"They're totally reliant on their parents to get around," Phoenix said as she nipped at his fender.

"Mmm-hmm," Ricardo starting purring and started to massage behind Phoenix's mirror gently.
(((((OOC: Do we need a timejump?)))))

(((Wouldn't hurt, I will he heading out in a little while for work (grumbled) the District Manager is coming in to see how we're doing.)))
Phoenix let out a purr as she leaned into the rubbing.

(((((OOC: Good luck on that. Yeah, I thought that a timejump would be appropriate so we can skip over what Ricardo and Phoenix were planning on doing that night.)))))
Ricardo continued to give Phoenix a massage, kneeding his tires into her side in a gentle manner and purring. "I love you..." he said softly.

(((No problem with that here...)))
"Love you more," Phoenix said purring deeply.

Ricardo gave a mischievious grin and chuckled, then threw the blanket over them, which covered their entire surfaces and making car-shaped lumps underneath.
The sounds of kissing could be heard as this went on long into the night.
*****
The next morning arrived soon and the sun shown through the window. Ricardo lay asleep, exhausted from the fun that he and Phoenix had had last night. He wouldn't wake up for awhile still.
*****
Delfina was in the kitchen cooking breakfast and keeping an eye on Stephanie. She had decided to stay at home that day, wanting to get as much chores done around the house as possible.
*****
Ebony woke up and felt very queasy, like her dinner was going to come up on her. She rushed to the washroom and shut the door, then turned the shower on to clean up.

Kendall looked up with concern as Ebony suffered through her bout of morning sickness, then went to rustle up some breakfast as he knew she'd be hungry later. He also set out some of the supplements that Elizabeth had prescribed for Ebony so that her term wouldn't take such a toll on her.
Aron was riding an ATV along the fences, stopping and fixing them as needed. Daniel was in the outdoor round pen, longing Warhammer, the son of Frisa and Halberd, who at two years old was a very studdy and rambunctious colt indeed. Warhammer took a lot after his sire in more than attitude, with his silver-dun color and compact, powerful build. Not many breeds crossed well with Fjords, but the nomad horses had similar build in many ways. Elena, whose eye for horses was unrivaled here, figured he might even be a stallion prospect if he continued to develop well. But even stallions had a job to do here, and 'Hammer's first serious lessons were starting. When he wasn't in training, he was off in the pastures 24-7, toughening his body and feet along with Blue Devil Bars, the quarter horse colt Strip Weathers had named, and Virgil, Gloriana's colt by Wolfjeager. During the off-season they would have a couple of years together before "mare fever" separated them forever.
Rocket had grown to the point that he was now capable of bearing a human's weight, and Liska and Ronald had trained him together. Now she was riding him with the aid of clamp-on handlebars that fitted over Rocket's "gas tank" which acted as levers to apply pressure to the left or right, in addition to leg pressure and changes in posture which the wolfbike had learned to recognize as directional and speed cues. Now, she worked on training a reliable emergency stop into him, working with the same patient consistency that she applied to the dogs. She saw Delfina through the bay window of her house as they passed, and waved to her.

Ebony let the hot water spill down on her for awhile, wanting to get the smell of the morning sickness off of her. Finally, she shut the water off and toweled herself dry. She then went to wake up the twins and Gryffin and bring them to the kitchen for breakfast.
*****
Delfina looked up from the stove upon which she was cooking breakfast and waved when she saw Liska and Rocket go by.

Kendall had everything laid out by the time Ebony had fetched the children. "G'morning, beautiful."
Aron waved to Liska in passing before bringing the ATV to a stop beside the house. He could already smell the pancakes cooking, and - bacon! That was still a rare treat. He came in through the back door. "Hey, Del, how's it going with you and the squirt?"

"Mornin'..." Ebony mumbled sleepily as she reached for the fuel and the supplements.
*****
"Steph just had her breakfast," replied Delfina, "but I'm making ours. Get a plate and I'll serve you."

Phoenix gave a tired stretch as she quietly got to her tires. The Trans Am smiled faintly at the still sleeping Stealth, she'd let him sleep until he needed to go back down to the shop.
She looked at the clock on his nightstand, Gryffin wouldn't want to come home just yet. She scribbled a quick note telling him not to worry and that she went on a drive to see Delfina.
She quietly shifted into gear and went down the ramp, heading for the mountain.

"After ten miles of fences, I'm starved." Aron sat down with a plate and a glass of fresh-squeezed orange juice - clementines, actually. "Who knew that just plain cattle could be so destructive?" He smiled at the baby who was now in her sling.
"Looks like it's gonna be another scorcher." Kendall took a peek at the outside thermometer, which was already over 75.

"That's cattle for you," said Delfina as she took out the bacon from the skillet and put it on large plate along with the pancakes, then took it to the kitchen table. She then went and fetched the maple syrup for the pancakes.
She then placed Stephanie in a high chair and then took a plate and sat down herself.
*****
"Just wanna stay inside today..." Ebony said, as she sipped at the supplement mixed fuel, then gave the twins and Gryffin their own breakfast as well, "but I have to go to work today..."

Phoenix sighed as she drove along the road that would eventually lead her to the familiar mountain and to the homes built around them.

Delfina paused for a moment, picking up a familiar signature approaching the mountain. "We're going to have company soon."
