Kaliska studied her baby's face. "Maybe something more masculine. I think he's gonna look like you." she smiled at Brenk.
_____________________
"So should I yell that now?" Barrett asked.

Hannah leaned back against a couch, holding the smallest chick of the bunch. She crooned softly to it, while it buried itself in her palm. (I love when they do that.)
_________________
Jesslyn gave him a friendly smile, "Nice to meet you too."

"I'm still working it out.." Jasmine waved him away with a hand. "I'm not entirely sure how it's gonna work, but it WILL work." she smiled again at Ferris. "Don't worry though."
_____________
Braxton smiled at her, and all of his confusion fell away. He realized, he did love Lana.

Chester hugged Lexus, and kissed her cheek. "Oo! This is the best part!" he nearly squealed as the scene in the movie changed.
[/QUOTE]
"Maybe... they are both good lookin." He smiled proudly. "Ronin?"
___________________
"Yes.. after we crawl out of here." She stood up and worked her way up the rock.
_________________________
(lol yeah or when the crawl up to your neck and try ti burrow there
Little fluffballs)
Noonan looked over. "Can I hold one?"
________________
"K everybody have a seat.. got plenty of bales to sit on.. I got the goodies here." Thrain pointed to a pile of roasting sticks and, the marshmallows, and other food supplies. He smiled at Jesslyn.
________________________
"Okay.. but I think if they want to they can work it out." He chuckled.
___________________________
"I hope I fed the cow enough earlier. I gave her a big pile because I wasn't certain." She informed as they neared the farm house.
______________________-
She startled then lightly smacked his arm. "Daddy you are so funny." She softly giggled.
"Oh I like that name.." Kaliska nodded, and kissed Ronin's cheek. He squirmed, and made a soft sound.
__________________________
Barrett vaulted up on top, crouched and looked around, then jumped off. He was feeling very intense in this game of hide and go seek. Then he olly olly oxen free, and turned to smile at Myrna.
__________________
(Uh huh! So cute!)
Hannah looked up, slightly surprised. "Of course." she gave him a small smile.
_____________________
Jesslyn smiled back, then moved out of the way for a older colt. The foals came behind him, and all grabbed sticks. Jesslyn sat down and waited for them to be done.
______________________
"Ha. Ha. No." Jasmine folded her arms again. "Not happening. Dad is too nice to say no. He'll just put up with it, and Lana might get an idea in her head that somethin's going on between them." her brows furrowed. "Nope. Not happening on my watch."
____________________________
"That's good. Thanks Lana." Braxton thanked her, and then they boarded the shuttle. "Hm, haven't ridden one of these in awhile."
____________________
Chester grinned at her, and watched his movie. Once the scene was over he blew out a sigh and turned to her. "How are you feeling?" he asked her.
"I can't get over how tiny they are." he smiled. "And our little girl?"
___________________
Myrna took his hand and then ran with him back to the stump.
The girl that was it started counting.
Myrna looked around for a direction to go.
___________________
Noonan returned her smile then took a green chick and cuddled with it.
(I know.. makes me want to hatch more I might just do that lol)
______________________________
Ferris covered a snicker and turned his head away trying not to bust up laughing.
_______________________
"Yeah.. you must not get away much." She took a seat. "I admit I was in the same boat until I had to come to the hospital to see you."
_________________
Lexus stared at the floor a while. "Broken.... but happy I chose not to give you up and run away with him."
Kaliska smiled. "Maybe Annabelle? I've always liked that name."
____________________
Barrett spotted a good hiding place in a clump of dense bushes, and gently took Myrna's upper arm. He hurried them over and jumped behind it.
_____________________
"That's Daisy." Hannah told him.
(Sometimes I am soooo tempted.)
____________________
Jesslyn then reached for a stick and carefully slid a marshmallow on it.
____________________
Jasmine started giggling.
_______________
"I didn't.... but now I guess we both will." Braxton smiled at Lana.
_____________________
Chester's face saddened. "I'm sorry Lexi." he put his arm around her. "Someday, you'll meet some stallion who'll treat you right. Who'll treat you like a mare's s'pposed to be treated; with respect." he told her.
"Anna.. I like that.. Ronin and Anna." he kissed Kalska's cheek,
_______________________
Myrna snuggled close to him as they waited.
____________________________
"Ah.. Daisy nice to meet you." He chuckled.
(I know...)
__________________________
Thrain almost copied,then took a seat next to Jesslyn. "SO do you like your lightly toasted or fire crisped?"
