I struggled to the ground, I knew what was happening, but, I was alone, it was scary. I lifted my head, sweat dripped loosley from my muzzle, I let out a sob, I wanted someone, anyone, I didnt want to be alone, not now. I threw my head to the ground as another pain tore through my stomach. As it passed, I lifted my head to scream for help, but all that came out was a hoarse "Please, help, please" It was so quiet, I hardly heard it. My frame shook with sobs as I silently sat, waiting for the next pain to come. When it did, I took a deep breath, they were getting worse......

I heard a scream, not just anyones scream, her scream. I galloped, racing myself to get to her faster. "Please, help, please" It was so quiet I could barly hear her. I turned a sharp corner and slid slighty, but regained my footing quickly when I saw her. Her fragile looking frame shook with each sob, I raced still go faster and slid onto my knees landing next to her. "Eleven, Eleven, My dear, what is the matter, what can I do" I said to her worried and wondering what was happening to her.

I lifted my skull, my eyes weary, and saw Ashton. "Ashton.... Its comeing" I squeezed my eyes shut as another pain came, I let out a whimper, and a tear ran down my cheek. As it passed, I lay my head on the ground, reaching my muzzle out to Ashton, I took a deep breath. It was my first foaling, and I was terrified.

It was coming, the foal of another was coming. I was not allowed to be here, a stallion was not supposed to be with a mare when she gave birth, but she looked so small and fragile that I stayed anyway. I saw a tear roll down her check, so I moved forward to nuzzle her and whispered comforting words trying to help her though it. She reached her muzzle out to me, so I nuzzled it and started ti groom it, licking away the falling tears. It was her first foaling, or so I guessed, if she had done it before she would not look so scared. I layed next to her, keeping her warm in the cold air and continued to whisper words into her ear, telling her it would be alright.

I started to calm when Ashton lay with me, I knew it wasnt allowed for stallions to be with mares when foals are being born, but I didnt want to be alone, if he decided to go by the rules, I would be by myself. I flickered my tail, thinking to myself, *Do I really want to do this? Go through all the pain and hurt?* I shook the thought out of my head as another pain came, A shudder fell through my body, my body constantly shaking with tears.

"It's ok, it's ok, it's almost over" I whispered again and again into her ear, always letting her know I was there for her. I continued to nuzzle her as her body continued to shake more and more with each sob. "Come on Eleven, you are almost there" I said looking at her rear, and kissed her gently "You will be fine"

I put my head down to the ground. "I cant do it, I cant" As I said it, I felt.... Different...... I raised my head, and there was something I had been looking forward to for 11 months. It was here, finally. I struggled my head toward my baby, gently grooming him. I quickly glanced up at Ashton, casting him an exausted smile i said "thank you, so much" I reached up and nuzzled his neck, an then returned to my foal, there was somethin I had to know, I checked quickly, yep, he was a colt.

"I cant do it, I cant"She moaned "You can my dear, you can" I said and before I had even finished speaking she had done it. On the floor sat a wet and lanky little colt. I was a father, it was not mine but I still would not treat him any different and if I made this mare, Eleven, my queen he would be heir. "Thank you, so much"She said looking at me "Thats ok, I glad I was here to help" I said before bowing and walking away slowly letting the mare and colt together. I would be back later.

I looked and watched as he walked away, before looking down at my foal. "Im going to call you Ash" I mumured into his ear, I knew where I had got the name, if Ashton hadnt been here, I wouldnt have been able to do it. I nudged my foal, icoraging him to get to his feet, my body was still wet with sweat, so i got to my feet and shook myself off. I looked down at Ash, he was balancing on his too-long legs.
Ash
I lay, on my side, what had just happened? I opened my eyes, it was so bright, too bright. I turned my head and saw a tall thing walking away, I then lifted my head forward and saw another, if all these things were everywhere, I must be one of them as well. I felt drawn to the second thing, and tried to stand up, as she nudged me, I rose to my feet, unsteady.

I stood in the shadows where mother and son could not see or smell me. I smiled to myself as I watched my son, as that is how I would now think of him, trying to stand on his all to long legs. He was going to be tall, I started to wonder what his name was and who his real father was but those questions could wait till later. I stood watching my son and mare wondering how many times I fell over when I was a colt.

I stood, still exhausted, and marveled at the little colt in front of me. I hade made him, he was the thing growing inside me all this time. I placed my skull under his stomach as he almost fell, holding him up. I wondered where Ashton had got to, I hoped he would come and visit soon.
ash
I waggled my tail, gaining my balance. I bucked my rear, my little mane sticking up on top of my head. I looked down to my feet, treading my hooves, I ran out into the shadows, tripping over my feet, i fell, looking up, I saw a strange shape in the shadows. Cocking my head, I approached, my nostrils flared. I saw it was the horse from erlier. I tentativley stepped back, fearful of this strange figure.

I could tell Eleven was tired and moved to help her with the young colt. But before I took a step, he was up and galloped towards me, tripping over his feet all the way, he then fell and skidded to a stop in front of me, surprising me. He must of seen the shock in my eyes becuase he stood quickly and backed away. I moved forwards slowly not wanting to scare him "Hello young one, whats your name" I asked looking over the young and gangly colt and waited.

Eleven
I saw Ash and ashton together, and i knew that ashton would watch him for a minuite, so he wouldnt get up to anything.
Ash
I looked up at the giant before me "Ash" I said, by means of introduction. I weaved between the large equines legs, occasionally losing my balance. I looked up at the equine before me, and then back toward my mother, as she had told me to call her.

"Ash" said the little colt. I was surprised at the name, as I could guess where it had come from. I caught him as he fell and helped him regain his feet. This was all new to me, I had never had any foals or been around any. "You know Ash, my name is Ashton" I said looking at the colt "And that mare over there" looking over at Eleven "Loves you very very much, so you be nice to her, ok" I said and pushed his bum gently over towards Eleven and followed him. "Are you ok my dear" I said and nuzzled her neck, and started to groom her as I waited for a answer.

Eleven
I raised my head as they approached. "Yes, just tired" I said with a tired smile. I saw Ash looking at Ashton I reached over and whispered something in the colts ear, and little Ash went to settle next to Ashton. I smiled to myself, what a loveley day.
Ash
"That stag over there is your daddy, he is very important". I knew what this meant, this meant that there was always someone to look after me, mummy and daddy, and little me. I settled down next to daddy, watching him groom mummy, I copied him and started to groom his leg.
