To Hold Chaosby DiscordFanChaptersPrologue: The SymptomsChapter 1: To Tell FriendsChapter 2: Daddy's HomeChapter 3: Hearth's WarmingThe Rest of the Mane 6's Hearth's WarmingChapter 4: BedrestChapter 5: The Baby's BirthdayPicturePrologue: The SymptomsFluttershy was not feeling so good. She was constantly barfing and craving cotton-candy for some reason. Angel, Fluttershy thought, bucket, please. The rabbit got her thoughts and handed her the bucket she had been using. *BLEEEEHH* More barf was added to the bucket. Angel gave it to the otter to go clean it out and got another bucket just in case. "Thank you, Angel," Fluttershy wispered. Her stomach growled. She felt an awful cramp and winced in pain. Cotton-candy!! A few birds came flying over in a hurry with the sweet fluffy sugar. Hot sauce! Wait what!? Never mind! Go get hot sauce! Her stomach felt like it was exploding from not getting what it wanted. More birds came in and dumped the hot sauce on the cotton-candy. Fluttershy ate the strange combo, and her stomach calmed down. She sighed. This had started a few weeks ago, and now she only got out of her cottage for her spa-date with Rarity. OH NO!! The spa-date! I forgot all about it. Angel, you're in charge. Clean the house while I'm gone. Be good every-animal!! Fluttershy went to the door as fast as she could. Her belly, even though the symptoms had started a few weeks ago, had started to grow a few months ago. Fluttershy thought she was pregnant, which wouldn't be unlikely, but her husband, Discord, still didn't know. Princess Celestia had called him away a few months ago, before her belly started to grow, and he still hasn't come back. Before her belly was noticeable, she got Twilight to send a letter asking, but the reply said that Discord was running a long-term-errand. Fluttershy kept heading towards the spa. She hope she wasn't too late. CUPCAKES!!!! CHOCOLATE MILK!!!! COTTON CANDY!!!! SYRUP!!!! CHICKEN!!!! WHAT?!?!? PIE!!!! SEAWEED!!!! Wait, what? Fluttershy shook her head clear of thoughts as she ran into the spa. Rarity wasn't there yet, but Aloe was. "Hello, Fluttershy," she said, "Waiting for Rarity?" Fluttershy nodded. Then she heard the door bell go off, and a certain white unicorn stepped in. "Why hello, Fluttershy darling," Rarity said, "I'm so glad you made it! No pony usually sees you around town. Are you alright?" "Y-yes. I'm f-fine Rarity," said Fluttershy. "Alright then! Ready for our spa-date?" Good. Rarity didn't notice my stomach. CHEESECAKE!!!! Shut up, stomach! O-oh my. I'm sorry, stomach. I didn't mean it. BUTTER, BUTTER, BUTTER, BUTTER!!!!!!!!! Fluttershy nodded to Rarity's question. "Splendid, darling! Come on, let's go," she said cheerfully. They headed to the baths. They got the same thing every time. Relaxing bath, sea wraps, and facials. Usually, Fluttershy got the smallest thing for each thing, but this time for the bath, she went for level-5-heat, the hottest there was. For the sea wraps, she got body wrap, but ate the seaweed! And for the facials, she asked for extra cucumbers, just to eat them. Rarity noticed this... odd behavior. What was Fluttershy doing? And was Fluttershy's stomach bigger? "Um... Fluttershy, darling," Rarity began, "what exactly are you doing? You're eating anything edible and choosing the most extreme options for everything." "LEAVE ME ALONE," the buttercream yellow pegasus bellowed, "Oh! Rarity, I'm so sorry I-I don't know where that came fr-" "Fluttershy," Rarity said, "what's going on! Please tell me." The white unicorn stroked the buttercream yellow pegasus' mane, and Fluttershy was crying for yelling at her friend. "Oh Rarity-" RASPBERRIES!!!! "-I don't-" DONUTS!!!! "-know what's going-" COCONUTS!!!! "-on with me." MANGOS!!!! "Well, by the eating and mood swings, may I guess," replied the unicorn. Fluttershy nodded. "Are you pregnant?" Fluttershy's eyes widen, and then... she burst into tears. "I am! I AM!!!!" Fluttershy continued to cry and blubber her eyes out. Rarity stroked the pegasus' mane in attempt to calm her down. Soon the pregnant mare was sobbing into the unicorn's shoulder. "Thank you, Rarity," Fluttershy said, "I honestly needed that." PANCAKES, WAFFLES, PANCAKES, WAFFLES, PANCAKES, WAFFLES, SYRUP, SYRUP, SYRUP, SYRUP!!!!!!!!!!!! "I guess I'll head home now. Bye, Rarity." Fluttershy started to head home, but... "Fluttershy, wait!" Fluttershy turned around to see Rarity trotting after her. "F-Fluttershy, d-does Discord know?" Fluttershy shook her head. "I have no communication with him, so I don't know," replied Fluttershy. Rarity put on a pitiful expression. "You mean... the future father doesn't know..." Fluttershy nodded sadly. Rarity gave the pregnant mare a hug. Fluttershy was feeling much more rela- COTTON-CANDY!!!!-xed. Fluttershy sighed. Best go home. Angel will be wai- Oh, no. *BLEEEHH* Fluttershy puked in front of Rarity. Fluttershy turned and galloped faster than Rainbow Dash! She didn't stop until she was at her cottage. She slammed the door, ran upstairs, and flopped on the bed. Once Fluttershy realized what she did, she began sobbing on her bed. She just ran away from her friend. Her BEST friend. She had asked Discord to let her be the Best Mare at the wedding when he refused to decide! Oh... What had Fluttershy done? Her animals received her distress. Angel Bunny came hoppin' in, panicky, and with... a bucket. Fluttershy giggled at this. "Thank you, Angel Bunny," she said. The rabbit saluted, his duty done. Then Fluttershy thought of something else. Sonic!? Could you get Owlowiscious, and tell him to tell Twilight to tell Celestia to tell Discord that I-I'm... That I'm pregnant... Chapter 1: To Tell FriendsSonic had told Owlowiscious, and Twilight was heading over with the rest of the Mane 6 (and Spike). Fluttershy was nervous. What if the others reacted inappropriately. That would make Fluttershy feel so sa- *BLEEEHH* Thank you for the bucket, Angel Bunny. More barf. Yay... What a joy. COTTON-CANDY!!!! Shut up, stomach! I'm sick and tired of you! CUPCAKES? O-oh. I'm so sorry stomach. WHY THE BUCK AM I APOLOGIZING TO MY STOMACH?!?! Oh my. The mood swings are getting worse. Fluttershy shook her head. She was "talking" to her stomach! Fluttershy sighed. The next few months were going to be long and har- *BLEEEHH* Stupid stomach. WAFFLES, SYRUP!!!! Oh, shut up! She heard a knock on the door and said, "Come in." Five ponies and one dragon walked into her cottage. "Flutters, what's goin' on!? Why are puking in front of Rarity," asked Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow! Seriously," screamed Twilight. She pulled out a newspaper from no where and hit Rainbow Dash on the head with it. "Ow," Rainbow screamed. Rarity facehoofed. This was going to be awhile. Fluttershy's stomach groaned. "Girls," she wispered. They continued to... argue?... with each other. "Girls," she said a little louder. Still arguing. "GIRLS," she bellowed. Applejack jumped. Twilight was now stuck to the ceiling, courtesy of her horn. Rainbow Dash was unconscious after banging her head off the ceiling. Pinkie Pie... Pinkie Pie went Pinkamena. And Rarity was gaping, wide-eyed at Fluttershy. Fluttershy shrunk back, ashamed. Sh-she yelled at her friends. Why would she do that?! Fluttershy began to sob. "Oh, Fluttershy, I'm sorry darling," Rarity said, "Are we upsetting you?" Fluttershy nodded a tiny bit, and Rarity leaned over to hug her. They shared the loving embrace for a little but were interrupted. "Twilight," the dragon, Spike, said, "Letter from the Princess about... Discord?" "Let me see that," Fluttershy screamed angrily while grabbing the scroll. She read and began to sob. She rubbed her stomach with her hoof. After a few minutes, she said, "Daddy's comin' home. Daddy's comin' home..." Fluttershy's friends just stared at the scene. Their friend was rubbing and whispering to her stomach. Do make matters more akward, Fluttershy was saying "Daddy." Would Discord be happy? Weirded out? Discord? Who knew. Well, maybe their new friend God, but he didn't count right now. God knew everything. But then again, so does Pinkie, sometimes... "Flutters, I'm sorry," said Rainbow Dash, "I was just... overwhelmed by the recent events." Twilight, still hanging from the ceiling, gaped at what the now conscious mare said. I-it sounded mature! But... But Rainbow Dash said it. Was the apocalypse starting. Twilight began to hyperventilate... And Fluttershy noticed. "Oh, Twilight," she said, "Do you need help?" "YES," screamed Twilight, "LOOK OUTSIDE AND TELL ME IF THE APOCALYPSE IS STARTING." Twilight began twitch. Fluttershy looked worriedly at her Twilight. After deciding, she flew up , and she got Twilight unstuck from the ceiling. Wow. How did a small horn make such a big hole? COTTON-CANDY!!!! Shut up! Applejack looked at the hole. "Wow," Applejack said, "Ah don't even tank one o' my bucks can do 'dat." Twilight looked, and she nearly got stuck in the ceiling again. Now, that was a big hole. "Oh, Twilight, don't worry," said Fluttershy, "When Discord comes home next week, he'll fix it with a snap of his fingers. Literally!" Fluttershy giggled. Twilight looked over at her, now pregnant, friend. She put on a sheepish face, since she made a hole in her friend's ceiling, but she didn't panick because of what her friend said. Twilight just nodded dumbly, lost in thought. Fluttershy giggled again. SYRUP!!!! "Shut up," screamed Fluttershy. Her friends' eyes widen. Fluttershy was starting to hide behind her mane. Why would I say that out loud? LICORICE!!!! Oh, yeah... Fluttershy sighed. "I sorry, girls," she stated, "I didn't mean to say that out loud." "Aww... 'Dat's ok, sugarcube," said Applejack. All of her friends nodded in agreement. Fluttershy blushed. This was going to be a long week before Discord came home. Oh, no... *BLEEEHH* Thank, Celestia, for buckets. Fluttershy looked sheepishly at her friends. "Sorry..." All of her friends laughed playfully in return. "Oh, darling," Rarity laughed, "all pregnant mares have to go through it." "And so do sick ponies," Pinkie joined in. Fluttershy giggled once more. Pinkie Pie always knew what to do. "Hey," said Pinkie, "when's the kid due!? I. Must. Know. When. To. Plan. The. BABY-SHOWER!" She began bouncing happily. Fluttershy was quivering from the loudness... And Pinkie Pie was oblivious to it. Rainbow Dash facehoofed, because she noticed. Rainbow fluttered over to her quivering friend, and Rainbow hugged her. "Thanks, Dashie," Fluttershy whispered. Rainbow blushed at Pinkie's pet-name because only, well, Pinkie used it. But... if it made Flutters happy, then... Rainbow would deal with it. She was the element of Loyalty. She was going to be loyal to Fluttershy's wishes if Flutters was happy. Nothing could make Rainbow happier. Rainbow tightened her embrace. Fluttershy cried out in pain, and Rainbow Dash quickly let go. Th-the baby kicked... Fluttershy began sobbing with a small smile on her face. Her baby had kicked... for the first time. Her smiled widened. "Flutters, what happened," Rainbow Dash asked. "The baby kicked," she whispered. "What," asked Applejack. "The baby kicked," Fluttershy screamed joyously. Her baby had kicked its first kick! Fluttershy did a tiny dance, which Pinkie Pie joined in on. How Pinkie did the correct dance moves was because... that's how life on Equs just worked. Eventually, the whole Mane 6 (and Spike) were doing the tiny dance. Rainbow Dash finally realized what they were doing, "Why are we doing Flutters' happy dance?" "Because it's fun," exclaimed Pinkie Pie, continuing the dance. Rainbow facehoofed. "So when is the baby due," asked Pinkie, again. Fluttershy replied, "Um... I don't... know?" "WHAT," chorused six voices. Fluttershy winced. Oh boy... RASPBERRIES!!!! Shut up! Pinkie Pie suddenly appeared with a stretcher and a doctor's costume on, "We need get this mare to the hospital. NOW!" She bounced away, pushing Fluttershy on the stretcher. The other four ponies and dragon followed. One ultrasound later... "Well, Miss-," Doctor Stable was interrupted. "Um... I'm married, Doctor Stable," Fluttershy said softly. Doctor Stable cleared his throat, "Of course, Misses Fluttershy. Anyway your baby is due on... July 7th." "What's the baby's gender?" "Um... The ultrasound couldn't detect your child's gender for some reason or another." "Wh-what do you mean?" "Usually an embryo as old as your's would be able to have its gender detected easily, but something won't let us." "O-oh... WHY DON'T YOU KNOW YOU! YOU ARE A DOCTOR, YOU SHOULD KNOW! O-oh my. Um... my mood