She hadn't really meant to make Remy go away but she did need time to think. It wasn't that she was mad about what had happened and she knew it was partially her fault but it was partially his too. They were his foals and he already had a family. She couldn't figure out why he didn't understand why she was upset.
Males were just stupid or something. That had to be it. He probably never would get why she was upset about him already having a family and now them having one so soon. Yes it was partially her fault but it was his too and he should have been more concerned.
She'd just have to think things over and figure out how she was going to handle everything and how he was going to have to balance two families. His other foals would be older soon and they'd eventually want freedom from their parents so maybe it wouldn't be as big of a deal. Though she'd probably have to be helpful to the other foals if Remy was going to stay with her.

Nostalgia was livid. She had spent days upon days searching for Jean, only to find him walking around casually, as if nothing had happened between them. He hadn't looked worried for her safety and well being, in fact, he didn't seem to even notice that they had been apart from each other for almost weeks!
"Some kind of stallion he is," She muttered to herself under her breath. The alicorn ghost stomped her hooves angrily into the ground, the chains on her back legs clinking against one another as she walked. Her limit had finally been reached. Enough was enough. If she couldn't depend on Jean-Claude to be there for her when she needed him, then she would have to rely on herself for her's, and now her future children's needs. No more weepy ghost. She had always wanted foals of her own, and though the circumstances surrounding her situation weren't a dream come true, she had gotten her wish, and she would be the best mother she could be, with or without Jean to be around as father.
Stallions. Who needed them anyways? All they were good for was doing their part in baby-making, from all Nos could tell. She snorted and angrily jerked her back leg forward, the heavy chains sailing behind her as she continued walking down the path, attempting to calm herself down.

Her ears twisted followed by her head as she heard something strange. It sounded like rattling but no sort of rattle she'd ever heard. Something far different than the bones that the two-leggers made things out of. Brow creasing she headed in the direction of the noise.
It probably wasn't smart to go off in the direction of what could be trouble now that she had more to think about than herself but curiosity won out. She had to know what that was.
As she got to what she though was closer to the sound she noticed something, well funny, off in the distance. Whatever, well whoever, that was seemed to glow slightly. "What in the world ..."

Nostalgia continued storming around, ignorant and oblivious to everything but her thoughts. That, and the ever-tightening dress that clung to her stomach like a second skin. Why was she wearing the damned thing anyways?
Tossing one of her dark braids back and out of her vision, a green figure caught her eye, standing out from the dull brown colors of the trees. Was someone spying on her?
Nostalgia was about to get very cranky, when she recalled that just seconds earlier, she had been clomping and stomping around the wooded area, probably causing more noise and commotion than she had intended to. As long as this stranger had nothing to do with anything that remotely reminded her of Jean, she believed she could hold her temper and attitude in check. Besides, this onlooker might provide for some much-needed distraction away from french stallion.
"Hello?" She called out, her usually quiet voice growing bolder and louder, "Hellllllllooooooo?"

"You only have to say it once you know" The mare was strange looking but at least she didn't seem all to dangerous. Pissed maybe but not dangerous. Weren't the ones with horns suppose to be kind and the like? She remembered stories about them but she'd never seen one herself.
"I don't think it's a good idea to make that much noise. You might attract attention of the very unwanted kind." She tossed her head slightly as she walked away form the trees toward the other mare. If she was going to get herself into trouble she was going to do it properly and not hide in the forest.

Nostalgia immediately regretted snapping at the mare, and wondered what had gotten into herself. She had never had an attitude with anyone or anything before, so why was she starting now?
She watched as the mare stepped forward, exposing more of her green and yellow body, her brown and white hair softly moving from side to side as she walked.
"Pardon my rudeness," Nostalgia responded, her voice lowering back down to it's usual quiet level. "I haven't been acting myself as of late, and I'm afraid my foul attitude has come down upon anything that crosses my path."
Bowing her head in greeting, her horn continued to flare it's ethereal light and a few more of her dark braids fell down onto her face. "My name is Nostalgia." she introduced herself, as her head rose back up. Her lavender eyes met with the mare's green ones, and she forced on a smile, though her attitude was far from cheerful.

Nostalgia? That was interesting. Maybe the strange name had something to do with her strange appearance also. "I'm Rogue. Forgive me but .... i have never seen someth..someone like you."
The glowing and the horn and the wings and her strange clothing was all far from anything Rogue had ever encountered. Shaking her head slightly she waited on the others answer. It was probably nothing Nostalgia was probably just from somewhere else and so she seemed different.

Nostalgia's ears twitched as she watched the green and yellow mare look at her intently. It took her a few moments to remember the aura around herself and the little details that made her different from a regular Soquili. She had spent so much time in this land already, she had begun to forget what she truly was, and what she was created to do. That, and her current stomach issues were a constant reminder of just how 'alive' she was capable of being.
Giving a wince as she felt one of the babies kick, she forced out yet another smile to her new companion. "It's quite alright... I know I'm a rather.. surprising mare, at first sight. I must admit, however, that you yourself are intriguing to look at. Pardon my rudeness, but you greatly remind me of a snake, with your green skin and yellow underbody."
She continued to study the mare, silently questioning the "X" mark on her cheek, but decided to not comment on it, figuring it was a birthmark, as she had seen similar marks on Soquili she had met previously.

