Welcome to Gaia! ::

She did a double take, blinking, actually very surprised to hear that. "Wait, what? I'm the first one to know?" A sense of pride filled her, despite herself. No one else in their family knew Malice's secret! But they'd find out soon enough, wouldn't they? "Woah. You're huge... " Sin examined her sister's belly, entirely too curious for her own good. "Do you think there'll be three of them, like there were three of us?" That would be nostalgic. Something for Malice to be proud of. "You're going to raise them like mama and papa raised us, aren't you?" As a foal, she'd always felt the love of her parents, quiet though it was. They'd never been very expressive, but she'd known in the little nudges, and encouragements they'd given her that they adored her, and her sisters. Throughout her time as a foal, her mother had educated her about the ways of their family, and of Kalona in general. Her father had always been a wonderful example for her, strong and sure. But best of all, she'd had three older brothers around, a fourth somewhere in the wings, and Domnu as well.

"Of course." she then said, with a hefty nod. "Mother and father were amazing, weren't they? But I will try and do my best to raise them, since I am already feeling very committed to the task." Plus, she was strangely excited. And Toku would raise them carefully as well, since his childhood was the opposite of their own. Because his memories were so pain-filled and horrible, she knew he would strive to be an even better father then his own. "My size is really awful, isn't it?" she then said, with a slight growl. "But, it would be cool to see three little monsters appear, I'd like to have a challenge with both genders too." She was quiet for a moment then, since she realized she had admitted that the pregnancy was somewhat secret. "There has been conflict recently, since mother and father have some problems with the mate I have chosen. Apparently Toku did some horrible and idiotic things of the past, so it has been hard to find a way to overcome his deeds.." she paused then, while looking down at her stomach. "I don't have the energy to announce the pregnancy in this state to mother and father, but I'd rather bring one of the children with me, so they could see a different side to Toku's growth, and even to my own. But.." she paused again, and lowered her eyes. "I've caused quite a ruckus, Sin, and I have no idea what to do now. I thought I did good finding a worthy mate, but no one else seems to think so." She hadn't opened up about the conflict at all, but she felt it possible with her sister at least. "What do you think?" she then asked, with calm eyes.

"I think that mother and father will be happy to meet your future children. I've never seen mama be unreasonable about foals before, even when they later turned out to be a disappointment. But since they are from our family, I don't think they'll disappoint. Even if this mate of yours isn't 'worthy', he can't be so bad that he'd taint our blood intolerably. He is a Kalona, isn't he?" Sin glanced at Malice sharply at that point. Oh dear... what if her sister had fallen in love with a lesser? That would easily explain a shattering within the family. But they were a strong, close knit group. Surely the could overcome any barriers in their path? Malice had been taught by the best, and surely would bring that knowledge into play when she was raising her own children. "You should bring them to mother and father, so that they can learn all that they have to offer." Her parents were getting older. She didn't like to admit to that, but ... she knew it was true. "I'm sure you'll do fine on your own, but there's no reason they shouldn't know their grandparents, too." And, for that matter, their aunts and uncles. Wouldn't it be cool to have a little foal who called her 'Aunt Sin', or something? She was still so young herself, and it had never really crossed her mind that she could face a situation like this one.