swings are getting worse..." Doctor Stable blinked. His mane was now messed up, and his glasses were crooked. "Um... I noticed." Fluttershy blushed. "Anyway," Doctor Stable continued, "I recommend bed-rest at least one month before the due date." "O-ok, Doctor. I will." "Oh, and no carrying anything heavy from now until two months after the baby is born." "Alright, Doctor. I won't carry anything heavy until then." "Alright, Misses Fluttershy, I'll see you around that date. Goodbye." "Bye, Doctor." "Alright, baby. Let's go home." Fluttershy felt the baby kick again. She smiled gently. CHOCOLATE MILK!!!! Shut up already! Chapter 2: Daddy's HomeFluttershy was doing her happy dance. Discord was coming home today. Her friends (except for Applejack because of farm-work) had been taking turns feeding her animals breakfast. Even Spike had helped out! Yes, Fluttershy had walked them through how to feed her animals and helped with the light-feeding, but her friends didn't have that same "touch" as Discord or herself. What Discord did, Fluttershy didn't know. Hay, even Discord didn't know! But that didn't matter so much as the fact that Discord was coming home, that made Fluttershy do her happy dance! Future Daddy Discord is coming home, baby. COTTON-CANDY, CHOCOLATE MILK!!!!!!!! Shut up, stomach! She sighed. Still "talking" to her stomach. Yup, it's going to be a long nine months. STEAK!!!! I thought we talked about this, stomach. No meat! CHICKEN!!!! You are truly evil sometimes. The door's lock jiggled. He's here! HORSERADISH!!!! Is that made from horse!? Ponies are distant cousins! COTTON-CANDY, CHOCOLATE MILK!!!! What is with you and Discord's favorite food? Fluttershy shook (almost) all of her cravings. For some reason, Dissy's favorite always sta-COTTON-CANDY-ys. She sighed. It was going to be a long nine mon- *BLEEEHH*-ths. Yup, a LONG nine months. The doorknob turned slowly... Here comes Daddy, baby! Are you ready to meet your Daddy Dissy? PICKLES!!!! That's new, but I'm taking that as a yes. The door burst open dramatically, confetti fell from nowhere, and revealed... Nothing? Where is he? WHERE WAS HER SMOOC-EMS!!!?!?!! WHERE WAS HER DISSY!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHOCOLATE!!!! NOT NOW, YOU STUPID, BUCKING STOMACH! "SURPRISE," yelled Discord, popping out of... Angel Bunny's cookie jar? When had ~~Dissy~~ Discord installed a chaos portal in Angel's cookie jar? Whatever. My Dissy's home!! Your Daddy Discord is home, baby. He's home... No cravings? Wow, it's a miracle! "Dissy," screamed Fluttershy, louder than intended. Discord looked a little shock at hearing her scream, but he hugged her tightly. Fluttershy cried out in pain. Discord let go, panicked at hurting his wife. Had he, the lord of chaos, hurt his own wife? He hoped not! "Fluttershy," he said, "Are you okay?" "Yes, but Dis-" "Oh, thank, Celestia. I thought I hurt you." "No, I'm fine, but-" "Oh, that's good. I thought I might've-" "DISSY!" Discord jumped a little. "O-oh. S-sorry, Dissy. I-I... I-it's just," she took a long, deep breath, "Dissy, I have something very, very important to tell you." "What is it? Whatever it is, I'll protect you, Shy-shy!" "Discord. It's not that. You see, about a week ago, Celestia sent me letter, remember?" "Yeess...?" "Well... Right before then, my friends were over, because I had, um... puked in front of Rarity?" She winced. Discord blinked. "Anndd..." He motioned her to continue. "I-told-them-I-was-pregnant-and-then-they-took-me-to-the-hospital-to-get-an-ultrasound-and-the-baby's-gender-can't-be-identified-and-it's-due-in-a-little-less-than-nine-months!" Fluttershy braced herself for some verbal-assault or something else. She opened one eye. Discord was... hugging her? How had she not noticed? Meh, who cared? She snuggled closer into Discord. "I love you, Dissy..." "I love you, Shy-shy..." And they stayed in each other's embrace for a while after that before Pinkie Pie came out of nowhere and said, "DISCORD'S-BACK-HOME PARTY!!!!!!" And balloons and confetti fell from nowhere, and their friends suddenly walked downstairs with puzzled expressions on their faces. And they partied the rest of the day. Author's Note And God came a few minutes, after the others came downstairs, and brought pizza. Chapter 3: Hearth's WarmingDiscord rested his hand on his sleeping wife's stomach. The baby kicked. Twice! Initially, Discord had been shocked when Pinkie threw that welcome-back party about a month ago, but just as excited! When Fluttershy told him the gender couldn't be identified for some reason, he used his magic. But something blocked him from seeing the kid, period! He got frustrated (for a few days), but eventually settled for the fact that they couldn't truly name him/her until he/she was born. After all, the more chaos, the better! The baby kicked again. Discord smiled. A genuine smile! Discord doesn't do that often. He heard a slapping-sound from the doorway and turned to see a certain platypus. Discord chuckled. He rubbed his wife's belly to feel several kicks! Odd... Discord shrugged it off and rolled out of bed. "Com'on , Mix-Up," he whispered softly, careful not to wake his pregnant wife on... he checked the calender... HEARTH'S WARMING EVE!!??!? Wh-what?! When?! Has it really been that long since he came home... over a month? He tried to shake his head clear of thoughts, which is real darn hard when you're the god of chaos! What would his kid be? The demigod of chaos? Maybe... He walked downstairs and into the kitchen with Mix-Up following obediently. The platypus was hungry. Discord found Mix-Up's bowl in one of the cupboards. Ahh... he remembered when he first moved in with Fluttershy... "Too, bad our honey-moon is over," said Discord. Fluttershy replied, "Yes, but we're at our new home as a married couple!" Discord nodded happily. "Mix-Up," he called, "Mix-Up, com'on boy, we need to unpack! Where is that trouble-maker?" The platypus came waddling over to Discord with another platypus. "Who's that, Mix-Up," Discord asked, "Fluttershy?" His wife giggled, "That's Clay. I found her injured at Foggy-Bottom Bay." "Her?" "Yes? Clay is a girl. Is that a problem, Dissy?" "No, no! Just sounded more like boy's name..." ...And a few months later, there were four baby platypi that needed to be taken care of. Discord sighed. Their names were Swap, Playdo, Cloudy, and Patter. Angels, before they learned how to walk. They were so cute, and their waddling was so slow and adorable! But they got faster. Discord shook his disappointedly when he remembered the day Swap almost died... Sawp was the most adventurous. He was the leader! And today, adventures would lead him to... Stairs! Mt. Stairs didn't stand a chance against Swap. He was daring, and he was going to be first platypus to get to the top... today. To the top today! It was his destiny! And his long and treacherous journey began, hopping from step to step. Yes! He was almost there. He was almost to the top... One more step... He made one more leap... And missed the step. He was dead. And once he died, Dad would kill him, again! It was all over. It was all over!! And once Dad killed him, Mom would kill him for the third time! He was done! He waited for pain... that still hadn't come? The "daring" platypus shakily opened his eyes that he didn't realize he had closed. He saw... Master Discord holding him, and one of those bushy things above Master's eyes, was raised. Had Swap done something wrong? Master Discord put him down gently, smiling and shaking his head. ...Discord shook his head along with memory Discord's head. That was a scary day. His thoughts drifted back to the date. Hearth's Warming Eve? He had to get his Shy-shy a gift. This was going to be their second Hearth's Warming! What was he gonna get her!? Let's see... Last year he got her a puppy. Snow had become best-friends with him. The two pups are so adorable! Anyway... Not another animal. Discord would feel like crap if he did that! Discord gave Mix-Up his bowl. Ahh... How Discord loved that his thoughts were faster-than-light. Discord, with his head on the table thinking, watched Mix-Up eat. He closed his eyes... But then they snapped open, and his head flew up. He knew exactly what to get Fluttershy. {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} Discord walked to Twilight's palace. He never got thought he would come here willingly. He walked into the tree-palace, whose entrance was a library. He found the lavender Alicorn he was looking for was reading. Why wouldn't she be! Discord walked up to a currently book-absorbed Twilight Sparkle. She didn't even look up. "What do you want, Discord," Twilight said, "that Fluttershy isn't here?" She looked up from her book to see... A blushing Discord? She raised eyebrow. "W-well, um," stammered Discord, "For Fluttershy's Hearth's Warming gift, I was wondering if you had a movie screen and projector I could borrow? I know it's a bit last minute, but... It's for Fluttershy." Discord looked at Twilight somewhat pleadingly. Twilight was surprised to see this. This was Discord. "And you can't conjure one up because... Why?" "I never needed one, so I don't have any in my pocket-dimension!" "You have a what now?!" "Nothing. Anyway... Can I borrow one... Puh-p-ple..." Discord looked like he was constipated, and as soon as he said the word, he was gonna poop. "PLEASE! Please, Twilight, pleeeease!" Twilight was so surprised she had a wing-boner. She blushed while folding her wings back up. She tossed Discord some keys. "Third door, on your left. It should be in the front of the closet." "THANK YOU, TWILIGHT! Thank you!" Then Discord rushed off to the third door on the left. As ~~Princess Sparkle-Butt~~ Twilight had said, the projector and a rolled up white sheet were near the front of the closet. Discord picked them both up, and started to walk back to his wife's and his cottage. "Thanks, Twilight," he said rushing out the door. "Whatever..." muttered, a once more, book-occupied-Twilight. {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} Discord teleported inside once he remembered he could snap his claw or paw and be home. Once at home, he found an auguring-pegasus and rabbit. Discord sighed. Another augment meant another agitated Angel Bunny. "You never eat you greens, Angel Bunny," he heard Fluttershy say, "How will you take care of the cottage when I go to Canterlot for the Hearth's-Warming-Eve Pageant! Discord Pinkie Promised he would come, so this year, you're taking care of every-animal." The white rabbit fiercely glared at his kind and patient master, Fluttershy. Why should he take of the place? Why couldn't Discord's oh-so-special-pet, Mix-Up, take care of it!? "Now, Angel! You know that Mix-Up and Clay have a family to care of, and you know better than any-animal how to take care of the cottage. And maybe, just MAYBE Santa Hooves will leave you some Carrot-Candies?" Angel's ears shoot upward. Carrot-Candies!? He hadn't had one of those since... Wow, it's been too long for him to remember. Discord chuckled at the argument, causing Fluttershy to look up. "Oh, Discord! You're home! Did you go for a walk?" "Something like that, Shy-shy." Discord chuckled again. Good thing he already stored the stuff in his pocket-dimension. He chuckled some louder and harder. "So, Dissy! Aren't you excited for tomorrow!" Fluttershy probably only talked "normally" in front of Discord. She didn't even talk "normally" in front of her friends! "Of course, Shy-shy! I'm gonna finally be in the Hearth's-Warming-Eve Pageant! And we're also gonna see Sun-Butt and Moon-Butt!" "Dissy, I thought we talked about this... You know you shouldn't call the princesses that, even if they encased you in stone the first time." Discord put on a fake-pouty face. "But, Fluttershy," he slurred and said sugary-sweet. He batted the extra-long-eyelashes that had grown on his eyes. Fluttershy rolled her eyes. She loved it when Dissy was well... Dissy. Fluttershy trotted over and hugged him, which took ~~Dissy~~ Discord by surprise. He greeted the embrace warmly and hugged his wife back. "I love you, Shy-shy..." "I love you, Dissy..." {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} Fluttershy woke up with one thing running through her head. COTTON-CANDY PANCAKES WITH CHOCOLATE MILK SYRUP!!!! Where her cravings got that idea, she didn't know or care. Her cravings had finally died down, thanks to time and Discord. He had created some sort of pill Fluttershy had to take with one of her cravings, and they quieted down. But then she realized something else. She