Flutter and big mac's birth

6 hours, 30 minutes
4 centemeters
A few hours later, Fluttershy was in more active labor. She continued to handle the contractions as they became stronger and closer together. As she was recovering from one, she let out yet another deep breath and looked at Mac. Mac took a cloth and wiped the sweat from her head. He was still smiling and trying to keep her relaxed.
The doctor came back in to check. “How are things going?” he asked.
Fluttershy looked at the doctor with a shy and slightly scared expression and whispered. “As expected so far.”
The doctor checked her. “Okay, you are at four now.”
Fluttershy had her eyes go wide as she yelled her impatience “Only four? This will take forever!”
Mac hugged her. “It’s okay Flutter; I will be with you till the end.”
“We could break your water to help dilation.” Redheart offered.
Flutter shook her head and was whispering yet again. “No, I want this to be natural. I will just have to bear with it.”
The doctor nodded. “I suggest you walk around for a bit Mrs. Fluttershy.”
Fluttershy immediately responded. “Help me up please, Mac.” The doctor and Mac helped her up. Mac proceeded to help her walk around the hospital. After around forty minutes, the came across the nursery and Fluttershy wanted to look at the foals. “Awwww….” Flutter said.
“They’re cute and little just like ours will be,” Mac said.
“Yes, like ours will be.” she said.
“Soon.” he said while rubbing her back. “How is it going?”
“I keep- UGH,” she grunted as another contraction hit while she leaned into him.
Mac was kissing her neck again as some sort of gesture to try and comfort her. “It’s ok. Just breathe like before, hooo,hooo,hooo,hooo. Imagine yourself in the apple grove again. ”
Fluttershy once again mimicked his breathing. She was trying to imagine it, but it was hard now. She screamed a bit as the pain jumped. This contraction was sharp.
“You are closer Flutter,” Mac said as he still rubbed her back.
She whimpered from the pain, now a constant dull throb. “Please, I want to go back to the room..” She hugged Mac as she said this. He picked her up and lay her on his back as they went back to the room. He helped her back into the bed. “Wow, I didn’t know you were that strong.”
“Eeyup,” Mac responded.
He returned to rubbing her belly. “Soon Flutter,” he said as he kissed her again.
Fluttershy returned his kiss, while stroking his mane. “You know I can’t resist when you do that,” she said.
“I know Flutter, and you know I can’t resist a cute mare like you.” He said as he was kissing her and rubbing her back.
“How about I stand and walk around the room?” Fluttershy asked.
“Only if you feel up to it,” Mac responded.
She nodded, her hooves on her belly. “Wonder if the doctor should check again. No, it’s only been about a half hour.”
“It is up to you whether you want me to help you up so you can walk around.”
Fluttershy closed her eyes. “I think I am going to try and rest, my legs are tired.”
Mac was massaging her legs. “Sleep sounds like a good idea. It will help you to keep your strength up.” She smiled at how kind Mac was being.
9 minutes later, there was focus on Fluttershy’s face. “It is coming again,” She said, whimpering and waving a hoof around to indicate she needed him to hold it.
Mac was by her side in an instant, kissing her cheek and holding her hoof. “Breathe through this. I am here for you.”
Flutter focused on his hoof holding her, trying to take the focus off the pain. “hooo,hooo,hooo,hooo AAAAAA…” she groaned as the pain peaked again.
She was grinding her teeth as she cried a little bit. “Owwww. nnng, It’s going down.”
Mac rubbed her back with a free hoof. “You can do this Flutter, I know it.” He nuzzled her. “It will be over soon.”
The contraction started to slow and then was no more. Flutter sighed and looked at Mac. “I would be a wreck now without you,” She said as tears were running down her cheek.
Mac wiped the tears from her face with his hooves, smiling at her. “You are doing great. You are going to make it through this,” he said softly as he was rubbing her back.
She didn’t respond and closed her eyes to try and rest. “Do you remember the night we conceived Mac?”
“You mean the romantic dinner, then the bath I ran for you, then the bed covered in rose petals, all of that being candlelit?” Mac responded trying to help her think of the pleasant memories.
She nodded, her eyes closed. “I will never forget that night. How you took loving care of me, how you made me feel special and beautiful, and how you made love to me,” She said. “This foal began from my love for you.”
“Everything to this day was out of love, and still is.” Mac responded.
Flutter was starting to fall asleep as the doctor came in. “How are we doing?”
Mac spoke, ”She seems to be in pain, but I know she can work through it.”
“You still want to go natural?” the doctors asked
“Yes, I can do this.” she whispered smiling.
Mac continued to rub her back. “I am proud of you.”
The doctor nodded and looked at the fetal monitor. “The foal’s heart rate looks good, and you are contracting regularly. Can’t ask for anything more,” He said.
“The heart is a strong as its mother’s,” Mac said.
“Want me to check you?” He asked Fluttershy. She nodded.
“Okay, five centimeters.”
She whispered. “Foals take a while I guess.”
Mac was still rubbing her. “They do indeed.”
“Anything else?” the doctor asked.
Mac looked to Fluttershy who just shook her head. “Just some alone time,” She whispered.
“They are almost 8 minutes apart and seem to be getting stronger.”
Mac grinned and leaned in. “I love you no matter what,” he said as he moved to kiss her.
“Please, not in front of the doctor,” she whispered.
“I want the whole of Equestrian to know the love I have for you and the foal.” Mac remarked as he kissed her again.
The doctor chuckled a bit. “Touching and kissing is a good thing during labor.”
“I think the little one wants to meet his daddy,” She said as she moved a hoof to her stomach.
“I can’t wait,” he said rubbing her belly.
The foal kicked and caused her stomach to shake. “Must have a lot of your blood in it Mac.” She whispered.
“That isn’t good,” he said
“How isn’t that good?” she whispered.
“It will be way too eager to start bucking in the apple orchards,” Mac replied.
“It would be an apple to the core then huh.” She whispered.
“If you need something, hit the call button,” the doctor said as he left.
They spent a few minutes with him comforting and loving her before she started to pant again. Mac held her hoof. “Breathe, you can do this.”
In through her nose and out through her mouth she breathed as she had a look of pain on her face. “NNNNNNG” Flutter moaned.
“It’s ok”, Mac said as he kissed her and tried to move her mind off of the pain. “I’m here.”
“K…kiss me,” She said, wanting to squeeze his hoof so hard.
He kissed her again right on the lips. “I know you can do this, you have to be strong for the foal.” She tried to kiss him back, but her mind was on the pain. His touch reminded her he was with her to the end… why she loved him. Mac started to run his tongue over her lips. “Just breathe, and let your body do the work.”
She screamed lightly as the pain was peaking again. “Help me sit up,” she said feeling the need.
Mac pulled her upright. “I’m here for you.” She turned so that her legs were off the bed and tried to work through the pain. He was rubbing her back still. “Try rocking back and forth.” She did just that, and it took her mind off the pain somewhat. The contraction started to cease. “Want to try being in a warm shower?”
“Why a warm shower?” she said confused.
“Maybe the warmth will help with contractions.” Mac said
“I will try anything to rid me of the pain,” she said.
“Want to walk around again?” Mac asked.
Fluttershy nodded and got up with Mac’s help “Can we stay in the room?”
“Whatever you want,” He said as he helped her walk and stayed really close in case she fell.
