Foals.

Having children has long been a dream of Rainbow Dash's herd, one which Twilight has pursued unerringly, despite continual setbacks and false starts. Yet, when a solution finally presents itself, it threatens to rip Twilight's herd apart.

Twilight hasn't done anything wrong, so why is Rainbow Dash so terribly upset?

Originally, I intended to write this and publish it around February 2014's Valentine's day. Obviously, that didn't happen. At all.

The premise of the story is based off of a thread I posted well over a year ago in the Xenophilia group, during which I proposed that Lero's herd really ought to think about expanding to include another stallion. One of the underlying concepts in Xenophilia's universe is that ponies are, to a degree, practical in how their culture functions, at least in theory.

However, I also acknowledge that this work probably diverges from some other author's works on how the canon develops.

Art was originally made by Archonix, but butchered by myself. With Archonix's permission, of course.
