The Happy Little Changeling

Once on the scene, Silver Mane opened the door, as I lead Zecora in.

“I take it Ditzy is home. She would by any chance be close to her giving birth?” I asked.

“We had expected this in a week's time, but it was premature, she is resting, waiting. If you could help, I'm sure it will ease this passage of her delivery!” Silver replied.

“Just as I expected!” I responded, just nodding to Zecora, as she walked to the bed room where Ditzy lay prone on her back on top of her bed.

“Graces, somepony could help. You've always been there, whenever something important, or a crisis is at hoof!” she blurted out.

That's when the second part of our group came, lining up along the wall of the room, Flutter still stopping by the side of the bed, looking at Dizty where she lay.

“Dash, fetch fresh cloud water, if you'd please hurry?” Flutter then directed, with the authority of somepony experienced with assisting births.

“Ok, cloud water, I can fix that!” Dash pointed out, before we saw her dash out through the door.

This is when I noticed, Dinkie sat by the side of the door, looking intently with curious eyes, as Dash burst out for the cloud water.

Rarity sat on the other side of the bed with Silver close by, both eagerly following as the scene unfolded. Even if it was obvious that Silver had an invested interest in how this was to turn out.

Behind Flutter, and beside Zecora, Apple Jack waited, for whatever way she could assist, since she did have experience with deliveries as working on her farm did take her into contact with this on a regular basis.

Since I did not have much of import to do, other than keeping little Dinkie company, I had joined her by the wall, just content looking. It isn't every day I overlook a delivery?

As the minutes came ticking by, but nothing seemed to want to happen, I guess Dinkie was glad to have me by her side. Making silly faces, giggling away, just to keep her happy. It is who I was, and what I do, after all. It isn't as if we could just have her run off, to whom, to where? For how long?

Then Dash came back Carrying the cloud, dripping with fresh water, as she carried it to where Flutter stood, waiting. I could clearly see her washing her hands, just as the event hit, which was strangely convenient, it just had to happen at exactly that moment?

I guess it is how life has it? It couldn't do it any other way?
