The New Jem

“DAMEN! OPEN THE DOOR!” Harmony yelled on the other side.

“Why should I when I know that my wife is out there upset with me! I shouldn’t have snapped at her! HOW DID I TURN INTO MY FATHER?!” Damen snapped.

“Damen, open the door for me, we can talk about this, and then I need to take you to the hospital!”

“Why? I’m not it pain, except for my heart.”

“Crystal’s in the hospital with your filly, who is alive not dead!”

“Liar! Crystal told me herself, the foal was dead. And it was all my fault. I should’ve been there for her all this time. But, she doesn’t understand why I left her all the time.”

“What do you mean Damen?” Harmony opened the door and looked at Damen straight in the eyes.

“I was out on those roles all the time because I wanted to get a lot of money for us. All of my paychecks were going to her and the little foal. I wanted the foal to have the best life, better than mine was. But, Crystal was right, I was not there enough.”

Harmony was silent for a long time.

“Damen, Crystal is at the hospital waiting for you to explain to her what was going on. She just needs to know that you’ll be there for her and the foal.”

“Why do you keep saying Crystal and the foal?! She’s dead!”

Harmony pulled out her little camera, looked up the picture that she had of Crystal, and handed it off to Damen. He took the camera from her hooves, staring at the picture. Eyes widened and mouth opened.

“You’re foal is alive. She’s alive Damen; she wants her father. Crystal wants her husband.” Harmony said.

Damen looked up at Harmony and smiled, dropping the camera in Harmony’s hooves. He got up from his pool of tears and galloped off to the hospital.

Soon making it to the hospital, he slammed the door open, startling Crystal and Mrs. Snapple.

“Damen?” Crystal asked.

“Where is the foal? WHERE IS SHE?!” Damen snapped.

“Damen calm down. She’s with the nurses at the moment, she might be in the foal room.”

Damen galloped off; Crystal looked at Mrs. Snapple and Harmony, shocked at Damen’s response.

“What is wrong with him?” Crystal asked.

“I told him that your filly was alive, and she was awaiting for him. And you were too.” Harmony responded.

“Well, good thing. I kind of still hurt from what he had said, maybe he will beg for forgiveness.”

Soon, Damen arrived at the foal room window, staring out at it; frantically looking for his little filly. He wanted to see her, he wanted to know if she was alive.

“Are you Damen? Crystal Feather’s husband?” one of the nurses walking by asked.

“Yes.” Damen responded.

“You’re little filly, is right there.” She pointed at an emerald green filly, with a rose red mane and tail that was in the same style as Crystal’s when she was in Elementary school. Damen stared at the filly, wanting to grab onto her, love on her. Damen slowly trotted away back into Crystal’s hospital room.

Crystal stared into Damen’s eyes, wanting him to say he was sorry. Damen looked up and the tears started coming from his eyes.

“I’m so sorry Crystal, I didn’t mean to snap at you. I was just so upset knowing that we lost our first foal. Now knowing that she is alive and okay, I feel happy. I didn’t mean to snap at you, I thought that my life was over.”

“It’s alright Damen, I didn’t have the right to be snapping back.”

“So, are we still husband and wife? Being parents to our little foal.”

“Forever Damen, till we die.”

Soon the nurse taking care of Crystal came into the room, holding a small lime green blanket. She went up to Crystal and handed her the blanket. Inside was the little filly, silver eyes wide open and moving.

"Damen, look!" Crystal said.

"She's so beautiful..."

Crystal held the filly up at Damen's face, he took a hold of the filly. She wrapped her hooves around his hoof that touched her face. Damen teared up, Stardella trotted up to Damen looking into the heart melting eyes of the fillies.

"She's perfect. What are you guys going to name her?" Harmony asked.

"Well, I was thinking of calling her, Emerald Rose. Because of her rose red mane and tail, and her fur being emerald green. She's got your looks Damen." Crystal responded.

Damen help Emerald Rose in his hooves, not letting her go.

"She's going to be a daddy's girl; I can just tell..."