was not in her cottage. She was in a "lover's sweet" at ~~Sun-Butt's~~ Celestia's castle. Right... yesterday... Hearth's Warming Eve... Pageant-thing... waking up right now on... Fluttershy's eyes snapped open. It was Hearth's. Warming. DAY. She rolled over to look at... A sleeping draconequus? Weird... Dissy was always up early. She guessed the pageant took more out of him than she thought. Fluttershy felt a pounding in her stomach, and she gently rubbed it. The baby had been a lot more "active" as soon as Discord came home about a month ago, but not as active as he/she was nowadays. Fluttershy shivered and looked at the window that had been beaten open by the howling wind. Maybe they would in Canterlot longer than they had originally thought... She walked over and shut the window and began rubbing her wings all over her body, in attempt to warm up. Her attempt failed. She crawled back into bed and snuggled into her husband. She Fluttershy felt Discord shift in response to the new "thing" in his sleep. He snuggled Fluttershy back once comfortable. *kick, kick, kick* Fluttershy rubbed her stomach, again, to try and calm her baby down. *kick, kick, KICK* "OW!!" Fluttershy looked at her stomach. That... That hurt more than tartarus! She heard shifting. Looks like Dissy wasn't getting that sleep-in... Discord groggily sat up and looked at Fluttershy. He was trying to process why he was awake and looking at her that didn't have the surroundings of their room at home. He grunted, still too tired to do anything. "Sorry for waking you, Dissy," said Fluttershy, "but the baby kicked really, really hard." Another grunt. "C'mon, Dissy. Wake up! It's Hearth's Warming Day!" Discord finally "woke up." "Well, what are we waiting for," he said excitedly, "You need your present!" "Eep!" Fluttershy was suddenly being carried to... somewhere in the castle. A few minutes later, they arrived at a door, and Discord looked like he was about to explode with excitement. He breathed a long, long, long breath. He opened the doors for Fluttershy to behold... a projector and movie screen? Discord motioned for her to take a seat on a double-couch in front of the screen. She sat down and Discord settled next to her. The movie started playing... "Well, love, I suppose, is strong affections between two crea-," Discord was interrupted when Flutteshy leaned over and kissed him. Discord blushed furiously. Fluttershy was preparing breakfast for her animals. She went outside with a tray balanced between her wings with vegetables on it. After hoofing out all the veggies, Fluttershy heard a slapping noise! She turned around to see... Mix-Up? "Mix-Up, what are doing here? Is Discord here," Fluttershy asked, "What's tied around your neck there, Mixy?" She untied it to find a little box, and on the lid was read, "Will you..." She opened the box to find a 14-karrot gold ring with a vivid green emerald. The ring had etches of waves and curves everywhere. It was beautiful. Then Fluttershy noticed, on the inside lid of the box read, "...marry me? -Discord". Fluttershy stared surprised for a moment, but then she actually screamed, "YES!!" The screen continued to show some of Fluttershy's and Discord's most loving memories, and the last one was Fluttershy asking Discord, "What is love?" The projector stopped projecting, and the screen turned to its original white. Fluttershy was crying tears of joy. She borrowed her face into Discord's chest, "Thank you..." Fluttershy pulled something that was stuck in her feathers. She handed Discord a box. As soon as it touched Discord's hand, the box grew in size. He opened it. Inside was a photo of Fluttershy, Discord, Mix-Up, Clay, and the baby platypi. Now it was Discord's turn to cry, which he gladly did. "I love you, Fluttershy..." "I love you, too, Discord..." *kick, kick, kick... kick* The Rest of the Mane 6's Hearth's WarmingTwilight Sparkle Twilight had woken up to the sound of Spike's magic burp. Twilight moaned at being awoken. What did Celestia want that she couldn't come get Twilight since they were both in the same castle?! "Twilight," exclaimed Spike, "Letter from the princess!" Twilight moaned again. Spike rolled his eyes. "Fine... My dearest, Twilight, For part of your Hearth's Warming gift, I would like to invite you to breakfast with the rest of the princesses and Shining Armor. I hope you come to enjoy our Santa_Hooves-shaped pancakes. Love, 'Tia" Twilight moaned again. She didn't want to get up from her warm, toasty blankets, even if it meant seeing her BBBFF! Warmth was warmth. It was almost as amazing as chocolate. Hmm... chocolate. But the princess had asked for her; she had to go. Twilight continued her moaning while rolling out of bed. Cold... so. Very. COLD! Twilight's eyes snapped open, and she had a wing-boner. Cold, cold, cold, cold... "COLD," she screamed. Spike was suddenly clutching and hanging from the ceiling, back arced, pupils different sizes, and tail straight. Twilight lit up her horn. *POP* A gift basket full of assorted gems appeared. "Happy-Hearth's-Warming-Spike-BYE!!! And Twilight ran out the door towards the dining hall. Spike gaped at the basket. He whistled, "Thank you, Celestia!" He fell off the ceiling with a "oof!" Twilight burst into the dining hall. She rapidly said, "I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!" Everypony turned in her direction. "Oh, good! You would've gotten your present late if you weren't," Celestia said. She levitated boxes over to every alicorn and to Shining Armor a box. She set Twilight's in front of the chair she was heading towards. "Alright, everypony. Open them!" Everypony ripped open their box to each find a sweater. Luna's was light blue with a snowman. Cadence's was yellow with a present. Shining Armor's was dark blue with a Hearth's Warming tree. Twilight's was navy with the Friendship-Heart-of-Fire. Celestia was suddenly wearing a pink sweater with a snowflake on it. Celestia clapped her hooves like a giddy school-filly, "So, what do you all think?" She smiling sill-li-ly. "I got us all 'Ugly-Hearth's-Warming-sweaters!'" "Oh, sister," Luna said, "You shouldn't have." "Nonsense!" "No. You honestly shouldn't have, sister!" Celestia's smile faltered. "B-but... I thought..." "It's okay, Auntie," Cadence said. "Not everypony likes their gifts, but be assured, I like it very much." Celestia sniffed. "Really?" "Of course! This is probably the best gift I've ever gotten from anypony besides from Shiny! I usually just get bits or jewelry! I like this far better." Cadence beamed sincerely at Celestia. The chef walked in. "PANCAKES!!" Havoc broke out. Twilight was trotting towards her room. Breakfast had been... interesting. 'Tia had started a food-war (not fight), and the sides was Butter verses Syrup. Twilight arrived to find a note on her door. Dear Twilight Sparkle, Please meet me in the Royal Canterlot (Indoor) Garden. Anonymous Twilight re-read the note several times. Okay? Why would anypony want to meet her alone... Great it's probably one of Rainbow's pranks, but this isn't anyone of my friend's hoof-writing. She trotted towards the indoor garden. She better see who "Anonymous" is... After a few minutes Twilight arrived at the indoor garden to find... BlueBlood? What did her best childhood friend (besides Shining Armor) want or need? That's when she noticed something off. ~~Bluey~~ BlueBlood didn't have his mane and tail fancy-i-fied. What was going on? "Um, hey, Twi," he stuttered while shuffling nervously, "How's your Hearth's Warming going?" Twilight was a bit surprised to see BlueBlood nervous. "Uh, it's good? Blue why'd you ask me here," Twilight asked. BlueBlood looked at the ground. Twilight noticed he didn't have his dress-collar. "Yeah... Uh, Twi, would you l-like to g-go on a d-date?" She saw BlueBlood brace himself for a type of verbal impact. BlueBlood opened his eyes after a minute or two. Twilight was frozen with thought. "Um, Twilight?" He waved his hoof in front of her face. Nothing happened. He looked around for something small to move out of place. Perfect! A potted-bush. He pushed it less than a millimeter. Twilight unfroze. "S-sure, Bluey," she said. "Um, when?" BlueBlood hadn't thought this far so he didn't know. "Um, how about... at 5:30 p.m?" "Okay..." BlueBlood smiled. "See you then, Twi!" "Um, okay?" And Twilight was alone as BlueBlood left. Twilight blushed as she realized what had happened. "SQUEEE!!!" Pinkie Pie Pinkie woke up to... a PARTY! Hi, Pinkie. Hey, DiscordFan! So, how was your Christmas? Wait, you know what Christmas is? Well, yeah! Everybody does! Um, well... I got all the gifts I wanted so, uh, I'm pretty good! That's great for you! I hope I get everything I want! What's that? For all my friends to be happy. DUHH!! Haha! Okay, Pinkie, let me continue the story. Okay! See 'ya, DiscordFan! Ahem... Pinkie woke up to a party. After that she bounced to the Royal Kitchen to make Santa_Hooves-shaped pancakes. Then she joined in a food-war over what's better: Butter or Syrup. Hmm... Silky, delicious syrup. DiscordFan, c'mon! Continue the story! Right! After that, Pinkie put presents in each of her friends room and gave Spike a pink! gem. Pinkie... Sorry! Yes, okay! And finally Pinkie annoyed DiscordFan while she was telling the story. WOW!! That was a great ending, and it was much shorter than Twilight's story! Rarity Rarity woke up to a knocking on her door. "I'm coming, darling! Please wait," she said. Rarity ran a brush through her mane and put mascara on. More knocking. "I'm almost ready, darling!" She trotted over to the door and opened it. Fancy Pants was standing there. "Oh, Fancy Pants! How nice to see you again!" "As to you, Lady Rarity," he replied. "So what brings you here?" "Well, we've been going out for a few months, and I've been wondering..." He pulled out a small purple velvet box... "Will you marry me, Rarity Belle?" Rarity gazed at the ring presented before her. It a silver with a diamond. "Oh, Fancy Pants! Of course I'll marry you! You're generous, kind, handsome, and such a gentlecolt. Yes! I'll say 'yes!'" Rarity leaped to Fancy Pants and hugged him. Fancy Pants was a bit surprised, but returned the embrace. Applejack Applejack woke up at dawn (as usual) and made herself cinnamon pancakes topped with apple slices and some honey. A perfect breakfast for Apple family member (or just Applejack). She ate quietly. Then she got her gifts for her friends: a book on apples for Twilight, apple seeds for Fluttershy, rare pink candy apple seeds for Pinkie, a diamond apple for Rarity (not edible), and a few barrels full of Zap Apple Cider for Rainbow. (Apple-themed gifts. What a surprise.) As a gift to herself, Applejack relaxed the rest of the day. Rainbow Dash Rainbow woke up to find six barrels of Zap Apple Cider outside her door. Cider... CIDER!! Let's be honest, can I say anything else about Rainbow's Hearth's Warming? Chapter 4: BedrestIt was June. Oh, no. IT'S BUCKING JUNE!!! Fluttershy would have to go on bedrest! Her animals would be alone with Discord practically the whole entire time! For the baby, Shy. For the baby. She rubbed her plump stomach. Her baby... She would see her baby in about a month. Fluttershy sighed as she remembered the recent events: Twilight's relationship with BlueBlood, Rarity's wedding with Fancy Pants, Rainbow's sudden relationship with Flash Sentry (and turned out they had been meeting secretly), Pinkie Pie and Spike dating, and Applejack and... Soarin? Fluttershy found that pair a little bit weird. VANILLA!!!! Oh, come on. You were doing so good! "Discord," Fluttershy called, "It's June!" Discord appeared in front of Fluttershy. He grabbed her and carried her gingerly upstairs. "Alright! To the bedroom," Discord shouted. "Don't worry, Shy-shy. I didn't forget about the bedrest." "O-oh! The baby kicked!" "Angel! Get the ice-cream!" The loyal rabbit hopped in, saluted, and hopped out. Discord was set her on the bed. "Alright. Fluttershy, you're goin' on bedrest for a month, as the doctor prescribed. Understood?" Fluttershy giggled at Discord's get-up. He was wearing a doctor's outfit and a plastic-mouth-mask. She nodded as she continued to giggle. She loved her 'chaotic' husband. "Thank you, Dissy. I glad you remembered." "Why would I forget?!" "'Cause you Dissy. And you're also my Dissy!" "Fair enough. Let's see... Here's a bottomless-metal bucket, a 'Think_It-Eat_it' cabinet, craving-pills, and your stomach-cramp pills. Is that everything, Shy-shy?" "I-I think so..." *kick, KICK* "Ow! Dissy?" "Yes?" "I think it's gonna be an