them. I...dont think Vudeux is going to be there for me....or the foals."
Family had never been very openly important to Sgina, though after being disowned she quickly found a Mother,Father, and sister to make up for what she had lost. It was not till she knew she was pregnant did she realize that a family was indeed important.
"...Vudeux....I beleave was nothing more then a one night stand gone wrong. We were to passionate about our simularities, Im a foolish mare. Ive let these foals down by not choosing a father that would be here for both them and me. For the first time in my life Calamity I can admit Im afraid. Not for myself but for these lives I hold with in me. I dont want them to be laughed at their whole life like I was, I dont want them to feel like there alone...." Sgina went quite worried she was speaking to much of her fears to Calamity. She then eyed him as he laughed and watched his eyes shimmer she twiched her ears lightly and frowned.
"What do you find funny in the matters we speak of ?"

"What I find funny...is this strange sort of dichotomy. From marehood to motherhood. It changes females. It has changed you, for the better I think."
Calamity nodded sagely. "You're finally thinking beyond yourself and your petty needs and wants. Not that I find anything wrong with selfishness. On the contrary, self-interest is my modus operandi. But it is a refreshing sight to see a mature, collected Sgina before me. It wouldn't bother me terribly to speak again on hopefully lighter subjects."

Sgina perked abit listening to what he said.
Had she really changed that much? She couldnt tell herself save for constantly doubting her dessions anymore. She gave him an odd yet sweet look as he spoke of speaking with her again.
" I changed before motherhood, you just havnt met me for a long time. I changed when I realzied I could care for others and still hold my hate that I cherish ever so much..... I would like it is we could meet again, even if I didnt act like it as a foal I really looked up to and admired you." Sgina flicked her tail and eyed Calamity wondering what other surprising thing he might say to her.
