For everyone wondering, I took the plot line from Jane the Virgin and gave it to MLP, but this is NOT a crossover since I am not using any characters from there.
I was just lying in bed thinking of a story where Applejack gets pregnant, and then all of a sudden JTV came into my mind, and thus a story was born!
I don't own MLPEG, they belong to Hasbro and Lauren Faust. I am also not being paid for my work.
This story is not plagiarised, any similarities other than JTV or original ideas between other fics are purely coincidental.
Chapter 1: What?
Applejack slowly opened her eyes, stirring as the sun gave her a good morning shine. She stretched and was about to get up until she felt something. Not something physical, a feeling deep into the pit of her stomach. Not happiness, not fatigue. More like… nausea?
She shrugged it off, as sometimes she tended to feel that way after working long hours into the night on the farm, which normally left dull aches all over. However, her thoughts changed when she could feel last night's dinner come up her throat, making her rush to the bathroom. It had been like this for about a week now, constantly throwing up in the mornings, but then she was fine. Eventually she ruled it out as a stomach bug. She threw up heavily for about five minutes when she could hear a light tapping at her bedroom door.
"Sis?" called Apple Bloom, knocking again. "You okay in there? Can I come in?"
Hearing no reply, only more heaving, Apple Bloom turned the door handle to find Applejack kneeling on the floor of her en-suite bathroom, expelling more bile from her stomach.
"Applejack! You okay?! Shall I help?"
She nodded solemnly.
Apple Bloom walked over to her sister and rubbed her back, telling her it would be alright and calming her down. When she was reduced to dry heaving, she walked over to the sink and rinsed out her mouth.
"I'm fine," Applejack eventually said, "it's probably just a stomach bug, I'll live. Come on, we got chores to do before Granny-"
She stopped when she saw the worried look on her little sister's face.
"I said I'm fine," she comforted her, "trust me. Let's go get the firewood."
And with that they walked off together, not saying another word.
Applejack's day was mediocre. She had a lot more chores than usual because harvest season was coming up, but the whole family was helping so she didn't really mind. But then morning changed to afternoon, and she began to feel dizzy. She again decided to shrug it off, farm girls usually were dizzy after a hard day's work, as mentioned before. But then all of a sudden, the outside world became blurry, and she could hear the faint cries of her siblings, begging and pleading for her to wake up…
Applejack woke up woozy, still seeing double vision and hearing the loud beeps of the heart monitor next to her hospital bed. Surrounding her were six silhouettes, each one muttering quietly to each other. Applejack groaned at the pain that pounded her head, it seemed to get worse every second.
"Applejack!" Twilight ran up to her and gave her a hug, along with everyone else. "We were worried sick about you, what happened? Are you okay?"
"I am now, thanks, Twilight. I... can't remember much, but..." she sat up, "I remember chopping up firewood, ploughing the fields, just doing my normal daily work, but then... everything was spinning and... I blacked out."
"You shouldn't have worked too hard, not when you're sick," said Rainbow Dash. "That, and the fact that you'd be more tired than usual. You should have called us."
"What do you mean, 'more tired than usual'?" asked Rarity, suspicious.
"Her period." Rainbow said, as if it should be obvious. She got nothing but blank expressions from all of them.
"Do none of you keep track of anyone else's cycles?" They all shook their heads.
"We can tell when others are on them, but we don't keep track on when they are supposed to start." clarified Sunset Shimmer, and all the girls nodded again.
"Oh." she said. "I keep track of all of ours. For example, Twilight finished hers a few days ago, Fluttershy's is starting in about a week, Pinkie and Rarity aren't on theirs, and Sunset Shimmer, AJ and I are on ours now."
"OK, now that's creepy," said Sunset Shimmer. "But, I have to admit useful."
"Let me guess, you keep track of our PMS symptoms too?" joked Twilight.
"Well-"
"Okayyy, too much information." said Sunset Shimmer. "Are you a stalker or something?"