earth pony with the strength of an Apple times ten." "Then we have a serious problem." Fluttershy giggled, and Discord began to chuckle. The couple stayed like that even when Angel came back with Fluttershy's favorite ice-cream. It had been two weeks, and Fluttershy was sick and tired of being on bedrest. As Discord would put it, it's "sooooo BOOOOORING!!!" Fluttershy sighed and continued her jig-saw puzzle. It was of two bunnies playing together. It was pretty cute, for sure! She was just bored to Tartarus. Fluttershy groaned. *kick, KI-* *BLEEEHH* Thank Dissy for bottomless buckets. She dragged her ice-cream across the bed next to her. It was her favorite: Petunia Petal Bliss, a mixture of, well... petunias, chocolate, and vanilla. Utter bliss to Fluttershy. She devoured the ice-cream whole-heartily. Utter, utter bliss... If the baby didn't like Petinia Petal Bliss, then Fluttershy didn't think the baby was hers. Joking! I'll always love my baby... she finished the tub of ice-cream; she gazed sadly into the empty tub. "ANGEEEEEEEEEEEELLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Angel, downstairs, fainted on the spot. Three weeks of boredom. Discord now didn't leave his plump wife's side. Her friends were getting worried. Fluttershy refused to eat anything but her Petunia Petal Bliss. If she did, she'd barf. It was getting worse. She began to twitch violently in her sleep with no nightmares. Twilight informed Luna about Fluttershy's nighttime, uh... conditions. When told Twilight Fluttershy wasn't even dreaming, Twilight panicked. She couldn't help her friend. To make matters worse, Fluttershy missed Twilight's proposal with BlueBlood. When Fluttershy learned she had slept through her friend's proposal, she immediately began bawling her eyes out. Now, it was three days until the baby's due date. What would happen? Fluttershy woke up in the middle of the night. She felt a warm liquid trickling on her back legs. Am I peeing?! She looked at Discord's automatic-changing calendar: June Seventh! Holy. BUCKING. Celestia. My water broke... "DISSSYY!!!!!!!!!" He appeared, disappeared with Fluttershy, and appeared in the hospital. "Her water broke! Get her in a room! NOW!!!!! Fluttershy was resting in a hospital room on one of their beds. Discord gazed through the door window. "Sir, we're going to have you to leave." Discord nodded and headed towards the lobby. He stayed there the rest of night, curled up on the small blue-green chairs. "You're gonna be fine, Shy-shy. You're gonna be fine," Discord whispered. "I love you..." And he fell asleep in the lobby. Chapter 5: The Baby's Birthday"Ma'am," the doctor said, "I just need you to breath in the laughing-gas, okay? Your kid does not want to come out." Fluttershy shakily nodded. She felt plastic being put over her muzzle. The gas... made Fluttershy want to giggle, so she did. After a few minutes, she fell asleep from her giggle-fit, no longer knowing what the doctors were doing. "Okay, ponies! We need to perform an emergency birth." "Doc, are you sure we should?" "We're just gonna sow her womb up after anyways." "Alright." The doctors and nurses set to work. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Discord had woken up from a horrible dream showing... Fluttershy's body laid on the ground, unconscious. Discord dived down quickly. "Fluttershy..? Shy-shy, answer me! No... no, no, no," Discord whispered holding Fluttershy's body. She had no heartbeat. Her stomach was bloody, and near where her stomach was on the ground, was a blurry image the size... of a foal. Discord carefully picked up the blurry image. No heartbeat. Discord began to cry. The mirror appeared, and the draconequas looked at Discord and smirked, "See what happens when you don't control chaos? Chaos happens around you." "Leave me alone, you mother-bucker," Discord snarled. "You killed my wife and my baby... Haven't you caused enough damage!?" The mirror disappeared. The mirror draconequas' voice echoed throughout the landscape, "Chaos can never cause enough damage. Which is why you did this..." Discord was panting and sweating, sitting up on the hospital lobby chairs. He began shaking and sobbing. "Shy-shy... please be alright," he whispered. He fell asleep after maybe an hour. Tears covered the lobby chairs he was lying on. "Discord, lord of chaos," a nurse announced, "Mrs. Fluttershy is ready to see you. Please, follow me." The nurse trotted away with Discord in pursuit. The nurse went to the last door at the end of the hallway. "Fluttershy? Are you ready for a visitor?" "Yes, please," she heard Fluttershy whispered. The nurse nodded at Discord as she opened the door. Discord walked in and saw no baby. No cradle. "Shy-shy," Discord asked, "where's the baby?" Fluttershy smiled. "Dissy," Fluttershy responded, "you know the doctors take the baby at first." "Shy-shy, what's wrong?" She continued smiling gently. "Dissy?" "Yes..?" "I had twins..." Discord's jaw dropped to the floor. "Wh-what?" "One boy, on girl. Discord, aren't you happy?" "I-I don't know..." "Mrs. Fluttershy," asked a voice across the door, "may we come in?" "Yes, you may," Fluttershy said. A nurse came in pushing a wheeled-cradle holding two babies. One was wrapped in a blue blanket, the other wrapped in pink. The doctor stood in the doorway. "Would you like to hold them," asked the nurse, "Mrs. Fluttershy and Mr. Discord?" "Yes, please. Each respective gender," Fluttershy replied. The nurse nodded and picked up the baby boy. She nudged Discord. Discord looked at baby the nurse was holding, and he gingerly picked him up and cradled him. He was a creamy-coffee brown unicorn with a pink mane and his tail was peeking out the bottom of the blanket. His mane and tail had thin streaks of hot pink. He yawned revealing... tiny fangs?!!?? "Shy-shy-iiiiiiiiiiiii," Discord said with panick rising in his voice, but Fluttershy was busy with her other baby. She was a light, light, light yellow, almost white. Her hair was a dark brown with a fat, white streak. You couldn't see her tail peeking out of the blanket. But Fluttershy's favorite part were her baby's horns. One was a light blue antler, and the other was a brownish yellow goat horn. Fluttershy giggled. "Dissy," Fluttershy giggled, "Dissy, look at her horns!" Discord walked over and looked. He slapped his hand over his mouth, trying not to laugh and wake them. Her horns were the opposite of Discord's! "Mrs. Fluttershy," the doctor asked, "I have to ask you if you want to stay until tomorrow or for two more days?" "Tomorrow, please," Fluttershy replied. The doctor nodded. "See you tomorrow, Mrs. Fluttershy." He left, but he kept the door open for Discord. Discord looked at his wife. He put the baby in her other hoof. Then he leaned over, and they kissed. "Bye, Shy-shy. I love you..." :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: The next day, Discord came back to the hospital to pick up Fluttershy. Discord carried the baby boy, and Fluttershy carried the baby girl. For some reason, they were bawling their heads off. For the girl, quite literally. Her head was coming off. Discord and Fluttershy switched babies, since Discord had more experience with chaotic powers. They were still bawling. Finally, Discord put Fluttershy in a wheelchair, and he gave her the baby girl. Silence. "Well, now we know not to separate them," Discord joked. "Um, yeah," replied a very tired Fluttershy. She had been feeding all night. When one baby wasn't feeding, the other was. And the weird thing was, as soon as one stopped, the other was hungry. It was like they were on shifts or something. Suddenly, the girl began blubbering and whimpering, signaling that she was hungry again. Fluttershy sighed. "Disarray," Discord asked. Fluttershy nodded, "Disarray it is." Louder whimpers. "I know, I know..." :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: By the time they got to the cottage, Fluttershy had fed three times. Twice for Disarray, and once for the boy. He had opened his eyes for the first time. One was teal like his mother's eyes, but the other was only teal, no pupil. Discord had told Fluttershy about his fangs, so they had decided on "Teal Fang" for a name. So Teal Fang was chill in' out. They stopped at the bridge to see Swap running/waddling quickly with Mix-Up angrily chasing him. Just a normal day. "Dissy," Fluttershy whispered more quietly then usual, "we haven't seen Pinkie today." Discord nodded in understanding and left Fluttershy at the bridge, going to the door. He grabbed the doorknob and flung the door open while leaping to the side. "SURPRISE," yelled Pinkie as confetti flew out the door. She had a party-favor in her mouth and was wearing a party hat. "Where's Discord?" "Over here," Discord replied, waving his claw at everypony: Pinkie Pie, Spike, Rarity, Fancy Pants, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, BlueBlood, and Twilight Sparkle. "You had a unicorn," exclaimed Twilight, "Squee! I'll get to have a student!" Then she was lost in endless thought. BlueBlood put his hoof on her shoulder, bring her out of "The Twilight Zone." That's when Fluttershy noticed the platinum ring hanging around Twilight's neck by purple thread. It was had no specific design, and it had a amethyst with two small diamonds beside it. "Oh, Twilight," Fluttershy said, "it's beautiful... When's the wedding?" "Hopefully in two months," beamed Twilight. Then Disarray woke up, opening her eyes for the first time. They were normal pony eyes with a red pupil, but a yellow background. (I don't actually know what it is called. Or if it's the pupil or cornia.) A yellow and pink... creature that smelled like mommy was holding her. A similar creature that smelled like her brother was next to her. That's when Disarray noticed a strange (cozy) pink thing wrapped around her. She squirmed a bit in attempt to be released. Stupid thing! How dare it hold her, the daughter of chaos. Disarray paused. What's "chaos?" She continued her fight with the pink contraption. Disarray then began growling and ~~biting~~ teething on the contraption. Everypony laughed, giggled, or chuckled. "Fluttershy," Rarity giggled, "I think she wants to be let out." Harder laughter. Disarray continued her battle, now snarling. Stupid contraption! She would get out, no matter what! Disarray snarled again. She wish the contraption would disappear!! *ZA-PLING* Her blanket disappeared, revealing her body. (You already know her head.) Her body was brown like Discord's, but not as long as it would've been as a baby. She had a left yellow pegasus' wing and a right dragonfly's wing. She had a leapord's tail, a reptile's back right leg, a cow's back left leg, a fox's front right leg, and a pony's front left leg. She was a draconaquus. "Daddy's girl," Discord said. He crossed his arms proudly. Disarray then climbed up her mother, and she curled up on her mother's head. She yawned from being asleep so long and lazily sat there. Teal Fang, noticing his sister removing the cozy thing, wanted to as well. Suddenly, his horn lit up, and the blanket disappeared. He had a normal pony body. Oh, yeah. Except for his bat-wings! "Huh," Rainbow said, "you have an alicorn, Flutters!" Fluttershy just nodded. A bat alicorn. I wonder if he'll like apples... Then, the Royal Sisters dropped from the sky. "We sensed an ascension, yesterday," announced ~~Moon-Butt~~ Luna. Pinkie giggled at what Discord did to the story. "...but we now see the alicorn is in good hooves." "Um, sister," Celestia said, "you may want to look up." Luna looked up. Her eyes widen. "Y-you," Luna stuttered, "gave birth to a draconaquus?" Fluttershy meekly nodded. "Thank you, everypony," Discord said (like a TV announcer), "for meeting 'The Chaos Family!' Goodnight!" "Um, Dissy," Fluttershy said, "it's the afternoon." "Goodbye," Discord corrected. And remember to leave a comment on how awesome I am! Great!! Now I have to worry about Pinkie Pie and Discord breaking the forth wall!!?! Author's Note Hope you enjoy the kids!! Picture Yay! Now, anybrony can look at the chaotic angels or bundles of chaos. Um, let's see... Do I need to ~~say~~ type anything else... How about how awesome I am? Since you know, I'm the best god in Equestria. Moon-Butt and Sun-Butt aren't. ... Really? Discord, I know you're awsome and all, but please stop interrupting me. Okay? *grumble* Fine... Ahem, um... So, this was for Derpinat0r. Well, type 'ya later! Author's Note You're all welcome! I didn't type this in the comments since (maybe) a lot of bronies will say "d'aww" or "thank you!" Enjoy!
