"I'm sorry, mommy," Gemma tensed, feeling her mother nuzzle her affectionately. "I'll try to understand. I'll try to understand why I must drink milk and take naps and not talk to other horses. I'll try."
Layla nodded. "I love you... I'm sorry for treating you like a baby, it's just-" Layla sighed, "I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you. I promise you can see Aspen, but for now please continue nursing...".
"I love you, too," Gemma whispered, bowing her head slightly. For a few minutes she nursed. Even though the taste of milk was horrid now, she did it to please Layla.