"Wait," said Applejack, "I don't have mine."
Rainbow Dash stopped. "Wait, what? Did I get it wrong or-"
"No, " continued Applejack, "I mean that... I should. I missed last month. And I didn't get it a couple days ago, when I was supposed to, oh jeez, I've been so busy on the farm that I didn't notice I was late!"
"And if you add that to the fact that you have been throwing up these past few weeks..." Fluttershy trailed off, not wanting to state the obvious.
Applejack's eyes widened in horror. She hadn't even thought about marriage yet, let alone having a child, she was turning 22 in a month! 21 year olds should have to worry about graduating from college, and getting a job, trying to make their way in the world, not having a baby!
"But, you haven't-" said Rarity.
"No. I haven't had sex in the last 10 months, not since that night at the bar."
"Then, how is it possible?" said Twilight. "Unless you're a miracle mother and carrying baby Jesus, I don't see how you could be pregnant. It doesn't make sense..."
Just then, the nurse walked in, carrying a clipboard in one hand and a pen in the other. She looked very young, with dirty blonde hair that was tied up in a messy high ponytail, and bright green eyes.
"Applejack, is it?" she asked, leaving AJ no time to reply before she said, "It says here that you collapsed earlier this afternoon. Yes?"
"Yes," Applejack answered, slightly intimidated by the nurse's straightforwardness and how bluntly she was addressing the situation.
"You've also been throwing up in the mornings?" AJ nodded. "Well, your vital signs are fine, but we do need to do more tests to see it we can figure out why exactly you collapsed." The nurse was speaking very fast, and had a slight accent on her, though it was easy to understand her.
"What kind of tests?" Applejack narrowed her eyes at the lady.
"A urine test, and a blood test."
The whole room went silent for a couple of seconds, though it felt more like a couple of hours. The nurse had no idea of the previous topic that the girls were discussing, and it quickly became incredibly awkward.
"Is there a problem?"
"No," said Applejack quickly. "I'll take the tests."
The nurse handed her a clear plastic container.
"Pee in this cup, I'll be back in five minutes for it."
Applejack took the cup nervously and thanked the nurse, who left quite quickly.
"What if the test is positive?" said Sunset Shimmer, which may have been deemed as an inappropriate question, but she was really saying out loud what everyone else was thinking.
"I don't know." said Applejack, her mind blank for once. She got up from the bed and made her way towards the bathroom. "I really don't know. We'll just... have to wait for the results." And with that, she entered the bathroom and closed the door.
10 minutes later, the nurse (now known as Nurse Blackwell) came back with the test results. Earlier, while she took AJ's container to be tested, she had also come with a syringe for a sample of her blood. She had now re-entered the room with the same clipboard and pen, closing the door behind her.
"The results have come back in," she began hesitantly," ...and we have found levels of hCG in your blood and urine."
Twilight sat up, suddenly alert, and looked at Applejack, then Nurse Blackwell, then Applejack again.
"And that means..." said Rarity, who, like the rest of the group except Twilight, were confused.
"You're pregnant." said Twilight, which seemed to be the only thing she could say, as it looked like the words were taken out of her mouth.
'Could this be a dream?' thought Applejack. 'Could this be real?'
"But-but that's impossible!" exclaimed Applejack. "I haven't had sex! Well, I have, just, not in a long time! Like, months! I can't be pregnant!"
"Hmmm," the nurse scanned through the pages on her clipboard, trying to find a solution to this. "Are you sure that you haven't been sexually active?"
Applejack nodded. "It's been months. I'm not even in a relationship."
"In that case," the nurse finally stopped flicking through her notes, "I'll take a look through your medical history to see if there have been any..." she struggled to find the right word, "...complications. Alright?"
The only thing Applejack could do was nod, her mind was racing with thoughts, and questions, so many questions.
'What do I tell my family? What do I tell Granny?! Oh my God, why did this happen to me? How did it happen to me?'
Then, the most important question crossed her mind.
'Who's the father?'
