Sorry for the long delay everyone… been busy, ya know? Enjoy this update!

Chapter 4

That night, while the Black was in his stall with Blondie in the stall beside him, they began talking to each other about their new baby in horse-talk.

"So, what do you think it'll be, Blackie? A boy or a girl?" Blondie asked him. The Black didn't answer, as he was trying to reflect on the encounter with the horses.

"Blackie, honey? Did you hear me?" she asked. The Black snapped back into the world again and answered.

"Uh… I don't know… hopefully a boy. What do you want it to be?" he asked.

"I honestly don't care… I just want a precious, cute foal that will grow up to be just like its daddy."

"And I want one that'll be just like Daddy and have Mommy's stunning, beautiful looks," The Black said, nuzzling Blondie's nose through the bars of the stall.

"Hopefully it'll be a racehorse like you," Blondie said. "It'll keep Henry and Alec straight and in the racing business, since you've stopped racing now."

The Black frowned at the many memories he had of races won and very rarely, lost. He couldn't help but miss it. "Yeah," he said, somewhat sadly. "I miss my old life. But now I've got you in my new life."

Blondie half-smiled at the Black and nuzzled him again, trying to comfort him. It worked, but not enough to wipe the frown off his face.

"Blackie, please cheer up. I hate seeing you like this… it's upsetting."

"Sorry, sweetie… but… it's just…"

"I know," she said, interrupting him. "I know how you feel."

"You couldn't possibly," he said.

Blondie said nothing; she didn't want to go any further, as she didn't know if it would make him feel better or worse. Right now, he just needed a simple friend. She nuzzled his neck softly. He grinned and fixed his stifle joint so he could take a short nap. Blondie pulled her head out of the bars, took a bite of food, and did the same.
