It doesn’t take long for Phaedrus to arrive. Within moments of the twins’ birth, the black and blue stallion appears at her side, nudging her affectionately with an ‘encouraging’ comment about her size. She snorts and bites back a sassy remark as her turns to look on at the foals with a surprised look that she has no doubt mirrors her own previous expression.
She chuckles as he attempts to recover himself. “You can say that again. Certainly explains a lot.” Few mares seemed to have pregnancy symptoms as extreme as hers had been, and with twins it makes a lot more sense. It’s rather difficult to carry around two extra bodies in your womb.
He drapes a gentle wing over her side, and she leans into the touch, realizing only now how exhausted utterly she feels. Pushing out two little bodies is quite a lot of hard work. “Thanks Phaedrus, but I can’t take all the credit.” They are half his blood after all!
She pulls herself away from Phaedrus as glint of light catches her eye, and she steps forward just in time to see the tail-less boy turn to bright, dazzling diamond. “Oh hell.” She watches in dismay as the diamond flashes, the disappears. “I guess the both of them take after me.” She’s not entirely sure why she feels so disconcerted by that idea. Hopefully they don’t take after their father too - two kids with diamond armour and elasticity abilities could get up to a lot of mischief if they felt so inclined.
She glances back at Phaedrus, smiling tiredly. “I haven’t named them yet … any ideas?”
A soft sound catches her attention, and she turns back around to see that both twins have taken a few steps towards her. She grins and steps forward to meet them, nuzzling at their tiny forms. “What a big day for the both of you, eh?”

Everything is just so big, and so new! The little black filly blinks cautiously at the strange world around her, taking in the long grass, the distant trees, and the lilting sound of birdsong in the air. She stays there for a moment, simply considering her new surroundings. Only moments before everything had been so dark and warm and comforting - with the constant beat of her mama and brother’s hearts in her ear.
This whole new world is just to strange.
Her brother’s movements catches her eye, and she forces herself back up onto shaky legs so that she can follow her brother. She wobbles, then stumbles over to the bay boy, squashing herself up against his rump as a particularly loud bird calls out, startling her. She instinctively pulls out her diamond armour, covering herself, though she’s as of yet unaware of what she’s doing. When she finally calms, satisfied the bird is not coming after her, the armour instantly disappears.
Panicked heart slowing, she turns back to look at the creatures her brother is inspecting. She slips along her brother’s side until she is standing right beside him, and looks up at the two big horses with thoughtful eyes. “Mama? Da?”
