To her surprise and confusion, Ruby was actually excited.
This was a time of chaos. A strong, firm line for the throne was a necessity. But Jasper had never sired any children with his concubines. Part of him had felt like the moment he became a father to be, he would lose all control of his life and the situation.
But now? As Ruby, she would be fully in control the entire time. She would bear the future ruler of the kingdom, she would nurse and name and raise it. Every action involved, she would be taking herself. And knowing the control over the situation was all hers, well, that made her for the first time excited about being a parent.
The fact she would be getting a crazy amount of crazy good sex definitely helped. Ruby swished her tail, yearning for Garnet in her again. Hopefully they would still mate even after she became pregnant.
In the back of her mind, part of Ruby wondered if her positive feelings were truly her own. But as they returned to the stable, that doubt evaporated, replaced with anticipation at what she and Garnet would do once they were alone together.
