I felt so bad for Sunpearl. She had been forced into carrying Darkstars foal, Pepper was being sent away, and she was just a hot mess. I willingly watched Pepper for her. I've learned to accept the fact that he doesn't consider me his mom. He doesn't even know. As long as he's happy than I'm happy. Besides, I have Lizzie and I love her so much that she is my foal. Just not in DNA. I brought Pepper and Cinnamon to the corner where Lizzie lay so they could sleep somewhere safe. They all lied down together and Lizzie knew that Pepper was my son but she was smart and didn't say anything. When the boys were asleep though she came up to me and layed next to me again.
"Does he know yet mom?" She gestured her head towards Pepper.
"No sweetie he doesnt. Don't tell him either. That's for his mother to decide." I caught what I just said but I don't think Lizzie was listening.
I had just called Sunpearl, his mother. I was very confused but I mean, she did raise him. Even though it was against my will. I tried not to think to much about it. I snuggled closer to Lizzie though while she went to sleep. I couldn't help but imagine what Sunpearl had gone through. Was Thunder planning to do the same to me? I tried to shake the thought out of my racing mind. I couldn't carry a foal. Maybe if I avoided him... I doubt it though. He was madly in love with me. I was glad that Lizzie was a girl though. At least she wouldn't be pressed into leaving. A few hours went by and the foals were still asleep. I heard faint hoofbeats and looked up to see Sunpearl. She looked so distressed.
"You okay?" I looked at the palomino.
She shook her head and I gestured for her to lay down.
"I'm so stressed out over this. How am I supposed to carry a foal? And Pepper and Cinnamon are being forced to leave. It's freezing out there." She was near tears and I nudged her gently.
"Hey, it's okay. We will find a way through this." She seemed to calm down a little bit but not much. We would have to send the Colts off tomorrow in hopes that they find Silverblaze. We honestly needed a miracle to happen before it was to late.