She had never been compared to a snake before. Remy always said she looked like spring and so had the stupid stallion Nuka though she had to admit with her two toned color it made sense. "Thank you .... i guess" She smiled slightly at the other mare.
"You ... seemed upset about something." No one really made that much noise unless they were in trouble or angry. Leaving off comments on how the two of them looked she decided being friendly was better. "You aren't hurt are you?" She did have chains on her legs so she could have been caught by someone.

Asking her if she was upset brought back a flourish of unhappy memories, and Nostalgia's eyes narrowed in anger at the thought of Jean-Claude.
"Yes," she said quietly, wary of what she might say if she didn't think about her words first, for fear she might go on a tirade of rants in front of Rogue. But then again, who better to hear her problems than a total stranger? Maybe if she spoke of her issues, it would calm her down a bit?
Her lion-like tail flipped from one side to the other anxiously, and Nos worried that she had already botched up her chance at a good first impression with this mare.
"I'm afraid you're seeing a very different side of me, Rogue, and I apologize that we couldn't have met on better terms. You've caught me in a very...well, infuriated state.... " she paused, then took a deep breath, and blurted out, "I just discovered I'm pregnant, and I must say, the father is not so highly thought of at the moment."

Her nose scrunched slightly. "You too huh?" She turned her head and looked at her stomach. "I .... seem to have that problem at the moment. Though .... i don't really know if i'm made at Remy or just startled."
She turned to look back at Nos. "Sorry, i asked you what your problem was and then went off on mine. What did your, he, do?"

Her eyebrows rose. Another pregnant mare?
Nos looked towards Rogue's stomach and spotted the noticable plumpness, and wondered why she hadn't recognized it before. She 'wore' it well; it seemed so natural for Rogue, being pregnant, unlike Nostalgia, who had to struggle with her tight uncomfortable dress threatening to rip by its seams from her bulging stomach.
She assumed this 'Remy' was the stallion responsible for Rogue's current state, and wondered if their relationship was anything like hers and Jean's.
"It's more like, what did he NOT do," Nos muttered, the grouchy, bitchy feeling coming over her again. "Long story cut short: We meet. He's a handsome stallion with even more handsome words, and, of course, I fall head over hooves for him. He convinces me to um... err... well, you know... and then he leaves."
Nostalgia paused, feeling her cheeks flush at the thought of the memory of the two together, and shrugged it off to continue, "And when I mean leave, I mean LEAVE. I find out I'm pregnant... and there's no Jean-Claude. Not here, not there, not anywhere. And when I do find him, it's like... it's like I wasn't even missed to begin with."
Her heart sank as she spoke. Did the stallion who convinced her to mate with him truly love him after all? She thought she knew what love was... but did she really? Or perhaps she jumped into things far too quickly than what was good for her, and as a result, she was more miserable than before. If he left her once, who was to say he wouldn't leave her and the children again, once they were born?
She grew silent, her thoughts overwhelming her stressed out mind, then reality checked back in and she remembered that she had an audience.
"I beg pardon, Rogue," She stammered, ashamed she had ranted and ignored the other mare, "I didn't mean to trail off in thought like that. You said you were mad at, Remy, was it? What happened to you, if you don't mind me asking?"

Her eyes had widened slightly as Nostalgia spoke. At least Remy hadn't done that to her. He'd made it clear that he would be around for the foals and her opinion on it be damned. That was better than leaving her in the dust and the thought made her smile slightly.
"Well i'm starting to think i was more overworked about figuring out i was pregnant than actually angry at him. He just didn't seem to understand why i was upset about such a surprise." She kicked one hoof against the ground.
"Not as bad as, Jean did you say? Whatever his name is. If he's acting like that then i doubt he deserves even being given a name." She took another step toward Nostalgia. "He should have been worried about you."

Nos smiled as she watched and listen to Rogue. Her head tilted curiously as she heard her words.
She hesitated, but curiousity got the better of her, so she asked, "Why are you upset about it? I admit, I may not be so delighted about it now, but I was thrilled when I first found out. Perhaps I was too naïve at the beginning, and then discovered how foolish I had been with my actions?"
She couldn't help but appreciate the kindness of the mare's words as she spoke of her estranged mate. "Perhaps he should have worried, yes. But, if he had, then perhaps I would have never discovered just how young and foolish I had been and the consequences that came of it."
She shifted around, the chains on her back legs giving off a low rattle, as her swollen belly strained her back muscles. "But..." she said quietly, as she thought and compared both her and Rogue's situation, "But I assume Remy is very pleased with this turn of events? How does he treat you, Rogue?"

"I was upset because it was, well, a surprise." She huffed slightly and she looked up at the clouds. "It's taken a long while for me to ... well agree that Remy's not so bad. He doesn't seem like the type that could be tied down as it were to one other and a family." She hadn't wanted to trust him at first but he had been true to his word so far.
She had wanted to be mad at him because if they hadn't done what they did then this wouldn't have happened but she was happy that she was going to be a mother. Wasn't that was every girl was suppose to want?
"He is ... he's happy about it." She hung her head slightly. "He almost yelled at me for being mad at him because i was upset. "He told me that he would be there for me even if i didn't want him around. I think he really likes the idea of being a father ... well he already is a father, maybe he likes the idea of being, or us having a family"
