Ms. Ruby Trotter's POV

Sapphire’s Maternal Suit: 8

.

Once I had seen Sapphire moving down the stairs, I knew what that melon had been for. On that note, I had provided her with the vehicle in the first place.

The treat was bucking the door wide open for her, and Sapphire had been the first through. I don’t resent it; as a matter of fact, I am proud of her and happy for her in the pursuit.

When she helped me with the suit, she were free to extract as much of the gel as she could possibly use. Of course I had enjoyed every instant of it. Not just in reliving the excitement. I had enjoyed everything she did with and for me, even after she had slipped the hood over my head. The hood did not remove my sensitivity or made me incapable to enjoy what I feel.

.

Naturally, she had confirmed what we already knew as she sat down by the table and enjoyed the breakfast we had prepared for her. As if it had not been natural for us to prepare the breakfast for her in the first place. If I am first in the kitchen, I prepare the breakfast for us. The fact that she is pregnant would change nothing.

I still did know of the pregnancy, so I prepared the breakfast accordingly. She will require an extended diet, due to the state of maternity, just as much as she needs to have her wardrobe extended for her to have suits to wear in public. She can’t wear her regular wear while she is pregnant with the enlarged belly of hers.

Since I am the one promising her, I am the mare to carry out the errand. I like to help her in the end. Now I trot off to Rarity. It isn’t all that for, but the distance isn’t the issue in the first place. It is all about helping my sister out. Why is there anything more to it?

.

After a few minutes of trotting along the streets, I was spotting the carousel. I slowly down as I approach the boutique in order to collect my thoughts and make a dignified entrance into her presence in a measured gait. With that, I walk up to the door slowly and give it a firm knock, knock.

“Enter!” Rarity exclaimed in her enthusiastic and inviting manner.

“Good morning, Rarity!” I greeted her as I entered the room, accompanied by the merry chimes from her doorbells.

“Good morning, dear Ruby. I take it you need a new suit!” she responded merrily with a warm and inviting smile on her face.

“As a matter of fact, yes. Or rather, three suits and a Kimono. My sister Sapphire is pregnant!” I responded.

“In that case, would you be kind enough to convey my sincerest Congratulations and let her know that I will finish her suits first thing. I would need an hour, in order to maintain the level of quality and style!” she responded.

“She would like the suits in Sapphire blue, and the Kimono with a traditional Cherry pattern, with the trees in full bloom, if it isn’t too much of a problem. On the note, her belly is this large!” I explained, using my right hand in demonstrating her belly bulging generously.

“A Sapphire blue silken suit is easy, and making three is just taking thrice as long to make. The traditional cherry pattern in bloom? I should have something on the theme. I have the old pattern for her suit, top, skirt and panties, now I just need to adjust the suit for her pregnancy!” she pointed out.

I walked to the shelf with the traditional patters, where I found what I had in mind on the second shelf.

“This looks adorable, I am certain Sapphire will love the Kimono if you use this!” I prompted, pointing at the spool I had in mind.

“Excellent choice!” she exclaimed.

“I will be back in time to pick them up. I should be back before lunch!” I added.

“That leaves me with more than enough time to complete your order. I will see you by then, Ruby!” she prompted as I walked back to the door.

“Bye, and see you by lunch!” I responded.

“Bye, and welcome back!” she exclaimed before the door closed behind me.

.

I trotted back along the road, following the streets on my way home. With the good news, I could afford a steady trot. There is no use to chance an incident on the way home, she could wait a few more minutes.

Slowing down, as I set eyes on our home and slowing down steadily as I approach the cottage. As I reach the border of the yard I walk slowly, just stopping at the door. I open the door, enter and close the door behind myself.

.

“Back from Rarity at the Carousel Boutique, I take it!” Sapphire exclaimed, where she is sitting by the table as I closed the door behind myself.

“Yes, I did. She is sending her Congratulations on your pregnancy, Sapphire. I think you will enjoy the pattern of your new maternal Kimono too. She is working on improving your wardrobe right now. I will see her before lunch in order to pick them up for you!” I responded with a jovial grin on my face.

