Chapter 8: What's Wrong?

It had been a good few days.

Okay I'm lying.

It had been terrible for a certain cyan pegasus mare.

Moving on!

Rainbow Dash was still feeling a little stressed about the wedding, and her family, but Soarin was trying his very hardest to comfort her when things got a little too rough. But sometimes, it was proven impossible.

"Dashie? Are you coming down for some breakfast?" He asked her one morning, peeking his head into their room. Dash was curled up on the bed, with her eyes closed. She cautiously looked up, and shook her head.

"You go on without me. I think I'm going to skip today." She said, before returning to her original position, moaning slightly. Soarin frowned, and trotted up to the bed, placing a hoof on her forehead.

"Rainbow Dash... I'm worried about you. You haven't eaten in two days! Are you sure you're alright?" He asked her. Dash opened her eyes again, and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm... Fine... Please Soarin. I just really want to be alone for a little bit." She said, pulling away from his reach. Soarin's eyebrows flattened, as he stared upon his clearly distraught wife.

"Dashie... Please eat som-"

"I said I'm FINE!" She yelled out suddenly. Soarin took a few steps back, clearly not expecting this. "Now GO AWAY!"

Soarin hung his head, and slowly trotted out of the room. "Alright fine. If you need anything, let me know" He said. Dash moaned in answer, and closed her eyes again, grumbling to herself.

As soon as she knew Soarin was downstairs, she let it all out.

"Stupid mood swings..." She mumbled, rolling over onto her belly.

"Stupid pregnancy..."

Alas, it was true. Rainbow Dash had discovered only yesterday that she was in fact pregnant with her husband's foal.

"How the hay am I supposed to tell this to Soarin?" She asked herself, hiding her face in her hooves. "And after I yelled at him... I really doubt he'd want to talk to me. Who'd want to talk to me of all ponies?" She said, letting a few tears escape.

Like magic, there was a knock on the door, resulting in the baby blue stallion trotting inside the room, with a plate full of food held in his teeth.

"Okay, I don't care what you say. You are eating this. Even if I have to force it down your mouth." Soarin said, sitting down besides the mare on the bed. She rolled onto her back, and looked up at him.

"What? But I told you! I'm NOT hungry!" She said, pushing the plate away. Soarin frowned, and picked up the bowl of oats.

"Open up," he said. Dash crossed her hooves, and held her head high.

"Nuh uh!" she exclaimed, avoiding the food. Soarin just smirked, and quickly put the bowl up to her lips.

"HEY-" Dash started, but the second she opened her mouth, in came the oats. She frowned, and grumpily swallowed the breakfast, not being able to resist the tempting smile that crept onto her face. Soarin grinned.

"There's the sugar!" He exclaimed, giving the bowl to his wife, who happily munched on the oats.

"Oh gosh I needed that..." She said, wiping her mouth. Soarin smiled.

"Glad I could make you feel better." He said simply. Dash then suddenly frowned.

"What? You didn't even do ANYTHING! It was all the oats! So stop being a liar and telling me all these LIES! LIAR!" She yelled, before bursting into tears. Soarin's eyes widened, as he looked upon the weeping mare with concern.

"Dashie... Something's wrong. What happened?" He asked her worriedly. Dash grumbled.

"NOTHING is wrong." She insisted. Soarin frowned.

"Rainbow Dash... Tell me what's wrong. Or am I going to have to call in my private investigator Eclipse?" He asked her teasingly. Dash instantly looked up.

"You have a private investigator?" She asked him in disbelief. Soarin nodded.

"He works in Canterlot. But do I really have to call him to know that something's wrong? Come on, babe. You can tell me anything." He said softly to her. Dash hung her head low.

"I can't tell you..." She said quietly. Soarin was shocked. What could be so bad that his little Dashie couldn't tell him?

"Sweetheart... You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. But I really thought this was a no-secret relationship. I thought we didn't hide things from each other..." He said. Dash's head snapped up, and her eyes widened.

"What? Of course we don't have secrets from each other!" She said quickly. Soarin then got up from the bed.

"Yeah well, you're not really living up to that right now!" He said, raising his voice slightly. Dash's bottom lip quivered. Soarin tried to stay put, but he was really getting on verge right now. "When you're ready to tell me what's going on, come downstairs." He mumbled, turning to walk out of the room.

"Wait..." He heard a soft cry from the bed. Soarin's eyes widened, as he turned his head around, still keeping the rest of his body in place. He saw Dash with teary eyes, and he quickly faced her completely.

"I can't tell you... Because... I'm afraid..." She said quietly. Soarin walked back over to her.

"Afraid of what?" He asked. Dash looked away for a second, before getting out of the bed, and standing in front of him.

"Afraid that you'll leave me..." She said softly. Soarin let out a soft gasp, before scooping her up in his hooves.

"Oh sweetie... I made a promise to always be by your side. And I'm not going to be breaking it." He said, as she nestled herself into his chest. "Now... No more secrets. Tell me what's going on."

Dash's throat hitched up, as she stared up into his loving eyes. The eyes she had fallen for so long ago.

"I'm... I'm pregnant."

Soarin let go of his hold on the mare, and leaned back a little.

"W-W-What?" He stammered. Dash hung her head, and nodded.

"You mean... I'm going to be a daddy?" He asked for clarification. Dash looked up to him, and nodded. Soarin suddenly broke into a huge grin.

"Dashie... THAT'S AMAZING!" He yelled, picking up the mare, and spinning her around. Dash's eyes widened as she was in mid air, and she instantly started to smile.

"HAHA I LOVE YOU RAINBOW DASH!" He yelled out. Dash couldn't take it any longer. She grabbed Soarin's face, and pulled him in for a long lasting kiss.

Soarin instantly closed his eyes, and returned it with just as much passion as she was showing. He wrapped his hooves around her, and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss.

A few minutes later, they pulled away, and stared into each other's eyes. Soarin smiled.

"You're going to be the best mommy ever." He said happily, bumping foreheads with his wife. Dash smiled.

"And you're going to be the best daddy ever." She said simply. Soarin chuckled. Dash sighed.

"You're in for a long ride. I can be one moody pegasus." She said. Soarin nodded seriously.

"Oh I've noticed." He said. Dash playfully glared up at him.

"HEY!"
