Today I find myself in the cave with my mom writing this. It all started in the morning. I woke up in the middle of the night with a huge pain in my belly. I called out for my mom and immediately she threw on some saddle bags and helped me walk out of town to the cave.

When we finally got here, she set up camp. For never taking me hiking, she did a pretty good job. We have a fire, plenty of wood, and food she gathered all around. She also brought some cherry bombs to scare off any animals, and the shotgun just in case.

My mom says that I experienced a "contraction." Whatever is in me wants out soon. It'll be better that way. Once my belly is back to size, then I can get back to my life with my friends.

You know, most mares my age would be scared of this. I'm just kind of frustrated that I have to go through this when I didn't... well, you know. And I don't even mind the fact that my mom is leaving tomorrow morning. I'm actually kind of glad to be on my own for once.

But what I'm really curious about is what is inside me. We will have to wait and see.
