THESE TWO HEARTS

by Lina Shay

Chapter Seven: The Newest Arrival

Slugger, Fizzy and Steamer followed Heartthrob back to Paradise Estate at a run. They stopped right outside the unicorn's room just as Wind Whistler came out.

"What, what is it?" Slugger demanded.

"The baby is coming out tail first," Wind Whistler told them. "She'll need help. We require assistance from the Moochick."

"I'll get him," Steamer offered.

"No!" Slugger said. "I'll do it. Where is the Moochick?"

"IknowI'llshowyourightwhereheisFollowmeifyoucankeepup!" Whizzer said really quickly.

"I can keep up with anyone," Slugger said firmly. He turned to Fizzy, "Take care of her."

Fizzy nodded. Slugger and Whizzer ran out of Paradise Estate.

"For everyone else," Wind Whistler began to the crowd, "I think it will be best if you just go to your rooms and go to bed. There's nothing you can do."

All the ponies went to their rooms. But Steamer stayed with Fizzy since Wind Whistler wouldn't allow the unicorns in the room. Fizzy was glad he stayed.

"Someone should be in there with her," Fizzy insisted.

"Sweet Stuff and Galaxy are in there," Wind Whistler told her. "They are attending to her every requirement."

"But I'm her best friend," Fizzy said earnestly. "Please, let me in!"

"A best friend has no logical use in the birthing process," Wind Whistler announced.

"Come on, Wind Whistler!" Gusty exclaimed. "Have a heart!"

"Yeah," Ribbon pleaded. "This a trying experience. Buttons will need her best friend there for comfort."

"I am much grieved," Wind Whistler said adamantly, "but I cannot admit you."

The door opened. All eyes were on Sweet Stuff as she came out.

"Galaxy says I can't help anymore," she whispered. "Nothing can be done until the Moochick gets here...Fizzy, Buttons is asking for you."

Fizzy looked at Steamer. He gave her a reassuring smile. She walked half-way into the room, then stopped to look back at Steamer. As if he read her mind, he said, "I'll be here when you come out."

Fizzy smiled and continued in. Buttons lay in her bed, covered in sweat, with Galaxy by her side. Her eyes were closed, and she was breathing heavily. Galaxy whispered something to Buttons, and she opened her eyes.

"Fizzy," came her very tired and feeble voice.

Fizzy galloped over to her and sat beside her bed.

"Where's Slugger?" Buttons asked quietly.

"He went to get the Moochick," Fizzy said, just as quiet. "Are you in great pain?"

"Not just now," Buttons whispered, her eyelids falling.

Fizzy rubbed her unicorn horn against Buttons's. Buttons smiled slightly. The door burst open, and the Moochick ran in, followed by Slugger and Habit.

"All of you out!" The Moochick ordered. "Only the patient, the father to-be and Habit should be in here with me."

Galaxy led Fizzy out of the room. As the door closed, Buttons let out a scream. Fizzy felt this terrible yank in the pit of her stomach. Fizzy's heart was pounding, and she couldn't get her breathing to stay regular.

"I hope she's going to be OK," Fizzy whispered, biting her lip with concern.

"Don't worry," Steamer said to her softly. "Buttons has a lot of coal left in her furnace."

Fizzy nodded, but she wasn't any more at ease. Her best friend was in there, and who knew what else was going wrong this very minute. Fizzy bit her lip, trying to keep from crying. Suddenly, she felt Steamer get close to her and put a hoof around her shoulder. She was glad. She needed the comfort being near him gave her. Too distressed about Buttons to act shy, Fizzy lay her head against his neck as he nuzzle her mane.

"It is my opinion that I would should be permitted to assist," Wind Whistler announced. "Considering, I have extensive knowledge in birthing a-"

She was hushed when a loud cry sounded. It wasn't Buttons's screams either. It was a baby's cry. Fizzy felt like she was going to cry herself. The door slowly opened, and the Moochick came out, holding a baby pony in his arms. The baby was so plump and cute, with rosy magenta skin and a soft, white mane.

"It's a girl," the Moochick announced.

"OhmygoshIhavetotelleveryone!" Whizzer said quickly, zooming off down the hall.

"You all can come in now," the Moochick told them, leading the way into the room.

Fizzy, Steamer, Wind Whistler, Gusty, Galaxy, Ribbon and Mimic walked into the room just as the Moochick handed Buttons her baby. Slugger stood next to her bed and stared adoringly down at his newborn. There was a outpour of ohhs and awhs when the baby yawned.

"I think you can handle it from here. Tell me if you have anymore problems," the Moochick told Buttons and Slugger. With that, he and Habit were on their way.

"Now that I have viewed the infant," Wind Whistler began as she left the room, "I conclude that I ought to return to my abode."

"Why don't you boys leave too," Buttons suggested, her eyes still on her newborn.

"But, Buttons-!" Slugger whined. "You WANT me to go?"

"Of course not," Buttons told him, "but I want you to get some sleep, and you aren't allowed to sleep in Paradise Estate."

Slugger kissed her forehead gently. Fizzy looked at Steamer. He was leaving, too. Maybe he would kiss her goodbye. He didn't. Steamer just gave her a smile, then left with Slugger. Fizzy turned out the light and climbed into bed.

"What're you going to name her?" Fizzy asked in a whisper.

"Baby Buttons," Buttons smiled.

"Seriously?" Fizzy demanded.

"No," Buttons laughed, looking down at her sleeping babe. "She's her own pony and needs her own name. Well, she has my pink skin, but her daddy's hair color. She'll be a unicorn when it grows in. I think I'll call her Dazzle."

"Why Dazzle?" Fizzy asked out of curiosity.

"Because she has her aunt's eyes," Buttons explained.

The newborn lifted her lids to reveal sparkling diamond eyes just like Fizzy's.

"Wow, she really does look like a Dazzle," Fizzy said adoringly. "How did that happen?"

"Who could say," Buttons whispered. "Goodnight, Fizzy."

"'Night, Buttons," Fizzy said back. "Goodnight, Dazzle."

A/N: This is in hopes that there is not already a pony named Dazzle.
