Mary had been covered by the gorgeous stallion Screaming Nightmare, and now the time that her foal would be due was drawing closer Kanta had mooved Mary into a birthing stall, about three weeks before her due date so she could get settled in. Sometimes Kanta would bring her other mare into the barn so that Mary wouldn't be completely lonely, but most of the time it was just Kanta and Sake here. They were here from the crack of dawn untill well as late as possible. But tonight Kanta had received signs from Mary that the foal would be soon on it's way into the world, but she wouldn't call Amelia untill she was certain that Mary was in labour.
Kanta wore simple old jeans and a t-shirt with her usual Wrist brace, elbow brace and shoulder brace. With a jumper and coat close at hand, Kanta also had blankets and stuff in the car should she need them, but hoped she wouldn't. Time slowly passed by, Sake following every footstep of his human as sometimes she would pace the barn's aisle. Others she would walk to the tack room to check the time for momnts forgetting that he had her mobile on her. Everything needed was outside Mary's stall so Kant really had nothing to do.
Her mares scream soon called her back to the barn and where Mary now lay on the lthick bed of sawdust panting and snorting. Sometimes getting up and pacing around her stall, her stomach was huge so Kanta had to expect a large foal and so in turn a difficult birth. But the first thing she done was call Amelia. Yeah ti was really early morning, like three am but the girl would surly want to know that the mare she wa expecting a foal from was going into labour. The phone call was quick as halfway through Mary screamed out again. "Hi it's Kanta, Bloody Mary's owner. Sorry about the time but the foal is on it's way. I've now gotta go. Sake sat at the barn entrance ready to let his owner know that the other human was here, that was if she would even come...

Amelia was sleeping something deep she had been stressed lately with the coming of the foals and she had stayed up to late and barely managed to get in her little froggy pjs before crashing with Pooka her shepherd mix right beside her cuddled into her side. However next thing she knew the phone rang and she fell out of bed fumbling in the dark for the phone saying lovely curses under her breath before picking it up her answer machine getting it. Amelia sighed and fell back going back to sleep then stopped eyes widening as she got up in a blur of motion in a hurry to get out of the house. She was down her stairs grabbing her light jacket stepping into boots Pooka the pup right on her heels as she shot out the door groggily. She made it to the barn in record time sliding into the stall door saying a loud MOTHER *beep* she got several looks from horses and only a glare from the skinny girl in her disheveled state and not a happy camper. When she showed up her jacket hanging off one shoulder hair a mess all in a wad on top of her head. Pants legs jerked to her knee and the other down. She looked like a bum who you just woke up. Even now she had a knot on top of her head forming. She went over to the birthing stable and breathed in relief before plopping on the cement waiting patiently. |

Sake barked once as the girl he had been expecting came running into the yard, and soon he was beside the girl running over to the large birthing stalls again. Laying down beside her he put his head on her lap before looking up at his human. Kanta was in the stall for a short time calming her mare, but soon left it when she heard Sake bark once. Turning to face Amelia smiling slightly but also an exausted look on her face. "Sorry about the call, I didn't know if you wanted to be here. She started showing signs earlier but I wasn't sure if she was ready so left it a little longer. Tho by the sounds and looks of things she will soon be ready." Kanta said quickly before yawning, she had been here since six am, the previous morning. She was so exausted

Amelia looked at the dog and petted his dark head softly. She had purple bag under her eyes from lack of sleep which didnt look as bad as they did before. She sighed inwardly looking at the mare through the boards in the birthing stall. She seemed huge "what did the vet say because she looks big for one foal" she said hoping to god it was just one foal or they were going to be here all night and she really wanted to go back to her bed at this particular moment and next thing she knew she was being showered in licks from Pooka. "POOOOOKA leave me along Im sleep deprived" she said rubbing her face lightly and finally the pup pulling a laugh from her lips. She looked up at Kante curiously as she spoke to her. "Well you could have just called me I would have came down here and watched with you not alot we can do though" she said petting the hyper sweet pup. |

A sereies of squeals and nickers flew from Mary's stall as she thrashed around in the sawdust. This distracted Kanta enough for her to be unable to answer Amelia's question or give a quick reply to her words spoken. Mary was up on her feet again, sweating like mad the mare bolted to the door and begged her human to tell her what was going on, nipping at her humans t-shirt, pulling at her hair and even licking her face. Mary was scared more than anything else and this later could cause problems. Kanta stroked her mares face sowly talking to her trying to calm her down. Soon the mare pulled away to start pacing around her stall again, Kanta slipped into the stall leaving the gate unlocked for Amelia to follow if she wanted to. Mary was now laying on her side panting slowly making her way to her mares head Kanta kneeld there allowing her mare to rest her head in Kanta's lap.
An hour at least passed of Mary kicking out or screaming in pain, and yet only once did she nip her humanhard enough to draw blood, not a serious bite just one that is easily noticed. Mary finaly started pushing the first of TWO foals from her body. She was shaking slightly already exausted but she now knew what she had to do, and so her body took over. Given another half hour the first foal was delivered, a black filly. Mary was soon laying on her belly, still huge and swollen anyone would've noticed that her size was over what it should be. But as the next hour followed a bay filly was born and Mary was free from the worst of her troubles. Now standing and cleaning her foals Kanta looks at Amelia. "Can you bring the towels and brushes in for me?" she asked trying to hep the black filly finds it's mothers teats so it could nurse.

This birthing process was longer due to the fact the sheer size of the mares belly gave an indication to that and not only that it was her first time. Amelia rubbed her neck and stayed outside the stall not wanting to scare the mare and over crowd her. Amelia was leaning against the wood of the fence when she first her the water break and the little hooves showing through and the black hooves which excited Amelia in her half asleep state and Pooka sitting on her foots asleep. Amelia sighed and nodded heading to car to get a mere blankets and brush. She found them quickly and headed back handing the blankets and such too Kanta. Amelia rubbed her eyes she was exhausted what time was she wondered to herself secretly. "They loook healthy and good to go" she said taking an interest in the black filly she would make a good brood mare in the future perhaps even be just like her father say for the white socks and white star between her eyes. |

"Here would you towel off the other one and help her up?" Kanta took all the towels apart from two which she left with Amelia so the girl could help the other foal, seeing as the foal she currently had was already nursing happily whlie the other still fought to stand up. Kanta slowly started towling off the black filly's coat and slowly revealed the white markings as white as a pose to mucky. Once the filly wa dry Kanta draped a large towel over her to keep her from getting cold while Kanta brushed her mares sweaty coat couckly to releive her of the mess.
"There gorgeous, well like you said you get first pick, I personaly like the black one but you made a fair deal." Kanta said glancing at Amelia and the two foals from behind Mary who was licking her filly's head once the young horse had finnished nursing and was now investigating the area around her.