___________________
"You are too cute Jaz." Ferris chuckled.
__________________
"I shuld show you that nice soup restaurant we went to.. you know the one I brought back for you in the bread bowl? That would be a nice outing." She suggested.
The shuttle landed.
______________
Lexus started crying onto Chester's shoulder. "I gave him my heart.. and it hurts... I wish it would just go away... make it go away daddy."
(okay my eyes are getting glassy)
Kaliska hugged him with one arm. "Brenk, Kaliska, Ronin and Anna." she sighed happily.
_____________________
Barrett peeked through the leaves, waiting to see the girl who had counted.
___________________
Hannah just watched, a small smile on her lips.
P)
__________________
A small washed over Jesslyn's face. "I'll show you how I like mine." she extended the stick toward the fire, letting the marshmallow become engulfed in the flames. The sky was faded to a dusky black now. Jesslyn yanked the stick backwards when the marshmallow caught fire. She blew it out, waited until it was cool to touch, and pulled off the outside blackened skin, then put it in her mouth. The marshmallow was a gooey white. "Soooo good."
__________________
Jasmine turned slightly pink, and grinned. "Thanks. You aren't too bad yourself."
________________
Braxton smiled. "That would be really nice." he nodded.
________________
Chester only held her, not saying a word.
()
"A whole family." He stoked his tiny babes.
____________
I was a while before she passed their direction. She listened carefully as she snooped around.
*tiny snore*
__________________________
"You are a cute little fluff ball." Noonan nuzzled the chick. "Too bad you won't be like this forever."
____________
"My kinda mare.." He did the same with his then stuck it back in and laughed. "It's the best."
__________________________-
"WHy thank you dear." Ferris made his girly voice and bat his eyes.
_________________-
They were almost home. "Oh.. I wish this wasn't so far sometimes." Lana finally complained.
__________________
Lexus cried herself to sleep snuggling with him.
Kaliska smiled. (Timeskip a little later?)
______________________
Barrett elbowed Myrna sharply, but gently. He put a finger to his lips, telling her to be quiet.
________________
"Well when they grow, you get eggs." Hannah smiled. "Mmm.. fresh eggs."
___________________
"Yup.. that's why I do it." Jesslyn chuckled, though her mouth was full. She put a hand over her mouth while she chewed, and stuck in a new marshmallow.
_____________________
Jasmine nodded politely. "Of course dearie."
_______________
"Almost home." Braxton let her lean against him, as they headed up the dirt road. Soon, he opened the door for her, and ushered her inside.
___________________
Chester turned the movie down a little, so it wouldn't bother her. He was deep in thought, and very troubled.
(yup)
Malanie held her grandaughter baby talking.
Brenk was making breakfast while Kaliska got to rest in his favorite chair.
_________________
Myrna was embarrassed. The girl walked right by them.. Once down a way Myrna prepared to bolt for the safe.
_______________________
"I like that.." Noonan smiled. "Do you like Pan bread?" (pizza)
__________________
"You seem happy, it looks good on you." He grinned.
_________________
"Jaz.... when we get to go back home.. I would like you to talk to your father about your feelings about.. us." He wanted Braxton's permission to court her.
_______
"Oh.. she went for the couch first. "Oh that's better." She rested. "I need to get this brace off. It feels so tight." She fiddled to unlatch the thing. "Thank you my gentleman for helping me all this way back." She smiled at Braxton.
_____________
(timskip)
Lexus had the tests done then just ran to her room after. (name name name) Marriane the invetigations offcier set down Lexus' bag on the table. "Chester can I see you a moment?"
Kaliska held Ronin, wrapped in soft baby blankets. Her head nodded, though she tried to stay awake.
_________________________
Barrett looked at her, met her eyes and grinned. With a blink, he set off sprinting, telling her to follow with a wave of his hand.
_______________________
"I've never had that before.." Hannah shrugged. "But I like lots of different foods." she looked down at the chick.
______________________
"I am happy." Jesslyn said, watching her marshmallow burst into flames. "And I like it. I'm feeling normal again... thanks to you." she looked at him and smiled again.
__________________________
"O-ok.." Jasmine's brows curled up in slight confusion. "But... what do you mean.. 'feelings for us'?" she asked.
______________________
Braxton was heating hot water for tea. "No problem." he smiled.
____________________
Chester was going to go to Lexi, but then stepped forward when Marrian called him. He looked worried. "Yes?"
