"Your foal certainly seems quite active and healthy, Erika.", said Dr. Franklin with a smile, as he pressed his plastic sonogram wand against Erika's belly.
"My... foal?", said Erika, uncertainly. She was startled at the doctor's words. Did... did Dr. Franklin just imply that she was pregnant with a foal?
Fortunately, neither Dr. Franklin nor Erika's mother seemed to notice the confusion in her voice, yet. Erika's mother laughed. "You certainly know how to take on a challenge, sweetheart. I thought it was a bit trying when you were getting big in my belly and kicking me at all hours... I can hardly imagine how the baby's hooves are gonna feel pressing against your
insides one the time comes that this "little one" has gained a couple dozen more pounds in there.", she said, laughing and giving Erika's bulging tummy a rub.
Erika tried not to allow her confusion to show, but she slowly looked over at the sonogram monitor that was showing an image of the interior of her womb. The picture was grainy and gray... But, nevertheless, Erika could see the rough shape of her unborn child on the screen... And, her eyes widened as she saw thatm indeed, the shape of it was decidedly inhuman-looking. The body of the 'baby' was too wide and long. What should have been arms and legs looked too long and terminated in blunt hooves, and the shape of a tail could be seen at one end... But, most telling of all, was its thick neck and long face, which was unmistakably equine.
...A... A foal! Erika didn't know how it was possible, but, somehow and for some reason, the salve that she had sprayed herself with had impregnated her with foal! There was actually a tiny baby horse growing inside her young womb... and getting bigger!
...And, judging from the calm, happy loks of both her mother and Dr. Franklin, absolutely no one seemed to think that this occurence was peculiar or inexplicable in any way except for Erika herself...
