Ruby was not the only one happy about their current circumstances. Garnet was as well. When Anya first transformed him to a stallion, Gareth had been unhappy, but would do whatever his Prince needed. Now that they were having sex so frequently, and would almost certainly produce offspring together? He was ecstatic!
When Gareth first joined the Prince's Guard, he thought the Prince to be selfish, cowardly, and unsuitable for the future King. But as he got to know Jasper, he found him to be thoughtful and caring. He made it a point to remember details about all his servants, something the King and Queen would not. And while he shirked his responsibilities and lessons, he truly wanted to lead the kingdom well, and cared deeply for the citizens. He just needed to grow up a bit, and he would be a fine King.
This, on top of Prince Jasper's fine looks, resulted in Gareth falling in love with the very person he'd been sworn to protect. He shouldn't have been surprised. After all, he had always been attracted to both men and women. But this was one crush he couldn't act on. Until now.
It truly was two birds with one stone, Garnet reflected as his riding equipment was removed. He was with his beloved and would father a child with her. He'd wanted to be a father for years, but the demands of his job kept him from forming long-lasting relationships. Now, though, he was finally getting what he'd wanted for so long.
Unbeknownst to either of the horses, when they put on a show of mating for the rebels, they had been successful. Ruby was pregnant. She was no longer in heat. But her body was responding to the desires of the stallion she subconsciously thought of as her mate. She would want and enjoy sex with Gareth as much as he desired, and would be equally as thrilled as him to have a child together.
With their riding gear removed and costs brushed down, Garnet and Ruby were left alone. As soon as the door to the stable closed, Ruby presented herself to Garnet. Garnet mounted her eagerly.
He could get used to this.
