Pinkamena and Cheese Sandwich

“Cheesie?” Pinkie asked. She was lying on her back in the grass outside of the cave, sticking her hooves up in the air. Her swollen belly stuck up into the sky.

“Yes?” Cheese asked. He was finishing the final set ups for winter. He had weaved blankets together out of thick grass he had found. He had also weaved pillow cases, because he had found the extra time to do so. He was currently stuffing the last pillow and weaving it up so the stuffing couldn’t escape.

“Do you think this foal is going to be a colt or a filly?” She asked, gently rubbing her tummy with her hoof.

“I’m not sure.” Cheese said, continuing his work.

“I wish I knew.” Pinkie said sadly. She noticed the sun slowly go down and fall against the horizon. She rolled over and forced herself to stand up. “Cheese, I feel bigger than I did when I was pregnant with Gala, do you think I could have twins?” She asked excitedly.

Cheese looked up, startled. “Geez, I sure hope not.”

“Why not?” Pinkie asked, walking into the cave. The nights had started getting colder, which meant winter was coming very, very soon.

“Because they’re a lot of work.” Cheese said, concentrating on weaving the last pillow shut.

“Yeah, they are. Did I ever tell you about the time I watched the Cake twins?” Pinkie asked.

Cheese snickered. “Oh, yeah. That was hilarious.” He said.

“It was fun though.” Pinkie said, lying down in what Cheese had made for a makeshift bed.

“I bet.” He said. The sky had darkened and the sun had completely disappeared. Cheese walked all the way into the cave and threw the pillow down where he guessed his head would be. Then he laid down next to Pinkie, he kissed her softly on the cheek, and then he gently kissed her swollen tummy. “Good night,” He whispered, stroking her belly gently.

Pinkie giggled softly. “Good night, Cheesie.” Pinkie said. Cheese leaned forward and pulled their grass woven blanket over them. They lay quietly in the dark for a while, slowly letting the exhaustion creep up on them and forcing them to finally fall asleep.
