It screeched again and tried to get up with its deformed legs again, but it only hurt worse and seemed to ruin its hindlegs more.

"It wasn't my choice, alright!" she said sharply, quickly calming down afterwards and relaxing her tone. "You know those stallions who killed the newer mare's foal? Well one of them came along and decided to attack me while the others held me back with their fat, heavy bodies. That's why I looked like I was gaining weight, and that's why my breathing was raspier. I tried to escape, but they were too heavy." She paused and sighed. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, I just didn't want to hear your reaction. I didn't want you to hear about it and go after them. They'd kill you."

Adam pulled the foal next to him, gently making it lay down in a non-painful way.

"You should have... Told me earlier. I want to know when something like this happens, not when the foal's already born!..." Adam sighed.

It squeaked fearfully as it was pulled away from its mother, exposing its curled over front legs and abnormally small, mishapen hooves.

"I was meaning to but...It was too painful for me. I'm sorry," she said, her glum eyes focused on the heavily deformed, runtish foal. "Poor thing," the mare mumbled.

"Stop! I'm your dad!" Adam whispered softly, cuddling the colt.

Adam shook his head. "Whatever. What's done is done. We raise him as mine." He said simply.

Phoebe nodded, her eyes still focused colt. He cried out again, in slight pain when Adam accidently touched over his front leg while cuddling him. "What shall we name him?" she asked softly.

"I dunno.." He sighed, moving so he wasn't touching the colts arms.

The filly nursed quietly.

The colt sighed in relief and let his body go limp as he lie on his back so his curled and mishapen legs wouldn't be touched. His already shut eyes had never opened, the lids shuttering slightly but not going up due to a few threads of skin holding the top down.

Phoebe willingly let her nurse and continued to stare right at the poor, obviously hurt foal.

"Phoebe, staring won't help him... It's just creeping me out." He whispered.

The filly continued nursing.
I gtg!

"I can't help it," she murmurred, taking her eyes off of him and looking to Adam. "I've just never seen such a tragic thing in my life. He's so hurt and helpless, and it's even more devastating that this is my foal..."

Phoebe nuzzled her and then tucked her head away, dozing off into a deep troubled sleep. The colt, who could never actually swallow most of the milk from a strange cave-like area in his throat that caught it, eventually tilted his oddly shaped head downwards and slid it black up to his mouth. He coughed it out and screeched in pain again as he accidently sat on one of his front legs with too much weight.

Goodnight Duck!

"You could name the little foal Beagan," a tiny voice beside Phoebe suggested. "It means 'small' in Scottish. Then again, you could name it Paul, Demi, Piccolo, or Vaughan, which mean the same in Latin, French, Italian, and English. Although," it considered in a thoughtful voice. "Demi also means half. Perhaps that would be a nice name for the foal. But personally, I'd choose Piccolo."

Sorry, I didn't see this!
No, nothing happened!

Aspen licked the colt, then smiled at Americus.

(Lol, that's totally fine!)

Americus cautiously took a small step forward, his glossy coat shining in the sunlight. "So, have you named him?" Americus asked with a small smile.
