A/N: I don't own any Magic Roundabout characters I only own Annabell and Rosie.

This is a short story about how Lightning came to be.


It started off as a normal day for Annabell who was happily working with her train Rosie.

Annabell flicked her blond hair out of her green eyes noticing how sluggish Rosie was.

The light pink train with light green wheels, funnel and a white patterns of roses over her head looked up at Annabell sadly.

Annabell knelt down to examine Rosie.

She sighed finding nothing wrong.

"She still acting odd?" a voice asked from behind her.

"Yeah, I just don't get it Rosie's always been so energetic" Annabell muttered.

"Maybe she's pulled something" Dylan said walking over.

"I'm really worried about her" Annabell said.

"You know you shouldn't be worrying" Dylan said hugging Annabell.

"I can't help it" Annabell said.

"You should take her to a doctor, see if they find anything wrong with her" Dylan said.

Annabell nodded gently checking Rosie over.

Rosie groaned in pain when Annabell placed her hand on her right hand side.

Annabell sighed and turned to Dylan.

"I need to do something" she said.

"Annabell I know how much Rosie means to you, but you know what the doctor said. No stressing" Dylan said.

Annabell sighed once more and returned to her home.

Dylan watched as Rosie slowly went to her shed.

He sighed.

"No I have enough to worry about as it is" he told himself.

Over the next few days Annabell could only watch as Rosie turned from her energetic, cheery self to sluggish and sad.

"Come on we're getting this sorted" Annabell said walking over.

She was about to climb in when she saw something that freaked her out.

"Whoa!" she said startled.

Rosie looked at Annabell with a 'And you've only just noticed now' look on her face.

"What's all the yellin' about?" Dylan asked coming over.

Annabell pointed to Rosie's swelled sides.

"That ain't right" Dylan muttered.

Annabell gently climbed in and took Rosie to a special doctor.

A few hours later the two returned.

"Well?" Dylan asked.

"You two are going to be shocked" Annabell warned.

"Try us" Train a bright red train with two large blue wheels, funnel and whistle said.

Annabell stood silently, trying to think of a way of putting the news.

"Well Rosie's been checked over and well it turns out" Annabell began but started to mumble.

"Come on Annabell what's up with her?" Train asked.

Annabell took a deep breath and only hoped Train would react well.

"Rosie's pregnant" Annabell replied.
