Nova & Evangeline (Birththread)
[/color]
It had been a day since she had started to feel the pains, just when she had started to enjoy the early summer. It was her first foal but it wasn't hard to figure out what was about to happen, so she had wandered away from the rest of the herd, her big belly very potrudent. She didn't want it to happen in the middle of the herd or at the cave, so she had sought out a more hidden place where she could have her firstborn.
For being her first foal, it had gone nice and quick, or at least quicker than what she had expected it to be.
The result? A beautiful baby girl, a little small maybe, but very energetic when she got to her feet. That was a a day ago, Nova didn't bring back her daughter to the herd until now, she had wanted the foal to be strong and quick before bringing it to the other to see, to Hoss to see.
So it was with pretty proud steps that she walked up to the cave entrance with the lively foal almost trotting at her side, both Nova and the foal looked healthy, and the red mares sides was slim again, her eyes gentle every time she looked at her daughter, it wasn't hard to see that she was very happy and proud.

The black and white foal at the red mares side was maybe a little smaller than most newborn foals, not by much, but it was noticable, but she wasn't really aware of it herself, she trotted around at her mothers side with ease in her little steps, the blue eyes very curious at the new surroundings, she just couldn't stop looking around, and her mother had to nudge her several times just to have her keep walking.
Her coat was black and white, with spots over the rump, the front legs and part of the chest dipped in white, the backlegs dipped in white until just above the hocks, and an apron-blaze decorated her face. Mane and tail were white and puffy. This was new to her and she didn't know that she was about to meet other horses, let alone her father.

Hoss could often be found out and about on such a beautiful summer morning as this, but today was different. It was a day to laze for the tri-colored leader. There were no threats to speak of and all of his mares had been well attended to. If they needed him, they knew where to find him. The stallion lay partially on his side just inside the mouth of the mossy cave, his head craned over his front hooves as they folded beneath him. His brown and blue eyes fluttered open and closed, not exactly ready for the day to begin.
Hostetler was ecstatic to be interrupted by such a sight.
A mare and a filly soon greeted him at the entrance to Yacare's famous Safehouse. It was Nova, and the one beside her looked so happy to be alive. The stallion stood immediately - too quickly, really. Hoss hit his head on the ceiling of the cave, giving out a cross between a whinny and a grunt."OW!"
Hostetler quickly made his way out of the cave to stand beside the two. Nova looked radiant and proud as a new mother should be. But the little girl... She was perfect. Just look at her... Hoss' smile had never been wider.
"Whoooooo-eee! I nevuh seen'a filly quite like you, liddle one! Dis yo' momma? Dis one right 'chere?" Hoss lowered his head and with a playful tone gestured toward Nova, egging the little black and white bundle to laugh. He nuzzled her poll softly, eager to get to know the filly. Turning back to Nova, the happy father nodded with his grin obvious. "You did a wonduhful job he-yuh, No-vah," he said, nipping her white mane lovingly.
OOC: B'aww.

Nova & Evangeline (Birththread)
[/color]
As they walked up against the cave, Evangeline, that was the fillys name, noticed another horse walking up to them. He was big and red, with black and white, and he seemed friendly with her mother. When he asked if this was her mother and then nibbled at her puddy little white mane she nipped playfully at him. She was certainly playful, almost cocky in the way she nipped at him, he seemed fun. His words made her laugh just a bit and her white tail waved happily behind her
"It sure is! Who are you?"
Her childish voice was light and very playful, she just waited for an opportunity to start run around and play, her legs itched for an opportunity to run around and test those long legs of hers. Maybe this tall horse in front of her wanted to play with her? Before she had the chance to ask, he turned his head towards her mother instead, and so she took the chance and trotted away from the both, just to stop at the entrance at the cave, to look into it suspiciously.
-------------
It melt Novas heart to see Hoss greet his daughter in that way, to see him happy about the little bundle of energy who so happily greeted him too, even though she seemed to be all too energetic to stand still for long.
"Half of her was your job, you know."
She laughed a little and followed the little one with her gaze as the foal trotted away from them, but then she turned her head against Hostetler again, and nipped back at his mane. He had once conviced her to stay, and she was happy for that actually. That had lead to this, and her whole body just shivered with happiness everytime she saw him, he made her happy.
"Her name is Evangeline."
Her voice was proud and happy, although she had named her filly without the help of him, she hoped that he would like it anyways, it was a beautiful name, fitting for the little blue eyed filly that stood so suspiciously looking into the cave.

"Who am Ah? Who am Ah you akss? Gaaaa, liddle one Ah's yo' père!" It was probably safe to say that since Nova was not a native, she did not know the old language and therefore had no way of teaching her daughter. The responsibility fell on Hoss. Little words would be first, then he'd move on to whole sentences.
Golly, he was already thinking about teaching his children! Luciole was gifted with a name he had personally selected of Yacarian derivation and now he had another daughter - just as beautiful. Fathering was becoming natural to him and he was thankful for it.
Hoss turned with a grin up to Nova's level again, happy to have made such a wonderful little foal with her. She'd make a fine mother. "'Ee-vang-uh-leen'?!" He asked quickly as his whole face lit up with happiness. How could a more perfect name be thought of? "Why, dass purfect, No-vuh! Lookit 'er - it suit 'er purfec'ly!" Hoss turned his attention to the filly who'd wandered a little ways away from the two parents and looked into the Safehouse. Hoss took a few steps toward her to get a better look. The little black and white girl made him proud...
OOC: That "gaaa" was just a sound, not a word. xDD
