We all have that moment in life. That moment when you are overjoyed, but then get scared? Well a young married couple had that day some days ago. And now they have an adventure to face, together. But after all the pain, there is always a reward at the end.
" OMC! Mothy I can't believe I'm pregnant!" Screwball said jumping up and down in front of the mirror.
" Yeah, me neither. But stop jumping." Mothball said walking by her side and wrapping his wing around her. Screwball rolled her eyes and then led them to the mirror. She pushed away Mothball, and moved to the side. She looked at her belly, and started moving around... sort of like Pinkie Pie.
" Do I have baby belly already? Do I? Do I? DO I?" She said grabbing Mothball by the shoulders and shaking him.
" Relax Screwy, you haven't." Mothball said getting her hooves off him.
"Aww."
" What do you think it would be?" Screwball said, calming down and laying down on her bed. Mothball chuckled as he laid down by her side.
" I don't know. But I sure want it to be a filly." Mothball said wrapping his hooves around her and pulling her closer. Screwball smiled and put her hoof on top of her husband's hoof.
" And I want it to be a colt." She said closing her eyes. Mothball gave his wife a little kiss on the cheek.
" It doesn't matter what it is, I will still love the foal." He whispered in her ear. She smiled.
" What is it going to look like? I mean I have draconequus blood... and you are a changeling." Screwball said with a bit of worried in her tone. Mothball thought for a minute.
" Does it really matter?" He said then stroking her mane. Screwball who was enjoying the affection, sighed.
" Not really. But I don't want the foal to be bullied. Take me for example, I was bullied only for my eyes." She said lowering her ears, but still letting her husband do the affections. Mothball chuckled quietly but didn't answer.
" What about we call it a night? You are sleeping for two after all." He said putting the bed sheets on top of them.
" Isn't it supposed to be eating for two? " Screwball said chuckling. Mothball chuckled again.
" Besides, it's just nine at night." Screwball said turning to her husband. her head was now on his chest. Mothball hugged her tight.
" Still."
" Night Mothy."
"Night Screwy.
And they were both peacefully sleeping.
Wake up..
" Hmmmm.."
Wake up....
" M-hmmm"
MOTHBALL WAKE UP!"
"Gah!!" Mothball stood up in the bed with his eyes opened after his wife screamed in his ear.
" What happened?" He said rubbing his eyes. Screwball just shrugged.
" Dunno. I was feeling lonely." She said with an innocent smile. Mothball groaned as he laid down again and put a pillow on his face. Screwball giggled and laid by his side. She hugged him and moved a little bit the pillow so she could see his mouth.
" Well.... I was thinking. Maybe you and I could go for some weeks to Crystal Empire.. after all, Heart's Warming Eve is in three days and I was thinking on doing something only you and I." She said snuggling close to him and putting her head on his chest. Mothball smiled.
" Oh well okay." He said removing his pillow and giving her a light kiss. She smiled and sighed.
" Thanks." She whispered. Some minutes later they were both heading downstairs. Screwball walked to the stove and thought for a second. She was about to poof something but something stopped her. In front of her something appeared. It was her father.
"Gah!" She shouted giving a tiny jump. Mothball looked at them and walked by his wife.
" Good morning sweetheart, good morning Mothball." Discord said politely.
" Good morning sir Discord." Mothball said with a smile.
" Morning daddy!" Screwball said hugging her dad.
" Why are you here?" Mothball asked with a confused tone.
" Oh, well Screwy, if your going to be a mother, you need to learn how to cook!" Discord said with a smile.
" Isn't mom supposed to be the one that teaches me?" She said raising an eyebrow.
" Probably. But I have seen her and I have learned! Watch." He said appearing a frying pan on the stove. He then appeared an egg on the counter. After grabbing the egg he frowned.
"I-I.."He said.
" Let me guess, you don't remember anything?" Screwball said rolling her eyes. Discord smiled awkwardly.
" O-Of course I remember! You just-" He said taking the egg and putting it on the stove. He turned it to medium. He then took the frying pan.
