Aaron blinked at Aiden, staring in surprise. She'd sold Finn? Of course, he'd gotten back to the stable, what? A week ago? Something like that and had paid almost no attention to a horse that wasn't Comanche, Heart or Charlotte. That included Finnegan since t he pair had a mutual dislike for one another. The thoroughbred was thoroughly stuck up if nothing else, too prissy for Aaron to have ever bothered with him had he not been the horse Aaron had met Aiden with. Before Aaron could voice anything, Aiden was off in search of her apparently newly acquired mare, leaving Aaron with Spyro, Missy, Charlotte, Pal and Corona for company.
Smiling at her bubbliness, Aaron turned and leaned on Charlotte's stall door. Spyro was sitting next to him, Missy looking after Aiden curiously. Aaron occupied himself by watching Charlotte moving around in her stall with the two colts, Pal and Corona exploring their new but relatively small world. He really did want to ask to buy Pal but he didn't want to complicate things for Aiden. Her cousin had dibs first, always family and Aaron could fully understand that. Oh well. At least he could baby both of Comanche's sons when no one was looking.
Five minutes later the clop of horse hooves on concrete made Aaron look away from the threesome in the stall. Looking around he found a mare that was a lot like Heart. She was mostly bay with small splashes of white on her sides, much like Heart had but she was much more...tame than his wild rodeo rider. Her belly looked swelled from what Aaron assumed was pregnancy.
Aaron chuckled and approached the tied mare. "Exactly how new is she?" Aaron asked, raising an eyebrow as he ran a hand along the mare's neck, fingers barely brushing the well defined muscle. It seemed Aiden had been dabbling in the horse trade recently, at least while Aaron had been away and up to his neck with chores from his uncle and helping his sisters adjust to Ravenhook. "She looks good, maybe not as buff as Comanche or wild like Heart but you sure know how to pick your horses." Aaron slipped an arm around Aiden's waist, admiring the mare's good breeding. He had an eye for stock horses, what could he say? "Glad to know you have good taste" Aaron teased, leaning so his cheek rested on the top of her head.

Bell snorted, turning her head towards Aaron when his hand extended to stroke her neck. She huffed a few breaths on his arms before she turned back to look forward and hang her head lazily. She really was anything but lazy, being such an atheletic horse, but she was laid back. That and she was pregnant and not really up to being high strung at the moment.
Aidan smiled once more at her new mare and then looked up at Aaron as he rested his cheek upon the top of her head. Yeah, well.. I try. She chuckled, wrapping her arms around his mid section and resting her head against his chest, taking a deep breath to take in his scent. So, trail ride? She looked up at him again, only this time moving her head so she was looking directly up at him and he could no longer rest his cheek on the top of her head. She smiled up at him. Either that or I could just take advantage of you in the hay loft. She smirked, kidding of course... Or was she? She chuckled quietly, really hoping that no one was around to hear that, besides the horses, of course. But she doubted that they'd say much of anything to anybody.

Aaron smirked slyly, leaning down close to Aiden so his lips were almost touching hers. "If you're not careful cowgirl, Bella and Charlotte won't be the only ones knocked up" Aaron murmured, not meaning offense but just speaking the truth and teasing her. He didn't want her thinking he was calling her a slut or something. Far from, it was just that if she got pregnant, his uncle would tan his hide before he could comprehend the words "I'm pregnant" from Aiden. Still, he wouldn't the kind to cut and run even if his family would both disown him and kill him until he was so far in the ground he'd be sitting on the planet's core. Aaron caught Aiden's lips in a quick kiss before leaning back and slipping out of her arms, although it was a reluctant withdrawal on his part. Aaron winked and smiled. "Catch me on the trail and you can do whatever you want" Aaron said, amusement in his voice and a challenge in his eyes but just a challenge for a good time.
If she could catch up to him when they hit the trails, he was all hers whether that meant just snuggling or...more intimate acts out in the great outdoors. Turning on his heel, Aaron took off toward Heart's stall. He didn't know if Aiden would ride Bella when she was pregnant so he had to hurry. Comanche wouldn't be able to safely handle a gallop yet so he had to saddle Heart.
He slipped into the tack room and snagged up his saddle and bridle for the paint quarter horse before dodging out again. At her stall door, he unbolted it and slipped inside without closing it. Heart tossed her head in surprise as he slipped off her halter to replace it with a bridle and swung the saddle up over her back before ducking down to fix the girth strap so the saddle wouldn't come off and send him flying.
(after you post i'm going to make a post on the trail or do you want to save time and go to the mature contents board?)

She smiled to herself when he mentioned her getting knocked up. Oh, she wouldn't stress about it. Aidan had had 'lady' problems when aunt flo came around in the past, so her doctor had her put on the pill to try and regulate that problem a small bit, so the thought of a pregnancy scare never crossed her mind. I won't hold my breath for something like that. She chuckled, resting her forhead against his and kissing him back before she felt him slip away from her. She turned and looked at him, responding with a giggle to his whole 'catch me' extravaganza. Oh I see. She watched him scamper off the hearts stall, grabbing a leadline off of Charlotte's stall and quickly clipping it to Bella's halter and tying it to the other side.
She unhooked her from the cross ties and brought herself to Bella's side, grabbing the leadline and chunk of her mane in her left hand and bracing her other hand on Bella's back, hoisting herself up and onto Bella's back gently. She turned Bella around towards the exit of the barn and past Heart's stall. I believe it is you who must catch me. She smiled, gently nudging Bella's side and clucking, letting Bella trot her way out of the barn and then slowly land herself into a gallop towards the trails. She didn't doubt that he'd catch her on heart, especially since she didn't want to push Bella too hard when she was carrying a baby, so she kept her slow. Well, slow for Bella. Bella was a rather quick little girl.
Aidan kept a chunk of her mane in her left hand, steadying herself on the mare's back. She wasn't used to her strides just yet, so she had no idea how to even herself out and ride them, so for now she needed the guidance of her mane to balance her, or at least give her the idea that she was balanced.
