Baby Blues

Twilight and Rarity trotted towards Sugar Cube Corner, both mares carrying gifts in their mouths. It didn’t take long for them to find a gift for Pinkie’s foal shower; almost anything would be worth its value for Pinkie if it would help her in her journey to motherhood. While they were shopping for their gifts both of them longingly looked at nearly every product in the foal care section. It wouldn’t be long until it was them filling a cart with diapers, bottles, pacifiers, bibs; all nine yards.

“Oh I wish Pinkie would have told us about this foal shower earlier, I could have made her a few foal clothes instead of buying her some. Maybe I can make it up to her soon.” Rarity said, sighing.

“I’m sure she’ll appreciate the clothes anyway, Rarity. Afterall, knowing Pinkie, she’ll probably be throwing more than one baby shower.” Twilight assured, winking. “And besides, I don’t think my gift is any better. I brought a few books from the library on motherhood and pregnancy, though I hope she’ll give them back at one point. I think I’ll be needing them, too.”

“True. Mother has some old books on “What to Expect When Expecting” from when she had Sweetie Belle. And I’ve helped take care of her ever since she was just a newborn, so it shouldn’t be too hard.” Rarity replied, smiling.

“And I’ve raised Spike ever since he was a newborn, too. I think we’ll both be great mothers; same goes for Pinkie. She babysits the Cake twins all the time and I must say that I’m impressed with her abilities.” Twilight chuckled.

“Hey, look, there’s Rainbow Dash and Applejack!” Rarity pointed out, jabbing a hoof towards a familiar orange earth pony and blue Pegasus. She waved her hoof back and forth, “Hello girls!”

“Oh hey!” Rainbow hollered back, also waving. Rarity and Twilight approached them. The rainbow-maned pony smirked, “So you guys also heard about Pinkie’s shower?”

“Indeed we did. A little shocking, isn’t it?” Rarity murmured, biting her lip as she tried to grin.

“Somethin’ wrong, Rar?” Applejack asked, her brows knitting into a frown.

“No, no, nothing’s wrong. Just a little overwhelmed is all. Now come on, I’m sure Pinkie’s waiting for us in there!”

“Wait!” A familiar voice squeaked from behind. The five mares cranked their heads around and noticed Fluttershy galloping towards them, panting as she cradled a large present in her wings. “Hey *pant* girls!”

At that moment the doors to Sugarcube Corner burst open, revealing Pinkie Pie who stood on her hind legs. The pink pony whipped her poofy magenta mane and smiled widely, waving her hoof around wildly towards the group. “Heeeey girls! Come on in! The party’s just getting started!”

Blueblood was in his quarters, sipping some tea when he heard a soft rapping on his bedroom door. He wiped his mouth quickly and cleared his throat, “Enter.”

The door slowly creaked open and in walked Princess Celestia. “Err…Blueblood; may I have a word with you?”

Blueblood nearly choked on a mouthful of tea. He gagged and cleared his throat again, sputtering, “Oh, of course Auntie.” He immediately stood up and approached his aunt, smiling. “Is there something wrong?”

Celestia sighed, and Blueblood knew what was coming when she outstretched her wing and wrapped it around him. “Blueblood, I’ve just received some news from Ponyville hospital.”

“What does this have to do with me?”

“It does, a lot, actually. Why haven’t you been honest with me?”

“Auntie, I’m not understanding.”

The white alicorn’s wing recoiled slightly. “Well Blueblood, let’s see if you can remember this. Do you ever remember sleeping with a mare recently, four to be exact?”

Blueblood was appalled. “Celestia, I know that you’re my aunt and that you love me and you’re only concerned about me, but how dare you ask me something personal and filthy like that?!” He retorted, scrunching his face in disgust.

Celestia averted her eyes towards the corner of the room to avoid the indignities below her. “Please Blueblood, just be honest with me. I’m not doing this to offend you or embarrass you. And I promise, this time Luna and I are not pranking you.” The Princess couldn’t help but smirk a bit at the memory.

Blueblood blushed, “Please don’t talk about something that happened five years ago.”

“Blueblood, please…”

The prince sighed, “Well…I-I do recall having…eh…intercourse with a mare or two at the Gala a few days ago. But I couldn’t possibly have done it with four! I had to have been drunk out of my mind if—“

“You were.”

“Auntie, you are not helping. Now please just tell me what the news is!”

“Blueblood, you are going to be a father.”

“…What?”

“Basically you are going to be the father of four children with four different mares. I talked to Twilight’s doctor and—“

“Y-you mean, Princess Twilight? My future bride is already…p-pregnant…with MY child?! And I impregnated FOUR mares?!” Blueblood shrieked.

“…Yes. But there is more. Not only did you impregnate Twilight, but you also impregnated two of her friends and a distant ‘frienemy’ of hers.”

“So you are telling me that I am the father of four foals from four different mares, one of royalty and the others I hardly know?!”

“That is correct.”

“A-are you absolutely sure?”

“Yes. The doctor did a paternity test on all four of them and you are the father of all of them, no glitch, no errors, no misinterpretations, nothing.”

“I must know the names of these ponies.”

“Well, firstly Twilight Sparkle. Then there’s her more distant friend Trixie. Then Pinkie Pie…” Blueblood cringed as his aunt spoke. Pinkie Pie was that annoying red one who constantly sang that irritating Pony Pokey song. He despised her deeply and now he was going to be the father of her child. “And lastly…Rarity.”

Blueblood fainted.