" Isn't the egg supposed to be in the frying pan?" Screwball said frowning.
" No!" Discord said with a smile. He then took the frying pan and smashed the egg with it. Mothball and Screwball gasped at the same time as Discord took a spoon and put the broken egg in the frying pan. He then served the raw, still with the shells and then gave it to Screwball.
" I'm pretty sure, that's not how you do it." Screwball said looking at the egg. Discord gave her a frown but then sighed in defeat. He clicked his fingers making a yellow pegasus appear by his side.
" Discord? I was trying to make Zany eat his food!" She said clearly annoyed.
" Yeah, yeah, I will deal with that. But teach Screwy how to cook. BYE!" He said before disappearing out of the kitchen. Fluttershy sighed and looked at her daughter.
" Okay, I'm going to cook you two breakfast, you watch Screwy." Flutter said walking to the stove.
" That was sooo gooooood!" Screwball said and made a long sigh. Mothball chuckled.
" I know, your mother is a really great cook!" Mothball said happily. Screwball nodded and taking a bite of her food.
" I have to try that recipe someday." Screwball said. Mothball just smiled.
Knock Knock
" Who can that be?" Mothball asked. Screwball stood up and went to the door. She opened it and standing there was a little purple-grey filly. Dinky smiled. She had a card in her mouth. She gave it to her bestfriend.
" Morning Screwy, how's the pregnancy going?" Dinky said with a smile.
" It's going great Dinky! Although I'm only 1 month." Screwball said with another smile.
" What's this?"
" It's the invitation for my wedding, remember when Cinnamon Stick proposed to me?" Dinky said with dreamy eyes.
" How could I forget? I had to sing while he took an hour to propose!" Screwball said giving the invitation to her husband, who walked by her side.
" He only took a few minutes." Mothball said before directing his eyes to the card.
" Well, it sure felt like an hour."
" I hope you can make it. And I know we are giving the invitations early, since it's in six months." Dinky said then rolling her eyes.
" Oh don't worry! It's always nice to give the invitations early!" Screwball said with a smile. Dinky nodded.
"Well I'm going to leave you two alone!" She said walking further from the couple. Mothball closed the door and put the invitation on the table.
" Mothy, start packing." Screwball said with a smile.
"Why?"
" Umm, you said we were going to Crystal Empire!"
"Yeah, but on Hearth's Warming day!" He protested. Screwball shook her head.
" Nope." She said getting upstairs. Mothball groaned.
"Fine." He said before following his wife upstairs.
" Sooo pretty!!" Screwball walked out of the train admiring the Empire. She walked closer and groaned.
" What's taking so long?" She said looking back and seeing her husband barely getting out of the train. He had five bags on top of him and one in his mouth.
"W-why did you pack s-so much!?" He said walking slowly to his wife. Screwball just shrugged. She took two bags with her magic, making Mothball sigh.
" Thanks."
"No problem."
As they walked to the Empire they gaped at its beauty. All the crystal ponies were smiling and talking. Suddenly something bumped into them. It was small, so it didn't make them fall. A little filly was rubbing her head.
" I'm sorry!" She said doing puppy eyes.
" Don't worry." Mothball said. The filly smiled and went running. Screwball sighed.
"We are going to have on of those, in some months Mothy." She said with a warm smile. Mothball smiled back and nodded. It was silent for a few minutes, until they reached the castle. Screwball happily trotted to the castle and knocked. They were greeted by a pink with blue mane alicorn. She smiled when she saw Screwball.
" Screwy!"
" Flutterby Lily!"
They giggled and Screwball started to do their usual greeting.
"Sunshine, sun-" Screwball said but was stopped by Flutterby Lily's hoof.
" What gives?" She said raising an eyebrow.
" You are pregnant." Flutterby said entering the castle and gesturing for them to followed. Screwball groaned annoyed. Mothball looked at her and chuckled. He hugged her with his wing only to get a groan from her.
