Double Chaos
Chapter 1
This story is inspired in part by DisneyFanatic2364's story "Daughter of Discord".
The Mane 6 were sitting down together and talking about recent events in their lives. "I'll start!" Rarity proclaimed. "Fancy Pants and I have decided to get married!" All the girls hugged her and shrieked in excitement. Rarity and Fancy Pants had been dating for about 4 months now, and they were perfect together. "When are you getting married?" Twilight asked. Rarity put a hoof to her chin and thought about this for a moment. "I guess we should get married in about 4 or 5 weeks." she decided. Pinkie Pie jumped up and down. "This is so exciting! We get to throw you a bachelorette party, a wedding, and a reception!" Rarity smiled.
"My turn." Apple Jack spoke up. "Me and Spike are gonna have another child." she stated. Spike and Apple Jack had been married for a year. Even though they were different species, they were able to have their son, Spirit. "What do you think it'll be? Boy? Girl? Pony? Dragon?" Pinkie Pie asked rapidly. "Pinkie, calm down! Whatever it is, it'll be great!" Rainbow Dash said. Apple Jack smiled. "Thanks."
Fluttershy looked down at the ground. She wasn't very sure everyone would be too happy about her news. She had been married to Discord for a few months. Even if her friends had accepted that fact, they weren't exactly on good terms with him. "Are you okay, Fluttershy?" Twilight asked. She looked up from the ground and nodded. "Well... you guys know that Discord and I have been married for a while. Well..." she paused. "We're having a baby!" she shouted quickly. She looked at her friends, waiting for them to react. When no one said anything, she looked back at the ground. "Omigosh, Fluttershy! You're gonna have a baby, too?! Yay, that means we can have two baby showers at the same time! You and Apple Jack's kids will have the same birthday, which means we can throw them double birthdays, which means double the fun!" Pinkie Pie screamed at the top of her lungs while bouncing around the room. Rarity dabbed her eyes with a tissue. "You'll be the best mother in the world, Fluttershy!" she said through tears. Fluttershy felt a little bit better seeing her friends smile about her news.
"Ya know, Flutters... I'm kinda worried about what the kid'll look like." Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy had never really thought of that. Would her child be a pony or a draconeqqus? She hoped it wouldn't be a mixture of the two. She wouldn't want her child to be made fun of or ridiculed. "Well, I guess we'll know in eight months." she said. Apple Jack smiled. "I guess our kids will have the same birthday."
Four months later, Twilight has reading when she heard a knock at the door. "Come in!" she called. The door opened and somepony walked in. Twilight looked up from her book and gasped. The pony standing in front of her was none other than her husband, Flash Sentry. "Flash! You're back!" she screamed as she hugged him tightly. "I missed you." she cried. Flash gently stroked her mane. "I missed you, too, Twilight." he whispered. Twilight let him go and smiled at him. "So, how was it traveling with my brother?" she asked. Flash had been away protecting Shining Armor while he was going from place to place for meetings. "Good. The reason I'm back early is that Cadence went into labor and Shining Armor wanted to be there." he said. Twilight gasped. "Cadence had her baby? What is it?" she asked. "They had twins. Princess Emerald and Prince Garland." Flash said. "When can we visit them?" Twilight asked. Flash smiled. "As soon as you want." he said. She hugged him and ran to pack her things. "Let's go!" she said happily. Flash Sentry laughed and followed her to the train station.
Pinkie Pie was getting everything set for Fluttershy and Apple Jack's baby shower when she heard a familiar voice calling her. "Hi, Cheese Sandwich! What brings you to town?" she asked. Cheese Sandwich smiled and looked around at the decorations. "My party senses were tingling. What's the occasion?" he asked. "My best friends are having kids! And, they're gonna be born on the same day, which means-"
"They'll have the same birthdays-"
"Which means double birthday parties!" They finished together. Pinkie Pie looked into Cheese Sandwich's eyes. She never noticed how alike they were until now. She blushed and chuckled. Cheese Sandwich did the same. "Hey, Pinkie? I was just wondering... do you, maybe, wanna... get something to eat.. if you're not to busy..." he said. Pinkie Pie smiled. "Sure! If you'll help me with these decorations." Cheese Sandwich smiled, too. "You bet."
During the baby shower, everyone brought gifts for Fluttershy and Apple Jack. The Cutie Mark Crusaders went first. "This is for if you kids get scared at night." Sweetie Belle said, giving both the mothers-to-be a night-light. "Well, thank you, Sweetie Belle." Apple Jack said. Apple Bloom gave her big sister a blanket with apples and dragon scales on it and gave Fluttershy a blanket with butterflies and swirls on it. "So, they always know where they come from." she said. Fluttershy smiled. "Thank you very much." she said.
Outside the door were Discord and Spike, who were too worried about their wives to sit still. "What's it like being a dad?" Discord asked. Spike shrugged. "it's kinda scary at first. But then, you look at your kid's face and you just know that everything will be all right. Of course, there are times when you don't think you're doing the right thing, or you think the kid would be better off withoutcha, but, you gotta stick with it and make sure you prepare him for the world." he said, staring at the ceiling. "But, it'll be different for me. What if my kid turns out like me? Shunned by everyone? People will already be on edge around it because of me. I... I just want my kid to have a happy life." he confessed. Spike smiled and put his hand on Discord's shoulder. "Then, be the best dad you can be." he said. Discord nodded. Then, Rainbow Dash opened the door. "Guys! It's time! We gotta get to the hospital!" Spike raised an eyebrow. "But, they're not due for another four months!" he said. Rainbow grabbed them by the back of their necks. "Well, they're ready now!" she said.
