The morning sun was slowly rising over the grassy hilltops surrounding Ponyville.Everypony was awaking to the pleasant feeling of refreshing slumber.Everypony besides Applejack.Applejack awoke with a startling nauseous feeling,rushing downstairs to allow her stomach to reject the hay and oats she had the other night.This has been going on for awhile now,so today she went to go visit Doctor Stable.
"Applejack,the doctor can see you now.",said nurse pony,opening a door to allow the orange pony through.After a long wait, Applejack was finally allowed in.She described the problems she was having to Doctor Stable.He had an idea and tested Applejack.After reading the results,the doctor came to a conclusion.
"Applejack, you are pregnant, and..h-hey this can't be right..um after a magic test,the father ...is Discord.", the doctor said, staring in awe and fear.Applejack stared, and then belted out laughing.
"Hahah, ooh oh, you're funny doctor.I probably got a flu or something."
"Do you think I would joke about a very serious diagnosis!?!", the doctor said,obviously offended. Before he could finish, Applejack ran out of the building, heading towards the Orchards. Tears streaming down her cheeks and her muzzle already running, she sobbed and sobbed.After a while, she just sat there, until a familiar red colt came out of nowhere.
"Applejack?Why the tears on your face?", Big Mac asked, sitting down to comfort his little sis.Gathering up her courage, Applejack decided to tell him.
"Promise you won't go crazy?"
"Eeyup!"
"Big Mac, I'm.....pregnant."Applejack said, pointing a hoof at her underbelly.Big Mac stared, trying to comprehend.After a deep thought, Big Mac stood up.
"Are ya sure?"he asked,the whole time staring at her belly.
"Yeah, I went to see Doctor Stable.He confirmed that I have a foal in me.And the father is Discord, and I can see why."
"Discord?How?"
"Well,remember when Pinkie had that 21st birthday bash?Discord and I had a little too much cider that night and I went to lay down and he followed me and then we.."
"I don't need to imagine that!"Big Mac exclaimed, letting the image cease. Together they walked to the house, Applejack explaining as they went.
-2 months later-
Applejack lay on her bed with her head in a bucket. Being impregnated by the spirit of chaos himself had increased her morning sickness by alot.Now that her family knew they were very supportive and understanding. Today was going to be hard because Discord was coming back from Trottingham, he was sent on a mission to improve problems with chaos magic. Applejack was actually curious about his reaction. From what Celestia told her, Discord isn't very good with serious situations. Finally, a familiar voice came floating out of Twilight's newly arranged bookshelf, knocking down a few books here and there.
"Hello Twilight, how are you?",Discord said, about to sit down. Twilight quickly replied, "Discord before you get comfortable, you'd best go to Sweet Apple Acres. "There is a far more important situation that requires your attention.",The purple alicorn said in a stern voice that indicated she was very serious. He immediately teleported to Sweet Apple Acres, unfortunately spawning in Applejack's room to witness her violent nausea. Retching, Applejack looked up, looking a lighter shade of orange.
"Woah,woah, sorry Aj didn't realiyou were sick. Uh ,Applejack, what's...", he had been cut off when he caught a glimpse of her bulging belly. Connecting the dots, he got up and looked at her.
"Applejack, are you pregnant?", he said concerningly. Sighing, she replied.
"Yeah, yeah I am." Discord looked at her, then unexpectedly levitated her in the air and used chaos magic. When she was on the ground, most of her pregnancy pain lifted,but still resided. She trotted over to a mirror. She looked like herself, but most of her body was replaced with draconequus parts.
"It'll make it easier to carry the baby and calm your pain,but unfortunately it raises your sickness by alot. Don't worry you won't get sick now only in the mornings. Right now you should rest. Also I'd like to kno, just who is the father?", Discord said leading her to the bed. He tucked her in to the bed, making sure to loosen the blanket near her belly. Discord was about to leave, but Applejack stopped him.
"Discord, actually there is something you should know...u-ugh your the..father.", Applejack said. Discord stood ther astonished. A single tear rolled from his eye and he sat down. She just was too tired and instantly fell asleep. Discord looked at her, suddenly weary. He decided to
"Apple
The sun was rising slowly, wrapping it glowing embrace gently around Equestria. Discord slept peacefully, until he was awoken by sickening sounds. Getting up, he followed the noise to find Applejack with her head in the toilet, sitting in a weird position, due to her new features. Placing himself behind her and holding her mane back, he whispered,"It's okay, I'll be here.",rubbing her back to allow her comfort.She looked up and said,"Thank you.",and continueing to empty her stomach. This was going to be a long nine months.