" Screwball! Mothball!" They heard two voices. Cadance and Shining Armor went to greet them. Screwball hugged Cadance and Mothball nodded to Shining Armor.
"So, how's your pregnancy?" Cadance said with a smile.
"It's fine. But I can't wait for my baby belly!"
Shining Armor chuckled.
" You still have to wait a lot for that." Shining Armor said hugging his wife.
" Hey, you better prepare yourself for the mood swings....she being daughter of chaos... your going to have it pretty badly." Shining Armor whispered to Mothball. Mothball had his eyes widened as he gaped at him. With his mouth still opened he looked at Screwball who was laughing with Cadance. He gulped as Shining Armor chuckled.
" Well, will you be staying here for the next week?" Cadance said.
" Well, although I really like the castle, I wanted to get our own room in a hotel or something." Screwball said. Cadance nodded and thought for some minutes. Shining them smiled.
" We don't know any hotels, but we know some pretty good houses that are for rent. And we will pay them." He said. Cadance nodded.
" Right! Flutterby Liliy's best friend's family is on vacation, they have their house for rent. We can tell them!" She said with a smile.
" On it!" Flutterby shouted and ran to her room.
" Thank you. But we will pay it. " Mothball said.
" Oh no no. We will pay it." Cadance said. Shining nodded, and Mothball shook her head.
" Uh uh. We will pay it. You already done too much." Screwball said. Cadance was about to protest but her daughter came running.
" They said no problem! And since its for the daughter of chaos, they will give it to them for free! The time they need it!" Flutterby Lily said excited.
" Okay, that's settled then." Shining Armor said with a chuckle.
" Well thanks a lot! "
Screwball and Mothball entered their temporally house. They both put the bags on the floor and gave the house one good look. They both gaped at it's beauty. It had two floors, the living room was huge and so was the sofa. They had a TV in the wall and a lot of decorative plants. They moved to see the kitchen. It was huge as well. It had one table for 8 ponies and a lot of decorative things too. They moved to the bathroom. It had a shower and a Jacuzzi. They smiled at the decorative things AGAIN. They went upstairs. It was mostly rooms. Three rooms, and two bathrooms upstairs. They entered one of the rooms. It was all turquoise. But rather girly. That was clearly Flutterby Lily's friend.
They moved to the other room. It had a huge bed and a lot of pretty things. Both of the tables by the bed's side were white. They had a lamp on them and some flowers. The windows had baby blue curtains that matched the bed. There was another bathroom in that room. It had a huge mirror and some candles. A Jacuzzi that included a shower and some soaps with really nice smells. I would tell you more, but the house was way too huge.
Screwball smiled.
" This place is AMAZING!" She shouted throwing herself on the bed. She sighed and wrapped herself in the cozy, fluffy baby blue blankets. She then looked like a burrito. Mothball chuckled.
"Comfy?" He said laying down by her burrito wife. Screwball chuckled. Mothball looked around. It was too dark, instead of turning on the light he opened the curtains, making the sun hit Screwball's face. She hissed and she wrapped her face in her burrito.
" Sorry sweetheart." Mothball said with a chuckle. He then looked at the backyard and gasped.
" Honey, they have a pool!" He said. Screwball's burrito turned into a squashed burrito. She stood up and sat on top of the blankets with a smile.
" Really!?" She shouted. Mothball nodded with a smile. His wife gasped and with a smile went running downstairs to the backyard.
" Screwy! Your pregnant! Be careful!" He shouted. He then heard a long bang and some glass breaking.
" SCREWBALL!?"
Mothball ran to the door and downstairs. He didn't see his wife so he ran to the door that led to the backyard. By the door's side was a little wooden table with a flower vase, well there WAS a flower vase. He saw his wife floating on top of the broken glass with a scared expression. Mothball sighed in relief. Screwball slowly went back to the ground and shut down her magic.
" Screwy, please be careful. Now we have to pay that. Not only that, you could have gotten majorly hurt." He said going to his wife and helping her so she wouldn't step on the glass. Screwball smiled awkwardly.