Prologue: The SymptomsFluttershy was not feeling so good. She was constantly barfing and craving cotton-candy for some reason. Angel, Fluttershy thought, bucket, please. The rabbit got her thoughts and handed her the bucket she had been using. *BLEEEEHH* More barf was added to the bucket. Angel gave it to the otter to go clean it out and got another bucket just in case. "Thank you, Angel," Fluttershy wispered. Her stomach growled. She felt an awful cramp and winced in pain. Cotton-candy!! A few birds came flying over in a hurry with the sweet fluffy sugar. Hot sauce! Wait what!? Never mind! Go get hot sauce! Her stomach felt like it was exploding from not getting what it wanted. More birds came in and dumped the hot sauce on the cotton-candy. Fluttershy ate the strange combo, and her stomach calmed down. She sighed. This had started a few weeks ago, and now she only got out of her cottage for her spa-date with Rarity. OH NO!! The spa-date! I forgot all about it. Angel, you're in charge. Clean the house while I'm gone. Be good every-animal!! Fluttershy went to the door as fast as she could. Her belly, even though the symptoms had started a few weeks ago, had started to grow a few months ago. Fluttershy thought she was pregnant, which wouldn't be unlikely, but her husband, Discord, still didn't know. Princess Celestia had called him away a few months ago, before her belly started to grow, and he still hasn't come back. Before her belly was noticeable, she got Twilight to send a letter asking, but the reply said that Discord was running a long-term-errand. Fluttershy kept heading towards the spa. She hope she wasn't too late. CUPCAKES!!!! CHOCOLATE MILK!!!! COTTON CANDY!!!! SYRUP!!!! CHICKEN!!!! WHAT?!?!? PIE!!!! SEAWEED!!!! Wait, what? Fluttershy shook her head clear of thoughts as she ran into the spa. Rarity wasn't there yet, but Aloe was. "Hello, Fluttershy," she said, "Waiting for Rarity?" Fluttershy nodded. Then she heard the door bell go off, and a certain white unicorn stepped in. "Why hello, Fluttershy darling," Rarity said, "I'm so glad you made it! No pony usually sees you around town. Are you alright?" "Y-yes. I'm f-fine Rarity," said Fluttershy. "Alright then! Ready for our spa-date?" Good. Rarity didn't notice my stomach. CHEESECAKE!!!! Shut up, stomach! O-oh my. I'm sorry, stomach. I didn't mean it. BUTTER, BUTTER, BUTTER, BUTTER!!!!!!!!! Fluttershy nodded to Rarity's question. "Splendid, darling! Come on, let's go," she said cheerfully. They headed to the baths. They got the same thing every time. Relaxing bath, sea wraps, and facials. Usually, Fluttershy got the smallest thing for each thing, but this time for the bath, she went for level-5-heat, the hottest there was. For the sea wraps, she got body wrap, but ate the seaweed! And for the facials, she asked for extra cucumbers, just to eat them. Rarity noticed this... odd behavior. What was Fluttershy doing? And was Fluttershy's stomach bigger? "Um... Fluttershy, darling," Rarity began, "what exactly are you doing? You're eating anything edible and choosing the most extreme options for everything." "LEAVE ME ALONE," the buttercream yellow pegasus bellowed, "Oh! Rarity, I'm so sorry I-I don't know where that came fr-" "Fluttershy," Rarity said, "what's going on! Please tell me." The white unicorn stroked the buttercream yellow pegasus' mane, and Fluttershy was crying for yelling at her friend. "Oh Rarity-" RASPBERRIES!!!! "-I don't-" DONUTS!!!! "-know what's going-" COCONUTS!!!! "-on with me." MANGOS!!!! "Well, by the eating and mood swings, may I guess," replied the unicorn. Fluttershy nodded. "Are you pregnant?" Fluttershy's eyes widen, and then... she burst into tears. "I am! I AM!!!!" Fluttershy continued to cry and blubber her eyes out. Rarity stroked the pegasus' mane in attempt to calm her down. Soon the pregnant mare was sobbing into the unicorn's shoulder. "Thank you, Rarity," Fluttershy said, "I honestly needed that." PANCAKES, WAFFLES, PANCAKES, WAFFLES, PANCAKES, WAFFLES, SYRUP, SYRUP, SYRUP, SYRUP!!!!!!!!!!!! "I guess I'll head home now. Bye, Rarity." Fluttershy started to head home, but... "Fluttershy, wait!" Fluttershy turned around to see Rarity trotting after her. "F-Fluttershy, d-does Discord know?" Fluttershy shook her head. "I have no communication with him, so I don't know," replied Fluttershy. Rarity put on a pitiful expression. "You mean... the future father doesn't know..." Fluttershy nodded sadly. Rarity gave the pregnant mare a hug. Fluttershy was feeling much more rela- COTTON-CANDY!!!!-xed. Fluttershy sighed. Best go home. Angel will be wai- Oh, no. *BLEEEHH* Fluttershy puked in front of Rarity. Fluttershy turned and galloped faster than Rainbow Dash! She didn't stop until she was at her cottage. She slammed the door, ran upstairs, and flopped on the bed. Once Fluttershy realized what she did, she began sobbing on her bed. She just ran away from her friend. Her BEST friend. She had asked Discord to let her be the Best Mare at the wedding when he refused to decide! Oh... What had Fluttershy done? Her animals received her distress. Angel Bunny came hoppin' in, panicky, and with... a bucket. Fluttershy giggled at this. "Thank you, Angel Bunny," she said. The rabbit saluted, his duty done. Then Fluttershy thought of something else. Sonic!? Could you get Owlowiscious, and tell him to tell Twilight to tell Celestia to tell Discord that I-I'm... That I'm pregnant...
Chapter 1: To Tell FriendsSonic had told Owlowiscious, and Twilight was heading over with the rest of the Mane 6 (and Spike). Fluttershy was nervous. What if the others reacted inappropriately. That would make Fluttershy feel so sa- *BLEEEHH* Thank you for the bucket, Angel Bunny. More barf. Yay... What a joy. COTTON-CANDY!!!! Shut up, stomach! I'm sick and tired of you! CUPCAKES? O-oh. I'm so sorry stomach. WHY THE BUCK AM I APOLOGIZING TO MY STOMACH?!?! Oh my. The mood swings are getting worse. Fluttershy shook her head. She was "talking" to her stomach! Fluttershy sighed. The next few months were going to be long and har- *BLEEEHH* Stupid stomach. WAFFLES, SYRUP!!!! Oh, shut up! She heard a knock on the door and said, "Come in." Five ponies and one dragon walked into her cottage. "Flutters, what's goin' on!? Why are puking in front of Rarity," asked Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow! Seriously," screamed Twilight. She pulled out a newspaper from no where and hit Rainbow Dash on the head with it. "Ow," Rainbow screamed. Rarity facehoofed. This was going to be awhile. Fluttershy's stomach groaned. "Girls," she wispered. They continued to... argue?... with each other. "Girls," she said a little louder. Still arguing. "GIRLS," she bellowed. Applejack jumped. Twilight was now stuck to the ceiling, courtesy of her horn. Rainbow Dash was unconscious after banging her head off the ceiling. Pinkie Pie... Pinkie Pie went Pinkamena. And Rarity was gaping, wide-eyed at Fluttershy. Fluttershy shrunk back, ashamed. Sh-she yelled at her friends. Why would she do that?! Fluttershy began to sob. "Oh, Fluttershy, I'm sorry darling," Rarity said, "Are we upsetting you?" Fluttershy nodded a tiny bit, and Rarity leaned over to hug her. They shared the loving embrace for a little but were interrupted. "Twilight," the dragon, Spike, said, "Letter from the Princess about... Discord?" "Let me see that," Fluttershy screamed angrily while grabbing the scroll. She read and began to sob. She rubbed her stomach with her hoof. After a few minutes, she said, "Daddy's comin' home. Daddy's comin' home..." Fluttershy's friends just stared at the scene. Their friend was rubbing and whispering to her stomach. Do make matters more akward, Fluttershy was saying "Daddy." Would Discord be happy? Weirded out? Discord? Who knew. Well, maybe their new friend God, but he didn't count right now. God knew everything. But then again, so does Pinkie, sometimes... "Flutters, I'm sorry," said Rainbow Dash, "I was just... overwhelmed by the recent events." Twilight, still hanging from the ceiling, gaped at what the now conscious mare said. I-it sounded mature! But... But Rainbow Dash said it. Was the apocalypse starting. Twilight began to hyperventilate... And Fluttershy noticed. "Oh, Twilight," she said, "Do you need help?" "YES," screamed Twilight, "LOOK OUTSIDE AND TELL ME IF THE APOCALYPSE IS STARTING." Twilight began twitch. Fluttershy looked worriedly at her Twilight. After deciding, she flew up , and she got Twilight unstuck from the ceiling. Wow. How did a small horn make such a big hole? COTTON-CANDY!!!! Shut up! Applejack looked at the hole. "Wow," Applejack said, "Ah don't even tank one o' my bucks can do 'dat." Twilight looked, and she nearly got stuck in the ceiling again. Now, that was a big hole. "Oh, Twilight, don't worry," said Fluttershy, "When Discord comes home next week, he'll fix it with a snap of his fingers. Literally!" Fluttershy giggled. Twilight looked over at her, now pregnant, friend. She put on a sheepish face, since she made a hole in her friend's ceiling, but she didn't panick because of what her friend said. Twilight just nodded dumbly, lost in thought. Fluttershy giggled again. SYRUP!!!! "Shut up," screamed Fluttershy. Her friends' eyes widen. Fluttershy was starting to hide behind her mane. Why would I say that out loud? LICORICE!!!! Oh, yeah... Fluttershy sighed. "I sorry, girls," she stated, "I didn't mean to say that out loud." "Aww... 'Dat's ok, sugarcube," said Applejack. All of her friends nodded in agreement. Fluttershy blushed. This was going to be a long week before Discord came home. Oh, no... *BLEEEHH* Thank, Celestia, for buckets. Fluttershy looked sheepishly at her friends. "Sorry..." All of her friends laughed playfully in return. "Oh, darling," Rarity laughed, "all pregnant mares have to go through it." "And so do sick ponies," Pinkie joined in. Fluttershy giggled once more. Pinkie Pie always knew what to do. "Hey," said Pinkie, "when's the kid due!? I. Must. Know. When. To. Plan. The. BABY-SHOWER!" She began bouncing happily. Fluttershy was quivering from the loudness... And Pinkie Pie was oblivious to it. Rainbow Dash facehoofed, because she noticed. Rainbow fluttered over to her quivering friend, and Rainbow hugged her. "Thanks, Dashie," Fluttershy whispered. Rainbow blushed at Pinkie's pet-name because only, well, Pinkie used it. But... if it made Flutters happy, then... Rainbow would deal with it. She was the element of Loyalty. She was going to be loyal to Fluttershy's wishes if Flutters was happy. Nothing could make Rainbow happier. Rainbow tightened her embrace. Fluttershy cried out in pain, and Rainbow Dash quickly let go. Th-the baby kicked... Fluttershy began sobbing with a small smile on her face. Her baby had kicked... for the first time. Her smiled widened. "Flutters, what happened," Rainbow Dash asked. "The baby kicked," she whispered. "What," asked Applejack. "The baby kicked," Fluttershy screamed joyously. Her baby had kicked its first kick! Fluttershy did a tiny dance, which Pinkie Pie joined in on. How Pinkie did the correct dance moves was because... that's how life on Equs just worked. Eventually, the whole Mane 6 (and Spike) were doing the tiny dance. Rainbow Dash finally realized what they were doing, "Why are we doing Flutters' happy dance?" "Because it's fun," exclaimed Pinkie Pie, continuing the dance. Rainbow facehoofed. "So when is the baby due," asked Pinkie, again. Fluttershy replied, "Um... I don't... know?" "WHAT," chorused six voices. Fluttershy winced. Oh boy... RASPBERRIES!!!! Shut up! Pinkie Pie suddenly appeared with a stretcher and a doctor's costume on, "We need get this mare to the hospital. NOW!" She bounced away, pushing Fluttershy on the stretcher. The other four ponies and dragon followed. One ultrasound later... "Well, Miss-," Doctor Stable was interrupted. "Um... I'm married, Doctor Stable," Fluttershy said softly. Doctor Stable cleared his throat, "Of course, Misses Fluttershy. Anyway your baby is due on... July 7th." "What's the baby's gender?" "Um... The ultrasound couldn't detect your child's gender for some reason or another." "Wh-what do you mean?" "Usually an embryo as old as your's would be able to have its gender detected easily, but something won't let us." "O-oh... WHY DON'T YOU KNOW YOU! YOU ARE A DOCTOR, YOU SHOULD KNOW! O-oh my. Um... my mood swings are getting worse..." Doctor Stable blinked. His mane was now messed up, and his glasses were crooked. "Um... I noticed." Fluttershy blushed. "Anyway," Doctor Stable continued, "I recommend bed-rest at least one month before the due date." "O-ok, Doctor. I will." "Oh, and no carrying anything heavy from now until two months after the baby is born." "Alright, Doctor. I won't carry anything heavy until then." "Alright, Misses Fluttershy, I'll see you around that date. Goodbye." "Bye, Doctor." "Alright, baby. Let's go home." Fluttershy felt the baby kick again. She smiled gently. CHOCOLATE MILK!!!! Shut up already!