2. Moody Apples and Cravings.
Applejack was sitting on the couch, attempting to get in a comfortable position, her bulging belly restricting her. She was now three months and today she was going to an appointment. She looked around, and then called for Discord.
"Discord! I'm hungry. Can you go get me some..hmm, oh get me some ice cream with bits of pickle, apple, and drizzled in caramel.", she exclaimed as Discord came. She had the strangest cravings, but they satisfied her.
"Woah, where am I gonna get that?", Discord asked, astounded by the pony's bizzare cravings. He'd seen the things she eats and craves, but they've gotten even more strange. Applejack had no idea where, so he went to the market to get the ingredients. While shopping, he had some complications with the price of the pickles. He wanted to hurry, because he knew Applejack would be very impatient. He flew to Sweet Apple Acres at a swift pace. He arrived and set the stuff in the kitchen. He quickly prepared the ice cream, drizzling the caramel at a fast pace made it a bit sloppy, but she wouldn't mind. When he entered the living room, he dropped the ice cream in shock. Sprawled on the floor lay Applejack, shaking and gasping for air, while a cup of milk was spilt beside her.
"Applejack!", exclaimed Discord, rushing over and picking her up. He used his magic and called Twilight. An image of the purple alicorn appeared and looked at him.
"Oh hello Discord, how are things.."
"Twilight,,g-get here quickest that you can!", Discord interrupted, panning the portal so Twilight can see. Twilight flew like a bullet out of the image and arrived nearly two seconds later. Using her alicorn magic, she teleported to the Emergency Room, quickly summoning a stretcher that hauled the orange pony into a room. Arriving seconds later, Discord waited in the waiting room, worry for Applejack causing him to tear up, then cry. Other ponies stared as he cried, feeling empathy. One brave pony walked over to him and placed a hoof on his shoulder. Without speaking, she soothed his worry, but couldn't stop his tears. He waited and waited until finally a doctor called him in. When he walked in, Applejack sat there smiling as the doctor took off the oxygen mask. When Applejack saw him, she couldn't help but giggle.
"Aw, you big baby, I'm alright just got the wind knocked out of me. If you're wondering how, I was a bit parched so I attempted grabbing the glass of milk, but due to my belly I had trouble and one slip sent me falling to the floor. Fortunately, I landed on my back and not my belly, so our baby is safe." she explained, giggling from here and there. Out of the blue, Discord went to her side and kissed her. Applejack had no problem and allowed his lips on to hers. Twilight witnessed the whole thing and was surprised, but she knew it would happen. Before Applejack had gotten pregnant, her and Discord use to playfully flirt here and there. The doctor interupted their kiss.
"This wasn't how I expected you'd arrive for your appointment, but I have done the tests. Would you like to know the gender and health?", the doctor asked, pulling up the ultrsound pictures. Pinkie wanted to throw them a baby shower so they needed to know the gender. It was official, they were having a healthy little girl.
3. What's the Name Going to Be?
Applejack was now seven months in her pregnancy. All had been good and well the past months. The foal was due in August, and that made Discord a bit jumpy at times. Today she was in the bakery enjoying a peanut butter and avocado cupcake, when an explosion of excruciating pain burst from her underside caused her to cry out in pain. Immediately, Discord telported to the hospital, taking Applejack with him. He took her in and the doctor looked over her pain and looked at the papers he held.
"Sadly, she isn't going into labor, she's only seven month along. What she was expieriencing was Braxton Hicks or in your case, false contractions. These happen because the body is preparing for real labor contractions. Your's were a bit extreme, only because the baby is a pony and a draconequus. The Braxton Hicks come from time time to time, to help I would lift your hooves up onto a table and drink a cold glass of water. These are supposed to occur during your eigth or ninth month, but your's happened a bit early, hinting that your foals due date has been nudged up a bit. Your foal will more and likely be born in July." the doctor explained.Applejack looked at her very swollen belly. Her foal will be here soon. Discord had teleported them home, putting Aj in a comfortable position, raising her hooves. He kindly grabbed a cold glass of her favorite water brand, Manehattan Mountains, and gave it to her. After that, she asked him a very important question.
"Discord, what's the name?"
"Huh?"
"What are we naming the foal?"
"Oh, I was thinking something like Applejade or Applehearts."
"Oh the irony. I knew you'd think I wanted her to have an apple in her name."
"Wait, what did you say before the whole apple in her name thing?"
"The irony?"
"That's it!Irony!That is a beautiful name."
So it was decided, her name will be Irony. After that they ate and watched television. Applejack was tired, so they went to sleep. Slumber enveloped them int it's refreshing embrace.
