sick

"Here girl" Jason fed me a piece of soft and airy bread that tasted like carrots. "Happy Birthday Noel" he smiled and scratched my nose. I nickered and tried to reach the bread. I could though and so he fed me some more. "Come on girl, let's go turn you out" He opened my stall and i trotted out. I knew today was special, but i wasn't sure why. I trotted into the Stallion barn down the aisle to Edgar's stall and nickered. He came to the door and sniffed me. "Today is my birthday!" I nickered proudly. "Oh really?" he said throatily. "I'm a yearling" I nosed him. "Well congratulations" he nosed me. Jason came up behind me and opened Edgar's stall and haltered him. "come on kids, I'll let you go play" He smiled. I followed close to Jason as we went to a paddock, i whinnied, searching just incase Jojo was there. but there was no reply. I sadly followed Edgar into the paddock and slowly ran after him
*Change*
I watched Edgar and Noel for a moment. It was still hard for me to believe that she was a yearling now. soon a mother, if this worked out. I walked back up the drive way to the house. I stopped short, "Abby?" I nearly couldn't believe it. "JASON!" she shrieked. I felt muscles tense up in my body when she gave me the dutiful hug. "is that your horse that mom says would be sammy if she were a horse?" I nodded abruptly. "Why are you here?" I asked. "To meet the new addition to our family of course!" she laughed. I smirked. "Ashley and I broke it off a long time ago," I said. "No, not her, the new girl Mom said her name was Mandy?" "Oh, yeah, she's spending the holidays with her dad in Oregon, I think you're about two days late," I said sourly and walked ahead of her into the house.
"Mom did you know Abby was coming?" I asked. I listened uncomfortably as Abby settled herself into Karen and Sammy's room. Settled herself into a bed that hadn't been slept in for a year. "yes darling," Mom was breathless. "Jason, you need to be kind to her," she said. "what for?" I asked bitterly. "Jason, she sobered up a long time ago, she has shaped her life up. The least you could do, is make this visit easier," Mom was shaking, i knew it was because she was nervous that Abby wouldn't like it here, and leave before the day was over.
After dinner, Mom and i went to the paddock where I'd left Noel and Edgar. they were next to each other, and nosing eachother like old friends. "do you think they tried anything?" I asked Mom. "I don't know babe,they certainly look like they tried" "LOOK!" I gasped as Noel fell to the ground, no she collasped, Edgar whinnied alarmed.
*Change*
"Here come the humans" Edgar nickered. i pricked my ears searching for Jason's scent, when i found it, I walked over sniffing him. Jason ran his hands along my body and the found my eye. "MOM!" his voice rang. I Whinnied, My eye hurt, and I was feebly cold suddenly, I felt very sick.
The humans and Edgar encouraged me up and then led me to a warm area with new smells. "Jason, she's really sick, I'm going to have run some tests," a voice echoed. I listened faintly. I wondered where Jojo is, I wanted him by my side, I wanted Edgar, I hoped nothing bad was happening to me.
Jason stayed with me through the night, but slowly i felt myself growing more tired, and less able to help my self. They pumped water and bash in to me. but it was hard to digest without feeling the pain in my stomach. "Well she's not colicing Jason, but she's very sick, I'm not sure what she has yet but, she's very young. "Did the coggins on that stallion come back negative?" I whickered, and wondered what Edgar was doing. "I don't know, they didn't give me one for him, so i assumed." "Jason follow me son" I was alone, and I was terribly sick. my legs hurt and my nose felt numb.
when the humans returned the returned with Edgar by my side. I felt him sniffing me and I flicked my tail in acknowledment. "Jason, stay with her overnight" a voice whispered.
