A dark day
Both kinds of tears
Previous ChapterNext ChapterShe was grounded. Not literally. No she was stuck inside a house, no flying, no walking or running. "It could hurt the foals." "It could damage Your ankles," "Your stomach already touches the ground when you stand up." She didn't want to hurt them, but she wanted to run, fly and be with her friends. She wanted this weight to be gone. She wanted her life back, and no matter how unrealistic that sounded she prayed for it ever sing night. According to Twilight her "Cuties," will be ready to come out in about a week. She was huge, it took her fifteen minutes to stand up. She waddled, never walking. Her back always hurt, her ankles were swollen and she found herself eating things she absolutely hated. with such a thing. Being pregnant is not all it's cracked up to be. Every single time the babies moved or kicked she cried. Not because she was so happy to be blessed with such an amazing gift. It's because it hurt like hell. Every single time Dash would always bring her meds to fix it. The pain never left; Her room turned into a nursery. With two cribs, one yellow and the other blue. She did not want her child wearing pink. Not in one million years. The cribs were full of multi colored stuffed animals and one quilt each. Sewn by the surprisingly skilled Fluttershy. Her dresser had foal clothing from Rarity. Each of a different design and color. Not that she was ever in there, she practically lived in the couch. Nopony except Twilight and Fluttershy came to visit her. She was very lonely. Even with her sister always by her side she wanted her friends. They haven't talked to her since she could remember. They were probably ashamed of her, sucked by the thought of a fourteen year old mare having foals. If you really thought about it, if anypony in their right mind saw it, they would think off her as a slut. Just like her friends. The thought brought a tear to Scootaloo's eye.
"But Apple Jack! Ah need ta see her!" Apple Bloom yelled trying to get past her older sibling. She was blocking the entrance to the barn. Apple Bloom didn't know why Apple Jack wasn't letting her go see Scootaloo. She knows that Scoots is with Dash up in Cloudsdale but Twilight can cast that spell on her, but Apple Jack wanted nothing to do with Scootaloo. She didn't want her sister hanging out with such a pony. Even if it was the rape and abuse how could she just drink alcohol. How could she just make such half brained decisions like keeping them? They will be known as the rape foals. They will be picked on bullied casted out. Nopony will accept them. They should just put them out of their misery. She didn't dare say the word out loud, she didn't even like thinking it. Apple Jacks face fell, seeing her sisters eyes so full of hope. Hoping her friend is okay. It made her feel horrible. She would go see her friend no matter what the situation even if they were in the burning pits of hell she would find them. Her eyes welded up, she put her head down allowing her hat to fall. Her sister was so big. So mature, she would be okay. She could handle the truth. Couldn't she?
"Apple Jack, ahm sorry sis. Ah won't go," Apple Bloom started trying to pick her sisters hat off the dusty old barn floor. Apple Jack moved out of the way, allowing her sister to finally leave.
"Be safe," She whispered into Apple Blooms ear. Apple Bloom almost yelled in happiness.
"Sweetie Belle, we need to talk honey," Rarity said knowing that no matter how hard she tried her sister would soon find out. Her sister had discovered Scootaloo bleeding in the school but never questioned when Rarity explained that "Scootaloo had a stomach ache." Sweetie knew better, she knew that her friend was really sick. She knew that Rarity was just trying to make it sound better.
"Yes Rarity," Sweetie answered hoping that she would finally explain about Scootaloo or at least tell her why she has been making foal clothes.
"Scootaloo isn't sick, she is well," How could she tell her sister that Scootaloo her six year friend was pregnant with two rape babies. That Scootaloo is an drunk and that she was abused? There is no way to sugar coat that at all. Sweetie was waiting patiently for Rarity to continue, she looked to calm, so chill but inside she was blowing up she was crying and screaming. There was a loud knock at the door. Sweetie stood up instantly not wanting to hear about her friends illness. It was Apple Bloom.
"Sweetie Belle! We gotta go an see Twilight! She can show us Scoots!" Apple Bloom yelled grabbing Sweetie by the horn. She smiled and looked at Rarity, she was crying and waving her sister off.
"Thank Celestia," she said between sobs, she didn't half to explain anything.
"Dash! Somepony is at the door!" Scootaloo yelled trying to sleep. Rainbow Dash hurried out of her room, her hair all messy and tangled from her 'Discussing important work matters' With Soarin of the Wonder Bolts. He respect the way Rainbow Dash wanted to stay by my side.
"Hey squirt," Dash said giving her a quick noggie before opening the door. There standing beside Fluttershy and Twilight was her two best friends ever. They were surprised to see her condition at first. After Scootaloo explained everything, even in fear they would reject her they gave her hugs of happiness. Making her orange coat wet with tears.
"We're so sorry we didn't notice," Sweetie Belle said staring at her bulging stomach.
"Scoots, we love ya and we could never never leave ya," Appel Bloom said holding her friends hoof. Scootaloo felt better, she felt lighter, she felt free. But that feeling was lost when she felt a wetness fall from in between her legs.
"Shit," she whispered.
"Scootaloo of you had to go you could have told us," Sweetie started the lecture but stopped herself when she saw the blood.
The hospital was very nice, it was quiet and smelled like cleanliness, in all the rooms Scootaloo wasn't in. She was going into labour. Fluttershy passed out twice and was asked to leave the room. The other CMC members also left. Leaving Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash and the doctor.
Still born. That is the side effect of drinking while pregnant. That's what happened to Scootaloo's foal. The colt would have been beautiful, he had a light orange coat with a dark brown mane. She didn't want to see his eyes. He was dead, he died during birth, there was nothing she could do it wasn't her fault. But it was. Her filly was rather shocking in looks. She was orange just like her mother but her eyes were blue. Her mane was light brown and light purple. The brown was something that ran in Caramels family it seemed. On her left cheek just under her eye she had a little patch of brown. Very noticeable. Scootaloo thought her daughter was perfect. Just perfect and her son would have been beautiful too.
"What are you naming her?" Rainbow Dash asked. The only one who had the stomach for her birth. Her sister helped her through it all, every single bit of it.
"His name will be Sunday Sunrise," she said the colors of his orange body were that of a sunrise, far lighter than his sisters or his mothers coat color. Rainbow Dash nodded, tears falling from both their eyes.
"Her name will be Sunset Dash," Scootaloo said looking at her sister. Rainbow Dash's mouth was open with shock. That little pegasus filly was named after her. That little thing that came out of her sister shared the same name. Rainbow Dash cried even louder and Scootaloo joined in. Hugging her filly close. "I will always love you," she whispered to the filly between sobs.
Scootaloo cried during the burial, Sunday Sunrise was buried beside her grandparents, Grandpa Shadow Core and Grandma Violet Ribbon. It was harder than she expected. Her first ever colt, was dead. It was all her fault. She wanted a drink. She wanted a smoke. She wanted to sleep and never wake up. But the she looked at her filly. Wrapped in her arms was a stuffed animal for her brother. A little blue frog. And she couldn't picture leaving her sight.
