Ch. 6 Decisions
It had been a month after the incident. Pinkie Pie wasn't feeling so good at the moment. The past couple mornings have been rather unpleasant as her head hung over the toilet. Rainbowdash would rub her back but Pinkie realized what was going on. "Rainbowdash, I'm pregnant. There's no other explanation for this," she brought up.
"What do you want to do Pinkie? There are a couple options to do. I can understand what you feel right now." Rainbowdash said.
I would never want to abort the filly. So we'll have to decide on adoption because I don't know if keeping the baby would be best. Pinkie thought.
"Lets go see a doctor tomorrow. Will you be alright?" she asked Pinkie.
Pinkie Pie nodded and washed herself up. Went over to talk to Twilight about the situation while Rainbowdash worked. Knocking the door real loud so Twilight could hear her. "Pinkie, what are you doing here? Is everything alright?" asked Twilight.
"You're the somepony I needed to talk with. May I come in?" she requested. Twilight let her in and they walked to a little area with comfortable seats. "I got some news but I don't know whether to call it good or bad news." Pinkie started out.
"You been through a lot and you should think of whether or not to talk about what you want to talk about." Twilight suggested.
"Twilight, I'm undecided whether to keep the filly growing inside me," Pinkie spoke out without thought.
Twilight had this surprised look on her face, "You do hold a precious life inside you. I'm sure you're pro-life and choose not to abort."
"You're right about that. I just don't know if being a parent of filly born out of rape would be alright with me. I'm worried that he or she might look like the rapist. Yet a part of me is twisted on giving the filly for adoption. I know I'm concerned about the upbringing."
"First off Pinkie Pie, a baby can't look like someone you haven't seen before. No one will judge you for putting the filly for adoption. You'll have to listen to what your heart tells you. The girls are here to support you in any way, you and Rainbowdash both," Twilight reassured. Spike came over with some cookies and tea.
Leaving Twilight's Castle and walking back home. I wasn't really thinking about being a mother anytime soon. I'm so conflicted whether to keep or put up for adoption. Sweet Celestia, isn't there an answer to this problem.
When she came home that Rainbowdash was home early. "Hey Pinkie, how are you doing?" she asked with a smile on her face. Pinkie Pie gave a bleak smile and sat at the table.
"Dashie, I wanted to ask you," she sighs then takes a deep breath, "What should we do with the filly inside me?"
Rainbowdash put the dish on the table and set up the plates, silverware, and glasses. She sat down in a moment of silence. "I'm sure you're feeling uneasy about keeping. You'd be more concerned for putting up for adoption. You're pretty torn at the moment but there's one thing Pinkie."
"What is that Rainbowdash?" Pinkie Pie questioned.
"I know you have plenty of time and you'll find your answers," Rainbowdash said and placed her hoof over Pinkie's.
Pinkie looked into Rainbow's eyes and felt relieved. The share a kiss and eat dinner. They spent the evening just listening to the radio then prepared for bed soon. "Dashie, could we go to Rarity's tomorrow. I'm sure she'll have some clothes she can work on. I really don't want too many people know about the filly right now. Rainbow nodded and she was relieved.
Pinkie would be running nightmare central in her dreams. All these scenarios going on and what could be or might be. There wasn't much rest until Luna came to her. "Hello there, what bothers you this night. Is it the criminal that got away with the heinous crime?"
"I'm just concerned about the filly that is in me. I don't know what to think right now," Pinkie sounding upset.
"You are feeling that the baby might be life changing no matter what. You feel responsible for the future as well. You carry a heavy burden on your shoulders," Luna said to her.
Pinkie could only look down and her eyes turned to the side. "I know I might be exaggerating things like the looks. I know I'm not great with kids but I think of how I might rob the filly of a good home and family. All I got is time right now to work with till then."
"Don't worry my dear Pinkie Pie. Ponies dream all sorts of things and you wouldn't believe some of the things some have been through. Stay strong, you and your partner will find a way to do this," Luna reassured.
Pinkie woke up and went to the kitchen to drink some juice. She stayed up the rest of the night. I've been getting a lot of help and I'm sure time will definitely decide things. I hope whatever decision I make will be the best one.
Rainbowdash woke up later and found Pinkie sleep on the table with a little of juice in a glass. She put a blanket over her. Pinkie, I know you and you are a great pony. I'll love you no matter what happens. If I could make things better, I would do it in a heartbeat. I'll see for sure things get dealt with for sure.
It was a month later, when the all the friends were hanging out. "I know I would love to treat the girls to a spa day but I don't want things to be complicated for Pinkie Pie," Rarity spoke up. "It must be rough for you dear."
"Here's some apple fritters for you Pinkie. Our family's special recipe. The little one must love sweets too," Applejack said cheerfully.
"You have something on your mind Pinkie, don't you?" Rainbowdash asked her.
"Yes, I've made my decision. I just hope you're alright with it Dashie," Pinkie looked at Rainbowdash. The others were looking at her as well. "I've decided to keep the filly. I overcame my fears for one thing and that life is about risk."
"I'm here for you Pinkie Pie. I love you," Rainbow said.
The girls were all a chatter about it. "Well hay Pinkie Pie, we'll get a baby shower going when the time is right."
"I'm sure you two will make great parents," Fluttershy said to them.
You're going to be born into a world of love. Pinkie thought in her mind while placing her hoof over her stomach.
