Magical Bond

Twilight finished wrapping the bandage around my leg.

“Now careful when you’re handling things without magic,” She kissed my hoof, causing me to blush a bit. “You know you’re not good at it.” I focused my vision to the suddenly interesting ground. She held me closer, allowing me to feel her growing pudge.

“I’m sorry…” She gave me a quizzical look.

“What for?” I shuffled away from her.

“For making you…you know…that.” She followed my hoof to her stomach and looked to the floor with a frown.

“It’s not a big deal…” My eyes snapped open.

“What!? Of course it is! YOU’RE BUCKING PREGNANT!” She dug her head into my chest to calm me down.

“It’s not a big deal because…” She looked up at me with a smile. “…I forgive you.”

I nuzzled her nose with mine and gently kissed her. Blitz suddenly crashed through the door with a loud THUD!

“Dusk! Twilight! Hospital, HURRY!” He broke sonic levels as he made his way towards the hospital. Dusk simply teleported.

“It’s fine, right? SHE’S FINE RIGHT!?” Elusive attempted to break past the nurse between him and the hall door.

“Yes Elusive, she’s fine.” The ponies could hear a very audible shriek from the room.

“Let me in, I tell you! LET ME IN!!” The ivory colt scrambled to get past the stationary nurse. Dusk trotted up to his close friend with extreme concern. Blitz crashed through the window, tumbling into Dash who scrambled to get him off of her. His look said ‘How the HECK did Dusk get here before me!?’

“Elusive, what’s going on?” His friend turned around with a frazzled mane and sags under his eyes.

“What’s going on? What’s going ON!?” Dusk stepped back a bit as Elusive drew closer. “I’ll tell you what’s going on Dusk, my lady is in there experiencing EXTREME pain…!” He paused as his eye twitched. “…AND I CAN’T BE THERE FOR HER!!” Dusk retreated to his rump in fear. The ponies heard another shriek before Elusive tackled the nurse, or at least tried to. “I’M COMING MILADY!” He again tried to tackle the nurse multiple times before giving up and crying into his hooves.

“Excuse me,” Dusk walked up to the nurse guarding the door with a confident smile. “I am Prince Dusk Shine,” The nurse cocked an eyebrow. “…I would so greatly appreciate it if…maybe…you could let my friend go see his marefriend?” The nurse grumbled before stepping aside to let the colt through. Elusive jerked upright with a wide grin.

“Oh, thank you Dusk Shine!” He hugged the lavender colt and trotted down the hall. The door was shut before another shriek erupted, except this one was more from horror. The doors burst open as Elusive toppled over the nurse and swiftly hid behind Butterscotch.

“What a monstrosity! Eeeewwwwww!!!!” Dusk giggled as the nurse cursed under his breath and closed the door.

“Ten hours…!” Blitz said, utterly bored. Elusive was intently watching the door, not even seeming to notice the cries of pain. Dash flipped around on her chair as the two apples each played tic-tac-toe with their pink friends. Dusk paced back and forth, but not because of the amount of time Rarity was taking. He was worried about Twilight. She was the only one NOT at the hospital. He would’ve been twiddling his thumbs if he had them again.

“Gah! I can’t take it anymore!” Everyone was surprised to see these words come out of Dusk Shine and not the rainbow maned pegasi, even Dusk himself. “I’m going to check on Twilight.” As if on cue, Twilight tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw that she was holding a foal. She blushed and looked down.

“I…guess you didn’t realize huh?” Dusk was silent. “I…” Twilight smiled. “I was here the whole time.”

“…”

“Dusk?”

“…” Twilight waved a free hoof in front of the colt’s face.

“Hello?”

“…WHAT!?” Twilight backed away and the foal started crying as Duskshine started his outburst. “I never got see my OWN FOAL born!?” He stared Twilight to the floor. “And you not only tell me AFTER, but like…THIS?”

Dusk jolted awake. He rubbed his eyes. He had fallen asleep in one of the waiting chairs. He looked around and saw that all of the colts had gone home except for Elusive. He looked outside and understood why, it was pitch black out. He glanced over at Elusive who had fallen asleep.

“He sure is devoted…” Dusk said out loud to himself. Elusive shuffled and muttered a few coherent words every now and then.

“Mmm…Rarity…Foal…Consequeces.” Yeah. Dusk knew. He was right, soooo not gentlecoltly. Dusk shuffled his hooves as he realized it was freezing. He popped a blanket into existence and laid it carefully onto Elusive. He groaned in response.

“What do I say?” Dusk asked himself, trying to figure out how to explain his tardiness. He opened the door and was shocked to see Spike next to an unconscious Twilight.

“What the HAY!?” Spike leaped back in surprise.

“Dusk! Thank goodness you’re here!” Spike lifted up a needle. “What is this?” Dusk levitated the medical needle in front of his face.

“Spike! These are drugs!” Spike held his claw to his mouth.

“Oh my gosh! What do you think happened?” Dusk narrowed his eyes.

‘She couldn’t have done it herself…could she?’
