Luna trotted in and plopped down carefully and rolled onto her side. A contraction surged through her and she groaned inwardly

Wind pranced behind Luna and stood back so she could do her thing. "I'm here Luna," Wind said to her softly.

Luna flicked her ears in Wind's direction and before she knew it her foal was alive and beside her. She licked it dry and nuzzled it. The foal was a healthy filly, completely black with what looked like the beginnings of leg feathers just above her tiny hooves. Luna looked at Wind and smiled before nudging the filly up.

Wind smiled widely at the foal and then at Luna. He walked over to Luna and nuzzled her, looking at the newborn filly he said, " Eclipse Dancer is her name right?" he asked Luna.

Luna nodded and got up. Eclipse Dancer (Eclipse fer short) opened her blue-green eyes and nickered beautifully. Luna nudged her and nickered softly. "Up you go little one," Luna encouraged and Eclipse struggled up on wobbly legs, only to fall to the ground.

Wind laughed slightly, "You can do it Eclipse," he said smiling. He just loved the little filly, she was so graceful looking like her mother.

Eclipse looked up at who must be her dad and smiled full of new energy and determination. She got up and steadied herself. She took a small step and squealed in delight that she didn't fall. Soon she trotted to Luna and began to nurse happily.

Wind smiled at the energetic filly, "My she is gorgeous," he said still smiling. He walked in front of Luna and nuzzled her muzzle, so softly, she could barely feel him touching her nose.

"Yes she is," Luna sighed happily and nuzzled Wind back. Eclipse looked up from nursing and nuzzled her mother's side.

Wind bent his head down towards Eclipse. He smiled, "Hi, darling. I'm you da." Wind said with his head still bent down.

Eclipse smiled widely and nuzzled Wind. "Hi da!" she nickered loudly and happily.
Luna smiled at her new daughter and was glad she wasn't as shy as she had been as a filly.

Wind smiled and chuckled. He looked over at Luna and smiled widely. "Should we be going back home now?" he asked her happily. " I wonder what Sky will say..." he trailed off.

Luna nodded and nudged Eclipse. "Wait until you meet your big sister." she said and Eclipse's eyes stretched wide. "I have a sister?!" she asked and twitched her ears excitedly.

"Yes, her name is Sky," Wind said smiling. He saw a butterfly land on his muzzle, he tried to get it off, but it kept coming back.

Luna laughed as Eclipse tried to snap at the butterfly and sneezed. Luna looked at the darkening sky and called Eclipse over. "Let's start heading back she said to Wind and began to pick her way out of the flowerbeds with Eclipse at her side.
