Separate Beds

Chapter 2: Congratulations!

Previous Chapter

                 The pink pony sighed as she woke up the next morning on the bright side, it was on her own bed and not on Shining Armors, Cadence groaned as she realized all she was doing was reminding herself of the dreadful things that had happened.

She then felt her stomach it felt as if something was going to explode, Cadence gasped “oh no…..I didn’t have to much wine did I….?” Cadence asked herself even though it was obvious she didn't know the answer, she then buried her head in her soft pillow.

She prayed she wouldn’t get sick, she hated getting sick, who in Equestria didn't? Cadence put a hoof to her head and rubbed her forehead hoping she wasn’t getting a migraine again, like she did later at the Gala.

Cadence then tensed up as she felt the disgusting fluids heading towards her mouth, Cadence quickly covered her mouth with her hoof so she wouldn’t puke all over her bed.

She ran to the small bathroom in her cottage, and let everything out, leaving a very unpleasant taste in her mouth. The unicorn soon got a bottle of water and drank out of it, hoping for the taste to go away.

Cadence opened the fridge in her small house to see it almost empty besides two bottles of water and a apple, “I should probably go restock….” Cadence went and found her wallet, “6 bits…..I could probably get another apple….And if I’m lucky some hay…..”

The pink unicorn opened the door to her cottage with her magic to see Pinkie Pie, with a big smile on her face, it almost look like Pinkie pie smile was causing much pain to the pink earth pony, “Hi Cadence! I’ve been waiting for you to come out here since 6:30 in the morning! I am so happy to see you!”

The unicorn went and looked at her clock it was currently 9:15am, Cadence knew Pinkie Pie, which wasn't really saying anything since Pinkie pony knew everyone in town.

Cadence was actually not too happy to see the younger pony, she was not in the mood to see the forth wall breaking this enthusiastic pony could do, she wished that she was as happy and silly as the pink pony, she could only dream of living the way Pinkie Pie does.

“Um…not right now Pinkie I have to start shopping an-” The unicorn begun before being interrupted.

“I can come with you!” Pinkie Pie exclaimed before Cadence could finish.

“Oh…no that’s okay Pink-” once again before she could finish, Pinkie Pie was already hopping her way down the streets, Cadence thought she was going to get a migraine again.

Soon enough the two ponies were galloping down the street, Pinkie Pie was talking to whole way but Cadence was doing anything but listening.

All she could think about was this big lie she had gotten herself into, she hated lying so much, she looked around and saw a stand selling apples for one bit and ran up to it since there was one left, and it was on sale, apples were usually 3 bits.

“-And liveandlearn totally needs to learn how to write descriptions……..” Pinkie Pie turned to see no Cadence beside her, “Cadence where did you go?”

“Here’s your apple…” A stallion said to Cadence as she used her magic to put it in her bag.

“Thank you…..” She added to the stallion kindly, “now what should I get….?” Cadence asked herself, she looked around to see lettuce being sold for 2 bits, Cadence walked to it, and got out her money as she took the lettuce.

Pinkie Pie hopped over to Cadence “oh Cadence thank liveandlearn you’re here, for a second, I thought liveandlearn killed you, but why would she do that since she thinks your best Princess which is saying someting because everyone thinks Luna’s best princess!”

Cadence turned to Pinkie Pie “me, a Princess? What are you talking about, you have to be a alicorn to be a Princess, or at least born into the royal family, Pinkie Pie…..As you can see I’m a unicorn…..Also I am not in the royal family, you could probably tell…..”

Pinkie Pie smiled “I know that silly! But liveandlearn's viewers don’t! That’s why shes making this pawn in order to let everyone know this is an alternative Universe fimfiction and you’re not a alicorn Princess in it!”

Cadence was getting more confused by the second “whose liveandlearn….Fimfiction…..?” She looked over at the forth wall breaking pony, and rolled her eyes “forget it…..” She thought.

     Cadence entered her small cottage, she was finally able to get Pinkie Pie to leave her alone

Her back was aching like crazy and last she remembered the small amount of food in her bag wasn’t heavy at all.

“What is wrong with me?” She kept asking herself, was she getting some kind of disease? She couldn’t be……Could she….?

“Maybe I should go to a clinic……” She wondered as she laid in her bed, she could barely fall asleep she was so stressed, so hurt, yet so tired.

“I’ll go to a clinic tomorrow” she said aloud as she hoped to fall asleep in her bed instead of staying up till 1:00 in the morning.

THE NEXT DAY

Cadence quietly sat in a room within the clinic, waiting for a doctor to come to her needs, soon somepony around her age Cadence didn’t know came in, he was a red earth pony with a orange mane and quite a lazy expression.

“Hello……Cadence is it?” The male doctor asked, as the pink unicorn nodded, “my name is big Macintosh, but you can call me Doctor Mac, tell me…..What is wrong…..”

Cadence gulped loudly, this was her first time at a clinic, “well…..” Cadence cleared her throat “I’ve been having back pain, and it just would come out of no where, even when I wasn’t holding something heavy….”

Cadence watched as Big Mac wrote on the clipboard he had, “yeeeeeup….” He noted, which was, to Cadence, a signal to continue.

“And even when I haven’t drank, I always puke in the morning!”

Big Mac had put the clipboard away the minute the pink mare had said that, “and let me guess……You have weird cravings all the time, you're gaining weight even though you don’t eat much and you're keep getting migraines……”

Cadence mouth dropped “h-how did you know…..?” Cadence asked, “because, its almost obvious…..Congratulations!” Doctor Mac said happily.

Cadence could only wonder what the stallion was talking about, “huh? Congratulations? For what….?”

“You’re pregnant!”