Chapter 2: Daddy's HomeFluttershy was doing her happy dance. Discord was coming home today. Her friends (except for Applejack because of farm-work) had been taking turns feeding her animals breakfast. Even Spike had helped out! Yes, Fluttershy had walked them through how to feed her animals and helped with the light-feeding, but her friends didn't have that same "touch" as Discord or herself. What Discord did, Fluttershy didn't know. Hay, even Discord didn't know! But that didn't matter so much as the fact that Discord was coming home, that made Fluttershy do her happy dance! Future Daddy Discord is coming home, baby. COTTON-CANDY, CHOCOLATE MILK!!!!!!!! Shut up, stomach! She sighed. Still "talking" to her stomach. Yup, it's going to be a long nine months. STEAK!!!! I thought we talked about this, stomach. No meat! CHICKEN!!!! You are truly evil sometimes. The door's lock jiggled. He's here! HORSERADISH!!!! Is that made from horse!? Ponies are distant cousins! COTTON-CANDY, CHOCOLATE MILK!!!! What is with you and Discord's favorite food? Fluttershy shook (almost) all of her cravings. For some reason, Dissy's favorite always sta-COTTON-CANDY-ys. She sighed. It was going to be a long nine mon- *BLEEEHH*-ths. Yup, a LONG nine months. The doorknob turned slowly... Here comes Daddy, baby! Are you ready to meet your Daddy Dissy? PICKLES!!!! That's new, but I'm taking that as a yes. The door burst open dramatically, confetti fell from nowhere, and revealed... Nothing? Where is he? WHERE WAS HER SMOOC-EMS!!!?!?!! WHERE WAS HER DISSY!!!!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHOCOLATE!!!! NOT NOW, YOU STUPID, BUCKING STOMACH! "SURPRISE," yelled Discord, popping out of... Angel Bunny's cookie jar? When had ~~Dissy~~ Discord installed a chaos portal in Angel's cookie jar? Whatever. My Dissy's home!! Your Daddy Discord is home, baby. He's home... No cravings? Wow, it's a miracle! "Dissy," screamed Fluttershy, louder than intended. Discord looked a little shock at hearing her scream, but he hugged her tightly. Fluttershy cried out in pain. Discord let go, panicked at hurting his wife. Had he, the lord of chaos, hurt his own wife? He hoped not! "Fluttershy," he said, "Are you okay?" "Yes, but Dis-" "Oh, thank, Celestia. I thought I hurt you." "No, I'm fine, but-" "Oh, that's good. I thought I might've-" "DISSY!" Discord jumped a little. "O-oh. S-sorry, Dissy. I-I... I-it's just," she took a long, deep breath, "Dissy, I have something very, very important to tell you." "What is it? Whatever it is, I'll protect you, Shy-shy!" "Discord. It's not that. You see, about a week ago, Celestia sent me letter, remember?" "Yeess...?" "Well... Right before then, my friends were over, because I had, um... puked in front of Rarity?" She winced. Discord blinked. "Anndd..." He motioned her to continue. "I-told-them-I-was-pregnant-and-then-they-took-me-to-the-hospital-to-get-an-ultrasound-and-the-baby's-gender-can't-be-identified-and-it's-due-in-a-little-less-than-nine-months!" Fluttershy braced herself for some verbal-assault or something else. She opened one eye. Discord was... hugging her? How had she not noticed? Meh, who cared? She snuggled closer into Discord. "I love you, Dissy..." "I love you, Shy-shy..." And they stayed in each other's embrace for a while after that before Pinkie Pie came out of nowhere and said, "DISCORD'S-BACK-HOME PARTY!!!!!!" And balloons and confetti fell from nowhere, and their friends suddenly walked downstairs with puzzled expressions on their faces. And they partied the rest of the day. Author's Note And God came a few minutes, after the others came downstairs, and brought pizza.
Chapter 3: Hearth's WarmingDiscord rested his hand on his sleeping wife's stomach. The baby kicked. Twice! Initially, Discord had been shocked when Pinkie threw that welcome-back party about a month ago, but just as excited! When Fluttershy told him the gender couldn't be identified for some reason, he used his magic. But something blocked him from seeing the kid, period! He got frustrated (for a few days), but eventually settled for the fact that they couldn't truly name him/her until he/she was born. After all, the more chaos, the better! The baby kicked again. Discord smiled. A genuine smile! Discord doesn't do that often. He heard a slapping-sound from the doorway and turned to see a certain platypus. Discord chuckled. He rubbed his wife's belly to feel several kicks! Odd... Discord shrugged it off and rolled out of bed. "Com'on , Mix-Up," he whispered softly, careful not to wake his pregnant wife on... he checked the calender... HEARTH'S WARMING EVE!!??!? Wh-what?! When?! Has it really been that long since he came home... over a month? He tried to shake his head clear of thoughts, which is real darn hard when you're the god of chaos! What would his kid be? The demigod of chaos? Maybe... He walked downstairs and into the kitchen with Mix-Up following obediently. The platypus was hungry. Discord found Mix-Up's bowl in one of the cupboards. Ahh... he remembered when he first moved in with Fluttershy... "Too, bad our honey-moon is over," said Discord. Fluttershy replied, "Yes, but we're at our new home as a married couple!" Discord nodded happily. "Mix-Up," he called, "Mix-Up, com'on boy, we need to unpack! Where is that trouble-maker?" The platypus came waddling over to Discord with another platypus. "Who's that, Mix-Up," Discord asked, "Fluttershy?" His wife giggled, "That's Clay. I found her injured at Foggy-Bottom Bay." "Her?" "Yes? Clay is a girl. Is that a problem, Dissy?" "No, no! Just sounded more like boy's name..." ...And a few months later, there were four baby platypi that needed to be taken care of. Discord sighed. Their names were Swap, Playdo, Cloudy, and Patter. Angels, before they learned how to walk. They were so cute, and their waddling was so slow and adorable! But they got faster. Discord shook his disappointedly when he remembered the day Swap almost died... Sawp was the most adventurous. He was the leader! And today, adventures would lead him to... Stairs! Mt. Stairs didn't stand a chance against Swap. He was daring, and he was going to be first platypus to get to the top... today. To the top today! It was his destiny! And his long and treacherous journey began, hopping from step to step. Yes! He was almost there. He was almost to the top... One more step... He made one more leap... And missed the step. He was dead. And once he died, Dad would kill him, again! It was all over. It was all over!! And once Dad killed him, Mom would kill him for the third time! He was done! He waited for pain... that still hadn't come? The "daring" platypus shakily opened his eyes that he didn't realize he had closed. He saw... Master Discord holding him, and one of those bushy things above Master's eyes, was raised. Had Swap done something wrong? Master Discord put him down gently, smiling and shaking his head. ...Discord shook his head along with memory Discord's head. That was a scary day. His thoughts drifted back to the date. Hearth's Warming Eve? He had to get his Shy-shy a gift. This was going to be their second Hearth's Warming! What was he gonna get her!? Let's see... Last year he got her a puppy. Snow had become best-friends with him. The two pups are so adorable! Anyway... Not another animal. Discord would feel like crap if he did that! Discord gave Mix-Up his bowl. Ahh... How Discord loved that his thoughts were faster-than-light. Discord, with his head on the table thinking, watched Mix-Up eat. He closed his eyes... But then they snapped open, and his head flew up. He knew exactly what to get Fluttershy. {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} Discord walked to Twilight's palace. He never got thought he would come here willingly. He walked into the tree-palace, whose entrance was a library. He found the lavender Alicorn he was looking for was reading. Why wouldn't she be! Discord walked up to a currently book-absorbed Twilight Sparkle. She didn't even look up. "What do you want, Discord," Twilight said, "that Fluttershy isn't here?" She looked up from her book to see... A blushing Discord? She raised eyebrow. "W-well, um," stammered Discord, "For Fluttershy's Hearth's Warming gift, I was wondering if you had a movie screen and projector I could borrow? I know it's a bit last minute, but... It's for Fluttershy." Discord looked at Twilight somewhat pleadingly. Twilight was surprised to see this. This was Discord. "And you can't conjure one up because... Why?" "I never needed one, so I don't have any in my pocket-dimension!" "You have a what now?!" "Nothing. Anyway... Can I borrow one... Puh-p-ple..." Discord looked like he was constipated, and as soon as he said the word, he was gonna poop. "PLEASE! Please, Twilight, pleeeease!" Twilight was so surprised she had a wing-boner. She blushed while folding her wings back up. She tossed Discord some keys. "Third door, on your left. It should be in the front of the closet." "THANK YOU, TWILIGHT! Thank you!" Then Discord rushed off to the third door on the left. As ~~Princess Sparkle-Butt~~ Twilight had said, the projector and a rolled up white sheet were near the front of the closet. Discord picked them both up, and started to walk back to his wife's and his cottage. "Thanks, Twilight," he said rushing out the door. "Whatever..." muttered, a once more, book-occupied-Twilight. {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} Discord teleported inside once he remembered he could snap his claw or paw and be home. Once at home, he found an auguring-pegasus and rabbit. Discord sighed. Another augment meant another agitated Angel Bunny. "You never eat you greens, Angel Bunny," he heard Fluttershy say, "How will you take care of the cottage when I go to Canterlot for the Hearth's-Warming-Eve Pageant! Discord Pinkie Promised he would come, so this year, you're taking care of every-animal." The white rabbit fiercely glared at his kind and patient master, Fluttershy. Why should he take of the place? Why couldn't Discord's oh-so-special-pet, Mix-Up, take care of it!? "Now, Angel! You know that Mix-Up and Clay have a family to care of, and you know better than any-animal how to take care of the cottage. And maybe, just MAYBE Santa Hooves will leave you some Carrot-Candies?" Angel's ears shoot upward. Carrot-Candies!? He hadn't had one of those since... Wow, it's been too long for him to remember. Discord chuckled at the argument, causing Fluttershy to look up. "Oh, Discord! You're home! Did you go for a walk?" "Something like that, Shy-shy." Discord chuckled again. Good thing he already stored the stuff in his pocket-dimension. He chuckled some louder and harder. "So, Dissy! Aren't you excited for tomorrow!" Fluttershy probably only talked "normally" in front of Discord. She didn't even talk "normally" in front of her friends! "Of course, Shy-shy! I'm gonna finally be in the Hearth's-Warming-Eve Pageant! And we're also gonna see Sun-Butt and Moon-Butt!" "Dissy, I thought we talked about this... You know you shouldn't call the princesses that, even if they encased you in stone the first time." Discord put on a fake-pouty face. "But, Fluttershy," he slurred and said sugary-sweet. He batted the extra-long-eyelashes that had grown on his eyes. Fluttershy rolled her eyes. She loved it when Dissy was well... Dissy. Fluttershy trotted over and hugged him, which took ~~Dissy~~ Discord by surprise. He