(done that.... would fall asleep while nursing them almost every time and often when not. They are so warm and cozy.)
"They are perfect babies Kaliska.. just perfect." She smiled.
_______________
She dashed off with him. The gal that was it. Turned in pursuit but didn't have Myrna's speed. He heart pound as she bound for the stump.
______________________
"Okay I can order vegetarian style." Noonan grinned then holding Daisy got up to fetch his comm.
______________________
Thrain gave a part smile as he looked down. "All I did was encourage you.. you healed on your own.. by your will." He finished his marshmallow. Then stuck some of the stick soft white substance on the tip of her nose and grinned.
_____________________
Ferris face palmed in embarrassment. "Okay.. her it is.. I asked your dad for permission to court you. He said he would talk to you and see how you feel about it." He turned beet red and spoke very fast, releasing a breath when he finished.
____________
Lana popped it off finally and her leg was swollen from her not resting it enough. "Braxton.. how are you going to keep up with the farm? Should I see if someone can come help you?"
______________________
Marriane took a deep breath. "You know the age of maturity is 25 but some fillies go later or earlier.. I think I know why he.. lacked self control on th night in question... having already been previously intimate with her.. she umm... she's in foal." He words were soft but concerned. "And it is Darin's."
(Awww!)
Kaliska blinked and smiled. "Aren't they?" she smiled down on Ronin's sleeping face.
_______________________
Barrett bounded on top of the stump, and cheered when Myrna bounded to it.
_____________________
Hannah smiled, she set the chick down, and got them a dish of water.
________________________
Jesslyn laughed, and smeared a small amount of his cheek. "Ha. Got you back." she snickered.
______________________
Jasmine blushed, but her eyes were alive with joy. "Oh Ferris, really?" she asked, still almost not believing.
_________________
"No. I've got it. I really don't have much, and actually I need to go over the Chester's tomorrow. I heard he's having some kind of trouble, and he's got lots of animals." Braxton told Lana, his voice slightly concerned.
____________________
"WHAT?!" Chester roared, utterly shocked, angry and confused. Lexus was out of ear shot, even with his yelling, since her door was closed. "What do you mean she's in foal?!" he hissed, lowering his voice. He looked back and made sure Lexus could not hear. "D*** it!!! Why?!" his voice was strained and near tears.
"I might just take more time off from the restaurant so I don't miss out on much." She kissed Annabelle.
_______________
"Safe!" She laughed. "So what do you think of Hide and seek so far?" She looked back and the woman went to find others.
_____________________
Noonan ordered a cheese and garlic pizza then pulled out some juice.
____________________
Thrain chuckled... "Aww man." He ginned. "Now let me clean that off for you." He pretended he was going to lick her like a dog to clean it off.
_____________________
He put a pillow over his face feeling it hot. Then he peeked from behind it. "Yes..."
_____________
"Oh my... hasn't been a good few days." Lana frowned. "I wish I could do more."
_________________
Marriane felt for him and rested her hands on his arms. "I am so sorry.. she must have been in heat when he was pursuing her.. early in enough you might not have picked it up.. I am so so sorry. I can't imagine how upsetting this is for you both. I wish I could help you feel better." She looked back as well. "She doesn't really know yet.. I wanted to tell you first. She just knows we are hiding something from her, and she did not like the exam. She cried on my shoulder the whole way back.... but I think she is.. suspicious of what it is." She stayed calm and soft and sympathetic.
Kaliska chuckled. "I would welcome you here." she smiled.
______________________
"It's fun! I can't believe I've never played this!" Barrett laughed.

Hannah moved past him, taking the dish to the chicks. She set it in their crate, and smiled, watching them drink.
________________________
"Ew!" Jesslyn ducked, instinctively pushing his face away with her hands. Than she laughed. "That's gross!" she giggled.
_____________________
Jasmine nearly squealed. "Oh my gosh Ferris!" she beamed at him.
__________________
"I do too.... he's a good friend of mine. I hate to see him in trouble." Braxton sighed, shaking his head.
____________________
Chester had a hand over his eyes, took a choppy breath, then choked out, "I can't do it. Please tell her for me." he asked Marrianne.
_____________________
"So should I yell that now?" Barrett asked.

Hannah leaned back against a couch, holding the smallest chick of the bunch. She crooned softly to it, while it buried itself in her palm. (I love when they do that.)
