Chapter 1- A New Chapter of Life
"I'm off to the Doctor!" Twilight called to her coltfriend, Flash Sentry as she left for the doctor. She had been feeling wierd for about three days now. Flash began to worry about her, due to the fact that she had been throwing up in the mornings and rambling on about some appointment being late. He was begining to think that he was visiting a crazy princess. He was going to go over to Princess Fluttershy's cottage for some advice on how to handle it if Twilight was what she thought she was. He was going to talk to her because she had been in Twilight's possible situation for a week now.
"Hey Fluttershy." He said as an alicorn Fluttershy opened the door. Fluttershy's Fianc Hummingbird, was there too. He had recently moved in with her after they got engaged.
"Hello, Flash. To what do I owe the visit." She asked. He explianed why he had come and they started talking, he felt a little more confident by the time he left.
"Thank you Fluttershy and Mr. Hummingbird. You have been a big help, but I really have to get to Twilight's, she could come back anytime now and I want to be there when she does."
"No prob-" Fluttershy started to say but saw him flying away.
Flash went home and sat on the couch. In a few minutes Twilight was home and she looked like she had seen a ghost.
"Sooooo...?" Flash inquired.
"Um.. well, I'm kinda sorta sick. The reason I've been vomiting is called morning sickness. It comes with pregnancy." she said smiling.
"You're p-p-pregnant?! Oh-no, oh-no, oh-no! Your brother is gonna kill me. I'm dead." He started pacing.
"Flash, It'll be ok. He won't kill you I'm sure of that. And we got something to look forward to. Flash. Stop. Your going to burn a hole in the carpet." She said. He complied and sat on the couch.
"Yeah I guess yo-" he tried to say but was interupeted by an elated alicorn Princcess Rarity bursting through the door. "I guess she heard that you are pregnant." He said to Twilight.
"Twilight I'm, wait, what?" Rarity asked.
"Yeah I'm pregnant." Twilight grinned.
"Since when?!" Rarity asked.
"Umm, probably-" Twilight said but was cut off by Rarity.
"Don't you dare say three days ago." Rarity threatened.
"Umm then I can't answer." Twilight said.
"EEEEEEEEE!" Rarity squealed.
"Umm, Rarity why did you come here any way, since you obviously didn't come over 'cause I'm pregnant?" Twilight asked suspiciously.
"Well you see, darling, I got pregnant three days ago, as well. Sooo I'm kinda in the same boat you are, dear." Rarity explained. They talked for a while, and then at around noon Trenderhoof came to get Rarity.
"Well, honey, we really must be off." Trenderhoof said to Rarity.
"Oh, yes we do have to go don't we, dear. Well, I'll be seeing you around Twilight, darling." Rarity said as she left. Twilight and Flash sat on the couch cuddling.
"Oh! I forgot! I should really go tell A.J. She would be excited to hear that there will be somepony for her foal to play with soon." she realized out loud.
"Hey, I'll come with." Flash offered.
"Ok." Twilight brought him up on the offer. The couple flew down to Sweet Apple Acres, bearing some big news.
"Howdy. Whut have ya'll been up tah." Apple Jack said having trouble bucking apples due to being three months from her due date.
"Apple Jack! You shouldn't be bucking in your state!" Twilight yelled jesturing to Apple Jack's huge stomach.
"Quit yer yellin' 'fore Mac hears ya." Apple said quietly.
"No. Stop bucking!" Twilight yelled hoping Big MacIntosh heard her. In a few seconds her hopes came true as they all saw Big Mac racing across the field.
"A.J.!" Big Mac yelled still half the field to go.
"Ah, horseapples. Ya had tah go an' let Mac know didn't ya." Apple Jack complained.
"Well you really should not be in the harvest this season." Twilight reasoned as Big Mac came apon them.
"A.J. ya know ya can't be in this 'ere harvest in yer condition." Big Mac stated.
"But Mac, ya know Ah've made every harvest an' Ah'm not 'bout tah stop now!" A.J. said.
"Think again l'il sis. Now go home an' get some rest. Ya need it." Big Mac ordered.
"We'll escourt her to her house." Twilight offered.
"Ok, Twilight, thank ya kindly." Big Mac said.
"Your welcome Big Mac." Twilight said.
They walked Apple Jack home making sure she didn't try to stop at another tree. Soon the three were apon Apple Jack's abode.
"Well what is it that ya'll came 'ere? 'Sides to ruin my perfect record." Apple Jack questioned.
"Well we wanted to tell you that I'm pregnant." Twilight explained.
"Well Ah'll be ah needle in ah haystack. Yer really pregnant?" Apple Jack asked.
"Yup. Just found out today." Flash said.
"Well congrats on the foal-to-be." Apple Jack said.
"Thank you. Soon your foal will have somepony to play with." Twilight said enthusiasticly.
"Correction. Foals." Apple Jack corrected Twilight.
"Well congrats on the second foal." Flash said.
"Nuh-uh. Keep goin'." Apple Jack said.
"Three?!" Twilight questioned. "Thats almost impossible!"
"Well it happened to me." Apple Jack smiled.
"Well then, we'll leave you to rest. Ms. Smith can you come in here please?" Twilight asked for Granny Smith Apple's assistance.
"Whats all this ruckus 'bout?" Granny Smith questioned.
"Well Apple Jack here was out trying to harvest apples when we came. We were just wondering if you could make sure she doesn't try that again. Can you please watch her 'til Big Mac gets back." Flash inquired.
"Will do." Granny said.
"Goodbye everypony." Twilight said as they left.
Later that night Flash had to pack up to leave at seven thirty in the morning. He still lived in the Crystal Empire, due to the fact that he was still a soldier in the Royal Guard.
"I wish you didn't have to go. I love having you here. And I love you." Twilight said.
"I know, but I have to. I should be able to come back very soon." Flash tried to comfort her knowing he didn't have to be on duty tomorrow.
"Wait I get your duty schedule and it said you don't have work tomorrow why do you say you do?" Twilight inquired, thinking Flash was lying to her.
"Princess Celestia needs me." Flash lied.
"Oh, ok." Twilight said believingly.
The two climed into Twilight's bed. Flash wraped his wing around her and in less than ten minutes they were both asleep. Before they knew it, it was morning and Flash had to leave in an hour and a half. He was already packed and his stuff was by the door ready to go with the train ticket on top. He planed on spending his last hour and a half in Ponyville with Twilight. And that is what he did, but alas, like all good things it had to come to an end.
"I'm gonna miss you." Twilight said as they reached the train station.
"I know, but I have a feeling I'll be back very soon." Flash smirked.
"Why do you keep saying that?" Twilight questioned.
"Oh, no reason." Flash said as the incoming train's whistle blew. "Saved by the bell, or in this case a whistle." Flash muttered under his breath.
"I'll miss you, and I love you." Twilight said already missing him.
"I'll miss you, too. And I love you." Flash said happy to leave.
Flash borded the train, Twilight waved almost crying. She knew it could be weeks til he came back, even a few months. She never liked it when he left, especially now that she was pregnant. Right now she was content on just going home. Her friends knew not to be bugging her twenty-four seven on days that Flash left, so it was just her and Spike.
