The paint mare could see tension was only growing worse as the news hit Zjeena and she wasn't taking it well at all. Confusion glittered in the cream mare's eyes as she looked between Monster and Rayna, as if she was waiting for a punch line that was never going to come. Monster back away from Rayna to turn now toward her other friend, her expression softening with sympathy as Zjeena shook her head. Monster could see it was slowly crushing the other mare to hear that her friend from Liland's herd was gone. She couldn't accept it, at least not right now. Monster didn't know Sabela like they did but, but she knew Rayna must really miss her mother and Zjeena must have been close to the mare cause she was definitely in some pain now too. As Zjeena started to step back, Monster's gaze widened slightly, unsure of what the cream mare was going to do. Then she noticed the liquid on the back of Zjeena's legs. "Um, Zjeena, honey...I think your water just broke."

Rayna, too, was hurting. She felt fragile in Monster's embrace and when Zjeena retaliated with denial, Rayna was quick to correct her. The grief was crippling both of them and Monster didn't know if she had enough duct tape to hold them together. Even as Zjeena is starting to go into labor, Rayna crumpled at her hooves and the paint mare turned back to the younger mare with a snort of dismay. What the heck was going on? Her gaze narrowed a bit at first while she thought carefully before she lowered her head to nudge at Rayna softly. "Yes, you can. You are strong enough for this, Rayna. Right now, you don't have to be. Right now, you can crumple in your grief and be lost. But then you'll get right back up and do what needs to be done cause that's who you are." She glanced over at Zjeena again and sighed before turning back to Rayna.

"Liland is strong, too. He just needs to find his strength. You'll both get through this." She then turned to Zjeena. "Do what you need to do, whether that's to grieve for a minute or push it aside for now, but either way, that foal is choosing now to come out. You've got a job to do and Sabela wouldn't want you in any more pain so please, Zjeena....concentrate for me." She stomped her hoof, her face sobering as she looked between the two. Dammit, if she had to play drill sergent to get them both through this, she would. Whatever was needed to keep her friends going. Medusa watched on with large eyes, not sure what to make of everything happening. She jumped when Rayna collapsed at her mother's hooves and she let out a rattling snort when she saw the wetness on Zjeena's legs. Her eyes found her mother for answers and it seemed her mother was going to take charge and make everything okay. She calmed down, sniffing the grass at her own little hooves for a minute. Yes, everything was going to be okay.
