Infertility is a terrifying word to the mares of Equestria.

For the bat pony race, fourteen of every fifteen mares learn they will never experience the joy of having their own foal. Learning this nearly destroyed Viola, a young bat pony mare bent on having her own bundle of joy. Refusing to adopt, Viola thought she had the answer. If she couldn't have one with a bat pony stallion, then she would have one with a stallion outside her colony.

However, pursuing her dream has made her... different than other mares.

This story takes place in my Golden Armor universe, but is wholly separate from them. Also, the link to the original art has been added!
