For Ray  
Asher had managed to completely miss the birth of his own kids, but, as luck would have it, he'd caught the last half of this one. The gross half. The half that made sense out of just why the fathers weren't around when babies were being delivered way back when.

He'd gotten to the barn early in the morning to feed Beau and Belle, just the same as he had every other morning before. Except there were two and a half horses when he got there that time, and three whole ones just a while later.

Beau had been fed at some point during the wait, and Asher finally fed Belle once it was all over, but she was more interested in cleaning the foal up than eating. After watching that, Asher didn't have much of an appetite himself, either.

"No, but she saw me in a birthday suit," Ray answered under his breath, eyebrow quirking a little. "So, what happens to Bijou now? Christmas present for the twins?"

"Thanks for sharing..." And for immediately changing the subject. "Maybe. That, or the glue factory."

"Pony rides it is then." Ray guessed it was better to be a present for the twins than a present for Onyx. "I'm gonna go shout at my horse," he said, chucking a thumb in her direction, "and then get coerced into feeding it. If you feel like you wanna help shovel muck, then please feel free to follow." He wasn't going to hold his breath though.

"I haven't lost any bets lately." And he wasn't planning to. After the example Ray set, he'd also never wager doing anyone elses grunt work for a week. "Have fun."
