The First Trimester

The first trimester was full of excitement, tears, and a constant barrage by Pinkie Pie.

"Ooh! OOH! OOOOHHH!!! Is it a boy or a girl? I can't wait to have a big party for the little foal!" Pinkie screamed. Fluttershy covered her ears and groaned.

"Pinkie! Shut up!" Shattered Heart snapped, her patience having reached its limit. "You're making Flutters uncomfortable with your banshee screams!" Fire lit up her chestnut eyes.

Pinkie Pie ran back into the kitchen of the bakery in fear. She silently frosted a cake and gave it to the expectant couple. With a wave of her hoof, she galloped upstairs to her room.

A Magical Conception

Fluttershy sat on the couch in the sitting room of her cottage. She seemed depressed for some reason. Her marefriend, a gray pegasus mare named Shattered Heart, walked in and took note.

“Everything okay, Flutters?” Shattered Heart asked, noticing her marefriend’s downcast eyes, which were already welling up. They both looked at each other as the same thought crossed their minds. Shattered sat down and wrapped a wing around the yellow mare. She whispered, “I know. I want a foal, too. Maybe Zecora could help us?”

Fluttershy dried her tears and nodded, smiling as Shattered Heart kissed her cheek. “S-sure… I hope it works…”

The two mares checked on the animals throughout the cottage before leaving and closing the door behind them. They headed into the Everfree Forest to find Zecora’s hut.

Flutters seemed nervous. “A-are you sure about this? What if we--”

Just then, a zebra with a black and white mohawk answered the door. “Ah, Fluttershy and Shattered Heart! What causes you from your home to depart?”

“Zecora, Fluttershy and I want a foal. We don’t care if it’s a colt, filly, or she-colt.”

“So, you two desire a foal. Come with me if you wish to reach your goal,” Zecora replied with a smile, ushering the winged mares inside. She began to mix different plants into a cauldron of water. “Sticks of laurel and ivy leaves, a miracle a mare conceives.” They all looked into the cauldron as the mixture changed colors, from pink to green and back to pink. “Drink this mixture and you will see, happy parents you shall soon be.”

Fluttershy squeed and sniffed the potion before downing it. She hugged the other two mares and dragged Shattered Heart out. “I can’t believe we’re going to have a foal of our own!”
