Answer
Dear Megan,
          The chance that you mare is pregnant is so-so. It takes time to breed, and even if she was covered she had to of been in heat to take and get pregnant. Your gelding may be chasing her around because he is territorial and not wanting her to be there. When you introduce two horses you do not put them together right away you introduce them where they will be safe from each other, that is the gelding's home and he probably dosen't like intruders. If the mare is pregnant you should start seeing signs withing 40-60 days, Fatting up, behavior changes, eating more, and much later swollen udders and leaking milk.