" I know. I know. I will listen to you next time." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek and using her magic to clean the glass and put a new vase on the table. She ran outside.
" Oh well, we don't have to pay it." Mothball said with a smile.
" WATER BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMB!!!!!!!!" He heard with a splash following the scream. He then chuckled.
" She still has a beautiful childish spirit." He said going out to the pool too.

-Read,Write,Draw!
In Screwball's first month she and Mothball went to the Crystal Empire. They stayed some weeks there and passes Heart Warming Eve there. After a week or so they went back to their home and normal life.
It was a nice, dark and quiet morning. Mothball was resting peacefully in his bed when he heard some sounds. His ears perked up as he moved to the side his wife was resting. She wasn't there. He then heard the sound again. It sounded like.. liquid and chunks of something going down. He looked at the bathroom and heard the sounds again.
"Screwy??" He shouted.
"I'm-hurrrrggggeee-in the bathroom!!" He heard a shout. He walked to the bathroom and knocked.
" Can I come in?"
"Yeah."
Mothball entered the bathroom to find his wife sitting by the toilet. She looked exhausted and her usual happy mood wasn't noticeable.
" Are you okay?" He said walking to her side. Screwball stood up and sighed.
"Yeah, I think it's over now." She said then washing her teeth.
" I know it's obvious... but were you throwing up?" Mothball said only receiving a glare from his wife.
" It's normal.." She said walking out of the bathroom.
"I read it in the internet. It has all sort of crazy symptoms." She said again throwing herself on the bed.
" Oh yeah... when do the mood swings start?" Mothball said laying by her side. Screwball looked at him with an ' Are you kidding me?' look.
" What!? You scared of me!?!?! Huh huh!?!?" She suddenly shouted out of nowhere. Mothball gaped at her for some minutes.
" Well, ugh you know what, your sleeping on the couch!" Screwball said pushing Mothball and making him fall to the floor.
" But I just asked-"
"GO!" Mothball was about to argue but he felt something something touching him in the back. He turned around and saw a..... boot? It kicked him making him fall out of the room.
"Thank you." Screwball said with a smile and closed the door with her magic. Mothball sighed and rubbed hi back after yawning.
" Well that answers my question." He said going downstairs. He then sat on the couch and looked at the time.
7:38
He sighed and looked to the kitchen. He was starving. He only ate chocolate milkshake since it tasted like love. He COULD eat solid food but it didn't tasted well. Like for example, when Fluttershy made that breakfast. Screwball seemed to love it, but Mothball didn't. He said he did just not to hurt her feelings or Screwball's. It actually tasted really bad. The only one that made the chocolate milk really good and fast was Screwball and Fluttershy. He had no powers to just poof it, or any idea on how to make it. He then sighed and looked upstairs. He couldn't ask Screwball, she would kick him again, but he was starving. He sighed and decided to try it. He went upstairs and knocked.
" Screwy?" He said, trying not to get on her bad side again. But instead of hearing any response he heard sobbing. He opened the door quickly and saw Screwball crying. He ran to her and moved her mane out of her face.
" Hey.. what's wrong??" He said lovingly, knowing it was another mood swing. Screwball sniffed.
" W-what if I'm not a good mother?" She said still crying.
" You will be a good mother Screwy. " He said laying down by her side slowly, not wanting her to explode again.
" But how are you so sure??" She said then putting her hooves on her face. Mothball smiled and wrapped his wing around her, bringing her closer to him.
" Because, you are my wife. Because you are Screwball. Because.. I love you and I know that you are a beautiful, lovingly, caring, nice, cute mare. And nothing can change that." He said with a warm smile. Screwball smiled and hugged him tighter than ever.
" Oh Mothy, I'm so sorry for treating you that way!" She said crying again.
" Don't worry.." He said. She was crying again. Boy, this mood swings were though. She sniffed and laid her head on his chest.
" You must be starving." Screwball said then sitting up. Mothball sighed in relief.
