The Magic Within
Chapter 3: Experiencing Pregnancy
Previous ChapterNext ChapterMORNING SICKNESS:
Clark awoke to a lovely morning, the birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and... Mirage was... nowhere to be... seen... "Mirage? Where are you?" Clark asked. Recently Clark was a female and Illusion was a male, but Illusion switched their genders to protect Claire (Clark). Now Mirage is with foals. (Read the previous chapters to understand). Clark got his answer not a moment later, when a noise came from the bathroom.
"HUUURRRG!!" Clark heard chunks hitting water from inside the bathroom. A few minutes later, looking awful, Mirage walked out. Clark simply smirked with a cocky look on his face. "What's so funny?" Mirage asked.
"Enjoying your morning sickness sweetie?" Clark asked sarcastically.
"WHY ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF ME?!" Mirage shouted. "You have no idea how this feels!" Immediately after saying this Mirage clamped her hoof and paw over her mouth and looked at Clark who's cocky smile had turned into death stare.
"I actually have a pretty good idea on how that feels thank you very much!" Clark shouted back. He looked over to Mirage to see a guilty look on her face.
"Sorry." Was all she could say before rushing to the bathroom to throw up some more. She walked out looking even gloomier. "How long does this last?" She moaned as she flopped on the bed.
"From what I recall... 3-4 months, depends." Clark answered, shrugging his shoulders.
"UGH... Why?" Mirage questioned lifting her head.
"Well, from what I've heard, one of the main causes is because of the changes that are happening inside you. Others are hormones or you just have a sensitive stomach." Clark replied. "And in my opinion you DO have a sensitive stomach."
"DO NOT!"
"You barfed after I force fed you my food cravings when I was pregnant! You were all like, BLAGH!"
"Ha, ha, very funny."
"Wait here, from my experience nothing helps morning sickness more than hot soup." Clark said as he walked out of the room. As he turned the corner, he almost ran into Discord. "Oh, sorry."
"Not at all a problem." Discord replied, "Where are you off to? And without Mirage?" He asked while looking over Clark's shoulder.
"Oh she's in the room, I told her to wait, I'm just getting some soup. It helps the morning sickness." Clark answered.
"Really? You should ask Tia for advice. I know you've experienced pregnancy, but maybe you should get some advice from other mares." Discord suggested.
"Not a bad idea, I'll have to tell Mirage if I'm going to do that. But right now I need to get some soup." Clark said as he went around Discord and started to walk off. As Clark walked back to the room, she started to slow down. "I know I threw up when I was pregnant, but, not as much as Mirage." Clark said to herself. "I wonder why..." Clark entered the room to see Celestia inside.
"Hello Clark." She said gently. She was sitting next to Mirage who was on the floor.
"Hi," Clark responded, "Um, Celestia? Discord suggested I get some advice from you for pregnancy. Even though it's Mirage who's having the foal. What do you suggest she do for morning sickness?"
"Well, I'd have some soup, like you, and I'd try to sleep, and try not over work yourself."
"Trying to fall asleep is hard when you feel like barfing..." Mirage complained as she took small spoonfuls of the soup.
"Don't worry, you'll make it." Celestia replied with a loving smile.
MOOD SWINGS:
PICKY: "I am not eating this." Mirage complained as she pushed the plate away from her. "It's so gross, can't I have something else, I mean, are you trying to starve me?"
"Mood swings," Clark whispered to himself, "being picky is the worse in my opinion."
SAD: "Look at meeeeee!" Mirage cried, "I'm fat!"
*Donk* *donk* (Clark's head hitting the wall)
MAD/ANNOYED: "STOP HITTING YOU HEAD AGAINST THE WALL!!"
"... meh ..."
"EXCUSE ME?!"
FOOD CRAVINGS:
Clark looked at the plate, grossed out, but not surprised. "Food cravings..." He said as he walked down the hall and into his room, "I can't even tell what it is... I'm back!"
"Great I'm starving!" Mirage said, putting her book on pregnancy down.
"Sooo, what did you order? I'm not surprised, I just can't tell what it is... Or what's in it."
"Oh, just a mix of hay, carrots, cucumber, grilled zucchini, raw fish, and some ice cream," Mirage replied, "topped with chocolate, caramel, popcorn, cookie crumbs, and frosting."
"I see..." Clark watched Mirage eat with a slight look of disgust on his face.
"You're not grossed out at all." Mirage noted.
"Well, I have done this..." Clark replied, the look of disgust turned to a cocky smile. "Which reminds me... Remember the time where I force fed-"
"Say it and I'll force feed you mine." Mirage shot back, while holding a piece of her food in front of Clark.
"Alright, alright."
STOMACH GROWTH:
BEGINNING: "GAH! I'm getting so fat!" Mirage complained.
"You're only at three months..." Clark replied.
"Yeah, and look at me!"
"... You're being over dramatic ..."
"AM NOT!"
MIDDLE:
"Okay, now, I am fat."
"Maybe a little." Clark teased.
"Hheeyy!"
"Pffftt HA HA!"
"Oh shut up!"
END(ish):
"... Do I need to say it?"
"Yeah, you ARE fat." Clark said while reading a book.
"Hey!"
"What? You were going to say it anyway!"
"Doesn't give you the right to!"
"Says who?"
"ME!"
"So, how is it?" Clark asked.
"How's what" Mirage replied
"Is it easy?"
"WHAT?!"
"Pregnancy, having foals, the works." He answered.
"Alright, so it's not easy."
"You're not even at the hardest part."
"I'm not?"
"Nope, the hardest part is giving birth." Clark said, looking up from his book.
Author's Note
I'm not an expert on pregnancy so I might get some things wrong here and there or make some stuff up... I'm a loser... Also, can someone plz help me figure out these formatting controls they're really hard to work... So if you'r thinking, why doesn't she do this or this instead of that? BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW!
I did the three main side effects/only side effects I know of, of pregnancy. I just did the mood swings I thought were the most important to point out. I also thought
I got the idea of triplets from kilala97, here's a link of what they'd look like, probably diff colors, and don't forget to read the stuff below, The triplets