“Then you need to thank her from me, when you are back and picking them up for me. She is the best in the field, and that isn’t just because she doesn’t have any local competition in Keldaripolis. The quality alone is outstanding, and her sensibilities certainly do serve her business perfectly!” she responded.

“Yes, I will convey your gratitude to her when I pick up the suits for you. Then you can wear one by lunchtime. Maybe we should have the lunch together in town!” I suggested.

“Thank you, dear Sister. I will try them on as you drop them off on the table. If I have something I can wear in public, I would love to have lunch with you at a restaurant or café!” she responded.

“I am sure Emerald would love follow us out for lunch too!” I pointed out.

“Yeah, she sure would!” Sapphire confirmed.

.

Lunch is from eleven o’clock to two in the afternoon. I went out just after I noticed that the clock had hit eleven. As I trotted the same way to the centre and Rarity at the Carousel Boutique, I will be there just in time.

.

“Greetings, Rarity. Thank you for all the work you put into the suits. On that note, she is appreciating your sentiments and congratulations!” I pointed out as I greeted her.

Then I walked up to the package with Sapphire’s suits. I opened it, just to have a first look. Once I had gone over the note on the top of the package, I slipped the bits as payment on her table.

“Always nice to see you, Ruby. Besides, I love doing business with you and your sisters any day of the week. Welcome back, whenever you feel like coming over or need a suit!” Rarity responded as I was carrying the neatly folded package towards the door.

“I love coming over, Rarity. Likewise. I would have gone to you, Rarity, even if there was another establishment in town. I wouldn’t even go anywhere else in search for my suits, knowing you are making them to measure for me. I always recommend you if any Pony needs something to wear too!” I prompted.

.

“Thanks again, and I will see you soon!” I added, as I excited her boutique.

From there I carefully trotted all the way home without stopping anywhere, even if I waved a hand at Pinkie Pie, once I had seen her. I couldn’t ignore her for anything in the world, including a decree from Princess Celestia herself. Pinkie Pie just isn’t the mare you ignore. Simple as that.

.

When I reached the point where I could see our home, I can see that the door is open and that Sapphire stands just behind Emerald. I slow down slowly and walk down the short path from the road to the door.

“Just on time, Ruby!” Emerald exclaimed as I came within earshot.

“Hiya, Emerald and Sapphire!” I responded with the package over my chest as I walked up to the door.

“Hiya, Ruby. You managed to pick up the suit as you promised from Rarity?” Sapphire greeted me eagerly.

“Rarity lived up to her promise. So, of course I have brought your suit home with me. I think you should be most please too, sister!” I responded as I followed her up the flight of stairs towards her room.

She opened the door for me and permitted me to place the suits on her bed. Then I left her room and closed the door after myself.

Once I had delivered the package to my expectant sister Sapphire, I walked down and sat down on a chair in the kitchen. As I came out of the room, Emerald already is sitting on the other chair.

“I am so excited about going out. Just having a lunch together is very special to me!” Emerald exclaimed as I sat down.

“I love treating you to something special every now and then. The lunch together is just the thing. Just the three of us by a table, with another Pony looking out for us and serving us!” I prompted.

"You have filled your quota of treats for a while. I don’t say that I will even consider refusing a lunch, when you are in the mood. Yet, I think it is my turn soon!” Emerald responded.

“I will enjoy the treat, what ever you offer. I am not the Pony to deny anyone the pleasure to treat me!” I exclaimed.

“Here I am. This Kimono certainly is something special. I love the pattern!” Sapphire exclaimed excitedly as she floated down the flight of stairs in her new slow gait.

“Take your time, we will enjoy every moment at the restaurant!” Emerald responded as she saw Sapphire on her way down as she wore the silken Kimono.

“The only thing I can claim to regret is that I did not pick up one for myself and you, Emerald!” I teased.

“The trees are exquisite in full bloom. I can see why you would love having one just like it, Ruby!” Emerald added jovially with a grin on her face.
