Spirit stepped back,unsure if he should listen or not.His mother nodded him off,and he left.

"I see."Esperanza said,surprised a bit but not at all alarmed.Strider had charmed many mares,he had told her so.

Jade looked at Esperanza. "I guess, as you can see I'm pregnant," she said.

"I guess," Jade said a little worried. "I'm just not sure if I have what it takes to raise a foal."

"Darling,Any old mare can be a mother,but it takes a special type of mare,to be a good one.To love and care,to nurse and scold.The hardest part is the discipline.Same with fathers.My boys make spectacular fathers.One has proven this,and the other will soon."

Jade half smiled. "I'm just not sure if I'm ready," Jade said. "I'm due in a month." She felt the foal kick again and move around. She winced in pain. That kicked was harder than the last. This foal seemed to want out now.

Esperanza smiled as she saw the foal move inside it's mother's barrel."When the time comes,you'll be ready."

Jade smiled to the older mare. She knew this mare knew more about this kind of stuff, but she still felt uneasy.

Esperanza smiled to her."Don't worry so much.I told Rain the same thing,when she was carrying Twins and Sextuplets."

"I'm just worried about how this foal will turn out," Jade said. "I have no idea which stallion is the father."

"Why does it matter?The only ones that care about pedigree are humans,and that's because they believe that they can improve us with special dams and sires."Esperanza was good at explainations.

"It's not the pedigree," Jade said. "It's who the foal will take after. That's what I'm worried about." Jade lowered her head and her eyes. Then she said in a whisper, "The Hai Herd got to me."

"That filth!"Esperanza sneered."If there's one good thing about them,it's that they don't usually have very strong genetics.Look at Snape over there.His mother was taken by them too,and who does he look like?"
