"Again?" Fluttershy exclaimed, "This is the fifth time this animal won't listen to me!" The Bear-Bee flung it's vicious paws in the air; it's claws inches from Rainbow Dash's chest.
"That thing almost killed me!" Dash yelled, "Fluttershy, do your stare!"
"I can't! It won't stay still!" Fluttershy replied. Rarity, sitting on the Hay Cafe outside tables, looked over the chaotic scene. Rarity was pregnant with her first foal, eight months, and she won't risk hurting the baby.
"Doing great darlings!" Rarity cheered while chomping on a chocolate fudge cake.
"Won't you help us?" Rainbow asked. "It's bad enough AJ isn't here to lasso the thing! Can you use your magic?" Rarity rolled her crystal blue eyes.
"Dear, apparently you do not see I am pregnant," Rarity stated. Rainbow Dash rolled her dark pink eyes.
"Gee, thanks Captain Obvious," Rainbow snarled. Rarity took another mouthful of a bite.
"Why can't Twilight use her magic?" Rarity asked, her mouth half-full.
"Well, if you haven't noticed, she has a ten month old filly on her back, and she's doing all she can!" Rainbow exclaimed.
"Rarity, please, we need more magic!" Twilight yelled. Rarity rolled her eyes once more, got out of her seat, and went closer.
"I do hope my water does not break," Rarity stated. Her blue magic shot out of her horn. Her magic and Twi's magic mixed, and the Bear-Bee finally stood still.
"Fluttershy, do the stare!" Twi demanded.
Oh, sweet Celestia, I hope this works, Fluttershy thought. She shot her aqua eyes straight into the Bee-Bear's and...
...it failed.
"W-what? It DIDN'T WORK!!??" Fluttershy exclaimed.
"What the buck!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. The Bear-Bee kept swinging its paws back and forth, each sharp claw almost killing one pony or another.
"Mommy!" A high-pitched screech came. A galloping little filly, barely two, came up to Twilight.
"Blue, Mommy's busy!" Twi replied. Blue Harmony, Twilight's child, ignored her mother's comment.
"Daddy told me monsters are in my closet," Blue pointed over to Vladimir Blueblood, Twilight's husband.
"V!" Twi scolded, "I told you I had to save Ponyville so you would have to watch Bluey! Not scare her to death!"
Vladimir came closer.
"Well, in my defense we were watching Monsters Inc, and I told Bluey that a monsters in her closet," Vladimir stated.
"That's a pity defense, V," Twi said. Vladimir held his hoof up to protest.
"I told her that it would be a nice monster like Mike or Sully..." Vladimir stated.
"Still traumatic," Twilight argued. The Bear-Bee, still fighting RD, Pinkie, and Fluttershy wasn't interested in Twi's argument with her husband. It flinged it's huge arm and hit Fluttershy's right back leg.
"Ouch!" Fluttershy squeaked, and she fluttered down to the ground. "I-I think I broke my leg!" Rarity galloped over to the poor pegasus.
"Oh, darling, are you alright?" Rarity asked. Fluttershy, tears running down her face, shook her head.
"Twi! Quick! Transport it back to it's cave!" RD yelled. Twi turned from confronting her husband to the sight that bestowed her.
"Yes, yes, okay, Rainbow!" Twi shot her magic in the Bear-Bee's direction and with a big white flash, the Bear-Bee disappeared. The whole trio gasped and breathed heavily. Twilight flew down to her husband and gave him a kiss.
"Sorry V," Twi said softly, "I just really don't like it when you act like you're still a colt."
"Hey, I've only been a father for two years, I'm still learning," Vladimir protested. Twi chuckled and gave him another kiss.
"Um, excuse me?! I have a broken leg here!" Fluttershy exclaimed. Twi gasped.
"Oh my gosh, Flutters! I didn't even see it hit you! Are you alright?" Twi said.
"I'm not 100% alright but the pain is really strong," Fluttershy replied, "Plus, I've had two pregnancies and two long, three-day-labors. This pain is nothing to giving birth."
"I'm sure you're right," Twi laughed. "But, seriously, I'll get you a bandage." With a poof of her magic a light brown roll of bandage wrap popped in the sky. Using her magic, Twi wrapped it up Fluttershy's leg.
"Thanks Twi," Fluttershy said, "How long do I have to wear this?"
"For a month," Twi responded. "And I think it would be best if you fly home and rest. Let Granny Smith care on the foals, okay?" Fluttershy gulped. If my foals are in one piece when I get home! Fluttershy thought. And she flew off to Sweet Apple Acres, her home.
Hurt, hurt, pain, pain Fluttershy thought. She flew steadily home. She looked and in the distances saw Sweet Apple Acres. Home. A home Big Mac and AJ grew up in. A home where Fluttershy had her foals. A home where Great-Granny Smith was still alive.
Great-Granny Smith! Fluttershy gasped in horror. The barn isn't on fire, good sign. The children don't have missing posters around town, another good sign... Fluttershy turned around and saw her two foals playing in the mud. My children are playing with pigs. Great.
"Mommy!" The kids cried. Fluttershy floated gently to the ground.
