Birdsong had officially arrived and this year would be one that he would remember for the rest of his life, many memories had been created between the Pegasus and the dappled unicorn over the period of a single night. Along with the memories there was the possibility that both of their lives would be forever changed, not that this would be a bad thing. The last couple of weeks had been rather rough for the stallion with the many things upon his plate but now he felt as if a page had been turned, a new chapter had begun. The last thing that he would have expected from the previous night had happened leaving him deep in thought trying to figure out what was next for the pair. In a year’s time he could very well be a father, the idea while exciting was also frightening for he feared he would never live up to expectations as to what a father should be like. His own father had been nothing but a nightmare; all he knew was that he could never turn into such a monster knowing how much trauma such a situation caused for anyone involved. The only problem with all this was to him he pictured a stallion as one that had something to show for themselves, a herd of their own, land for their family to grow up in… So far he had neither of these things, what did that make him? A failure?

Cringing slightly as he felt Kiara’s sharp claws kneed into his back he cast a backward glance to the cub to find her as happy as she could be trying to find the comfiest place to curl up. Some of the behaviours of the feline he would never understand but there was no possible way he could hold anything against her despite that she was about as stubborn as he was. Shaking his head with a soft chuckle he turned his head to glance over to Parelia as her words filled the air between them. It took a moment for him to clue into what she was referring to but even longer for him to attempt to decipher whether this was a question with one right and one wrong answer or whether it was just a trick question. Gender? Wings? Horn? None of that mattered to him in the slightest, should it?

“Honestly.. I really couldn’t care less about whatever the gods decide for us. The only thing that I am concerned about is that you are both healthy and well. Nothing else matters to me more than that.” He commented truthfully as his eyes swept over Parelia’s delicate frame protectively. Should anything happen to her or their possible child he would forever hate himself. He found it strange that before he had met this mare he had always dreamed of finding someone like her and starting a family of their own, but now that it could be happening it scared him half to death. Knowledge and experience was comforting to the stallion and with this kind of thing he had neither experience nor knowledge of what was to come. It’s not as if there was anyone he could really talk to about this.. it would just seem awkward to go up to another stallion or mare and ask about something so personal.

Watching his playful lover kick up her heels joyfully and take off towards the water made him laugh happily, it was great to see her so happy for once. Giving her a couple seconds head start he kept his pace before he could hold back no longer. Tossing his head as he reared up he threw himself forward in pursuit of the cremello Pegasus as she entered the water with a splash. Kiara growled in protest as she clued into what was happening and leapt from his back onto a nearby rock to keep herself safely out of the water. Licking her paw she turned in a circle before settling down in the sun to groom herself.

Leaping over the bank in one swift movement the grey felt his hooves sink into the soft sand as the warm salty water exploded from underneath his feet splashing up around him. Looking over to Parelia with an innocent smirk he shook the water from his face before wading over to where she stood gently nipping her hindquarters playfully. “At least you picked a better occasion to go for a swim this time.” He joked pressing himself up close to her smaller frame.