greeted the embrace warmly and hugged his wife back. "I love you, Shy-shy..." "I love you, Dissy..." {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} Fluttershy woke up with one thing running through her head. COTTON-CANDY PANCAKES WITH CHOCOLATE MILK SYRUP!!!! Where her cravings got that idea, she didn't know or care. Her cravings had finally died down, thanks to time and Discord. He had created some sort of pill Fluttershy had to take with one of her cravings, and they quieted down. But then she realized something else. She was not in her cottage. She was in a "lover's sweet" at ~~Sun-Butt's~~ Celestia's castle. Right... yesterday... Hearth's Warming Eve... Pageant-thing... waking up right now on... Fluttershy's eyes snapped open. It was Hearth's. Warming. DAY. She rolled over to look at... A sleeping draconequus? Weird... Dissy was always up early. She guessed the pageant took more out of him than she thought. Fluttershy felt a pounding in her stomach, and she gently rubbed it. The baby had been a lot more "active" as soon as Discord came home about a month ago, but not as active as he/she was nowadays. Fluttershy shivered and looked at the window that had been beaten open by the howling wind. Maybe they would in Canterlot longer than they had originally thought... She walked over and shut the window and began rubbing her wings all over her body, in attempt to warm up. Her attempt failed. She crawled back into bed and snuggled into her husband. She Fluttershy felt Discord shift in response to the new "thing" in his sleep. He snuggled Fluttershy back once comfortable. *kick, kick, kick* Fluttershy rubbed her stomach, again, to try and calm her baby down. *kick, kick, KICK* "OW!!" Fluttershy looked at her stomach. That... That hurt more than tartarus! She heard shifting. Looks like Dissy wasn't getting that sleep-in... Discord groggily sat up and looked at Fluttershy. He was trying to process why he was awake and looking at her that didn't have the surroundings of their room at home. He grunted, still too tired to do anything. "Sorry for waking you, Dissy," said Fluttershy, "but the baby kicked really, really hard." Another grunt. "C'mon, Dissy. Wake up! It's Hearth's Warming Day!" Discord finally "woke up." "Well, what are we waiting for," he said excitedly, "You need your present!" "Eep!" Fluttershy was suddenly being carried to... somewhere in the castle. A few minutes later, they arrived at a door, and Discord looked like he was about to explode with excitement. He breathed a long, long, long breath. He opened the doors for Fluttershy to behold... a projector and movie screen? Discord motioned for her to take a seat on a double-couch in front of the screen. She sat down and Discord settled next to her. The movie started playing... "Well, love, I suppose, is strong affections between two crea-," Discord was interrupted when Flutteshy leaned over and kissed him. Discord blushed furiously. Fluttershy was preparing breakfast for her animals. She went outside with a tray balanced between her wings with vegetables on it. After hoofing out all the veggies, Fluttershy heard a slapping noise! She turned around to see... Mix-Up? "Mix-Up, what are doing here? Is Discord here," Fluttershy asked, "What's tied around your neck there, Mixy?" She untied it to find a little box, and on the lid was read, "Will you..." She opened the box to find a 14-karrot gold ring with a vivid green emerald. The ring had etches of waves and curves everywhere. It was beautiful. Then Fluttershy noticed, on the inside lid of the box read, "...marry me? -Discord". Fluttershy stared surprised for a moment, but then she actually screamed, "YES!!" The screen continued to show some of Fluttershy's and Discord's most loving memories, and the last one was Fluttershy asking Discord, "What is love?" The projector stopped projecting, and the screen turned to its original white. Fluttershy was crying tears of joy. She borrowed her face into Discord's chest, "Thank you..." Fluttershy pulled something that was stuck in her feathers. She handed Discord a box. As soon as it touched Discord's hand, the box grew in size. He opened it. Inside was a photo of Fluttershy, Discord, Mix-Up, Clay, and the baby platypi. Now it was Discord's turn to cry, which he gladly did. "I love you, Fluttershy..." "I love you, too, Discord..." *kick, kick, kick... kick*
The Rest of the Mane 6's Hearth's WarmingTwilight Sparkle Twilight had woken up to the sound of Spike's magic burp. Twilight moaned at being awoken. What did Celestia want that she couldn't come get Twilight since they were both in the same castle?! "Twilight," exclaimed Spike, "Letter from the princess!" Twilight moaned again. Spike rolled his eyes. "Fine... My dearest, Twilight, For part of your Hearth's Warming gift, I would like to invite you to breakfast with the rest of the princesses and Shining Armor. I hope you come to enjoy our Santa_Hooves-shaped pancakes. Love, 'Tia" Twilight moaned again. She didn't want to get up from her warm, toasty blankets, even if it meant seeing her BBBFF! Warmth was warmth. It was almost as amazing as chocolate. Hmm... chocolate. But the princess had asked for her; she had to go. Twilight continued her moaning while rolling out of bed. Cold... so. Very. COLD! Twilight's eyes snapped open, and she had a wing-boner. Cold, cold, cold, cold... "COLD," she screamed. Spike was suddenly clutching and hanging from the ceiling, back arced, pupils different sizes, and tail straight. Twilight lit up her horn. *POP* A gift basket full of assorted gems appeared. "Happy-Hearth's-Warming-Spike-BYE!!! And Twilight ran out the door towards the dining hall. Spike gaped at the basket. He whistled, "Thank you, Celestia!" He fell off the ceiling with a "oof!" Twilight burst into the dining hall. She rapidly said, "I'm here, I'm here, I'm here!" Everypony turned in her direction. "Oh, good! You would've gotten your present late if you weren't," Celestia said. She levitated boxes over to every alicorn and to Shining Armor a box. She set Twilight's in front of the chair she was heading towards. "Alright, everypony. Open them!" Everypony ripped open their box to each find a sweater. Luna's was light blue with a snowman. Cadence's was yellow with a present. Shining Armor's was dark blue with a Hearth's Warming tree. Twilight's was navy with the Friendship-Heart-of-Fire. Celestia was suddenly wearing a pink sweater with a snowflake on it. Celestia clapped her hooves like a giddy school-filly, "So, what do you all think?" She smiling sill-li-ly. "I got us all 'Ugly-Hearth's-Warming-sweaters!'" "Oh, sister," Luna said, "You shouldn't have." "Nonsense!" "No. You honestly shouldn't have, sister!" Celestia's smile faltered. "B-but... I thought..." "It's okay, Auntie," Cadence said. "Not everypony likes their gifts, but be assured, I like it very much." Celestia sniffed. "Really?" "Of course! This is probably the best gift I've ever gotten from anypony besides from Shiny! I usually just get bits or jewelry! I like this far better." Cadence beamed sincerely at Celestia. The chef walked in. "PANCAKES!!" Havoc broke out. Twilight was trotting towards her room. Breakfast had been... interesting. 'Tia had started a food-war (not fight), and the sides was Butter verses Syrup. Twilight arrived to find a note on her door. Dear Twilight Sparkle, Please meet me in the Royal Canterlot (Indoor) Garden. Anonymous Twilight re-read the note several times. Okay? Why would anypony want to meet her alone... Great it's probably one of Rainbow's pranks, but this isn't anyone of my friend's hoof-writing. She trotted towards the indoor garden. She better see who "Anonymous" is... After a few minutes Twilight arrived at the indoor garden to find... BlueBlood? What did her best childhood friend (besides Shining Armor) want or need? That's when she noticed something off. ~~Bluey~~ BlueBlood didn't have his mane and tail fancy-i-fied. What was going on? "Um, hey, Twi," he stuttered while shuffling nervously, "How's your Hearth's Warming going?" Twilight was a bit surprised to see BlueBlood nervous. "Uh, it's good? Blue why'd you ask me here," Twilight asked. BlueBlood looked at the ground. Twilight noticed he didn't have his dress-collar. "Yeah... Uh, Twi, would you l-like to g-go on a d-date?" She saw BlueBlood brace himself for a type of verbal impact. BlueBlood opened his eyes after a minute or two. Twilight was frozen with thought. "Um, Twilight?" He waved his hoof in front of her face. Nothing happened. He looked around for something small to move out of place. Perfect! A potted-bush. He pushed it less than a millimeter. Twilight unfroze. "S-sure, Bluey," she said. "Um, when?" BlueBlood hadn't thought this far so he didn't know. "Um, how about... at 5:30 p.m?" "Okay..." BlueBlood smiled. "See you then, Twi!" "Um, okay?" And Twilight was alone as BlueBlood left. Twilight blushed as she realized what had happened. "SQUEEE!!!" Pinkie Pie Pinkie woke up to... a PARTY! Hi, Pinkie. Hey, DiscordFan! So, how was your Christmas? Wait, you know what Christmas is? Well, yeah! Everybody does! Um, well... I got all the gifts I wanted so, uh, I'm pretty good! That's great for you! I hope I get everything I want! What's that? For all my friends to be happy. DUHH!! Haha! Okay, Pinkie, let me continue the story. Okay! See 'ya, DiscordFan! Ahem... Pinkie woke up to a party. After that she bounced to the Royal Kitchen to make Santa_Hooves-shaped pancakes. Then she joined in a food-war over what's better: Butter or Syrup. Hmm... Silky, delicious syrup. DiscordFan, c'mon! Continue the story! Right! After that, Pinkie put presents in each of her friends room and gave Spike a pink! gem. Pinkie... Sorry! Yes, okay! And finally Pinkie annoyed DiscordFan while she was telling the story. WOW!! That was a great ending, and it was much shorter than Twilight's story! Rarity Rarity woke up to a knocking on her door. "I'm coming, darling! Please wait," she said. Rarity ran a brush through her mane and put mascara on. More knocking. "I'm almost ready, darling!" She trotted over to the door and opened it. Fancy Pants was standing there. "Oh, Fancy Pants! How nice to see you again!" "As to you, Lady Rarity," he replied. "So what brings you here?" "Well, we've been going out for a few months, and I've been wondering..." He pulled out a small purple velvet box... "Will you marry me, Rarity Belle?" Rarity gazed at the ring presented before her. It a silver with a diamond. "Oh, Fancy Pants! Of course I'll marry you! You're generous, kind, handsome, and such a gentlecolt. Yes! I'll say 'yes!'" Rarity leaped to Fancy Pants and hugged him. Fancy Pants was a bit surprised, but returned the embrace. Applejack Applejack woke up at dawn (as usual) and made herself cinnamon pancakes topped with apple slices and some honey. A perfect breakfast for Apple family member (or just Applejack). She ate quietly. Then she got her gifts for her friends: a book on apples for Twilight, apple seeds for Fluttershy, rare pink candy apple seeds for Pinkie, a diamond apple for Rarity (not edible), and a few barrels full of Zap Apple Cider for Rainbow. (Apple-themed gifts. What a surprise.) As a gift to herself, Applejack relaxed the rest of the day. Rainbow Dash Rainbow woke up to find six barrels of Zap Apple Cider outside her door. Cider... CIDER!! Let's be honest, can I say anything else about Rainbow's Hearth's Warming?
