"Oh, I don't feel good." Rainbow moaned, getting out of her cloudy bed and stumbling into the bathroom just in time to throw up into the toilet. It had been two weeks since Pinkie's party and Twilight was still in Canterlot. No pony had dared to tell Twilight how everything seemed to have gone from bad to worse, they were all worried that it would cause Twilight to leave her important job as a princess to come and deal with the small town drama of Ponyville. "What's happening to me?" Rainbow moaned as she threw up again. "I don't think I caught anything..." She thought out loud, sinking to the floor and curling into a ball. Eventually, Tank found his way into the bathroom to try and comfort her. "Tank, I'm dying!" She moaned before throwing up again, she was sure her worries were valid as she called the pony hospital. "Yes, please send a Pegasus right away." She groaned into the receiver. "And hurry!" She managed to get out before vomiting into the toilet again.
An hour later, Applejack arrived at the hospital, not to visit her sick wife, but to be admitted herself. Since they were married, they got a joint room with beds next to one another.
"Hey." Rainbow Dash smiled weakly when they wheeled her into the room.
"Hey there." Applejack nodded back before reaching for her bucket.
"Sick too huh?" Rainbow asked, Applejack nodded again but this time her face was in the bucket.
They spent hours in the room, giving these liquids for these tests and saying 'ah' for this doctor or that nurse. Finally a male doctor trotted in and wiped his glasses on his sleeve.
"Sorry ladies," He drawled. "We can't figure out what's wrong with you." Both of the two mares look horrified until Rainbow sighed.
"I think it's time we called Twilight." She decided. Applejack was about to argue but a bout of bile came up from her mouth when she went to speak so she simply nodded again.
"Hello, this is Twilight." Twilight beamed answering the phone, she knew it was finally her friends calling to say they missed her and wanted her to come home and help with the preparations.
"Oh, hello Doctor, to what-" She began but the doctor interrupted and informed her about Rainbow and Applejack's mysterious illness. "Have you talked to Zecora?" Twilight asked hesitantly, she didn't want to leave Canterlot over a simple bug, but Zecora had gone to a visit to her home land, Twilight knew that. "Yes Doctor, I'll be there right away." Twilight sighed then hung up the phone and disappeared, only to reappear in the Ponyville hospital.
"I didn't think you meant right away." The doctor joked but Twilight only smiled then asked.
"Where are they?" He lead her to her sick friends' bedsides. "Thank you Doctor, I can take it from here." Twilight mumbled as she began examining on her own. It wasn't even two minutes later when she found the cause of the vomiting. "You're pregnant!" She said with excitement to Applejack. Applejack and Rainbow looked excitedly as tears of joy filled their eyes only to be replaced with tears being squeezed out at the corners from the hydro pumping action coming from their mouths.
"Wait, if she's pregnant, then why do I have the same symptoms?" Rainbow asked quietly. Twilight didn't have an answer until she examined Rainbow the same way as she examined Applejack.
"No, that's not possible." Twilight said in hushed tones.
"What?" Rainbow asked concerned, grabbing for her wife's hove, preparing for bad news.
"You're pregnant too?" Twilight questioned causing Rainbow and Applejack's mouths to fall open. "But that doesn't make any sense... Unless." Twilight had a moment of disgust cross her face before asking, "Applejack, before Rainbow became a mare again, did you take a shower before you two... Did it again?" Twilight asked uncertainly, causing every pony's face to flush red.
"I can't remember." Applejack confessed. "What are you thinking, Twilight?" She wondered aloud with worry.
"I think that Rainbow may have impregnated herself with her own liquids which were still untouched by you." Twilight said slowly, seeing if it sounded right. It was a reasonable answer sure, but it sounded anything but right. No pony said anything for awhile.
"Well," Rainbow Dash began, "We all knew that there was a possibility to be parents and now," She grabbed Applejack's hoof "We knew for certainty."
"Certainty squared." Twilight smiled looking at her two friends as they kissed. "Well now that I'm here," Twilight began, sitting at the edge of Rainbow's bed as they finished kissing, "How's the wedding planning going?" Both Rainbow and Applejack exchanged a look. Should they tell her?
"Well Twilight," Rainbow began, "Something happened while you were gone and-" But Applejack interrupted.
"Rarity is having a harder time with the dress than planned and Pinkie is going to be helping her more than normal. So we aren't really needed in the planning any longer because the planning is doing fine on its own." Applejack blurted.
"What?" Twilight asked. Applejack, being the element of honesty wasn't a very good lair and her thought process wasn't the best on that subject.
"What Applejack meant was that everything is running so smoothly that we don't really need to help and we are seeing what happens if we just let them figure it out on their own." Rainbow explained smiling once she had finished. Twilight didn't really understand it completely but her horn began to glow, a call from Celestia.
"Sounds like you have it under control, I have to go." Twilight burst before disappearing on the spot. Applejack turned to her wife "Why did you lie for me?"
"What makes you think I wanted to tell her that Pinkie uninvited us to her own wedding?" Rainbow asked with an eyebrow raised.
"Technically," Applejack smiled awkwardly "I uninvited myself because you weren't invited."
"I love you AJ." Rainbow sighed feeling suddenly exhausted.
"Not as much as I love you." Applejack kissed her wife's hoof that was in her own.
"Doubtful." Rainbow yawned before falling asleep again.
