Finally the day had arrived for the party. Unfortunately the little one had yet to decide to join the world and more importantly her family's celebration of her, but the party had a scheduled date and Granny Pie was determined to stay on schedule, even if her grandchild was not. Besides it was also a farm warming party and the farm was ready to be warmed by all those welcoming ponies.

Family and friends of family came from all over Equestria to celebrate the new family and their home, aunts and uncles from Manehatten, cousins from Canterlot, nieces and nephews from Fillidelphia, and grandparents from Las Pegasus, and so on and so on. Everypony was super excited to enjoy the company around them and start the party, most excited of all being Granny Pie, "Ah just can't wait to show everypony the new game ah've invented for your fill, or colt, even if she or he ain't here yet. Remind me to teach that little one manners and about how important it is to be on time especially to a party."

"I will ma, how you doing Cloudy? Its almost time to start the party, you about ready to go?" Igneous asked concerned, "Ma would you head down stairs and begin the party? We'll be down in just a minute."

"Sure thing sonny, I thought ya'd never ask!" she said heading out of the room and down the stairs.

"I'm fine dear, I'm just worried about this one," she said referring to her still growing stomach, "what kind of decedent of your mother would ever think to be late for, much less miss, a party? Especially one thrown in their honor?"

"Oh dear relax it's not like that baby knows this party is for it or even going on at all. It's not a choice it's just how the timing worked out."

"Trust me dear, it knows! Every time we talk about the party even in the itty bitty tiniest of tiny sense, it feels like the filly is jumping up and down in my stomach."

"Don't be silly, that's impossible it couldn't possi—" Igneous was suddenly interrupted by his wife moaning in pain and shock, "whoa! Whoa, what's wrong honey? What is it?" his heart filled with terror at the possibilities of something going wrong.

Unable to answer her husband through the pain, Cloudy began to fall to her knees, knowing the baby was finally coming. Of course… it would choose the most inconvenient time,… but at least we know it wasn't… late for the… party.., or tried not… to be anyway. But what… about all… the… ponies waiting for …us downstairs and… there's no time… for… the hospital… oh dear. Igneous… stop worrying… its all fine… just… get… your… mother for heaven's sake! She thought to herself through the surges of pain.

Igneous ran to the door and began frantically calling for his mother, not know what else he could do, "SOMEPONY PLEASE SEND HER! ANY PONY! PLEASE SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH CLOUDY!"

The crowed of ponies down stairs grew silent hearing the commotion going on above the. Some pony even turned the music off in attempts to hear better. All was still as they strained to hear Igneous' mumbled calls for help, well all but one pony. Granny Pie remained dancing happily in the center of the room, in her own little world one might say. She had remained completely unaware of the serious situation growing around her, "This sure is a great party Ah'd say, one of tha best Ah've thrown in ma life!" She said loudly to the pony next to her, drawing the attention of the room.

After a few minutes of no response, Igneous decided the only way his wife and future child were going to receive help is if he went downstairs to interrupt the party and get it himself. "Wait here honey, everything's going to be just fine." He said trying to convince himself mostly. She was in far too much pain to notice him or understand what he was saying to her. "I'll be right back with help!" he yelled back at her as he began out the door.

As he reached the bottom of the stairs he could not believe what he saw. Everypony was staring in shock at one pony dancing in the center of the room, as if they'd never seen anything like it before, and he had a pretty good idea of whom that dancing pony was. "Granny Pie!" he called with no response, aside from a couple of ponies next to him turning to look. "I swear Granny Pie! This is no time for your sill dancing and parting." He muttered to himself as he made his way through the crowd of ponies. "Granny!" he called once again as he reached the place where she was dancing.

This time she heard him, "Oh! Finally welcome to your party son!" she said still dancing completely oblivious to his serious tone, "isn't this a great party? Everypony is having a wonderful time. Ah think it's one of tha best parties Ah've ever thrown don'tcha think so too?"

"Moth…"

"Where is Cloudy by the way? Shouldn't she be here by now? She is carrying the guest of honor after all."

"But Granny…"

"Ah'll tell you what Ah sure love that mare of yours, but if that youngin grows up with poor manners, well it'll be her ta blame."

"Mother…" he said beginning to become annoyed and frustrated at not being able to get through to her.

"Don'tcha worry though Ah can fix that, for both of them. Now will ya'll go upstairs n get the guest of honor and its mother to come down already?"

"I'd love to mother but there's a bit of a problem."

"Oh?! What is it?" a look of terror flooded Granny Pie's face and she froze in place like a statue, "Oh dear! She doesn't like the party! Ah knew it that's why she won't come down isn't it? What doesn't she like?" she dashed off at light speed to the refreshment table before he could even blink, "is it the punch? I thought blue raspberry punch with strawberry straws was her favorite?!" she pleaded.

"No ma it's not…" he tried to say as she whipped past him to the DJ.

"Is it the music? Maybe she wants something more mellow in her condition or maybe rock to encourage that little one to come out and paaarrrrtaaaay? Or maybe some other type?"

"It's not the par…"

Again she dashed across the room so fast it seemed as though she was teleporting there. "It's this huge crowd of ponies isn't it? She's always been a bit shy…I know c'mon everypony let's take this party outside and play some games in the fresh air it'll be better for everypony anyway and it's such a nice day Ah can't believe Ah didn't think of it before!"

The crowd of ponies turned to her in confusion and slowly began to head outside. "No Granny Pie," Igneous finally said, stopping everypony in their tracks, "please just listen to me?"

"Oh…well if you insist on it we'll…" she stopped as everypony shhhhed her, they had been growing tired of the commotion and they too wanted to know what was going on with the beloved Cloudy Quartz.

Igneous ran up to his mother, "The real reason she has yet to come down has nothing to do with your wonderful party. She helped you plan it and she thinks it's great. It's because the baby is coming and we need your help. Cloudy is upstairs in a lot of pain and I don't know how to help or what to do. Since you couldn't hear me calling I came downstairs to get you."

Granny Pie gasped loudly and happily and then burst up the stairs before anypony knew what was happening, leaving her son and every other pony very confused and stunned in silence.

I hope everypony is enjoying the story so far. Sorry it has been slow going, but please feel free to give advise and such, I'd greatly appreciate your ideas. Also for those of you who do not already know, if you are enjoying this story I have also begun writing one about Applejack as well starting when Applebloom is born. I plan to write stories for like this for all the main 6 as well as Princesses Luna and Celestia and maybe one on Discord and Spike as an egg before Twilight. If you have ideas on how to write those I'd be glad to hear them as well. Thank you.
