There's Always An Afterwards

Pinkie only stared back at Twilight with wide blue eyes.

Suddenly, one of the windows crashed open as a familiar blue blur darted in.

"Twilight! I heard an explosion and I wasn't sure if you were okay or not!" Rainbow Dash cried.

"Rainbow! Everything's fine... I guess..." Twilight responded.

"What do you mean, I gue-"

"I'm.. PREGNANT?!" Pinkie interrupted.

"I think I heard her wrong," Dash said.

"No Dashie!" Pinkie jumped on top of Rainbow and looked at her. "I'm really pregnant....... I-I-I'm gonna have a foal..." Tears welled up in her eyes.

"I am sooo confused," Rainbow complained as she closed her wings. "Why, is Pinkie pregnant, and how in the wide wide land of Equestria did is happen?!"

"Rainbow, there's only one way how that could have happened." Twilight said as her cheeks turned slightly darker.

Rainbow looked at her best friend. "Eeeeewww..." She groaned.

"I-I-I c-can't believe I'm having a foal..." Pinkie huffed.

A blue head and a purple head turned to face Cheese.

"What?" He asked, snapping out if his daze.

"You made her pregnant, didn't you." Twilight said.

"Hey, why would you think that?" He said nervously as he began to sweat.

"Because Pinkie has never been with another stallion in his whole life!" Twilight said.

"And," Rainbow started. "When you didn't tell me how it started, could I say suspicious?" She asked. "Yes."

"Lay off you guys, of course he did it," Pinkie giggled.

"Pinkie...!" Cheese said in an alarmed manner.

"I KNEW IT!" Rainbow beamed as she hoof pumped the air. "Wait... Eeeewwww!"

"But I'm gonna have my own little foal...?" Pinkie muttered. "I think I'm gonna be sick... Literally...."

"Well, I should probably take Pinkie home before she makes a mess of your floor!" Cheese chuckled as she patted Pinkie's back.

"So what do you want to do about the rest of your friends?" Cheese asked. "I mean, best friends."

"Maybe we can deal with this tomorrow because I'm not feeling well... I feel a little dizzy..." Pinkie responded.

"A-are you okay?" He asked with a worried tone.

Pinkie let out a light giggle. "I'm fine silly, it's a side effect for being pregnant, Y'know."

"I knew that." Cheese said sheepishly.

"Hey, c'mere." Pinkie whispered.

"Okay." He moved closer.

She pulled his neck closer and whisper in his ear.

"Thank you, for staying with me." She whispered. "I guess I was a little bit afraid that you would leave me because I'm having a foal."

"I would never leave you, Pinkie." The stallion reassured.

"That's good to hear." She smiled. How we're not married or anything..."

"Yeah," He breathed. "Not married..."

And then she kissed him. It seemed to last a lifetime, just them together, now carrying their very own foal.

"I think we should celebrate..." Pinkie smiled. "...With a party."

"Now that's more like it." Cheese chuckled. "Would you like anything?"

"A pickle would be fine." She responded.

"Kay, I'll be right back." Cheese chuckled.

Pinkie laid down, deep in thought. With everything that had happened that day, there was a lot to think about.

First of all, she was pregnant. Having a foal. Her very own foal. From here, there were so many choices. When the foal was born, she wouldn't be able to live in the upstairs of a sweets shop. She would have to move into an actual house, with Cheese. It struck her as weird, to live with somepony who wasn't a family member; not married. Her and Cheese were not married, which was a whole other subject. Did she even want to get married yet?

Her mind rambled on as Cheese came back upstairs with her pickle.

"Here ya go," He said.

"Thanks." She said mindlessly.

He then laid down beside Pinkie and stared at the ceiling.

It was odd to Pinkie. Cheese wasn't frantic about her pregnancy. He was pretty chill about it.

"Pinkie, are you alright?" He frowned.

"I don't know..." She muttered. "I'm not sure about all of this..."

"Pinkie, I know this is hard, but it's going to be okay in the end." Cheese whispered, wrapping his long forearms around his marefriend.

"But, you're no the one who has to give birth to a foal." Pinkie said.

He paused. "No, but I'm with you every step of the way." He placed his hooves on Pinkie's shoulders, their eyes meeting. "I promise."

Pinkie stared into Cheese's soft, sincere green eyes. He have her a promising smile. Her sky blue eyes, tear soaked, sparked with hope.

"I so lucky to have you!" Pinkie cried as she tackle-hugged Cheese.

"And I'm lucky to have you..." He whispered.

Cheese returned the hug and sighed. He watched Pinkie fall asleep.

She really deserved it, the whole day on her shoulders, plus the groundbreaking news.

"I love you, Pinkie Pie." He whispered.

~~~~~~~~~~

Mrs. Cake walked up the stairs of Sugarcube Corner and into Pinkie's room.

Pinkie was curled up on Cheese's belly, and he was looking up at the ceiling. He noticed the presence of another pony and looked down.

Cup Cake opened her mouth to question him about Pinkie's what seemed to be slightly larger belly.

She closed her mouth and smiled. She turned around and walked back down the stairs.

You've got to stop doing that. She thought to herself.