" Yeah."
Screwball smiled and appeared a big glass of chocolate milkshake. Mothball smiled and started drinking it, like if it was the end of the world. Screwball giggled and appeared on her lap her own plate of eggs, covered in chocolate. Mothball frowned. He wasn't sure if they were food carvings, or just Screwball.
" Well, so far it's good. Your baby is developing really well! I can't see it too well, but I could see the ,most important things." The doctor said with a smile. She was a unicorn with white coat and pink mane, wrapped in a pony tail. Her cutie mark was a lily blossom and a needle. Her turquoise eyes moved to Screwball.
" I'm happy to hear that." Mothball said with a smile.
" When can we know the genders Lily?" Screwball said, she knew Lily very well.
" Well, come here in like 3 months, It may be possible for me to see the foal." Lily said with a smile.
" So how much?" Mothball said. Lily rolled her turquoise eyes.
" I told you a thousand times, you don't have to pay me for your visits." She said turning off the screen.
" Please Lily, you are way too kind." Screwball then said getting down the bed and walking to Mothball. Lily just shook her head.
" Fine." Mothball said gesturing for his wife to walk out. He then let Lily pass. He was left alone at her office and left 5 bits on top of her desk. He smiled and went outside of the office.
After getting outside the building they decided to go visit Discord and Fluttershy.
Knock Knock
''I'll get it!'' Discord shouted going to the door. When he opened it his smile grew bigger than it already was.
"Daddy!" Screwball shouted. She hugged her father. Discord happily hugged her back.
"So what is the gender?" Fluttershy said tying up her mane in a bun.
"We don't know, at least until 3 months." Mothball said. Discord nodded.
"I can't wait to be a grandfather!!! Yay! " he said making everyone giggle.
"Want to go eat tonight?" Fluttershy said. Screwball nodded happily.
Screwball was combing her mane and Mothball was in the bathroom. Screwball knocked on the bathroom door.
"Mothy!! Hurry!" She shouted. Almost immediately Mothball opened the door. He had a tuxedo and his mane was not so messy like always. Screwball smiled.
"You look so handsome Mothy!" She said happily. Mothball scoffed.
" Really! " She said nudging him. Mothball smiled. Screwball took her dress and entered the bathroom. After some minutes she came out. Her dress was white white purple swirls matching her eyes and mane. She had some pretty white earrings and a beautiful messy bun. She winked at him playfully and went to the mirror. She started putting some makeup. She looked at Mothball who was smiling.
" Mothy! Stop staring!" She said with a giggle.
"Can't. Your too pretty." He said making her blush.
"Well, enjoy it! Cause in some months I'm going to look a fatty patty." She said with a sigh. Mothball chuckled and wrapped his hooves around her.
"It doesn't matter. You will still be beautiful!" He said. Screwball giggled.
"Look at the time!" She said making an excuse to get out of his embrace. She got out with a smile. Mothball chuckled.
"I'll get you later." He said making her eyes widen. She giggled and walked fast to the door. He followed her and they both went to the restaurant.
When they entered a slow violin music was playing. The tables were all fancy and candles were in the middle of each table. They both searched for the table. Then a light green mare with dark purple mane came to them.
" Good night, welcome to Wine and Dinner, my name is Purple Wine, table for two?" She said with a small smile.
"Good night, actually my parents already reserved a table." Screwball said. The mare looked at her papers.
"Discord and Fluttershy" Mothball said.
"Ahhh, yes. Follow me." Purple Wine said. She guided them to a four chair table. Two sits were already occupied by a draconoquus with a tuxedo and by a pretty pegasus with a turquoise dress. Her mane tied in a messy bun and her eyelashes longer than ever. Screwball and Mothball sat down and smiled.
"Hello, you look really nice today." Fluttershy said making everyone laugh. She bat her eyelashes innocently and giggled.
"So, any thoughts on names?" Discord said.
"Well, we have been thinking... like, if it's a filly I said Rose, Aura, Dove, Ambar and Nightlight." Screwball said smiling.
