Dewberry didn't feel to good at the fact she was nursing a foal in front of all her friends.
Sweetroot came up to her and said: "Good job, Dewberry, you did wonderful! Your filly is happy and healthy. But quick question. Who's her sire?"
"I don't know," Dewberry answered truthfully.
"Were you mated in your sleep?" Sweetroot asked.
"No, I sleep laying down."
Sweetroot staggered back, as though she'd been hit over the head.
"I've only seen one case like this before, before Star!"
"Huh?"
"You have a spirit foal!"
The pegasi in the glade all gasped. Spirit foals were foals that mares carried when their mate or the stallion they'd loved had died and that stallion mated to the mare before they actually reached the golden meadow.
Dewberry felt like falling over.
"Who's foal do you think it is Star?" Sweetroot asked.
"Bumblewind's," Star said without hesitation.
The other pegasi nodded their agreement.
Dewberry looked at the foal and noticed that she was a chocolate-brown paint with wings that were emerald tipped in gold. The little filly turned and looked at her mother with big brown eyes.
"What are you going to name her, Dewberry?" Morningleaf asked gently.
"Bumbleberry, I'm going to name her Bumbleberry."
THE END
Spirit foals: Spirit foals are foals that are born to mothers that loved a stallion, but that stallion had died. They grow in their mother's bellies, but it doesn't show like a normal pregnant pegasus mare. The mothers usually die giving birth to spirit foals, and it's really rare when they don't, when they don't die giving birth to a spirit foal it means their soul and spirit are strong.

(I LOVE THIS IDEA ABOUT SPIRIT FOALS! THIS STORY IS AMAZING!)
Cool! About the spirit foals. Does that mean Bumblewind became mates before she died? Or did he just mated with her before he died. And is te foal an actual spirit, or would it die one day?
AMAZING STORY!!!
I SO FLIPPING HOOKED! :DDDDD
AHHHHH BUMBLEBERRY!! THIS IS AN AWESOME STORY!
I actually thought a spirit foal was where the sire mated the mare he loved after he died, like Bumblewind came down as like a spirit/ghost thing and mated Dewberry. But that's what I thought
Yeah me to
Well, Rain feather, if you were paying attention during the story you would've known that this story takes place four years AFTER Bumblewind had died.
Spirit foals are NOT spirits, they're the foal of a living dam and a deceased sire. The sire has a span of four years, before he actually goes to the golden meadow, to say good bye to those he cared for. All pegasi have the choice to wait four years to say goodbye, but most don't take it.
Yes the foal will die one day, but it'll live a bit longer than normal pegasi.
Bumblewind mated to Dewberry in spirit form, meaning he came down as a spirit and mated to her one night. They were not mates before he died.
This story relates some what to the Bumbleberry picture, where Bumblewind was a spirit saying hello to Dewberry, but I wrote the rough draft before I saw that pic.
Thanks guys, I knew you'd like it
