Previous ChapterNext Chapter“Spitfire. A-are you serious?” I asked her, wanting to confirm the facts.
“Yes,” She whispered, “You’re going to be a father!”
I was going to be a father! Never had I ever thought this miracle would happen!
I grabbed Spitfire in my arms as I brought her lips to mine, savoring her sweet taste.
“Hey if you don’t mind, I’d like to put some pants on at least.” I told her, my face still very close to hers.
“Sure, I’ll be downstairs and I’ll be expecting breakfast made for me. After all, pregnant mares always get what they want right?” She cooed.
“Of course my love. Anything for you.” I whispered, giving her ear a little nibble as she giggled and headed downstairs.
I put some pants on, deciding to remain shirtless for the time being, not having any plans that day except stay home with Spitfire. The knock on the door however, changed that.
I opened it up to see Derpy Hooves with her mailbags.
“Why hello Derpy! What’s in the mail for me today?” I asked her.
“Just a special invitation from Pinkie Pie for you and Spitfire. Have fun!” The bubbly mare flapping her wings and making her way back the next house, shooting me a wink as she did so.
“Invitation?” Spitfire asked, her head now brushing against my thigh. I quickly got the heavy blush off my face.
I opened it to a spray of confetti and a party horn. Inside it said:
Meet at Sugarcube Corner at 6:00 pm sharp for the Ponyville Party Club! PP
“Sounds fun. You up for it?” I asked Spitfire, showing her the invitation.
“Sure, just keep me away from any liquor.” She said, patting her stomach.
“Will do my fair lady.” I said, lifting her hoof and brushing it against my lips, the soft yellow fur tickling my face.
At 6:00 pm sharp, we arrived at Sugar Cube Corner to find it dark.
Spitfire had on the lovely orange dress she wore on our first encounter together.
“We got the time and location right. Only way to find out is to go in.” I told her.
“But my prince! I am full with child and my fraile legs cannot carry me any longer!” She mock wailed as she placed the back of her hoof to her forehead.
Rarity would be insulted by that.
“Well then I guess you’ll have to let me carry you then.” I told her, sweeping her off her feet and into my arms. She let out a high pitched squeal of delight as I cradled her form in my strong embrace. I pushed open the door to the sweet shop and braced myself for the inevitable.
“SUPRISE!!!!!!!”
The lights instantly flicked on as Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie popped out from behind the counter. From the other side of the store emerged Lotus and Aloe and the Wonderbolts.
“Congratulations on the engagement you two!” was the remark we received from every pony in town.
“Should we tell them about?” I asked Spitfire during the party, patting her belly lightly. She purred as I did that.
“Goddess above I love it when you do that. I think we should, I’ll let you tell them.” She said.
“EXCUSE ME EVERYPONY! SPITFIRE HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE!” I yelled, quieting everypony down at once.
She gave me a glare at first but then realized that it was better for her to make the announcement.
“I’m, well, expecting” She said, just audible enough for the ponies in the room to hear her.
A very audible gasp was heard from Pinkie as the rest of the ponies stood agape.
Something was very wrong. They were silent and not in a happy way.
“Oh my god.” Was the first sound out of the crowd
“Spits, I think we should leave.” I whispered into her ear.
“Wait. Hold on a sec. I know what everyone is thinking.” She whispered back.
Spitfire motioned Twilight over.
“Twi, you think you could do that thing to Dave again so everypony can understand the situation?” Spitfire asked the purple alicorn.
“I was about to suggest the same” Twilight said, her horn lighting up.
I felt the familiar warmth wash over me as I was transformed back into a pony. The entire room gasped and came to understanding that I had offered to change myself to have foals with Spitfire.
With that out of the way, I opened my mouth.
“Now why don’t we keep celebrating as we have two reasons to do so now!?”
A cheer went up around the room and I moved to Twilight.
“Hey Twilight, you think I could keep the wings on my human body?” I asked her.
She giggled. “Well now you’ve spoiled my present for you today!” She said
“You can?” I asked in bewilderment, grabbing Spits and tugging her next to me.
“Did you hear that Spits? I can keep my wings in human form!” I hopped a little in excitement.
“So no more carriages to work for you!” She said laughing.
“Could you that now Twilight? As much as I like being a pony, I’d like to try out my new wings as soon as possible.” I said eagerly.
“With pleasure!” The purple alicorn replied, her horn lighting up once again.
I felt myself grow back into a human, however, a icy cold stayed on my upper back.
As soon as Twilight finished, I tested my new wings, which I had to take off my shirt to do. There were several cat calls and the rest were halted by a death stare from Spitfire.
The feathers were the same color as my skin, a dark cream, and stretched out quite far. I estimated I had at least a 6 foot wingspan or more.
The party ended around 9:00pm and I decided to fly Spitfire home. She fell asleep in my arms, the warm yellow bundle snoring slightly as I tucked her into bed, climbing in beside her. I thought of the life ahead of me, a kid, a wife, I had the dream. I drifted into sweet sleep and dreamed of nothing but the good things the future held.