"Oh, dear, Rosey!" Fluttershy exclaimed. Her five-year-old had mud and garbage in her beautiful pink beach wave of a mane. Her red coat now a dark brown.
"Mommy! I'm princess Mud Pie! Princess of Mud!" Rosey said, plopping a good dose of more mud on her beautiful mane.
"Oh, Rosey! Your mane!" Fluttershy cried.
"I king Garbage of Garbageville!" Johnny Appleseed said, plucking garbage on his head.
Fluttershy nearly fainted at the sight of her two kids.
"I told the youngins that they could start a playing' with the mud, " Great-Granny Smith said. Fluttershy turned around, the biggest fake smile plastered on her face.
"Wow! Um, it's six o'clock, I think it's bath time!" Fluttershy stated. The filly and colt bowed their heads.
Johnny, who was only three, flopped to the ground.
"I don't wanna take a bath! I don't wanna take a bath!" Johnny screamed. Fluttershy flinched and then got more assertive.
"Johnny Appleseed, you are taking a bath this instant!" Fluttershy demanded. Rosey chuckled when she saw her brother being dragged to the barn for a bath.
"And you don't start getting ideas, missy! You're taking a bath with your brother whether you like it or not!" Fluttershy snapped. Rosey grumbled and fallowed her mother into the barn.
"And what would your father say about your bad attitudes?" Fluttershy said, slowly shaking her head back and forth.
"He'd say this!" Rosey laughed, making a bubble horse collar, "I'm Big Macintosh. I have two fillies. Oh, look! Their playing in the mud! I'm gonna go over their and jump in with 'em! Canon-ball!"
Johnny Appleseed and Rosey broke out in laughter, while Fluttershy just watched. Not amused.
"What would Auntie AJ say?" Fluttershy demanded.
` " I got this!" Johnny Appleseed declared, "I'm Auntie AJ! I live in the barn with my husband and my two little fillies! Oh, look! Granny Smith? Does Fluttershy know about this?"
"I'll act," Fluttershy said, a smile growing on her face, "No, Applejack but that's OK. And then FLuttershy came and saw her fillies in the mud. And she was very, very, very mad! So she gave them a bath, and sent them to bed to have supper in their room. The end!"
The two foals stared at each other, wide eyed expressions on their faces.
"We're going to bed early?" Johnny said, his words had a whimper behind them.
"Yes," Fluttershy said, "Now get out of the bathtub so I can dry you off." The two foals slowly stepped out of the bathtub, bubbles floating everywhere.
"We're sorry," the two said. Fluttershy couldn't help but smile on the two's sympathetic looks.
"All is forgiven. But next time Great-Granny Smith tells you to go in mud, tell her not on a school night," Fluttershy smiled. Rosey and Johnny ran to their room, talking about Auntie Apple Bloom. Apple Bloom was due to have her first child with Snails next week, which she would call Apple Crisp.
Fluttershy walked downstairs to find Granny Smith asleep on her rocking chair. Good.
She went into the kitchen and get herself a bar of chocolate. But, she was on a diet. And she had a strong craving for chocolate all of a sudden.
That's wierd, Flutters thought. Then it hit her. I"m feeling the same craving I had when I was pregnant... She quickly galloped to the bathroom and checked her pregnancy tester.
Positive.
The last time I had sex with Big Mac was... Fluttershy thought, two weeks ago. On our anniversary. And we where really drunk. Wow. Great. Neat. Flutters face-hoofed herself for forgetting to take her birth control meds. Then it hit her. She was carrying her third child. Joy filled up the hole of self-pitty in her. It was time to PARTY! It was eight o'clock at night. Maybe partying would start tomorrow.
Of course the children can't keep secrets. Fluttershy thought, They are absolutely terrible at keeping secrets. The whole schoolhouse- and half of Ponyville- would know about my pregnancy before wednesday.
As she was watching Real Housewives of Canterlot, she fell asleep.
...
"I saw it. Fluttershy, I saw it," a creepy, old familiar voice echoed in her mind. "I saw it." She woke up. Granny Smith was leaning over the sofa with a crooked expression on her face.
"AAAAAaaaaahhhhHHHHH!" Fluttershy screamed. Granny Smith shushed her.
"I saw ur pregnancy test, darlin'. I'm so excited!" Granny exclaimed.
"What time is it?" Fluttershy asked.
"Three in the morning!" Granny exclaimed in her cracking voice. Fluttershy flinched at the horrible sound.
"Ugh, why so early?" Fluttershy asked.
"Well I went to go pee and I saw the pregnancy test and it said POSITIVE! Congrats!" Granny said, shaking her head vigorously. Fluttershy's head bobbed up and down until Granny was finished.
"Yes. Thank you. Can I go back to sleep?" Fluttershy stated.
"Back to sleep? Back to sleep? BACK TO SLEEP?" Granny said, a shocked expression on her face.
It's as if she was told she's allergic to apples, Fluttershy thought.
"Yes, I'm pregnant and have hormones and am very, very, very, tired! Please, Granny, may I sleep?" Fluttershy asked.
"No way, jose!" Granny screamed. Then, a tall dark figure came next to the door. Applejack?