" I like Rose." Fluttershy said.
" I don't like the name Aura. It sounds like a trouble maker. But I really like Dove." Discord said. Screwball nodded.
"And if it's a colt I thought of: Moonlight, Lucky, Pepper and Mystic." Mothball said.
" Nice." Fluttershy said. Then a waitress came. It was a stallion, his mane was red and his coat was light brown.
" May I take your order?" He said.
" Yes, I want the salad, what exactly does it have?" Fluttershy said.
" Ah yes, the famous salad! It has small tomatoes, peanuts, almonds, cheese and optional hay."
" Well thank you, I would want to add the hay please." Fluttershy said giving her menu to the stallion.
" I want the soup please, the fish soup." Discord said. Everyone shook their heads in disgust.
" I would want the um, Pasta Alfredo." Screwball said. The stallion nodded.
" I just want a chocolate milkshake please." Mothball said.
"Drinks?"
"Water for all please." Discord said.
"Except for me." Mothball said.
" I will come back in a short amount of time." The waitress said and left.
" So, fish?" Screwball said looking at her dad.
" Oh please, I will add chocolate and cotton candy. Along with a few more things." Discord said. Fluttershy giggled.
" Excuse me!" Purple Wine shouted on top of the stage.
" We have a very special guest! Please welcome, Countess Coloratura!" She shouted. Everypony clapped.
"Who?" Mothball whispered to Screwball.
"You'll see." Screwball said.
"We all now her incredible catchy songs and her fabulous style, but this time our favorite singer will come as her sweet simple self who we all love too!" Purple Wine said as Rara came on stage. Everypony cheered again.
"Thanks P.W. Hello everypony! You all now my new song Razzle Dazzle, but this is a fancy restaurant so I can't sing it." She said gaining a laugh from the audience. " So I will sing to you my new song, The magic inside." She said making everybody cheer. She sat down in front of her piano and started singing.
Author's note: I suggest you hear this through this scene. Just to be in the story. When it stops you can stop hearing it though :3.
They all settled again and let their ears hear those beautiful lyrics.
"Wow.." Mothball said. " Her voice is beautifull!" He said.
" You bet it is!" Discord said. They both earned a glare from their mares.
" But yours is better!" They both said. They all laughed together.
"But really, she sings amazing." Fluttershy said. Screwball nodded. Then the waitress came again with the drinks.
"Thanks." Fluttershy said. The stallion nodded and left.
Some minutes later the waitress came again with an awkward smile.
"I-I'm so sorry family. But we have a problem in the kitchen, your food is going to take a while." The waitress said.
"Oh.. well okay." Fluttershy said. The stallion left.
"Ugh, I'm so hungry how much to we have to wait??" Screwball said.
"Screwy, the waitress left some seconds ago." Discord said.
"Ughhhhhh" Screwball moaned.
After some hours the Discord family was desperate. The owner of the restaurant came to their table with an awkward smile.
"Hello family.. There is a major problem at the kitchen but I already ordered the chefs to start making your food." He said. Fluttershy was about to speak but she was interrupted.
"Finally!! What the heck took you so long!?!?!" Screwball shouted hitting the table. The stallion blinked and cleared his throat.
"I-I told you miss.. the kitchen h-has a problem.." He said getting scared after seeing Screwball's hard glare.
"Well I-m starving!! Go ahead and make my food!" She shouted.
"Y-yes ma'am." The stallion said and walked away.
"Faster!!"
He ran to the kitchen. At the table Screwball received glares from everypony except Mothball.
" Screwy! What was that?" Fluttershy said surprised.
"I'll tell you what! This restaurant is garbage!" She shouted.
"Screwball!" Discord said putting his claw on her shoulder. Screwball crossed her hooves and looked to the other side. After some minutes the waitress came back sort of shaking.
"H-here. Also, we will give you 10% free.." The waitress said.
"Finally!" Screwball shouted and took her plater. She started eating like if there was no tomorrow.
