Pinkie Pie awoke the next morning and walked downstairs to clean the mess from the party yesterday before the shop opened. Looking around, Pinkie Pie gasped in shock. The shop had been cleaned within an inch of it's life, probably cleaner than it was before the party.
"Pen? You awake?" she asked nervously, looking in the kitchen. She gasped again to see mountains of fresh pastries ready to be placed out for sale.
Pen pulled another tray out of the oven and set it down before turning to the party pony "Hey Pinkie, did I wake you up?"
Pinkie shook her head "No, I came down to clean but you seem to have done that for me. How'd you do all this?"
Pen sighed "Sorry, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I guess it's either a side effect of being you, or the fact that I'm worried I'll never see my family again."
Pinkie Pie hugged Pen "It'll be alright, you're friends will figure this out, I know it."
Pen sighed and smiled "Thanks Pink, now come on, we've got a shop to run."

Rainbow Dash sighed and lounged on a cloud, thoughts buzzing around in her head. It'd been almost two weeks since Applejack told Rainbow Dash what had happened at the doctors, and Rainbow Dash was still a mix of worried and excited. Rarity was walking alone below when she looked up and saw Rainbow Dash.
"Rainbow Dash! Dahling how are you and your foal today?"
Rainbow Dash sighed and hopped off her cloud, gliding down in front of the fashionable unicorn "The foal's fine, I'm worried about being a mom still."
Rarity frowned and nods "I see. Well dear maybe you should go talk to Lyra or Bon Bon."
Rainbow Dash looked puzzled "Who?"
Rarity smiled "Bon Bon's a cream colored earth pony with a blue and pink mane and a candy cutie mark. Lyra's a mint green unicorn with a Lyre cutie mark."
Dash continued to stare blankly.
Rarity now rolled her eyes in annoyance "The pony that sits on benches weird."
Rainbow Dash nods "Oh her! What can she tell me about parent hood?"
Rarity smiled "She and Bon Bon have a little filly of their own. Her names Tootsie Flute. I think Sweetie Bell met her a few times at the playground."
Rainbow Dash sighed and put a hoof on her middle "I guess it couldn't hurt. Do you know where either of them are?"
Rarity tapper her chin with her hoof. "Hmm, I'm not sure. Try the park, that's where they usually take their daughter to play."
Rainbow Dash smiled "Thanks Rarity, I'll see you later." Dash said as she trotted over to the park.
-FIM-
Rainbow Dash was on her was to the park when she spotted Derpy Hoof walking in the same direction with her daughter Dinky.
Derpy's a mom twice over, she might be able to help just as well as Lyra or Bon Bon can. Dash thought as she moved towards the mail pony
"Uhh, Hi Derpy." Rainbow Dash greeted with a small smile.
Derpy smiled and waved "Hi Rainbow Dash! You're looking nice today, muffinhood suits you."
Rainbow Dash was about to ask what she meant but Dinky intervened "She means motherhood. She likes to say she's got a little muffin in the oven."
Dash nods "Right. So Derpy, do you enjoy being a mom?"
Derpy beamed "Being a mommy is the best thing that ever happened to Derpy! I love Dinky so much and I raise her with all the care I can. Derpy, Derpy admits it was hard to do all alone, but this time it's different! Derpy has Inky by her side and she couldn't be happier! Inky is a wonderful Father for Dinky and takes care of Derpy too." the pegasus stated, blinking away brief tears, earning a small pat on the shoulder from Dinky.
Rainbow Dash smiled "Sounds like it. Say, where is Inky anyway?"
As if on cue, the dark blue unicorn trotted up with a large basket in his teeth. Setting the basket down he panted "Sorry Derpy, I had to wait a little while for Pinkie and her new friend to make the blueberry muffins, but you'll be happy to know there fresh, and I got the colt to put a fried egg on some of them the way you like." he explained, making Dash and Dinky turn green for a brief moment.
Derpy swooned "Daww, Inky is so good to Derpy and her foal."
Inky kissed her "Inky loves Derpy and her foals deeply."
Dinky saw Rainbow Dashes face and giggled "Nice to see I'm not the only one aware of how gross that sounds."
Dash nods "Tell your parents I said bye, I'm going to the park now to find Lyra."
Dinky bounced up and down "Ooh! I know where she is! She's sitting on her favorite bench at the park! I'm going to play with Tootsie today!"
Rainbow Dash smiled "You don't say?"
-FIM-
Following the Hoofs, Rainbow Dash smiled as she saw Lyra sitting on a bench, watching Tootsie Flute prance about.
Squealing with joy, Dinky dashed off to join her friend. Trotting over, Dash looked at Lyra and smiled nervously. "Uh, hey. Nice day isn't it?"
The unicorn smiled at her and nodded "Yep, really good day to let the foals run around. Though I still think you've got a ways to go yet before you have to worry about it." she laughed, her voice chiming like a bell.
Rainbow Dash blushed, trying to keep her wings under control "Err, yeah. Listen, I was wondering, whats it like having a kid? I'm really, really nervous about having this foal and now that my girlfriends pregnant too, that worries been like, doubled."
Lyra smiled gently "I can safely say I know exactly where your coming from. Come, sit down and rest a while. MY name's Lyra if you didn't know already."
Rainbow Dash nodded appreciatively and sat next to her. "Thanks, I'm Rainbow Dash. Sorry about asking you out of the blue but"
"But Rarity told you me and Bon Bon were the only other lesbian parents in town and might have advice? It's fine, I know what a gossip she can be."
Rainbow dash chuckled and nods "Yeah. So, you said you knew the feeling?"
Lyra sighed "Well, after Bon Bon and I decided to have a kid, I started to worry a lot. Was I gonna be a good mom? What if the kid turned out to be weird or worse. It a was awful, but all the while I had Bon Bon to back me up, saying no matter what she had my back, and we'd raise one of the best foals I'd ever seen. And you know what? We did. Tootsie is a handful, but I wouldn't trade a thing for her. She's my little girl you know?"
Rainbow Dash wiped her eyes dry and nodded "Yeah, I think I do now. Thanks Lyra, I'm gonna get going now."
Lyra nods "Okay. It's was nice talking to you Rainbow Dash. Maybe I'll see you around here one day."
Rainbow Dash grinned "You got it Lyra."

Applejack sighed and stretched, apple bucking was a lot harder when you're pregnant. Walking into the living room she was hit with a surprise kiss from Rainbow Dash. Kissing the pegasus pony back, Applejack grinned "Hey sugar, what's got ya in such a good mood?"
Rainbow Dash smiled and hugged her fillyfriend "I just went to see some friends of mine and had a good talk with them." she said smiling.
Applejack laughed "Okay. Hey, ah'm gonna git dinner started, wanna help?"
Rainbow Dash nods "Sure thing babe. Oh and before I forget" she kissed applejack again "I love you and as long as we're together I know we can do anything."
Applejack blushed and nodded "O-okay. thats good to hear. I love ya too Rainbow Dash."
