Ch. 7 Baby Shower Disaster

The girls were getting ready for Pinkie Pie's baby shower. Rainbowdash kept her busy with shopping for groceries. It was actually the other way around since Pinkie was eating for two. The cutie mark crusaders were helping out setting things up in certain places. Granny Smith and Applejack were quarreling on things but the others didn't pay much attention. "Dashie, you don't think I'm getting too fat am I?" Pinkie asked and rubbed her belly.

"You got a filly growing inside of you Pinkie. I'm sure he or she is growing into fine healthy one." Rainbowdash said and rubbed her side of her face next to Pinkie's. When they get to the door and Pinkie walked in first.

"Surprise!" shouted the others and Pinkie was very happy.

They had Pinkie sit on the couch and were serving out the cake first. "How long have you all be planning this?" Pinkie asked and took a bite with her fork.

"Ever since you decided to take this filly as your own, Pinkie darling," Rarity said and sipped some tea while using her unicorn magic.

"We got some presents for you and the baby too," Twilight told Pinkie. Pinkie had tears of joys running down. She felt relieved to know that things were doing fine.

Pinkie walked towards the kitchen then overheard Granny Smith. "Two female ponies together is wrong. Then they're bringing into the world a filly. A filly that'll be shunned and shamed of their home. Why do you support these 'friends'?"

"Granny, don't talk like that. Someone might overhear you," Applejack started then said, "The times are changing and not everything will be the same."

"You one of 'those' ponies?" Granny questioned warily.

"Granny, I'm waiting for the right guy, you know that." "You better not be like those two," she scolded Applejack. Pinkie Pie hid away when she heard the two of them coming out. In tears, she rushed to the bathroom and get herself composed. She came out and went to the others in the living room.

"There's the mother to be!" Rainbowdash exclaimed happily.

"We were worried about you," Applejack said. Pinkie Pie smiled a little but couldn't help notice Granny Smith's sneaky glare. That anger, that disgust, that discrimination she seared into Pinkie's eyes. Pinkie tried to play off like she didn't notice.

"How about we open gifts for the baby?" Twilight spoke up.

"Open up mine please," Applejack pushing her gift over. Pinkie Pie took it and opened it. It was reusable baby bottles with apple decorations on it.

"Thank you, these will be helpful. I'm sure Granny Smith made something for her…"

"I didn't make a gift for 'your' baby," she retorted. The room was silent then Applejack said, "Granny didn't have time is all Pinkie." "I don't condone your relationship. I don't condone the filly you're going to bear in this world. You two should be ashamed," Granny smith the harsh venomous words.

The girls gasped and Applejack tried to fix it. "Oh Granny, you didn't rest well and cranky again," she looked to Pinkie and Dash, "She's not well you two."

"The sooner they know the better. You are a disgusting abomination and should be gone like any filth," Granny spitting more venomous words.

The girls were in shock of this and Pinkie tried to speak. "Granny Smith, I always thought of you as family. Hearing you say these things are just…"

"I'm not staying in this Celestia forsaken place any longer. You are no kin of mine you two."

"Granny, wait…" Applejack chased after as she left out the door. Pinkie slowly began to cry. Feeling very upset that someone she considered close to turn their back so coldly.

Why is this happening to us? Why are ponies being so crude to us. I can't handle this Celestia awful moments.

Rainbowdash had everyone leave the shower early. Pinkie Pie and her needed to be there for support. Mostly Rainbowdash comforting Pinkie Pie from this ordeal. "Pinkie, we still have our friends. Most of all, we have each other and the sweet filly that'll bring joy to our world."

"I don't know Dashie. What's truth and what's lie. I can't tell anymore." Her mane drooped straight and low.

Rainbowdash didn't know what to do but she had to keep trying. "Pinkie Pie, we'll have bad times but we'll have good times too. You can count on the fact that the good will outweigh the bad for sure," she told her. Rubbing the side of her face to hers.

Her mane returned to a poofy curly self slowly. "You promise Dashie?" asking her hopefully.

"I promise you."