Chapter 4: BedrestIt was June. Oh, no. IT'S BUCKING JUNE!!! Fluttershy would have to go on bedrest! Her animals would be alone with Discord practically the whole entire time! For the baby, Shy. For the baby. She rubbed her plump stomach. Her baby... She would see her baby in about a month. Fluttershy sighed as she remembered the recent events: Twilight's relationship with BlueBlood, Rarity's wedding with Fancy Pants, Rainbow's sudden relationship with Flash Sentry (and turned out they had been meeting secretly), Pinkie Pie and Spike dating, and Applejack and... Soarin? Fluttershy found that pair a little bit weird. VANILLA!!!! Oh, come on. You were doing so good! "Discord," Fluttershy called, "It's June!" Discord appeared in front of Fluttershy. He grabbed her and carried her gingerly upstairs. "Alright! To the bedroom," Discord shouted. "Don't worry, Shy-shy. I didn't forget about the bedrest." "O-oh! The baby kicked!" "Angel! Get the ice-cream!" The loyal rabbit hopped in, saluted, and hopped out. Discord was set her on the bed. "Alright. Fluttershy, you're goin' on bedrest for a month, as the doctor prescribed. Understood?" Fluttershy giggled at Discord's get-up. He was wearing a doctor's outfit and a plastic-mouth-mask. She nodded as she continued to giggle. She loved her 'chaotic' husband. "Thank you, Dissy. I glad you remembered." "Why would I forget?!" "'Cause you Dissy. And you're also my Dissy!" "Fair enough. Let's see... Here's a bottomless-metal bucket, a 'Think_It-Eat_it' cabinet, craving-pills, and your stomach-cramp pills. Is that everything, Shy-shy?" "I-I think so..." *kick, KICK* "Ow! Dissy?" "Yes?" "I think it's gonna be an earth pony with the strength of an Apple times ten." "Then we have a serious problem." Fluttershy giggled, and Discord began to chuckle. The couple stayed like that even when Angel came back with Fluttershy's favorite ice-cream. It had been two weeks, and Fluttershy was sick and tired of being on bedrest. As Discord would put it, it's "sooooo BOOOOORING!!!" Fluttershy sighed and continued her jig-saw puzzle. It was of two bunnies playing together. It was pretty cute, for sure! She was just bored to Tartarus. Fluttershy groaned. *kick, KI-* *BLEEEHH* Thank Dissy for bottomless buckets. She dragged her ice-cream across the bed next to her. It was her favorite: Petunia Petal Bliss, a mixture of, well... petunias, chocolate, and vanilla. Utter bliss to Fluttershy. She devoured the ice-cream whole-heartily. Utter, utter bliss... If the baby didn't like Petinia Petal Bliss, then Fluttershy didn't think the baby was hers. Joking! I'll always love my baby... she finished the tub of ice-cream; she gazed sadly into the empty tub. "ANGEEEEEEEEEEEELLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Angel, downstairs, fainted on the spot. Three weeks of boredom. Discord now didn't leave his plump wife's side. Her friends were getting worried. Fluttershy refused to eat anything but her Petunia Petal Bliss. If she did, she'd barf. It was getting worse. She began to twitch violently in her sleep with no nightmares. Twilight informed Luna about Fluttershy's nighttime, uh... conditions. When told Twilight Fluttershy wasn't even dreaming, Twilight panicked. She couldn't help her friend. To make matters worse, Fluttershy missed Twilight's proposal with BlueBlood. When Fluttershy learned she had slept through her friend's proposal, she immediately began bawling her eyes out. Now, it was three days until the baby's due date. What would happen? Fluttershy woke up in the middle of the night. She felt a warm liquid trickling on her back legs. Am I peeing?! She looked at Discord's automatic-changing calendar: June Seventh! Holy. BUCKING. Celestia. My water broke... "DISSSYY!!!!!!!!!" He appeared, disappeared with Fluttershy, and appeared in the hospital. "Her water broke! Get her in a room! NOW!!!!! Fluttershy was resting in a hospital room on one of their beds. Discord gazed through the door window. "Sir, we're going to have you to leave." Discord nodded and headed towards the lobby. He stayed there the rest of night, curled up on the small blue-green chairs. "You're gonna be fine, Shy-shy. You're gonna be fine," Discord whispered. "I love you..." And he fell asleep in the lobby.
Chapter 5: The Baby's Birthday"Ma'am," the doctor said, "I just need you to breath in the laughing-gas, okay? Your kid does not want to come out." Fluttershy shakily nodded. She felt plastic being put over her muzzle. The gas... made Fluttershy want to giggle, so she did. After a few minutes, she fell asleep from her giggle-fit, no longer knowing what the doctors were doing. "Okay, ponies! We need to perform an emergency birth." "Doc, are you sure we should?" "We're just gonna sow her womb up after anyways." "Alright." The doctors and nurses set to work. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Discord had woken up from a horrible dream showing... Fluttershy's body laid on the ground, unconscious. Discord dived down quickly. "Fluttershy..? Shy-shy, answer me! No... no, no, no," Discord whispered holding Fluttershy's body. She had no heartbeat. Her stomach was bloody, and near where her stomach was on the ground, was a blurry image the size... of a foal. Discord carefully picked up the blurry image. No heartbeat. Discord began to cry. The mirror appeared, and the draconequas looked at Discord and smirked, "See what happens when you don't control chaos? Chaos happens around you." "Leave me alone, you mother-bucker," Discord snarled. "You killed my wife and my baby... Haven't you caused enough damage!?" The mirror disappeared. The mirror draconequas' voice echoed throughout the landscape, "Chaos can never cause enough damage. Which is why you did this..." Discord was panting and sweating, sitting up on the hospital lobby chairs. He began shaking and sobbing. "Shy-shy... please be alright," he whispered. He fell asleep after maybe an hour. Tears covered the lobby chairs he was lying on. "Discord, lord of chaos," a nurse announced, "Mrs. Fluttershy is ready to see you. Please, follow me." The nurse trotted away with Discord in pursuit. The nurse went to the last door at the end of the hallway. "Fluttershy? Are you ready for a visitor?" "Yes, please," she heard Fluttershy whispered. The nurse nodded at Discord as she opened the door. Discord walked in and saw no baby. No cradle. "Shy-shy," Discord asked, "where's the baby?" Fluttershy smiled. "Dissy," Fluttershy responded, "you know the doctors take the baby at first." "Shy-shy, what's wrong?" She continued smiling gently. "Dissy?" "Yes..?" "I had twins..." Discord's jaw dropped to the floor. "Wh-what?" "One boy, on girl. Discord, aren't you happy?" "I-I don't know..." "Mrs. Fluttershy," asked a voice across the door, "may we come in?" "Yes, you may," Fluttershy said. A nurse came in pushing a wheeled-cradle holding two babies. One was wrapped in a blue blanket, the other wrapped in pink. The doctor stood in the doorway. "Would you like to hold them," asked the nurse, "Mrs. Fluttershy and Mr. Discord?" "Yes, please. Each respective gender," Fluttershy replied. The nurse nodded and picked up the baby boy. She nudged Discord. Discord looked at baby the nurse was holding, and he gingerly picked him up and cradled him. He was a creamy-coffee brown unicorn with a pink mane and his tail was peeking out the bottom of the blanket. His mane and tail had thin streaks of hot pink. He yawned revealing... tiny fangs?!!?? "Shy-shy-iiiiiiiiiiiii," Discord said with panick rising in his voice, but Fluttershy was busy with her other baby. She was a light, light, light yellow, almost white. Her hair was a dark brown with a fat, white streak. You couldn't see her tail peeking out of the blanket. But Fluttershy's favorite part were her baby's horns. One was a light blue antler, and the other was a brownish yellow goat horn. Fluttershy giggled. "Dissy," Fluttershy giggled, "Dissy, look at her horns!" Discord walked over and looked. He slapped his hand over his mouth, trying not to laugh and wake them. Her horns were the opposite of Discord's! "Mrs. Fluttershy," the doctor asked, "I have to ask you if you want to stay until tomorrow or for two more days?" "Tomorrow, please," Fluttershy replied. The doctor nodded. "See you tomorrow, Mrs. Fluttershy." He left, but he kept the door open for Discord. Discord looked at his wife. He put the baby in her other hoof. Then he leaned over, and they kissed. "Bye, Shy-shy. I love you..." :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: The next day, Discord came back to the hospital to pick up Fluttershy. Discord carried the baby boy, and Fluttershy carried the baby girl. For some reason, they were bawling their heads off. For the girl, quite literally. Her head was coming off. Discord and Fluttershy switched babies, since Discord had more experience with chaotic powers. They were still bawling. Finally, Discord put Fluttershy in a wheelchair, and he gave her the baby girl. Silence. "Well, now we know not to separate them," Discord joked. "Um, yeah," replied a very tired Fluttershy. She had been feeding all night. When one baby wasn't feeding, the other was. And the weird thing was, as soon as one stopped, the other was hungry. It was like they were on shifts or something. Suddenly, the girl began blubbering and whimpering, signaling that she was hungry again. Fluttershy sighed. "Disarray," Discord asked. Fluttershy nodded, "Disarray it is." Louder whimpers. "I know, I know..." :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: By the time they got to the cottage, Fluttershy had fed three times. Twice for Disarray, and once for the boy. He had opened his eyes for the first time. One was teal like his mother's eyes, but the other was only teal, no pupil. Discord had told Fluttershy about his fangs, so they had decided on "Teal Fang" for a name. So Teal Fang was chill in' out. They stopped at the bridge to see Swap running/waddling quickly with Mix-Up angrily chasing him. Just a normal day. "Dissy," Fluttershy whispered more quietly then usual, "we haven't seen Pinkie today." Discord nodded in understanding and left Fluttershy at the bridge, going to the door. He grabbed the doorknob and flung the door open while leaping to the side. "SURPRISE," yelled Pinkie as confetti flew out the door. She had a party-favor in her mouth and was wearing a party hat. "Where's Discord?" "Over here," Discord replied, waving his claw at everypony: Pinkie Pie, Spike, Rarity, Fancy Pants, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, BlueBlood, and Twilight Sparkle. "You had a unicorn," exclaimed Twilight, "Squee! I'll get to have a student!" Then she was lost in endless thought. BlueBlood put his hoof on her shoulder, bring her out of "The Twilight Zone." That's when Fluttershy noticed the platinum ring hanging around Twilight's neck by purple thread. It was had no specific design, and it had a amethyst with two small diamonds beside it. "Oh, Twilight," Fluttershy said, "it's beautiful... When's the wedding?" "Hopefully in two months," beamed Twilight. Then Disarray woke up, opening her eyes for the first time. They were normal pony eyes with a red pupil, but a yellow background. (I don't actually know what it is called. Or if it's the pupil or cornia.) A yellow and pink... creature that smelled like mommy was holding her. A similar creature that smelled like her brother was next to her. That's when Disarray noticed a strange (cozy) pink thing wrapped around her. She squirmed a bit in attempt to be released. Stupid thing! How dare it hold her, the daughter of chaos. Disarray paused. What's "chaos?" She continued her fight with the pink contraption. Disarray then began growling and ~~biting~~ teething on the contraption. Everypony laughed, giggled, or chuckled. "Fluttershy," Rarity giggled, "I think she wants to be let out." Harder laughter. Disarray continued her battle, now snarling. Stupid contraption! She would get out, no matter what! Disarray snarled again. She wish the contraption would disappear!! *ZA-PLING* Her blanket disappeared, revealing her body. (You already know her head.) Her body was brown like Discord's, but not as long as it would've been as a baby. She had a left yellow pegasus' wing and a right dragonfly's wing. She had a leapord's tail, a reptile's back right leg, a cow's back left leg, a fox's front right leg, and a pony's front left leg. She was a draconaquus. "Daddy's girl," Discord said. He crossed his arms proudly. Disarray then climbed up her mother, and she curled up on her mother's head. She yawned from being asleep so long and lazily sat there. Teal Fang, noticing his sister removing the cozy thing, wanted to as well. Suddenly, his horn lit up, and the blanket disappeared. He had a normal pony body. Oh, yeah. Except for his bat-wings! "Huh," Rainbow said, "you have an alicorn, Flutters!" Fluttershy just nodded. A bat alicorn. I wonder if he'll like apples... Then, the Royal Sisters dropped from the sky. "We sensed an ascension, yesterday," announced ~~Moon-Butt~~ Luna. Pinkie giggled at what Discord did to the story. "...but we now see the alicorn is in good hooves." "Um, sister," Celestia said, "you may want to look up." Luna looked up. Her eyes widen. "Y-you," Luna stuttered, "gave birth to a draconaquus?" Fluttershy meekly nodded. "Thank you, everypony," Discord said (like a TV announcer), "for meeting 'The Chaos Family!' Goodnight!" "Um, Dissy," Fluttershy said, "it's the afternoon." "Goodbye," Discord corrected. And remember to leave a comment on how awesome I am! Great!! Now I have to worry about Pinkie Pie and Discord breaking the forth wall!!?! Author's Note Hope you enjoy the kids!!
Picture Yay! Now, anybrony can look at the chaotic angels or bundles of chaos. Um, let's see... Do I need to ~~say~~ type anything else... How about how awesome I am? Since you know, I'm the best god in Equestria. Moon-Butt and Sun-Butt aren't. ... Really? Discord, I know you're awsome and all, but please stop interrupting me. Okay? *grumble* Fine... Ahem, um... So, this was for Derpinat0r. Well, type 'ya later! Author's Note You're all welcome! I didn't type this in the comments since (maybe) a lot of bronies will say "d'aww" or "thank you!" Enjoy!
